Description

Bluetooth mesh is a new Bluetooth® technology which was released in 2017. It allows secure networks of tens of thousands of Bluetooth devices to be created and truly smart, self-optimising buildings to be created, with sensors, lights, air-conditioning units and more, all working wirelessly and automatically together.

Bluetooth mesh networks and the devices they contain need to be monitored and controlled, sometimes by humans using a GUI application.

This session will explain how smartphone apps can be developed for this purpose.

Martin Woolley works for the Bluetooth SIG, the technical standards body for Bluetooth. He’s an industry veteran with over 30 years’ experience working with computers large, small and ….. getting smaller. He still has a Sinclair ZX81 somewhere.

When Martin first discovered Bluetooth low energy it struck him as a phenomenally useful and developer-friendly technology and a perfect fit for this age of the Internet of Things. Bluetooth mesh networking will take this to the next level.
