BLE2MQTT vs BLE Scanner & Gateway

Bluetooth Broadcast → MQTT, Easily Build a Soft Gateway This app turns your iOS device into a powerful Bluetooth gateway and debugging tool. It automatically captures broadcast data from surrounding Bluetooth devices, parses it according to custom or known protocols, and publishes the data via MQTT to your server or cloud platform. Core Features Broadcast Capture – Scan and receive broadcast packets from all detectable Bluetooth devices (e.g., beacons, sensors, IoT devices). MQTT Forwarding – Publish raw or parsed data to any MQTT Broker (supports TLS authentication and username/password). Protocol Parsing – Built-in common Bluetooth broadcast protocols (HW80x Heart Rate Armband, ZY Series Wristbands etc.) for automatic parsing and structured output. Debugging Tool – View raw broadcast data in real time (Hex/ASCII), with filtering, packet capture, and log export – ideal for Bluetooth device development and debugging. Soft Gateway Mode – Run continuously in the background (with proper authorization) to forward captured data to the cloud – no additional hardware gateway required. Use Cases Collect and upload Bluetooth device data in smart homes or industrial IoT. Verify and debug broadcast protocols during Bluetooth device development. Quickly prototype and test the Bluetooth → MQTT data link. Privacy & Permissions Bluetooth permission is needed for device scanning. Network permission is required for connecting to an MQTT Broker. No personally identifiable information is collected. All data is controlled by the user, stored and forwarded to the user’s own destination. Requirements iOS 13+ or iPadOS 13+ Device with Bluetooth 4.0+ You must configure your own MQTT Broker address and subscription rules Whether you are an IoT developer, a hobbyist, or a system integrator, this app allows you to achieve cloud connectivity for Bluetooth data at the lowest cost.

Bluetooth BLE 5.0 Scanner & Gateway Professional Bluetooth® Low Energy Scanner, Analyzer and Gateway Bridge Bluetooth BLE 5.0 Scanner & Gateway is a professional Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE 5.0+) scanner and gateway application that discovers nearby BLE sensors, beacons, tags and devices in real time. The app scans Bluetooth advertisements, decodes and analyzes the advertising data, identifies manufacturer-specific information and displays the results in a clear and user-friendly interface. Selected BLE advertisements can be securely forwarded to a predefined Bluetooth Gateway for cloud connectivity, monitoring and further processing. Designed for professional and industrial applications, the app is ideal for Supply Chain Management, Cold Chain Monitoring, Asset Tracking, Security Monitoring and Location & Identification solutions. It supports many leading BLE sensors used in pharmaceutical logistics, healthcare, industrial IoT and smart tracking environments. Whether you are testing BLE devices, validating beacon deployments or collecting sensor data for enterprise applications, Bluetooth BLE 5.0 Scanner & Gateway provides the tools needed to visualize, analyze and forward Bluetooth data efficiently. ________________________________________ Main Features • Scan nearby Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE 5.0+) devices in real time • Discover BLE sensors, beacons, asset tags and trackers • Support for iBeacon®, Eddystone® and Manufacturer Specific Advertisements • Decode BLE advertising packets into easy-to-read information • Display Manufacturer ID and Company Identifier • View complete raw advertisement data in both HEX and decoded formats • Search and filter devices by: • Device Name • MAC Address • Manufacturer • Company Identifier • Signal Strength (RSSI) • Adjustable scan interval and scan duration • Start, pause and stop scanning to optimize battery consumption • Display: • RSSI (Signal Strength) • Timestamp • Advertisement Interval • Manufacturer Data • Service UUIDs • Device Name • Device Type • Estimate proximity using RSSI measurements • Connect advertisements to a selected BLE Gateway • Forward BLE advertisements securely to cloud or enterprise systems • Store advertisement history for later analysis • View sensor information in clear tables and graphical dashboards • Real-time visualization of sensor activity • Early warning through trend analysis and graphical monitoring • Designed for professional BLE testing, diagnostics and deployment ________________________________________ Typical Applications • Supply Chain Monitoring • Pharmaceutical Logistics • Cold Chain Monitoring • BLE Sensor Testing • Asset Tracking • Inventory Management • Smart Warehousing • Security Monitoring • Environmental Monitoring • IoT Gateway Validation • Beacon Deployment • Industrial IoT • Predictive Maintenance • Location & Identification Solutions ________________________________________ Compatible Devices The app is compatible with Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE 5.0 and higher) devices, including many sensors, beacons and asset trackers from leading manufacturers. ________________________________________ Why Choose Bluetooth BLE 5.0 Scanner & Gateway?
