How to launch Siri from nrf51?

Alright, I have searched high and low and been unable to find a simple answer to this question. It must be possible for the nrf51 to launch Siri on an iPhone, I have seen product using it mention this as a feature. But I cannot find out the way to do it.

Anyone know how? Is it a special HID media key? Or some other profile? All I want to do is launch Siri, not interact with it, so the equivalent of holding the iPhone home button.

  • Well there is one - the HFP extension is documented for this - however HFP isn't available over BLE as far as I know, only BR/EDR. Since the device looks like it's BLE, the only other option I could come up with is that it's both, it does most work over BLE and uses BR/EDR for HFP or other services which require it.

    Unless there's a BLE-available service on iOS which enables Siri, and I've never found one, a dual mode chipset is all I could come up with for being low energy and also able to support HFP
