What is the difference between profile CTS(Current Time Service) and TIP(Time Profile)?

[Jason]

Hello All:

      I am working on the time service of NRF52.  As I know, there are two standard profiles refer to the time service, one is CTS(Current Time Service) and the other is TIP(Time Profile).

What is the difference between these two profiles?  And I found there is not TIP in the SDK, only CTS, Does that mean the TIP is not supported?

Hi

According to the specifications of these two GATTs, the CTS defines how a Bluetooth device can expose date and time information to other Bluetooth devices, while the TIP is used to obtain the date, time, and related information exposed by I.E. the CTS. Both are used in the Current time application example in our SDK, so both are supported.

Best regards,

Simon
