The Service class

A Bluetooth LE Service object represents a collection of characteristics and descriptors which are all related to one particular function of the peripheral. This allows particular characteristics to be discovered without having to enumerate everything offered by that peripheral.

More information about standard services can be found at https://www.bluetooth.org/en-us/specification/adopted-specifications

Constructor

You should not construct Service objects directly. Instead, use the getServices() or getServiceByUUID() methods of a connected Peripheral object.

Instance Methods

getCharacteristics([forUUID=None])

Returns a list of Characteristic objects associated with the service. If this has not been done before, the peripheral is queried. Otherwise, a cached list if returned. If forUUID is given, it may be a UUID object or a value used to construct one. In this case the returned list, which may be empty, contains any characteristics associated with the service which match that UUID.

Properties

All the properties listed below are read-only.

uuid

The Bluetooth UUID for this service.

peripheral

The Peripheral object for the device to which the service belongs.
