Pairing Samsung Gear S2 with iBeacon

Question

I would like to make a connection between my Gear S2 and iBeacon directly through the BLE Network. I have seen there are Bluetooth API available in the SDK from Tizen.But i havent went throught it in detail. I would just like to know if this idea is possible or have anyone have successfully made this happen.

There is a master mode in he watch to scan for BT_Headset. can i modify this application to achieve my goal?

Thank you.

Answer 1

In a native service app, I have been able to use bt_adapter_le_start_scan and parse the bytes provided in adv_data in the bt_adapter_le_device_scan_result_info_s parameter provided in the scan callback to determine the presence of an iBeacon device.

Unfortunately, at this time Tizen is only providing "connectable" devices in the BLE scan callback. In my situation, this means that the beacon has been put into configurable mode (in order to configure the broadcast iBeacon values, power, advertising interval). And configurable mode times out after a certain (short) amount of time. Therefore, iBeacon detection on Tizen is currently infeasible for my purposes.
