An open source Bluetooth controller application for mobile devices.

Clarify project purpose

It would be worth clarifying the purpose of the project in the readme and adding examples of use cases.

I came across this project looking for something to turn my phone into a xinput controller that I could use over bluetooth or usb with windows and linux devices.

As far as I can tell, this app cannot do that, as it only acts as an input device for hardware BLE devices and arduinos, and cannot connect to computers. Is this accurate?

[FR] sort devices by signal strength when scanning

otherwise it's hard to find the one among many.
Also scan is quite fast, should be a little longer (or tunable)

Having no idea about the usage/target users of this App

What Bluetooth profile is this controller based on? What type of command makes sense? Please add more descriptions in your App.

I was trying to find an App that sends certain byte sequences to the Bluetooth-Serial converter which replaces the air conditioner’s Wifi module. I‘m new to Java and Android programming and don’t know about React Native. It seems like I have to to create an App myself.

Can you make a receiver app? Have it compatible with automate?

Or have it control the other device.

Cannot set Characteristic per Control Element

As the title says: From my point of view it doesn't make much sense to select the characteristic for all elements in a controller, so please make this settable per element. Otherwise this seems to be the only app of this kind that I found which actually supports the typical BLE concepts (GATT, ...), so keep it up!
