Bluetooth is connected function

I was wondering if there’s a way to re-create create this block function. Would the scan block on thunkable work the same as the IsConnected on MIT App Builder? Im having trouble figuring out how to do the IsConnected part. If anyone has any ideas how to do it, any help would be great.

Bluetooth and BLE although very similar, they are not the same. You can transfer file or image using a Bluetooth connection but you will not be able to achieve such task with BLE. In the other hand, a heart rate monitor will send its data to a BLE device but not to a Bluetooth one.

See this comparison chart for your reference. (Source: Bluetooth SIG)

hmm okay. Is there anyway that I could potentially make this work? These are the other blocks that its involved with. I wouldn’t necessarily have to run it when Bluetooth is connected unless there is a way to do that. I could also run it when the screen opens.

Could I just use the Opens or Starts block?
