I have been attempting to test out the onBluetoothReceived session event but am not able to hit the method. I have a view set up for visual confirmation where I connect a label to a tag value and then write to that tag in onBluetoothReceived with

`system.tag.writeAsync(['[default]BluetoothTag'], ['data.values[0].rssi'])`

I then connect to my gateway on a mobile device to test if the method is hit, but even with turning my Bluetooth on/off and making sure there are other devices advertising I cannot seem to hit the session event. Is there a better way to test out the event that maybe I’m overlooking? I looked in the documentation, but there were no examples like there were for ‘barcode scanned’.

Are you on the very latest Ignition app on your device?

</div>

is the capitalized ‘W’ in ‘WriteAsync’ a transcription error or do you actually have that in your code?

Sorry about that it was a transcription error. I’ve also tried just changing the data inside tag to just a plain string to see if it was something wrong with the way the data was formatted, and I also tried printing messages to the console, but neither of those worked either.
