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.

  • Ok, I got the device and the results are... inconclusive.

    This device does not use Bluetooth LE, it is most certainly a classic Bluetooth device. The chipset inside is this: www.broadcom.com/.../bcm20730

    Now, I am still not convinced that the nrf51 won't work. This is a HID device, so it should be possible to mimic this with HID over GATT. When my iPhone first detected this button, for the briefest of moments it showed up as a generic keyboard.

    I will keep trying different HID keys, that must be the answer...
