Bluetooth communication for web/mobile app

[madejm]

Hello, haven't been checking here for a while but I see a lot of great changes 😁

I'm extensively using my 4.3B controller on rehearsals and gigs, and while the LCD panel is very nice, I tend to use the web interface a lot. I use an iPad for music sheets while playing so having a small window with the web app open is just very conveniently in my hands reach. However what bothers me is that anytime I need to use the internet or change IEM monitoring I have to change Wi-Fi settings and then connect again to the Controller. On top of that iOS devices have this tendency to disconnect from a Wi-Fi network if it does not provide internet access.

This got me thinking – if a mobile device/laptop could pair with the controller via bluetooth, would the web app be able to communicate through that protocol? Assuming that the webpage is saved on the mobile device, or even better, wrapped into a standalone Android/iOS app?

Hi there, good to hear from you.
Bluetooth does have some IP transport ability, but I've never played with it. I'm not sure what is possible there.

Have you considere using Station mode? You could so something like have a small travel router, or a phone with a WiFi hotspot, and connect the iPad to that and also the Tonex Controller to that (in station mode.)
That would give you internet and Tonex control simultaneously. I do similar with mine, with it connected to my home WiFi network, and access it via my phone or PC.
I don't know if that helps for the IEM but it is something to consider.
