What's all that hype about BLE?
summary
Builds a working WunderBar SDK that connects six BLE sensors to a cloud via a Wi‑Fi master module and demonstrates direct device control by wiring a sensor to an Ikea desk to move it up and down. Explains Android stack history (BlueZ → BlueDroid), that BLE advertising is only possible since Lollipop, and tradeoffs made to support iOS. Covers pairing, bonding and encryption so connections resume without re‑pairing and how BLE yields months or years of battery life.
