How to add custom UUIDs definitions in nRF Connect for Mobile?

[zpm1066]

Hello,

In nRF Connect for Mobile, custom UUIDs show up as unknown, making it difficult to identify them easily.

Is there a way to add custom UUIDs, as can be done for example, on a Mac by adding the custom UUIDs to the "uuid_definitions.json" (located in folder /Users/username/Library/Application\ Support/nrfconnect)?

If not, How do I request an enhancement to nRF Connect for Mobile?

Thank you.

Hello,

Yes, and I've had a talk with the team responsible. I believe everything now should be in order.

This would help to complete the project and would be quite useful to existing and new Thingy:53 customers.

Excellent point. With everything mentioned there now added, this would make for a better customer experience. Have you had a chance to check it out?

Hi Elfving,

Thank you so much in reaching out to the nRF Connect for Mobile team and requesting the changes.

I can now see the names for the sensor characteristics when connecting to Thingy53 using the nRF Connect for mobile. 

All names are in except for IAQ that Is still showing as "Unknown Characteristic".

Could you please ask the nRF Connect dev team to add the entry for IAQ as well? Thank you.

Once again, I very much appreciate your assistance to get the changes in. They certainly improve the Thingy53 customer experience.

Hi Elfving,

The nRF5340 sensor hub IAQ Is showing as "Unknown Characteristic".  Could you please ask the nRF Connect for mobile team to add an entry for it? Thanks.
