B4R Question Android, IOS communicate with WeMos Mini without wifi connection.

[dragonguy]

I have a project, need use android and ios (multiple mobile device) to communicate with ESP8266 in same time (only tranfer few bytes).
I choose the Bluetooth BLE but BLE didn't support multiple connections.

We didn't use wifi for connection because many older people not really know how to use their phone.

So any solution for this project?

You can use BLE without connecting: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/ble-hm-10-module-broadcasting-a-single-byte.65785/#content

So i can send data (just few bytes) from mobile phone to BLE device without connection?

Yes. You are sending the data in the advertising packet.

Is it using BLE Peripheral to advertising packet?

You need to use BLE manager in Android and iOS.

I assume that you want to send data from the ESP8266.

You haven't read the tutorial carefully. The B4R code is listed there.

Sorry, i mean mobile phone send data to esp8266.

You can use BlePeripheral to advertise data from an Android device, however you will need to implement a central BLE device on the ESP8266. I'm not sure whether it is possible to do it with HM 10 module.
