2016-02-12 13:10:55	@kido	I exchanged some emails with christian kandeler from the qt company who is working on qtbluetooth. he confirmed that we can use qtbluetooth to implement the server AND client sides of alert notifications
2016-02-12 13:11:24	locusf	cool
2016-02-12 13:12:11	@kido	but indeed it doesn't use the bluez5's dbus api for gatt server
2016-02-12 13:13:45	locusf	hmm ok
2016-02-12 13:13:50	locusf	I wonder how its done then
2016-02-12 13:15:19	@kido	in the QLowEnergy* classes they access the ATT channel with the controller functionalities that are implemented in the kernel side of bluez
2016-02-12 13:15:35	@kido	so it requires root but it also works with bluez4
2016-02-12 18:20:31	ibleedbinari	kido: Sorry if this is old, but Gadgetbridge was designed modularly, so the idea would be to have a AsteriodOS protocol, then implement that as a new device type in Gadgetbridge. Android Wear is similarly being added as a new protocol in the future.
2016-02-12 18:21:45	@kido	ibleedbinari: is there anything done with bluetooth le at the moment?
2016-02-12 18:24:10	ibleedbinari	Not that I know of yet, but I haven't had time to dig into the code deeply. It would help though if it was worked on/developed in Gadgetbridge so it benefits the other devices also.
2016-02-12 18:28:38	@kido	the second issue is that gadgetbridge only works with android, I would have liked to factorize code between different apps (eg with qtbluetooth and different backend) but well... gadgetbridge could be considered
2016-02-12 18:29:41	@kido	anyway I believe I will start with a desktop app and I will then move on to a sailfish app, then android and finaly if I ever get my hands on an iDevice...
2016-02-12 21:57:34	TheAppleMan	the initramfs has iproute2 but the rootfs doesn't :/ i guess i need to add all the wifi support packages for bass
2016-02-12 21:58:44	@kido	oh I didn't know bass had wifi
2016-02-12 21:59:03	@kido	iproute2 in the ramfs comes from busybox
2016-02-12 21:59:15	@kido	but we can easily add it to the asteroid-image
2016-02-12 22:01:13	TheAppleMan	i was under the impression the G Watch was one of the rare watches without wifi
2016-02-12 22:01:52	@kido	well all the low-end watches don't have wifi
