Tales of Web Bluetooth

on YouTube ↗46m

" summary

Live demos show Web Bluetooth driving a cheap smart lamp, a Parrot drone, and an emulated battery service while combining getUserMedia for a smart light color picker and Web Speech for voice on/off. Code uses Chrome-only Web Bluetooth (Chromebook/Android support), a small reconnect-and-cache JS library, and Bluetooth Profile Emulator; limitations include required user gesture, no room scanning, passive-only connections, and flaky hardware demos—some interactions work reliably, others fail in the room.
