As of now Cubeast Connect is not supported by Cubeast.
Cubeast Connect is a Bluetooth proxy for Windows, MacOS and Linux. It uses system native Bluetooth API to provide a Websocket API to connect to Bluetooth devices. This allows Cubeast to connect to Bluetooth devices without having to depend on browser's Web Bluetooth API. This solves 2 major issues with Web Bluetooth API:
- Web Bluetooth API is not supported in all browsers - would allow Cubeast to work in all browsers
- Web Bluetooth feature set is limited - would allow Cubeast to, among others: connect to cubes automatically when the app starts and easily connect to Gan cubes
Currently the app exposes a Websocket API on port 17430. Example of an exchange:
