I want to send data to mobile or other device.

I am completely new to connect iq.

I want to send sensor information of Garmin device (eg> distance traveled, travel time, calories burned, heart rate, etc.) to mobile or other devices in real time using BLE.
I looked up and found ways to use BluetoothLowEnergy module, use Mobile SDK, or use HealthSDK. (Of course, if I use the Health SDK, I don't need to create a CIQ APP)
In order to provide these functions in real time, would it be appropriate to implement them as an App?
In the case of Data Field, watch face, and Widget, there are timeouts and API access restrictions, so it seems difficult to implement.

Am I understanding correctly?

You can send from the watch to the android app. See the Comm example in the sdk (or here a slightly modified version: https://github.com/Artaud/CIQ-Comm-failure-sample)

You can do this with a companion app on the phone, a web server (makeWebRequest) or by writting a BLE app on "another device".

In any case to broadcast you can do a device-app, but you'll only broadcast when that app/activity is running. With a data field, if you use Comm, you can only send data every 5 minutes.

Thank you for your comment.

You mean the data field is not appropriate in real time and I should implement it as a device app. right?

Thank you for your comment.

I will check that project!!

With a data field you can only do comm in a background service, and temporal events can run at most every 5 minutes,

Hi，Jim，

can an app interact with a mobile through the ble sdk in real time or more frequently than that as a datafield？Thanks for your answer！

The CIQ BLE interface can run more often

See the nordicthingy52coincolector sample in the SDK. There the thingy52 plays a sound every other second in a data field.
