Matthias,

Thank you for the information and the link.

Does this also apply to non-LE applications?

Hi Chip

The client of an LE HID Device (HID-over-GATT), the HID Host, does not need to implement or advertise any services.
The HID Device can reconnect and send new notifications if needed.

Feel free to browse the specification: https://www.bluetooth.org/docman/handlers/downloaddoc.ashx?doc_id=245141

Cheers

Hello again,

I realize that this is an Apple specific list, but everyone here seems friendly enough that I think I can ask this more general question without being flamed...

Can someone please confirm or correct my understanding about making a connection with BT?

As I understand it, for two devices to be able to connect they must both have the same Service UUID (and Service Class UUID).

Say, for example, a BT keyboard.  Keyboards are usually handled under the HID group, so the keyboard must advertise that it supports HID and a keyboard. Likewise, on the other side of the connection, the other device needs to also have a identical UUID so that the two devices know that they can 'talk' on the same "port".

Did I read this right?

I presume there's no way around this requirement if the device that you want to connect the keyboard to does not advertise that capability...

Thank you,
