Well, basically that sounds good. They implement their own proprietary profile and provide a good documentation for it.
Nevertheless it would be a lot of work for us to implement for just one product (1-2 working days) which probably wouldn't be used by many. Maybe only you would buy it :-) Therefore, it would be much better if a standard profile could be used.
Thanks Bosti, I have received the email from the developer. Unfortunately the manufacturer of this temperature sensor is using a communication model that is not compatible to Run.GPS BLE integration. They are not using a connection or profile but send the temperature in a broadcast.
Run.GPS's BLE implementation is based on paired devices and profiles, so we cannot support this one. Perhaps the other company uses a different approach.
Yes I think Bluetooth 4 temperature sensors would make sense. Keep in mind however that you cannot mix sensor types: either you use only ANT+ sensors or only BT4 sensors.
The question about the BeeWi sensor is if it uses a standard BT4 profile. BT4 defines only a Health Thermometer Profile, but no other thermometer profile:
There is no information on the website if they use the standard profile HTP (which we could support) or a custom profile (which we would not like to support).
I bought new phone - Xperia Z1 compact which supports ant+ and also bluetooth4. My idea is to add temparature sensor. I did not buy garmin sensor, if Run.GPS would support it i would buy it :-)
What about bluetooth 4 temparature sensor? is it possibile to use it with run.GPS. For example: http://www.bee-wi.com/bbw200,us,4,BBW200-A1.cfm
