Getting into Physical web with React of Things

on YouTube ↗30m

" summary

Shows how React Native apps actually talk to Bluetooth Low Energy devices: scanning Eddystone URL broadcasts and iBeacon major/minor proximity to map physical position, then using react-native-ble-plx to connect, discover services, and write base64 RGB commands to an LED bulb. Demo alternates worked and failed (URL broadcast notification failed; proximity switching between two XY tracker beacons succeeds to centimeter-level). Includes code steps: request permissions, getCurrentPosition, startRanging, addListener, scan -> connect -> discover -> write.
