Segway Launcher - Bluetooth Features

This video tutorial covers the Bluetooth features in the Segway Launcher mobile app, which allow you to communicate directly with a scooter over Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) without needing an active IoT connection.

What You'll Learn

  • How to connect to a scooter via Bluetooth
  • Operations available over Bluetooth (lock/unlock, transport mode, firmware update)
  • When to use Bluetooth vs. remote IoT commands
  • Troubleshooting Bluetooth connection issues

When to Use Bluetooth

Bluetooth is useful when:

  • A scooter is offline (no IoT connection)
  • You need to put a scooter into or out of Transport Mode
  • Performing local diagnostics on a scooter
  • The scooter is nearby and you want faster response than network commands

Note: Make sure your phone's Location services and Bluetooth are both enabled, and that the Launcher app has permissions for both.
