The DefaultDelegate class

bluepy functions which receive Bluetooth messages asynchronously - such as notifications, indications, and advertising data - pass this information to the user by calling methods on a ‘delegate’ object.

To be useful, the delegate object will be from a class created by the user. Bluepy’s DefaultDelegate is a base class for this - you should override some or all of the methods here with your own application-specific code.

Constructor

DefaultDelegate()

Initialises the object instance.

Instance Methods

handleNotification(cHandle, data)

Called when a notification or indication is received from a connected Peripheral object. cHandle is the (integer) handle for the characteristic - this can be used to distinguish between notifications from multiple sources on the same peripheral. data is the characteristic data (a str type on Python 2.x, and bytes on 3.x).

handleDiscovery(scanEntry, isNewDev, isNewData)

Called when advertising data is received from an LE device while a Scanner object is active. scanEntry contains device information and advertising data - see the ScanEntry class for details. isNewDev is True if the device (as identified by its MAC address) has not been seen before by the scanner, and False otherwise. isNewData is True if new or updated advertising data is available.
