LuminaSet Bluetooth Utility

Read full description

Scan for nearby Bluetooth Low Energy peripherals and explore their services, characteristics, and device information. Built for firmware and hardware engineers who need to read, write, and verify GATT values quickly. Subscription required. Write and read any characteristic Write/Read characteristic values as strings, decimal numbers, or hex. With byte-order (big-endian / little-endian) and signed / unsigned interpretation for integer values. Hex entry that formats into byte pairs as you type without losing your cursor position. Read values from any characteristic, including custom and non-standard ones specific to your device. Subscribe to notifications and indications per characteristic and watch asynchronous updates arrive live. Built for repeat testing Write history is retained per device, per service, and per characteristic: twenty devices running identical firmware each keep their own characteristic write log and also has write history for matching Service + Characteristic / identical devices. Every write is timestamped and marked with its outcome, so you can see at a glance which values the peripheral accepted and which it rejected. Tap any past value to resend it instantly. Write to every connected device that exposes the same characteristic in a single action. See what the device actually is Service, characteristic, and descriptor names resolved from the Bluetooth SIG assigned numbers. Manufacturer resolved from the SIG company identifier in the advertising packet. Model number, serial number, and firmware, hardware, and software revisions read from the Device Information Service. Real-time signal strength and advertising details for every nearby device, with proximity and unknown-device filters. Console Log Live console with detailed, timestamped events for every connection, read, write, and notification. Filter the console by device, characteristic, UUID, or value to find one event among thousands. Full-screen console on iPhone. Export console output to a .txt file to attach to a bug report or share with your team. Terms of Use (EULA): https://keois.com/products/luminaset/terms-of-use.html Privacy Policy: https://keois.com/products/luminaset/privacy-policy.html Who this is for LuminaSet Bluetooth Utility is used by embedded firmware developers bringing up new hardware, QA and production-test teams verifying units before they ship, field engineers diagnosing deployed devices, and instructors teaching Bluetooth Low Energy. If you write firmware that exposes a GATT service, this is the tool for confirming it behaves the way you intended — before you write a companion app. Moving from prototype to production When you go from one board on a bench to a batch on a line, keeping track of which unit received what becomes the hard part. Write history is scoped to the individual device rather than to the characteristic UUID, so identical units never share a log, and each entry records the time and whether the peripheral acknowledged it. Devices that publish a serial number over the Device Information Service are identified by that serial. Broadcast writes let you push the same provisioning value to every connected unit that supports it in one action. Supported devices Works with any Bluetooth Low Energy peripheral, including development kits and modules from Nordic Semiconductor, Espressif, Texas Instruments, Silicon Labs, and STMicroelectronics, as well as commercial sensors, beacons, wearables, and industrial equipment. Requires Bluetooth LE hardware; classic Bluetooth and Wi-Fi devices are outside the scope of Core Bluetooth and will not appear.

About

IntelliView Mobile

Features
Read full description

IntelliView is the Bluetooth companion app for IntelliSensor wireless monitoring units from E-Control Systems. It finds the units around you, connects to one, and gives you the tools a technician needs on site: live readings, the unit's configuration, its command menu, its debug log and firmware updates. No cables, no laptop, no account. FIND YOUR UNITS • See every IntelliSensor advertising nearby, with its board, unit ID, signal strength and what it offers over Bluetooth. • Units you have visited before show their model and firmware version straight away. • The app tells you how to turn a unit's Bluetooth on when none is listed. LIVE READINGS • Stream the unit's inputs: temperature, humidity, analog and digital channels, each with its status, minimum, maximum and mean. • Tap inputs to chart them over the last 5 minutes, 30 minutes or the whole session. • Battery, firmware, radio module, data flash and MAC address at a glance. • If the link drops, the app waits for the unit and resumes by itself. Share the readings log when you are done. CONFIGURATION • Read the wireless, IP address, server, reporting, inputs, calibration and display and time settings, all at once or one section at a time. • Edit values with validation, then write only what changed. The unit keeps running. • Save a configuration profile, load it onto another unit or send it to a colleague. Profiles are the same .ecs files IntelliView Desktop uses. COMMANDS AND LOG • Send the unit's menu commands: trigger a transmission, run the self-tests, read status reports, reboot. • Capture the firmware's debug log in the background, even while you work on another unit, and share it with support. FIRMWARE UPDATES • See the two firmware banks on the unit, switch between them or erase the spare. • Install an image from the ECS update server or from a file on your phone. The update carries on if you open another unit or put the app in the background, and the app confirms the new version after the reboot. • On units with a radio module, update the module's firmware too. WORKS WITH IntelliSensor v2C and v4 units with Bluetooth. The tools need unit firmware 3.27 / 4.27 or later; an older unit can still receive a firmware update, which brings the tools with it. PRIVACY IntelliView needs Bluetooth to find and talk to units. The app never uses your location. Nothing leaves your phone unless you choose Send diagnostics in Settings, which sends the app's log and the units' debug logs to E-Control Systems support. IntelliView is made by E-Control Systems, Inc. for its customers and service partners.
