You may also be interested in how we expose non-IoTivity BLE sensors as OCF servers in our SmartHome-Demo (https://01.org/smarthome). We have a couple of those in the repo: * Environmental sensor (using GATT ESS [1]): https://github.com/01org/SmartHome-Demo/blob/master/ocf-servers/js-servers/environmental_sensor.js * Power Meter (using a BLE custom service): https://github.com/01org/SmartHome-Demo/pull/53 (note: this is the link to the PR that we are reviewing at the moment, as soon as it gets merged, the final version will be in https://github.com/01org/SmartHome-Demo/blob/master/ocf-servers/js-servers/power-uart.js). This may (or may not) help you depending on what you want to achieve. If your objective is to expose your BLE sensor as an OCF server in the network, then this is one (easy) solution. The dependencies to be installed on your Ubuntu PC are: * iotivity (we use 1.1.1 at the moment) * iotivity-node * node.js * noble (BLE module for node.js) I hope this helps, let me know if you have any questions.
