The following Bluetooth solutions apply to app development.

Bluetooth type Description Example of smart devices
Bluetooth Low Energy (LE) A point-to-point connection is created between a Bluetooth or Bluetooth LE device and a mobile phone. Body fat scales, wrist-worn trackers, thermostats, electric toothbrushes, and smart locks.
Bluetooth mesh Enable many-to-many (m:m) device communications over a mesh network released by Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG). Cool white lights (C), cool and warm white lights (CW), white and colored lights (RGBCW), sockets, sensors, and other sub-devices.
Tuya mesh Tuya’s proprietary technology that enables Bluetooth devices to communicate over a mesh network. Similar to the products that use Bluetooth mesh, but with Tuya mesh.
Combo devices The devices that support Bluetooth and Wi-Fi combo can be paired over either Bluetooth or Wi-Fi. Bluetooth mesh gateways, IP cameras (IPCs), and devices that support Bluetooth and Wi-Fi combo.

In this case, Bluetooth LE technology is used when combo devices are paired over Bluetooth. For more information, see Pair combo devices.

Functional description

The following Bluetooth features are supported:

  • Device pairing
    • Scan and discover devices.
    • Pair devices.
  • Device management
    • Check the current device networking status.
    • Connect to devices.
    • Operate and remotely control devices.
    • Unbind devices.

    • Update firmware over the air.

Permissions

In iOS 13, Apple has replaced the original field NSBluetoothPeripheralUsageDescription that is used to request Bluetooth permissions with the field NSBluetoothAlwaysUsageDescription. The new field is added to info.plist.

<key>NSBluetoothAlwaysUsageDescription</key>
    <string></string>

<key>NSBluetoothPeripheralUsageDescription</key>
    <string></string>

Compatibility with iOS 12

For iOS 12, [[ThingSmartActivator sharedInstance] currentWifiSSID] cannot return a valid Wi-Fi service set identifier (SSID).

To query Wi-Fi information in Xcode 10, certain permissions are required. Set Access Wi-Fi Information to ON at Xcode > [Project Name] > Targets > [Target Name] > Capabilities.

// Called at the end of pairing.
[[ThingSmartBLEWifiActivator sharedInstance] stopDiscover];

Swift:

// Called at the end of pairing.
ThingSmartBLEWifiActivator.sharedInstance() .stopDiscover

Pair over Bluetooth due to unavailable Wi-Fi

Certain combo devices support pairing over Bluetooth if Wi-Fi connections are unavailable. In case a combo device cannot connect to a Wi-Fi router or the target router cannot connect to the internet, the device can be paired as a Bluetooth device. This method provides the channel to pair the device over Bluetooth.

The bleType field of ThingBLEAdvModel can be used to check whether a combo device supports pairing over Bluetooth if Wi-Fi connections are unavailable. If the value is ThingSmartBLETypeBLEWifiPlugPlay or ThingSmartBLETypeBLEWifiPriorBLE, the device supports this capability. Otherwise, it does not support this capability.

API description

/**
 * The channel to pair the combo device over Bluetooth.
 */
- (void)activatorDualDeviceWithBleChannel:(ThingBLEAdvModel *)advModel
                                   homeId:(long long)homeId
                                    token:(NSString *)token
                                  success:(void(^)(ThingSmartDeviceModel *deviceModel))success
                                  failure:(ThingFailureError)failure;

Parameters

Parameter Description
advModel The information model of the device. It is the result returned by the scanning delegate method.
homeId The home ID.
token The pairing token.
success The success callback.
failure The failure callback.

Example

Objective-C:

[[ThingSmartBLEManager sharedInstance] activatorDualDeviceWithBleChannel:advModel homeId:homeId token:token success:^(ThingSmartDeviceModel * _Nonnull device) {
                    // The device is paired.
    } failure:^(NSError *error) {
                    // Failed to pair the device.
    }];

Swift:

ThingSmartBLEManager.sharedInstance().activatorDualDevice(withBleChannel: advModel, homeId: homeId, token: token) { (ThingSmartDeviceModel) in
            // The device is paired.
        } failure: { (Error?) in
            // Failed to pair the device.
        }

Pass in the substring [token substringWithRange:NSMakeRange(2, 8)] of the returned token value. Otherwise, an error message will be returned to indicate that the length of the token string exceeds the upper limit.

Activate a combo device paired over Bluetooth in the cloud

Activates a combo device paired over Bluetooth in the cloud through a Wi-Fi channel.

In this call, the device must be connected to the app over Bluetooth. The wifiEnable field of deviceModel.meta indicates whether the device is activated in the cloud. The default value false indicates that the Wi-Fi channel of the device is not activated.

    } failure:^(NSError *error) {
                    // Failed to activate the device in the cloud.
    }];

Swift:

ThingSmartBLEManager.sharedInstance().activeDualDeviceWifiChannel(devId, ssid: ssid, password: password, timeout: timeout) { (ThingSmartDeviceModel) in
            // The device is activated in the cloud.
        } failure: { (Error?) in
            // Failed to activate the device in the cloud.
        }

Optimize pairing of combo devices

In the optimized pairing solution, users connect the device with the app first. Then, access the device on the app and scan for available Wi-Fi networks. Only compatible Wi-Fi networks are discovered. This way, the unsupported 5 GHz Wi-Fi networks are automatically filtered out. Users do not need to manually handle them and can enjoy a higher success rate of pairing.

Prerequisites

The baseline version of the firmware built into the target device must be v3.6.1 or later.
