Connect Mathematica to a Bluetooth 4.0 device?

How does Mathematica connect to heart rate device via Bluetooth 4.0 and analyze the sampled data? The FindDevices command has tried but the device cannot found. Are there any things to be aware or other methods?

    FindDevices[]

{DeviceObject[{"Camera", 1}], DeviceObject[{
  "FunctionDemo", 1}], DeviceObject[{
  "RandomSignalDemo", 1}], DeviceObject[{"WriteDemo", 1}]}

Hi Tsai et al, I'm curious if you ever got clean bluetooth IO to work with the Device Manager... I have a 'controller' device, which I can access through the Controller-subsystem, but would like to use some of the Connected Device functionality with it instead, so I am curious...

This might be of some use to you:

I have never tried it. Even if it does not work out of the box (it's quite old), looking at its implementation may be helpful to you.

Thank you~~ I will look for relevant information in the device manager.

First, it's okay to cross-post, but please link the posts together:

While I don't know for sure, I really doubt that Mathematica would support such a device out of the box.

I also suspect that each such device would communicate differently over Bluetooth. Knowing that it uses Bluetooth is not sufficient to talk to it. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

Finally, I have a related question myself:

There's the http://devices.wolfram.com/ site that lists more than 4000 devices. Just the fact that this site exists would suggest that there must be some support in Mathematica for communicating with these devices. But my impression was that this is not the case—there isn't direct support for almost any of them. Is this correct? If yes, what is the purpose of devices.wolfram.com ?
