This example creates GATT client and performs passive scan, it then connects to peripheral device if the device advertises connectability and the device advertises support for the Alert Notification service (0x1811) as primary service UUID. At the same time, it also creates an interactive shell and then controlled/interacted with over a serial interface to emulation the ANP behavior. It performs three GATT operations against the specified peer: * Reads the ANS Supported New Alert Category characteristic. * After the read operation is completed, writes the ANS Alert Notification Control Point characteristic. * After the write operation is completed, subscribes to notifications for the ANS Unread Alert Status characteristic. If the peer does not support a required service, characteristic, or descriptor, then the peer lied when it claimed support for the alert notification service! When this happens, or if a GATT procedure fails, this function immediately terminates the connection. It uses Bluetooth controller based on BLE connection management. This example aims at understanding alert notification profile's characteristic operations and BLE connection management APIs To test this demo, use any BLE GATT server app that advertises support for the Alert Notification service (0x1811) and includes it in the GATT database. ## Using Examples ### Functions Processing Use the commands as follows can check the alert notification profile functions. * anp * `-t (Mandatory)`: Get or Set function * `-c (Mandatory)`: Category ID * `-o (Mandatory)`: Enable, Disable and Recovery optional * New Alert * Read the Value of Supported New Alert Category ``` anp -t 1 -c 1 -o 0 anp -t 1 -c 255 -o 0 ``` * Enable the specific category for New Alert to Notify when New Alert Count Changes ``` anp -t 2 -c 1 -o 0 ``` * Disable the specific category for New Alert to Notify when New Alert Count Changes ``` anp -t 2 -c 1 -o 1 ``` * Recovery from Connection Loss for New Alerts ``` anp -t 2 -c 1 -o 2 ``` * Unread Alert * Read the Value of Supported Unread Alert Category ``` anp -t 3 -c 1 -o 0 anp -t 3 -c 255 -o 0 ``` * Enable the specific category for Unread Alert to Notify when Unread Alert Status Changes ``` anp -t 4 -c 1 -o 0 ``` * Disable the specific category for Unread Alert to Notify when Unread Alert Status Changes ``` anp -t 4 -c 1 -o 1 ``` * Recovery from Connection Loss for Unread Alert ``` anp -t 4 -c 1 -o 2 ``` ## How to Use Example Before project configuration and build, be sure to set the correct chip target using: ```bash idf.py set-target <chip_name> ``` ### Hardware Required * A development board with ESP32/ESP32-C3 SoC (e.g., ESP32-DevKitC, ESP-WROVER-KIT, etc.) * A USB cable for Power supply and programming See [Development Boards](https://www.espressif.com/en/products/devkits) for more information about it. ### Configure the Project Open the project configuration menu: ```bash idf.py menuconfig ``` In the `Example Configuration` menu: * Select advertisement name of device from `Example Configuration --> Advertisement name`, default is `BLE_ANS`. ### Build and Flash Run `idf.py -p PORT flash monitor` to build, flash and monitor the project. (To exit the serial monitor, type ``Ctrl-]``.) See the [Getting Started Guide](https://idf.espressif.com/) for full steps to configure and use ESP-IDF to build projects. ## Example Output This is the console output on successful connection: ``` This is an example of profile component. Type 'help' to get the list of commands. Use UP/DOWN arrows to navigate through command history. Press TAB when typing command name to auto-complete. Press Enter or Ctrl+C will terminate the console environment.
