BLE HID device is not visible in my TV

[RATHOR AJAY]

Hi,

I have used nrf5_SDK//examples/ble_peripheral/ble_app_hids_keyboard & ble_app_hids_mouse  both examples with my nrf52840-DK this device is visible in my mobile and laptop both, but when i am trying to connect it with my smart TV or Fire-stick, it is not visible over there, Why?

And when i have make device as a game-pad using one source code on git, then we are able to get device visible in all mobile, laptop and TV( or fire-stick) as game-pad profile. So my question is that, Is i am able to connect my NRF52840 device with TV with HID profile? or it will only connect with Gamepad profile devices?

Do anyone have solution to my my device visible in TV or Fire-stick as HID device profile. I am using the latest smart tv's and also tried in latest fire-stick.

Hello,

Maybe someone in the community have some pointers, not tested this myself, unless someone knows, it could be a good start to look at the advertisment configuration and content of working vs. non-working as a starting point for modification. Be aware that for new development you should be using the nRF Connect SDK (not nRF5 SDK).

Hi Kenneth,

thanks for your reply,

I have tried example of NRF Connect SDK also (ncs/v2.6.0/zephyr/samples/bluetooth/peripheral_hids/). But getting same issue in zephyr also my device was not visible in TV & Fire-stick.

I have gone through advertising configurations and try to change some configurations accordingly, but facing same issue. Device is not visible in TV or Fire-stick. Can you please check for this...?

Hello,

I don't have a fire-stick, I suggest next step is to use an on-air sniffer for better comparison:
