Is it possible to serve data using bluetooth?
Iow, if I have a simple temp and humidity sensor feeding data to a Nano. Is it possible to use bluetooth instead of wifi to serve data to devices like cellphones and laptops without having to create an app for every kind of device?
I guess I'm thinking about giving the bluetooth device some sort of ip and making it act as a server?
I guess you need to clarify what you mean by "serve data", but it's a probable yes.
You don't need to create any apps, unless the plethora of apps already available don't serve your needs, which is unlikely.

It doesn't sound like a good idea. Why don't you just use it as a serial device like everybody else does?
Because I want the wireless connectivity to allow me to connect to the bluetooth module and simply read a few numbers. Its for a warehouse monitor and instead of having to physically go to the screen, I would just query the bluetooth module for the data.
I dont like wifi because it seems like overkill for just a few numbers.
I dont like the idea of creating an app for it because i have to maintain the app over many years and over many platforms. So I was just thinking of using a browser to open up the bluetooth module service and view the data.
Well, if you can just come to terms with using a standard terminal programme like everybody else does, and get off this idea of using a browser, all your dreams will come true.
yeah but i want people to be able to view the data by using a program they already know how to use (browser). But ok, I guess its not doable. Then Ill go for wifi.
Thanks
