What is Bluetooth LE? (Low Energy)

Hi everyone,
Bluetooth Low Energy (LE), also known as Bluetooth Smart, is a wireless communication technology designed for short-range communication between devices. Introduced with Bluetooth 4.0, it is a power-efficient version of the classic Bluetooth technology, which is used for connecting devices over short distances.
The key advantages of Bluetooth LE over standard Bluetooth include:
Low Energy Consumption: Bluetooth LE is designed to minimize energy consumption, making it ideal for battery-powered devices like wearable tech, wireless sensors, fitness devices, and more.
Compatibility: Bluetooth LE is backward compatible with standard Bluetooth technology. This means that a device that supports Bluetooth LE can communicate with a device that supports only classic Bluetooth.
Latency: Bluetooth LE has a shorter latency (the time it takes for data to travel from one device to another) than classic Bluetooth, which is beneficial for applications that require real-time data transfer.
Bluetooth LE is typically used in applications like health care (heart rate monitors, blood glucose monitors), fitness (activity trackers), security (smart locks), and home automation (smart thermostats, smart lighting systems). It's designed for applications that require infrequent short bursts of data transfer and can run on a coin cell battery for months or even years.
