useBluetooth

Demo

Your browser does not support the Bluetooth Web API

Not Connected

Usage Default

vue

<script setup lang="ts">
import { useBluetooth } from '@vueuse/core'

const {
  isSupported,
  isConnected,
  device,
  requestDevice,
  server,
} = useBluetooth({
  acceptAllDevices: true,
})
</script>

<template>
  <button @click="requestDevice()">
    Request Bluetooth Device
  </button>
</template>

When the device has paired and is connected, you can then work with the server object as you wish.

Usage Battery Level Example

This sample illustrates the use of the Web Bluetooth API to read battery level and be notified of changes from a nearby Bluetooth Device advertising Battery information with Bluetooth Low Energy.

Here, we use the characteristicvaluechanged event listener to handle reading battery level characteristic value. This event listener will optionally handle upcoming notifications as well.

vue

<script setup lang="ts">
import { useBluetooth, useEventListener, watchPausable } from '@vueuse/core'

const {
  isSupported,
  isConnected,
  device,
  requestDevice,
  server,
} = useBluetooth({
  acceptAllDevices: true,
  optionalServices: [
    'battery_service',
  ],
})

const batteryPercent = ref<undefined | number>()

const isGettingBatteryLevels = ref(false)

async function getBatteryLevels() {
  isGettingBatteryLevels.value = true

  // Get the battery service:
  const batteryService = await server.getPrimaryService('battery_service')

  // Get the current battery level
  const batteryLevelCharacteristic = await batteryService.getCharacteristic(
    'battery_level',
  )

  // Listen to when characteristic value changes on `characteristicvaluechanged` event:
  useEventListener(batteryLevelCharacteristic, 'characteristicvaluechanged', (event) => {
    batteryPercent.value = event.target.value.getUint8(0)
  }, { passive: true })

  // Convert received buffer to number:
  const batteryLevel = await batteryLevelCharacteristic.readValue()

  batteryPercent.value = await batteryLevel.getUint8(0)
}

const { stop } = watchPausable(isConnected, (newIsConnected) => {
  if (!newIsConnected || !server.value || isGettingBatteryLevels.value)
    return
  // Attempt to get the battery levels of the device:
  getBatteryLevels()
  // We only want to run this on the initial connection, as we will use an event listener to handle updates:
  stop()
})
</script>

<template>
  <button @click="requestDevice()">
    Request Bluetooth Device
  </button>
</template>
