  "textContent": "submitted by the16bitgamer to programming\n17 points | 8 comments\n\nJust wanted to share an idea I had, in order to hope that another developer learns from my lessons, and hopefully either finds a work around or a better solution to this problem.\n\nI wanted to find out if it was possible to locate your iPhone from your watch based on the latency of Bluetooth messages, since RSSI (signal strength) isn’t available. I made a simple app, and started sending messages back and forth between my phone and app.\n\nAfter much testing, the conclusion is no. Mostly because Bluetooth is amazing and the average latency for a message is 58-62ms. And because as Erik pointed out… apple just sucks.\n\nI am hopeful PebbleOS can be updated to see RSSI or the app can expose the notification api to the PebbleKit JS.\n\nIf anyone want me to publish my code, let me know.\n\nThe raw data is here if you want to see it: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/…/edit?usp=sharing",
