I need to have a simple data pass to and from an ESP32 module by bluetooth classic or BLE, but need to be cross platform. Any ideas? ---

Hi @zara_claudy, thanks for your question. We’re working on the Bluetooth component at the moment, can you tell us a little more about the type of app you are trying to build? Thanks ---

Sure. it is an app to control a bluetooth powered lock on an ESP32. It passes an integer to a switch to operate the lock/unlock loop also, the app receives a string containing the battery voltage to drive a meter in the app. At the moment it is classic bluetooth with a 6 digit pairing pin for security. I’d like to migrate it to BLE though for power savings. ---
