  • Is there a way to fetch Bluetooth device info?

    I'd recommend using a GUI Bluetooth explorer so you can see how your device represents its data. Here's one I found by Googling, and I can highly recommend the LightBlue app for iPhone. There, you can look for the "Battery Service" Service, 0x180F (may also appear as its UUID, 0000180f-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb), and its "Battery Level" Characteristic, 0x2A19 or 00002a19-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb. Characteristics are pieces of data within services.
  • Show HN: I reverse engineered the Bose iOS app and rebuilt it for Mac

    I don't take quite the same bearish view on this app.

    I suspect the "reverse engineering" here was just looking at Bluetooth LE GATT attributes and values, which you can just look at using something like Bluetility [1]. There appears to be some exemptions to DMCA for compatibility so long as the author didn't copy Bose' code, but IANAL. [2]

    The name I think is the more challenging part because it's very close - probably a C&D if it becomes popular to change the name.
