Chrome lets you connect a website to your Bluetooth devices. For example, if you have a Bluetooth-enabled heart monitor, you can let a website connect to it. Then, the page can record and show information about the monitor.
Bluetooth is a standard short-range wireless communication between devices. Bluetooth "Classic" is a set of binary protocols that supports speeds up to 24 Mbps. Bluetooth 4.0 introduced a new "Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE)" mode that is limited to 1 Mbps but allows devices to leave their transmitters off.
Important: Currently, Chrome only supports connecting to a Bluetooth Low Energy device.
When to give access to your device
Only give device access to a trusted site. If you pair a website with your device, the site gets all the information on the device and can even reprogram it. You can choose your default permission setting on your computer.
Pair a webpage in Chrome with your device
Important: You can pair a webpage when you use Chrome on a computer or Android device. iPhone and iPad devices don't support connections between Bluetooth devices and websites in Chrome.
- On your computer or phone, make sure Bluetooth is turned on. On the Bluetooth device, make sure the device is discoverable.
- In Chrome, open a webpage that can connect to your device.
- Click or tap the page. You'll be asked to add a device.
