Secure AVR BLE IoT Node is a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) enabled mobile application developed by Microchip. It provides user interface to Secure AVR BLE IoT Node kit. The mobile app will authenticate the kit after connected with the kit via BLE, It verifies the (compressed) certificate chain of the Secure AVR IoT node kit. After that the sensor data will be transmitted through BLE and is shown in the mobile app as: temperature data and 3X accelerometer data. Main Features: 1. BLE devices scanning and connecting. 2. Kit authentication. 3. Range estimation by RSSI. 4. Temperature curve. 5. 3X accelerometer curve. 6. About page.
BlueRange Setup

The BlueRange Setup app acts as a personal assistant for the smooth enrollment of BlueRange Gateways and BlueRange Mesh Nodes in a BlueRange Mesh. The quick and easy configuration of the components and extensive diagnostic functions facilitate use on the construction site. With the innovative BlueRange Mesh based on Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), room automation and wireless networking of lighting, sun protection, heating, ventilation, cooling (HVAC) and a wide range of sensors can be flexibly implemented for maximum room comfort. Functions overview: - Enrollment of BlueRange Gateways and BlueRange Mesh Nodes - Positioning of BlueRange Gateways and Mesh Nodes in a floor plan - Reading out sensor values - Replacing mesh components - Configuration of network settings (e.g. DHCP, DNS, NTP time server or static IP) - Diagnosis of BlueRange Gateways (e.g. connection status) - Analysis of BlueRange Mesh Nodes in the vicinity - Collecting mesh components for bulk enrollment via bulk QR code scanner - BLE radar for locating mesh components in the building - Locating networks via devices using QR code, Nearby or NFC scan - Switching between different buildings and organizations - Switching between different networks within an organization - Creating and editing buildings, floors and networks The BlueRange Setup app is primarily aimed at commissioning partners and operators of digital buildings with BlueRange Mesh components. BlueRange is the digital foundation in buildings, making it possible to implement and provide a wide range of use cases in a smart building. Smart buildings are more energy efficient and thus help to reduce the CO2 footprint in the real estate sector. The BlueRange Mesh can be used to query sensor values in real time and control components in the building. BlueRange thus increases the transparency of the individual components and makes it possible to determine the quality of operation. BlueRange is a WiredScore-accredited solution and provides decisive added value for SmartScore certification. Access to the BlueRange IoT platform is required to use the BlueRange Setup app.
