  • Hi! Yes, you can definitely do that pretty easily with EspruinoHub.

    There's a bit of info on the commands to send here: https://github.com/espruino/EspruinoHub#­connections

    You just need your device's MAC address (which you can see on the EspruinoHub status page at pi:1888/status) - for instance in my case it's c6:a8:1a:1f:87:16.

    Then you just send "\x10E.showMessage('Hello')\n" to "/ble/write/c6:a8:1a:1f:87:16/nus/nus_tx­" via MQTT.

    For instance sending "\x10E.showMessage('Hello')\n" should write 'hello' on the screen.

    Or you could send "\x10myStatus=1234;\n" or maybe if you define a function in your Bangle.js app called setStatus then you can just call "\x10setStatus(123)\n"

    The \x10 (char code 16) isn't required, but it just stops the Bangle 'echoing' the characters back via Bluetooth which can make it more reliable if you send loads of data.

    Worth noting that it's hard to use the mosquitto_pub command to send newlines/escape codes. You can do:

    mosquitto_pub -t "/ble/write/c6:a8:1a:1f:87:16/nus/nus_tx­" -m 'E.showMessage("Hello There")\
    '
    

    The trailing slash on the line is important as that allows you to send a newline inside a string argument, but it's a bit hacky and it'd be better if you can send directly from within your application.
