Bluetooth Alerts

Bluetooth Alerts allow instant push notifications for nearby devices, direct to mobile phones and tablets.

Bluetooth Alerts are only available for the ICE-2L at this time.

How do Bluetooth Alerts work?

Bluetooth alerts work entirely offline, although they do require that the mobile phone/tablet and the device stay within Bluetooth range (~15 feet) at all times.

The Bluetooth alert service causes additional battery drain on the mobile device. It is recommended to turn off Bluetooth alerts when not in use.

Bluetooth alerts initialize a foreground service on your mobile device, allowing the app to run while minimized or in the background. When a nearby ICE-2L has an issue, the app is immediately able to send a local notification.

How to Enable Bluetooth Alerts?
  • Register a local Bluetooth device on the Dashboard. See the Bluetooth Devices section for more information.
  • On the alert settings page, tap the Bluetooth Alerts switch to enable.
  • If permissions have not been granted a dialog will appear, tap "Allow" to enable.
  • Navigate to the Device manager, and select the device to listen to.
Android

On Android, there will be a persistent, silent notification in the notification bar. This is indicates that the service is running, and will report how many devices are actively being monitored.

Android requires additional user action to enable full Bluetooth alerts. When enabling alerts, a dialog will appear with instructions for how to disable battery Optimization for BloodCOMM. While this is optional, there is a chance that the operating system will stop the app if battery optimization is enabled.

 
iOS

On iOS devices, the app will send a single notification when the service is started.

There is not a clear indication if the service is still running on the iOS platform. If you are not using the foreground service, it is recommended to disable Bluetooth Alerts to save battery life.
