The ST BLE Sensor Classic application is used in conjunction with an ST development board and firmware compatible with the BlueST protocol to give you access to all the sensor data, which you can log to different cloud providers, and to update the board firmware directly from a mobile device via the Bluetooth® Low Energy protocol. After discovery ST development board, the app shows you a list of available demos and you can navigate through them to discover the functionalities of your board. Demos can be related about environmental, cloud, audio, board configuration, machine learning and and many other functionalities. Cloud side, ST BLE Sensor can communicate with Microsoft Azure IoT Central, Aws IoT and ST Asset Tracking dashboard. The application is built on top of the BlueST SDK library implementing the BlueST protocol and helps you export the data easily via Bluetooth® Low Energy. The application also supports firmware library algorithms like motion-sensor data fusion, activity recognition and pedometer functionality. Both SDK and application source code are freely available at: https://github.com/STMicroelectronics
QHub Mobile
This app records and visualizes data from Bluetooth LE sensors using the QSS service profile. It allows users to connect sensors, send commands, view live data plots, mark events, and save recordings as CSV files for offline analysis. User accounts enable cloud uploads of recorded sessions.
- Records Bluetooth LE sensor data
- Plots live data streams

QHub records and plots data from Bluetooth LE sensors that implement the QSS service profile. Connect a sensor, send its commands, watch its data streams on live plots, mark events, and keep every recording on your device as session folders with CSV files you can open in the Files app. • Configs describe each sensor's commands and data streams • Recording continues while the app is in the background • Sign in with a username and password to upload recordings to the QHub server • Works offline; recordings never depend on a network connection A sensor that implements the QSS service profile is required. Settings → Bluetooth → Simulated sensors lets you try the app without one.
