Application asks permission to add a link to mobile phone's home screen. Application will then open as a standalone application.

Web Bluetooth API

Web Bluetooth API works with Windows, Mac, Linux and Android (6.0->) devices with Chrome and Opera browsers. Unfortunately Apple iOS doesn't support Web Bluetooth.

Uses lego-boost-browser package for device communication and control.
