What can I do with Bluetooth

[RDS]

I have the RPi 3 with Bluetooth but I am interested to know what members are using Bluetooth for on the Pi.

Over the years I've experimented with:

1. Streaming audio to the Pi
   Streaming audio from the Pi
   Serial communication
   HID controllers
   Network sharing
   TTY terminals
   Piconets
   File transfer
   Beacons
   Proximity detection
   Accessing BLE sensors

Probably a few other use cases, all with varying ease and success. Others have connected keyboards, mice and game controllers.

Sorry for my ignorance: can you use the embedded BLE module on PI3 to receive audio signals/streaming from devices like smartphones or so?

[Douglas6]

Using BLE, no. Using the onboard classic Bluetooth, yes.

Thanks a lot. I just discovered it can works on both mode.
