Smart Sensor battery status

[DF130]

@Mauerwegler There are free apps to find/list/connect to BT devices in the range of the phone, which also report battery levels for the SmartSensor.

That is the one I found yesterday as well that looked good (many apps help to find the Bluetooth device, not necessarily to show its properties), but it needs iOS 17. Any other recommendations for iOS 16?

@Mauerwegler I used that one: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/lightblue/id557428110

@Miš-Kan Ah, thanks! That was the other one I also had found yesterday, but then could not find anymore later! Just remembered the fist logo but it did not show up again in my searches. I see that in this forum we seem to find and prefer the same apps, that is a good sign that our swarm intelligence is working.

@Miš-Kan That is the one I actually use as well !

@DF130 But the one @Egika mentioned or also https://apps.apple.com/de/app/nrf-toolbox/id820906058 (never tried, just found when searching recently) might be slightly better in terms of data protection.

Just for people’s information - the Android version (from the ‘Play’ Store, also works pretty well!

@Swaddy61 can you share android link to avoid confusion?

So far I’ve used Bluetooth Baterry on Android https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.infraware.BluetoothBattery

Want to compare if I get same results or no
Thx

@Swaddy61 And on further testing, I discover that nRF Toolbox doesn’t show the battery level of my Polar H10 belt. Polar Flow does. (Polar Flow is good for some other interesting little functions too!)

Will try Bluetooth Battery App and report back!

I use it and it works, both battery % and bpm are displayed

[Swaddy61]

@robis Is that with the Android, or IoS version? With the Android version I only get the BPM (but not as accurate as with Polar Flow) using my Polar H10, not the battery level.

The Bluetooth Battery App shows the battery level of the H10, and of my SV interestingly! I have not tested my Suunto Smart Belt with this yet (have to dig it out and fit a new battery).

@Swaddy61 iOS, sorry
