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.
