Action available for the following operating systems:

Parameters

Targets

• Address String <string> - Address for BLE Device

• Timeout (ms) <numeric> - Value in Milliseconds

• Target for Name <unquoted string> - The control or variable where the name of the discovered device will be stored.

Many Bluetooth LE devices do not return this value.

On iOS, Apple assigns a virtual MAC address to Bluetooth Low Energy devices, so you cannot use the real MAC Address. First you need to use Bluetooth LE Start Scanning to list bluetooth low energy devices, and retrieve the assigned MAC address for the device you want. Then you can use that MAC address to connect to the device.
