  • bluetooth-serial-port

    multi-platform bluetooth serial port library for C++

  • Bt SPP protocol is quiet universal and you can use it for whatever you want. It's just like normal serial line. You can transfer files, control something, etc... I found this library https://github.com/Agamnentzar/bluetooth-serial-port maybe it'll be helpful for you.

  • win-bluetooth

    A set of modern c++ classes for using bluetooth on windows

  • You basically have two options here - either use a library (like this one), or directly interface with the operating system's underlying API (usually Winsock2 in the case of Windows).

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • terminal

    Cross-platform network communication software (by NSTerminal)

Instead, I suggest taking a look at the Network Socket Terminal source code (Disclosure: I'm the author of the software). Specifically, these sections:
