Wishlist for software support (AMS001/AMS002) Bluetooth Master/Slave Service mode typical scenarios:

Dear ACKme,

I have questions for "Q1/2015comming"/or for "future" software usability of your BT modules for following TWO scenarios:

Scenario one:

Let imagine following Bluetooth enabled setup for at least THREE devices:

• Device 1: water boiler heater (internal PID reglation) with BlueTooth AMS001/AMS002 internal Module. Obviously due to the safety reasosns, Device 1 must be connected DIRECTLY to Device 2.
• Device 2: Stupid/Simple Temperature sensor , BlueTooth OEM modul sensing water temperature (always 3-rd party product!)
• Device 3: Super mega Android/Apple phone device with OEM Bluetooth internal modle Obviously this application is only bonus, having acces to log files of temperatures, etc. This application will of-course NEVER contains PID regulation loop to maintain warm/cold water. Connection between Device 3 and Device 1 should be initiated from Device 3 side, because Device 1 is bussy/without any UX/HW buttons/without Display...

Another Example: Device 1 = Spinning bicycle (must STOP (safety!!!), if heart-beat rate exceeds XXX)

Device 2 = External 3rd-party Heart Pulse meter (heart-beat rate)

Device 3 = iPhone7 (Log file, Graphics, Facebook, TOP10 results-charts (driven-duration minutes/km/fastest rpm) etc.)

Question: - will be in new service-firmware-update, which are targeted to be available Q1/2015 , some solution for this Scenario available???

Scenario Two:

Device 1: spinning Bike Alpha equipped with BlueTooth AMS001/AMS002 internal Module.

Device 2: spinning Bike Beta equipped with BlueTooth AMS001/AMS002 internal Module.

Device 3: spinning Bike Gamma equipped with BlueTooth AMS001/AMS002 internal Module.

........

Device X: spinning Bike Omega equipped with BlueTooth AMS001/AMS002 internal Module.

.........

Device (X+1): Super - Android/Apple phone/PC device with 3-rd party OEM BlueTooth Modle Application supporting real-time speed/distance comming from spinning bikes.....

Obviously I want to do RACE/racing team with Spinning bikes: 3 and more racers + one judge eqiped whith Apple/Android Phone to see realtime progress.

Unfortunatelly I need to implement workaround solution, IF judge (Device X+1) will not be available: it means, that each spinning bike must know/find-out/get informations from others. (Bicycle 1 will display speed and position of other bycycles). Something like mlti-cast mode?

Question:

Please, will be new Q1/2015 firmware supporting this?????? Possibility to change BT_Device_id , BT_Device_name BT_MAC_adress??? etc?

Thanks for your reply, and thanks for Hints how to solve such scenarios. Marek Stepan

P.S.Just for your informations, one "Competitor=SPA311/OBS421 etc." is using modified firmware for similar purposes, using keywords Multipoint + PicoNet (self-connecting network upto 8 devices) .

P.P.S. At this moment as electronic sw/hw designer, I have task to enhance/update one old product, and I must implemet both scenarios in that product.I need to say that price for AMS001/AMS002 is perfect, but obviously if I modify and prepare new PCB with AMS modul, I need to be sure, that internal firmware will have necessary functionality/feature in future as we need, together with changes in our sw code..
