emay-sleepo2 1.0.5

BLE client and CSV parser for the EMAY SleepO2 pulse oximeter

EMAY SleepO2 BLE SDK

A multi-language SDK for the EMAY SleepO2 pulse oximeter's real-time Bluetooth streaming protocol. Read SpO₂ and pulse rate at 1 Hz from a $30 consumer device.

Every package exposes the same simple API. Pick your language — the EMAYClient interface is identical across Swift, Python, Node.js, Rust, Go, and Kotlin.

Quick Start

Swift

import EMAYSleepO2

let emay = EMAYClient()
emay.onReading = { reading in
    print("SpO₂: \(reading.spo2 ?? 0)%  HR: \(reading.pulse ?? 0)")
}
try await emay.start()

Python

import asyncio
from emay_sleepo2 import EMAYClient

async def main():
    emay = EMAYClient()
    emay.on_reading = lambda r: print(f"SpO₂: {r.spo2}%  HR: {r.pulse}")
    await emay.start()
    await asyncio.sleep(30)  # stream for 30 seconds
    await emay.stop()

asyncio.run(main())

Node.js

import { EMAYClient } from '@groundeffect/emay-sleepo2';

const emay = new EMAYClient();
emay.on('reading', (r) => {
    console.log(`SpO₂: ${r.spo2}%  HR: ${r.pulse}`);
});
await emay.start();

// ... stream ...

await emay.stop();

Rust

use emay_sleepo2::EMAYClient;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
    let mut emay = EMAYClient::new().await?;
    emay.on_reading(|r| println!("SpO₂: {}%  HR: {}", r.spo2, r.pulse));
    emay.start().await?;
    tokio::time::sleep(Duration::from_secs(30)).await;
    emay.stop().await?;
}

Go

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "time"
    emay "github.com/chenders/emay-sleepo2"
)

func main() {
    client, _ := emay.NewClient(emay.DefaultAdapter())
    client.OnReading = func(r emay.Reading) {
        fmt.Printf("SpO₂: %d%%  HR: %d\n", r.SpO2, r.Pulse)
    }
    client.Start()
    time.Sleep(30 * time.Second)
    client.Stop()
}

Kotlin (Android)

val emay = EMAYClient(context)
emay.onReading = { reading ->
    println("SpO₂: ${reading.spo2}%  HR: ${reading.pulse}")
}
emay.start(scope = lifecycleScope)

API Reference

Every binding exposes the same minimal interface:

class EMAYClient {
    // Lifecycle
    start()                  — connect and begin streaming
    stop()                   — stop streaming and disconnect
    isStreaming: bool        — whether currently streaming

    // Data
    onReading: (Reading) -> void   — called at ~1 Hz with new readings

    // Status
    status: Status           — Idle | Scanning | Connecting | Streaming | Failed
    onStatusChange: (Status) -> void

    // Advanced
    start(address)           — connect to a specific device by address
    batteryLevel: Int?       — battery percentage (after connection)
    heartbeatInterval: Duration — default 1.5s

    // CSV (parse only, no BLE)
    static parseCSV(data) -> [Reading]
    static parseCSVFile(path) -> [Reading]
}

Reading Type

Reading {
    spo2: Int?          // SpO₂ percent (0–100), nil when finger off
    pulse: Int?         // Pulse rate in bpm, nil when no reading
    timestamp: Instant  // When this reading was captured
}

The Protocol (tl;dr)

• BLE service FF12, write FF01, notify FF02
• Commands: payload + sum(payload) & 0x7F
• Start sequence: hello → deviceState → startRealtime → getBattery
• Sustain with a heartbeat command every ~1.5 s
• Data frames: 8 bytes — EB 01 05 [PR] [SpO2] 7F 00 [cks]
• Full specification: spec.md

About

The EMAY SleepO2 is a $30 continuous pulse oximeter capable of overnight streaming. No public documentation existed for its protocol. We reverse-engineered it and open-source the result so health-app developers, researchers, and tinkerers can stream oxygen data without cracking the spec themselves.
