Detailed Description

The BluetoothLEDevice component acts as the entry point for Bluetooth Low Energy (LE) integration, used to collect information about the device itself, as well as to collect information about and substantiate the next tier, BluetoothLEService.

Bluetooth LE devices use a heirarchical data structure, with four possible tiers: The device, services, characteristics, and descriptors. The components for these tiers can only be instantiated by the tier above it.

"GATT Profile Hierarchy"

This code sample demonstrates a potential usage of BluetoothLEDevice, using the AppFramework's Bluetooth LE integration to connect to a proprietary fitness device. This sample demonstrates how to detect a known service, characteristic and descriptor. The returned values can't be read; these values are proprietary information.
