https://play.google.com/store/apps/deta ... fromtasker does not work, apparently becuase BLE modules like the CC2541 do not have a pairing mode. They connect "directly through" the app. This is evidenced by a manuacturer's app for controlling a module like this https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07BSNZQ3H
The app here works https://play.google.com/store/apps/deta ... eb.dsd_ble but the module itself refuses to pair with the phone separately. The app doesn't offer plug-in support, sadly.
So the feature request is for AM to have an Action (like the app) to send Hex commands to a BLE-only device (that can't be pre-paired in the traditional way).
This could open AM to a whole world of IOT device control over Bluetooth.
