Can a peripheral device read the device name of the smartphone (central device) that is connected to it

[Arthur_Melkumov]

I develop the peripheral BLE device. I need to read the complete local name of the smartphone, which connected to the peripheral. Is it possible?

Hi

Please check out this thread, where my colleague Vidar suggests a way to discover and read the device name from the connected phone.

Does it mean that for read characteristics of the smartphone - the peripheral device should become a central for the time? And after these operations, it should back to peripheral?

Hi Arthur

Yes, your peripheral will need to be set as a central in order to do discovery, and the phone will only advertise its device name while it is advertising.
