|
|
The functions in the ``devices`` namespace allow the @boardname@ to communicate with a separate (remote) device,
|
2016-06-21 07:06:19 +02:00
|
|
|
such as a smartphone, over Bluetooth (Smart).
|
2016-11-01 18:42:42 +01:00
|
|
|
The set of supported events will depend on the remote device and the @boardname@ apps available for the remote device.
