As it is today, the RemoteDeviceHelper.readRSSI-method requires a connection to be established first. This gives the problem that you need to scan for services on the device that accepts connections and when creating the connection, the challenge-response process is initiated which requires the devices to exchange pins manually. In addition this is a time consuming process if you have scanned many devices and is really just interested in their RSSI values. It would be really nice if you could get this information in the inquiry phase instead.

Is there something you can do as a workaround today e.g. is there a serviceUUID that never initiates the challenge-response i.e. no authentication or other means using BlueCove?

What BlueCove version are you using (include build number for SNAPSHOT)? 2.1.1-Snapshot (59) On what operating system and jvm? Is this 64-bit or 32-bit OS and jvm? Windows XO 32-bit 1.6.0_13

Thanks in advance, Nicolai Schou

Hello Nicolai,

Are there any available solution for reading RSSI without authentication with BlueCove now?

Hi Khuong

Unfortunately, I have not found a solution.
