Using Bluetooth devices with Holo

Hello,

I am trying to figure out if apps can use paired Bluetooth enabled devices that support GATT profile(s). From documentation it looks like pairing devices with HID/GATT profiles is supported but there are limitations.
I am thinking about devices without audio/file transfer capabilities such as heart rate and blood pressure monitors, thermometers, battery services, etc.. Will those devices pair to Holo and be accessible from UWP app?

  • Devices with HID/GATT profiles can be paired. For devices that have specific capabilities, like pedometers, it would need a specific app to make sense of the Bluetooth accessories inputs. You can test this with any Windows 10 device too -- Phone and tablets will behave the same way.

  • Great!
