Hi Thunkers! We are working on a number of exciting hardware/sensor related components right now for Thunkable ✕, including Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). We are looking for your help to make sure we build what you are looking for. For those of you looking for the BLE component: How are you plannin…

Hi Thunkeneers, Any update on BLE availability? I have a commercial project thats just waiting for it.

It will be coming very soon! Keep eyes on Thunkable Docs : https://docs.thunkable.com/release-notes Thanks. :slight_smile:

Thanks for all of your feedback! We hope to launch a version of the BLE component it in the next week, and would love your feedback when it is launched!

Hi All, If you haven’t seen it yet, we recently launched the BLE component. Please try it out and let us know your thoughts! https://docs.thunkable.com/bluetooth-low-energy Best, Arun

It seems to work well! It took a little getting used to, but we were able to get a listviewer to show of both the available Device IDs and the Device Names. Having the friendly names available and searchable is a huge plus. Thanks team! PS: Looking forward to Classic Bluetooth :grinning:

I’m really excited and finally have the time to try the BLE Component. It seems there is only read and write capability and no notify? Is that correct? I am trying to talk to a device which uses notify. If notify is missing do you plan to add it? My understanding is that notify is very commonly…

On further experimentation you definitely need to add a “when/do” on notify. I can’t create a loop that polls the BLE read anywhere near fast enough to reliably capture data from a pretty lazy BLE device. Please add an event driven Notify option :pray:

A testable “connected state” would be very helpful too.

I’m using BLE component intensively last few months, and I think it really works great. I’m using it as a remote controller for ESP 32 based project. It is simple to use, stable, no-nonsense. The only thing that I found might be useful to add could be BT disconnect option. It is really great and it…

Hollo to everyone! Yeah, why is no disconnect function in bt module, like in classic version? I need it very hard, for using with arduino.
