Connecting to an Unknown Bluetooth Low Energy (.0) Device via Bluetooth Relay In many cases, Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) manufacturers & developers encode a custom Bluetooth profile inside their BLE devices that is not recognizable by the Cassia Hub, unless the profile has been integrated into the Hub. In this scenario, the Cassia Hub is limited to connecting and passing through control of a BLE device to its Native App where only one device can be controlled at a time. We call this mode Bluetooth Relay. In order to connect and control these types of devices, users must do the following: Tap on Relay Turn on Bluetooth Relay Mode Searching for Devices Tap to connect to Device 5 Device Connected Important: Only one device can be controlled at a time in Bluetooth Relay Mode. Turn off when not using! Connecting to a Device using Bluetooth Relay Continued Once your BLE device is connected to the Hub using the Cassia App, please proceed as follows:. Place the BLE device out of standard Bluetooth range of your phone (E.g. at least 50 feet). Stand next to the Hub with your phone to pair to the relayed signal coming from your Hub. Open your BLE device s native app. Follow your Device s native app for device pairing instructions Note: In some cases the App may see two device names, which means that your BLE device is still in range of your phone app. Continue moving the device away from your phone, until you only see one Device name available for pairing. Then, proceed to pair with the one device. Important: BLE devices that require a pairing pin or security pin do not currently work with the Cassia Hub.
