VueUseuseBluetooth
Reactive Web Bluetooth API. Provides the ability to connect and interact with Bluetooth Low Energy peripherals.
The Web Bluetooth API lets websites discover and communicate with devices over the Bluetooth 4 wireless standard using the Generic Attribute Profile (GATT).
N.B. It is currently partially implemented in Android M, Chrome OS, Mac, and Windows 10. For a full overview of browser compatibility please see Web Bluetooth API Browser Compatibility
N.B. There are a number of caveats to be aware of with the web bluetooth API specification. Please refer to the Web Bluetooth W3C Draft Report for numerous caveats around device detection and connection.
N.B. This API is not available in Web Workers (not exposed via WorkerNavigator).

Usage Default
ts
import { useBluetooth } from '@vueuse/core'
const {
isSupported,
isConnected,
device,
requestDevice,
server,
} = useBluetooth({
acceptAllDevices: true,
})
import { useBluetooth } from '@vueuse/core'
const {
isSupported,
isConnected,
device,
requestDevice,
server,
} = useBluetooth({
acceptAllDevices: true,
})
vue
<template>
<button @click="requestDevice()">
Request Bluetooth Device
</button>
</template>
<template>
<button @click="requestDevice()">
Request Bluetooth Device
</button>
</template>
When the device has paired and is connected, you can then work with the server object as you wish.
Usage Battery Level Example
This sample illustrates the use of the Web Bluetooth API to read battery level and be notified of changes from a nearby Bluetooth Device advertising Battery information with Bluetooth Low Energy.
Here, we use the characteristicvaluechanged event listener to handle reading battery level characteristic value. This event listener will optionally handle upcoming notifications as well.
ts
import { pausableWatch, useBluetooth } from '@vueuse/core'
const {
isSupported,
isConnected,
device,
requestDevice,
server,
} = useBluetooth({
acceptAllDevices: true,
optionalServices: [
'battery_service',
],
})
const batteryPercent = ref<undefined | number>()
const isGettingBatteryLevels = ref(false)
const getBatteryLevels = async () => {
isGettingBatteryLevels.value = true
// Get the battery service:
const batteryService = await server.getPrimaryService('battery_service')
// Get the current battery level
const batteryLevelCharacteristic = await batteryService.getCharacteristic(
'battery_level',
)
// Listen to when characteristic value changes on `characteristicvaluechanged` event:
batteryLevelCharacteristic.addEventListener('characteristicvaluechanged', (event) => {
batteryPercent.value = event.target.value.getUint8(0)
})
// Convert received buffer to number:
const batteryLevel = await batteryLevelCharacteristic.readValue()
batteryPercent.value = await batteryLevel.getUint8(0)
}
const { stop } = pausableWatch(isConnected, (newIsConnected) => {
if (!newIsConnected || !server.value || isGettingBatteryLevels.value)
return
// Attempt to get the battery levels of the device:
getBatteryLevels()
// We only want to run this on the initial connection, as we will use a event listener to handle updates:
stop()
})
import { pausableWatch, useBluetooth } from '@vueuse/core'
const {
isSupported,
isConnected,
device,
requestDevice,
server,
} = useBluetooth({
acceptAllDevices: true,
optionalServices: [
'battery_service',
],
})
const batteryPercent = ref<undefined | number>()
const isGettingBatteryLevels = ref(false)
const getBatteryLevels = async () => {
isGettingBatteryLevels.value = true
// Get the battery service:
const batteryService = await server.getPrimaryService('battery_service')
// Get the current battery level
const batteryLevelCharacteristic = await batteryService.getCharacteristic(
'battery_level',
)
// Listen to when characteristic value changes on `characteristicvaluechanged` event:
batteryLevelCharacteristic.addEventListener('characteristicvaluechanged', (event) => {
batteryPercent.value = event.target.value.getUint8(0)
})
// Convert received buffer to number:
const batteryLevel = await batteryLevelCharacteristic.readValue()
batteryPercent.value = await batteryLevel.getUint8(0)
}
const { stop } = pausableWatch(isConnected, (newIsConnected) => {
if (!newIsConnected || !server.value || isGettingBatteryLevels.value)
return
// Attempt to get the battery levels of the device:
getBatteryLevels()
// We only want to run this on the initial connection, as we will use a event listener to handle updates:
stop()
