Hi,
I am designing an App to collect some sensor data using Bluetooth HC-05. I can see the device, and the data is receiving correctly when I checked it with the Serial Bluetooth terminal. However, I can’t see the device name or ID while I use the BLE component in Thunkable. Please help me if anyone has faced the same issue and got some solution.
Hi,
When you say that “I can see the device” do you mean in your bluetooth settings on the Android device?
Bluetooth and Bluetooth Low Energy are 2 different things, so you may be able to see the sensor in the Bluetooth settings on your Android device but it doesn’t appear in a BLE scan.
Looking here, it seems that the HC-05 runs Bluetooth 2.0 rather than BLE.
To make sure, download this app - Lightblue, which searches for BLE devices specifically.
If you can see it, you can get the hex id and run this code to connect to it.
You will need to create a BLE component under Bluetooth.
If you need any further assistance, I will try to help.

Hi,
Thank you for your reply. While using the Serial Bluetooth Terminal app as well as the Android device settings, I can see my Bluetooth device (3rd image). The Serial Bluetooth Terminal app shows my device under the Bluetooth classic list, not under the Bluetooth LE list (2nd and 3rd images). I searched for the device using Lightblue. However, I can’t see my device (1st image). I tried to search by name as well as MAC address. Last image is the list of devices that I get while using Thunkable. It doesn’t show my device.
Ok,
So you confirmed that the HC-05 as Bluetooth Classic and not BLE so it will not be seen by Thunkable unfortunately.
Hi,
Is there any option to use Bluetooth Classic in Thunkable for data transfer?
