Bluetooth streaming client
-
Could a Pythonista script connect via BT to an Echo Dot and play a sound stream?
-
No, that's not possible.

@omz , out of interest is any integration with echo or Google home possible. I have both. I am starting to use them all the time now. I favour the google home, but not important. These assistants are coming so fast now. And they are actually at a point where they are very useful. I know it may be a stupid question, I just thought it was worth asking. 1 year ago this would be a very stupid question, today I think not so much.
-
@omz Is it a Pythonista limitation or Apple rules that prevent this?
-
@ihf not sure which one it would be. The
cbmodule allows you to connect to "Bluetooth Low Energy Peripherals" (Bluetooth LE), but an Echo Dot definitely isn't an LE peripheral. You can, however, connect to small Bluetooth devices like a TI SensorTag.I don't have any clue if or when this functionality will be added.
