Hi Mike, >> [MT]How can this handle the multiple instances of same characteristics within a single service? The characteristic UUID will not be unique in that case. In BlueZ GATT services are represented by a D-Bus object path, in the format: <device-path>/service<handle1>/characteristic<handle2> Where <device-path> is a path specific to a device connected to a adapter (there can be multiple adapters on the same host), and <handle1>/<handle2> are attribute handles for the service and characteristic declarations, respectively. Example: /org/bluez/2161/hci0/dev_00_02_5B_00_D5_D0/service0001/characteristic000a So, even if you have multiple characteristics with same UUID, they will have different declaration handles, and thus different object paths in D-Bus. >> Also, how is the profile specific characteristic descriptor handled? I think Chen's proposal does not address this. But there was another proposal sent by Vijaykumar Dadmode on Oct 4th (subject "Proposal for GATT Client Dbus API") to this list where it was handling profile-specific descriptors. We made some comments on it, and we are waiting for an updated proposal. We need to consolidate at least these two proposals: Chen's and Vijaykumar's.
