Asynchronous Support

SimplePyBLE provides an asynchronous API via the simplepyble.aio module. This module is designed to work with asyncio and provides a more idiomatic way to handle asynchronous operations in Python.

Example:

import asyncio
from simplepyble.aio import Adapter

async def main():
    adapters = Adapter.get_adapters()
    adapter = adapters[0]

    async with adapter:
        await adapter.scan_for(5000)
        peripherals = adapter.scan_get_results()
        for peripheral in peripherals:
            print(f"Found: {peripheral.identifier()} [{peripheral.address()}]")

if __name__ == "__main__":
    asyncio.run(main())

Check out the async examples for more details.

To run the built-in REST server, you can use the following command:

python3 -m simplepyble.server --host 127.0.0.1 --port 8000
