Re: Connect Bluetooth Device

This reminds me of a question I've been meaning to ask.


Is there a specification for a UA to populate the proposed referringDevice object?


I assume the first implementation will be to securely pass the device from physical web to chrome, but has any thought been given to making this device injection possible with other applications (a flag when starting chrome populated with the device handle, perhaps?).


It would also allow me to specify a referringDevice in the Bleat project (perhaps as a command line switch).


Cheers,


Rob

It is not yet available sadly.

Once the Permissions API is implemented, you'll be able to retrieve a BluetoothDevice instance based on a persistent ID you would have saved previously. See an example of this at https://webbluetoothcg.github.io/web-bluetooth/#example-permission-api-query

Hi Community,

I just started developing with Web Bluetooth and everything works fine.
But I have one question left so far.

Is it possible to connect to a certain bluetooth device automatically?

Thanks in advance!

Kind Regards,

David
