Description
The Thingy:52 app is designed to work with the Nordic Thingy:52™ devices.
Nordic Thingy:52 is a compact, power-optimized, multi-sensor device built around the nRF52832 Bluetooth® 5 SoC from Nordic Semiconductor.
Capture, view, and interact with the sensor data acquired from your Thingy:52. Thanks to its simple Bluetooth API and IFTTT™ integration, the possibilities are endless!
Use this app to connect your mobile device with Thingy and gain access to the following functionalities: - View the current temperature, humidity, air quality, and atmospheric pressure - Use it as a compass, step counter, or detect taps on any of its axis - Check the orientation of your Thingy and get live accelerometer, gyroscope, and magnetometer data at a high rate - Measure the gravity vector - Trigger programmable events by pressing the button on top of the device - Control the color, brightness, and mode of the RGB LED - Stream PCM audio to its speaker, or play predefined notification sounds when events occur - Stream audio from Thingy to a mobile device using the built-in microphone - Play programmable tunes in frequency mode - Using the free Thingy app, update the firmware on your Thingy as soon as new firmware versions are released
For firmware and mobile developers: Thingy can be flashed with custom firmware, just like any other development kit from Nordic Semiconductor. The Thingy firmware package contains comprehensive documentation, so you can easily customize it to your own needs. Additionally, we provide an Android Library on GitHub for your Android development needs. These libraries are made exclusively for Thingy, to ensure that mobile development are as smooth as possible!

It would be very useful to have a new function with the ability to record the raw data to a file for further analysis. Still very great app from Nordic!

Nice app - the Thingy seems to be more robust and reliable than the Sensor Tag in my experience. A couple of things that are lacking in the Android app: - Fahrenheit option for temperature (only available on iOS right now) - Battery level indicator for the Thingy (this can be seen with nRF Connect app in a more manual method of checking the battery level). - Longer delay options for sensor readings (for cloud integration). - A humidity_update event option for IFTTT. I mention the longer delay for the sensor readings because I would like to feed data to IFTTT, but I don't need "real time" resolution. I am planning to look into a Raspberry Pi option for cloud integration.

Cannot connect using Samsung Note 8, Scan sees nothing even though I can scan tag with NFC fine, and can see it in Bluetooth settings and connect to it with nRF Connect just fine. Please help. I am happy to beta test if you email Reanimation XP at gmail.

This app is installed on motor style and is not able to find thingy device. The Bluetooth on the phone is able to find it though. This is Android 6. Not sure how to resolve this issue.

Firmware update hangs or crashes. Menu items often don't respond, i.e., can only see the environment screen. Some environment values not shown, while others are missing in web interface.
