Virtual methods

– profileDiscovered:

Called when a BLE profile is discovered.

- (void)profileDiscovered:(BleProfile *)profile

Discussion

This method can be overridden to notify a subclass when a new BLE profile is discovered. After a profile is discovered, it should then be validated.

Delegate

  delegate

The PTDBleDeviceDelegate delegate object for the device. Set your class as the delegate to receive messages and responses from the device.

@property (nonatomic, weak) id<PTDBleDeviceDelegate> delegate

PTDBleDevice.h

Identifying a Device

  identifier

The UUID of the CoreBluetooth peripheral associated with the Device. This is not guaranteed to be the same between different devices. If a bluetooth cache is cleared, this UUID is not guaranteed to stay the same. For more info, refer to the Apple identifier documentation

@property (nonatomic, readonly) NSUUID *identifier

Declared In

PTDBleDevice.h

  name

The Device’s name. For more info, refer to the Apple name documentation

@property (nonatomic, readonly) NSString *name

Declared In

PTDBleDevice.h

  lastDiscovered

Represents last time this device was discovered while scanning.

@property (nonatomic, readonly) NSDate *lastDiscovered

Declared In

PTDBleDevice.h

  advertisementData

Bluetooth LE advertising data. A dictionary containing CBAdvertisementDataLocalNameKey

@property (nonatomic, readonly) NSDictionary *advertisementData

Declared In

PTDBleDevice.h

Monitoring a Device's Connection State

  state

The current connection state of the Device. See PTDBleDeviceState for more details.

@property (nonatomic, readonly) PTDBleDeviceState state

Discussion

if (device.state == PTDBleDeviceState_Discovered) { NSLog(@“Device discovered, try connecting”); } else if (device.state == PTDBleDeviceState_ConnectedAndValidated) { NSLog(@“Device connected, try calling an API”); }

Declared In

PTDBleDevice.h

Accessing a Device's Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) Data

– readRSSI

Requests the Device’s current RSSI.

- (void)readRSSI

Discussion

When you call this method to read the Device’s RSSI, the device calls the [PTDBleDeviceDelegate deviceDidUpdateRSSI:error:] method of its delegate object. If the Device’s RSSI is successfully retrieved, you can access it through the Device’s RSSI property.
