Bluetooth LE without smartphones

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC2541, CC2540

Hello, I am not sure this is the correct place to ask my question, but, this is where your site directed me.

Question:

Is there a microcontroller that will allow Bluetooth LE communication without the use of a smartphone? I am looking for a solution to have a BLE iBeacon tag know when another BLE iBeacon tag comes in range. For instance, a BLE TV remote comes within range of the front door BLE iBeacon and then turns on the light on the front porch without a iPhone, iPad, or Android smartphone present.

Thank you,
Andy

    Sure, the CC2540 and CC2541 can be both central and peripheral or broadcaster or observer. So yes, you can easily set up BLE communication between two BLE microcontrollers.

    Cheers,

    fredrik,

    cc2540 can be both central and peripheral,

    i have read in a article that at a time it cant act as both central and peripheral. for peripheral role and central role we have separate software.

    with peripheral software the ble device acts as a peripheral.

    with central software it acts as central.

    is it correct.

    please explain me

    thank you.

    regards

    kiran.
