Creating IoT Applications with Web Bluetooth

on YouTube ↗45m

" summary

Web Bluetooth demonstrably connects browsers to real hardware: the web Bluetooth API discovers and GATT-connects devices over HTTPS with a user permission dialog, streams live accelerometer notifications, and sends control writes to drive a small motor vehicle. Bluetooth scale and reach are concrete — 10 million devices ship every day and Bluetooth mesh lets a browser talk to many nodes via a proxy, shown in a 64-device mesh demo — though adoption remains Chrome‑centric and not yet a W3C standard.
