Some question #3

Closed marksev1 closed 8 years ago

marksev1 commented 8 years ago

Betree, do these leds make a "mesh-network" so that they communicated peer-to-peer between the leds and then to the controller? Or do they all just simply connect to a controller? Do they have a separate bridge or no?

How much range do you get out of them?

Betree commented 8 years ago

Hello Mark, the LEDs communicate directly with a controller (the smartphone) via a Bluetooth LE connection. They do not have a separate bridge.

I haven't tested much the range but signal is still ok 10m cross the walls.

Thanks for the answers!

Just one more thing is it possible to change the color of multiple bulbs at the same time?

Betree commented 8 years ago

In theory, yes. See this link about GATT.

However I haven't tried it as I only posses one of these bulb.

Thanks! On Adafruit I've also found this link: https://learn.adafruit.com/reverse-engineering-a-bluetooth-low-energy-light-bulb/explore-gatt
