I just bought a Fitbit One which includes Bluetooth 4.0 to sync with mobile devices. Currently libfitbit does not include support for bluetooth syncing, so I would like to see how much data I can get out of the device that I can pass onto the libfitbit devs so that they can explore bluetooth support.
I ran:
hcitool scan
which unfortunately did not return any devices. I also used blueman to scan for devices and nothing was found either.
Therefore I am assuming that the bluetooth radio in the device is not visible by default.
Can anyone recommend any ways to get data out of the device that could be helpful?
