Is it possible to emulate a Bluetooth Heart Rate broadcast (like Garmin) on Pebble?

Hi everyone,

I’m exploring how to develop a Pebble app that can emulate a Bluetooth heart rate (HR) broadcast, similar to what Garmin and some Huawei watches offer ( transmitting HR data to a cycling computer or apps like QZ). So far, I’ve found documentation on using HealthService to access HR data, and APIs for communication with phone apps, but I haven’t found any guidance on broadcasting HR directly over Bluetooth (acting like a BLE HR sensor).

Has anyone looked into this or knows where to start? Is this even feasible within Pebble’s capabilities, or are there limitations on Bluetooth roles/profiles that would prevent this?

Any pointers or ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
