embeded blue - just detect device

Aaron Wall

It is possible to use the embedded blue module to notify a stamp when a certain bluetooth device is within detectable range?
Without any action required by the device being detected.
No need for data transfer, just for the stamp to know when that device is near by.

The stamp will have to ask the embedded blue device what devices are within range.
Look at the command:
List Visible Devices
The list visible devices command returns a listing of all the devices that are currently in range and
visible. The command may be canceled before the timeout is reached by sending an additional
carriage-return to the module.
Syntax
lst visible [noparse][[/noparse]timeout]<CR>
Parameters
timeout An optional parameter used to abort the list request after the specified
number of seconds. The default value is 30. The maximum value is 120
seconds.
Returns
The addresses of the Bluetooth devices that are in range and visible.
Example
>lst visible<CR>
ACK<CR>
00:0C:84:00:05:29<CR>
00:80:C8:35:2C:B8<CR>
