Thunkable connectivity to BLE depends on pairing which means you can only receive from a characteristic UUID with **READ** property.

Find a UUID with **READ** property so you can read from it.

Thunkable will not be able to read from broadcast UUIDs.

Have you tried to look via NRF connect to check your Raspberry pi is send the data over the correct UUID?  
You can get it here if you don’t have it. [https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=no.nordicsemi.android.mcp&hl=en&gl=US](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=no.nordicsemi.android.mcp&hl=en&gl=US)
