How to Stream Additional Data to nRF Connect App?

Hi there,

So, You ended up in the right place :+1:

The usual BLE pattern is:

  • 1 Service = one logical group (e.g., environmental data)
  • Multiple Characteristics = individual values (temperature, humidity, etc.)

So your setup of 1 service with 3 characteristics is exactly how it’s normally done.

If your sensors are environmental, I’d recommend using the standard Environmental Sensing Service (0x181A) with standard characteristics. :grin: :+1: That way tools like nRF Connect will automatically label them properly instead of showing raw UUIDs.

Regarding names: BLE doesn’t really transmit “names” for services/characteristics. Apps recognize standard UUIDs and display friendly names. For custom UUIDs, you can add a User Description descriptor (0x2901), but support varies by app.

Also, enabling notifications per characteristic is normal — each one has its own CCCD, so the app lets you control them individually.

What you built now is actually the correct structure — just decide whether you want to go “standard UUIDs” or “custom + descriptors.”
