nRFConnect for iPhone - Battery Level Service and Hex Values

[webzoid]

I've implemented a Battery Service and battery_level characteristic in my application (0x180F and 0x2A19 respectively) however, when reading the value of this characteristic in nRFConnect for iPhone, the battery_level is reported as a hex value and not a percentage as expected.

Likewise, all values are reported as a hex number. For example, the Device Information service - serial number, manufacturer, etc are all reported as ASCII hex characters.

Is there any way to get around this and display the correct data type for the characteristic?

Hi,

Unfortunately, it is only possible to see the value in HEX at the moment. But it might be added in the future.

Is there a "feature request" area for the nRFConnect app? It'd be nice if it supported data formats as per the GATT spec.

You can put in a request on GitHub. But the developer is already aware of this feature, and will try to implement this at some point.
