Communicate BLE via MacOS and Python?

[onesixright]

Hi All!

I have a BLE body scale. 

Anyway way to communicate with (preferable) Python and my MacOS (the Mac bluetooth chip, should support BLE)? Would love to read some data from it.

Anyone some pointers?

Much obliged!

I'm using ruuvi-tag sensors with an RPi - the 'ruuvicollector' software worked without any modifications on raspbian. It's probably java, not python..

there seems to be a python lib for reading the ruuvitag ble sensors here: https://github.com/ttu/ruuvitag-sensor

Thanks!

So just to be clear, if I buy a 'RUUVITAG' sensor (~ EUR 29)? Then with this sensor (need to flash it?) I can pickup data of other BLE devices and sends it to a RPi (using ruuvicollector) ?

sorry for the confusion...
- ruuvitag is a sensor that detects temperature, humidity, pressure and sends the data over BLE. battery life should be 2 years (?).
- I'm collecting the data with an RPi (latest model, 3B+?) running the default raspbian.
- data goes into influxDB on the RPi and can be visualized with chronograph/grafana etc.

they might be developing a new thing "ruuvi-node" which will do the data-collection, but afaik it is a prototype.

Thanks for explaining. I'm more after a generic BLE solution / sniffer.
