  • Scanning for advertising packets however takes more power

    ok, but it happens once (in my case), when I start the app, it scans, connects to Android, then I assume, it just listens for updates. Does it still draws more power?

    Another caveat having a peripheral/server on watch - it will be second peripheral, so no debugging is possible because only one device of each kind is currently supported. Or I am wrong again?

  • ok, but it happens once (in my case), when I start the app, it scans, connects to Android, then I assume, it just listens for updates.

    yes, this was for case when periodically advertising the data (like temperarure, heartrate,...) directly without ever conecting, then for getting updated values one would need to scan repeatedly from phone => more phone battery usage

    as for getting console output, yes that could make that complicated or impossible, maybe reusing same connection could work from same phone (as per https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3403­6893/one-bluetooth-device-with-multiple-­apps ) but not from other devices. It definitely works from two different tabs in Chrome e.g one having app loader and second having web ide connected
