Bleak is a cross-platform Python library providing an asynchronous API for Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) communication, acting as a GATT client to connect to BLE devices. It supports Windows, Linux (BlueZ), macOS (Core Bluetooth), and Android backends.
Use cases
- scan for nearby bluetooth low energy devices in python
- connect to a ble sensor and read gatt characteristics
- receive notifications from a bluetooth heart rate monitor
- write data to a ble device from a cross-platform python app
- build a python script to talk to a smart sensor over bluetooth
- discover and list bluetooth devices on windows mac and linux
When to choose
- you need a single Python API for BLE across Windows, Linux, macOS, or Android
- you want asyncio-based asynchronous BLE communication
- you need to read, write, or subscribe to GATT characteristics on BLE peripherals
When to avoid
- you need Bluetooth Classic (non-BLE) profiles like SPP or A2DP
- you need a GATT server (peripheral role) rather than a client
- you are not using Python or need non-async blocking APIs
