Application allows simultaneous connections to multiple devices with traffic diagnostic functions and contains interface for creating database of user defined commands. From version 6.8 [currently available for beta testers] phone sensor data such as GPS position, acceleration, temperature, battery level, proximity, etc., can be included in commands and send to connected devices.

PERMISSIONS
To scan for BLE devices, app need permission ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION. The reason is (from Google developer guide): LE Beacons are often associated with location. In order to use BluetoothLeScanner, you must request the user's permission by declaring either the ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION or ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION permission in your app's manifest file. Without these permissions, scans won't return any results.
