In this exercise we use the ERF Connect mobile application to connect to the Bluetooth - SoC Thermometer example application. This application is available from the AppStore or GooglePlay,
Open EFR Connect. On opening it defaults to the Develop view, switch to Demo view (1).
Select the Health Thermometer icon (2).
The application will now start scanning for peripheral devices which are advertising the Health Thermometer Service and display the device name. It is worth mentioning that iOS has a quirk. If iOS has previously connected to a device it uses the Device Name read from the GATT, not the name contained in the advertisement. Keep this in mind if you are not seeing the name expected. Requesting iOS "Forget Device" does remove bonding information, but not the Device Name. Select the listed device.
This will connect to the peripheral and will request indications of the Temperature characteristic. The peripheral will periodically send indications. Some radio boards include a humidity / temperature sensor and will send real measurements, others simulate data.
