MQTT Alino vs Bluetooth Scanner・Find Devices

MQTT Alino is a powerful MQTT client for iOS designed for IoT developers, home automation enthusiasts, and anyone who needs to monitor and control connected devices. Connect to any MQTT broker — Mosquitto, HiveMQ, EMQX, or any other — and manage subscriptions and commands from one intuitive app. KEY FEATURES Multiple Projects Manage several MQTT brokers at once, each with its own host, port, credentials, and protocol. Switch between brokers with a single tap. Real-time Subscriptions Subscribe to any MQTT topic and view incoming messages with precise timestamps. Messages are stored locally for offline review. Quick Commands Build a library of ready-to-use MQTT commands. Send messages with a single tap, with support for custom payloads, QoS levels 0/1/2, and the RETAIN flag. Secure Connections TLS/SSL encryption support. Login credentials are stored securely in the iOS Keychain using secure storage. Local Data Only All projects, subscriptions, and commands are stored exclusively on your device. No account required, no data sent to external servers. PERFECT FOR — IoT developers validating devices and MQTT infrastructure — Home automation enthusiasts (Home Assistant, OpenHAB, Node-RED, etc.) — System administrators monitoring real-time data streams — Students and makers learning the MQTT protocol — Anyone who wants to control smart devices from their iPhone SUPPORTED PROTOCOLS mqtt:// — standard connection (port 1883) mqtts:// — TLS/SSL encrypted connection (port 8883) ws:// — MQTT over WebSocket wss:// — MQTT over secure WebSocket

The device you need can be broadcasting nearby under a name you do not recognize. Start a scan where you expect it, filter and sort the live devices, then watch its Signal (RSSI) respond as you move. The active list refreshes every half-second with available names, inferred types, manufacturers, and RSSI. A device disappears after 12 seconds without another broadcast, so the list stays centered on the radio environment right now instead of becoming a permanent packet record. Pick one identifier and the radar smooths RSSI into three practical proximity bands: very close, close, and far. If the same identifier is not detected for five seconds, it reports signal lost rather than claiming a direction it never measured. When a peripheral accepts a connection, Services & characteristics shows the GATT structure it actually exposes. Values actually read from characteristics that report read support appear as hexadecimal bytes with printable ASCII when appropriate. Notifications from characteristics that report notify or indicate support can be monitored when the peripheral delivers them. Opening a device from the live list attempts to add or update it in a local list for renaming, revisiting, or deletion; each successful write keeps the 200 most recent records. Scanning is limited to current BLE broadcasts while the app is in the foreground and Bluetooth is powered and authorized. RSSI provides rough proximity guidance, not compass direction, GPS location, or calibrated distance. GATT inspection depends on a compatible, connectable peripheral and is not classic Bluetooth pairing or universal control for every product. Scan history, device naming and revisiting past discoveries are available without upgrading. Deep GATT inspection and radar finding each include one complimentary use. Advanced actions such as writing GATT characteristics and exporting CSV can be unlocked with a subscription.
