1. How to open ANCS function
1.1 Please read apple notification document first: {{:digispark:tutorials:applenotificationcenterservicespecification.pdf|}} and HM-10 datasheet for commands referenced below: {{:digispark:tutorials:bluetooth40_en.pdf|}} 1.2 Send AT+TYPE3 command change to AUTH and BOND mode. 1.3 Send AT+ANCS1 command to open ANCS. 1.4 Send AT+PASS[para1] command to set passcode. Default passcode is "000000" 1.5 Send AT+RESET to restart module. Scan and connect with module. iOS will ask you input passcode. please input your passcode value. If all is okay, you should receive AT+ANCS[para1] command from module UART.
2. About AT+ANCS[para1] command
AT+ANCSN: module open Notification Source SUCCESSED. AT+ANCSC: module open Control Point SUCCESSED. AT+ANCSD: module open Data Source SUCCESSED.
3. Get ANCS notification information
When iOS notification center has an change (such as call, email, shortmessage) Module will output AT+ANCS8[para2] command through UART.
4. About AT+ANCS8[para2] command.
Format such as : AT+ANCS801012345 8: The length of the para1. 0: EventID. EventIDNotificationAdded = 0, EventIDNotificationModified = 1, EventIDNotificationRemoved = 2, Reserved EventID values = 3¨C255 1: CategoryID. CategoryIDOther = 0, CategoryIDIncomingCall = 1, CategoryIDMissedCall = 2, CategoryIDVoicemail = 3, CategoryIDSocial = 4, CategoryIDSchedule = 5, CategoryIDEmail = 6, CategoryIDNews = 7, CategoryIDHealthAndFitness = 8, CategoryIDBusinessAndFinance = 9, CategoryIDLocation = 10, CategoryIDEntertainment = 11, Reserved CategoryID values = 12¨C255 01: CategoryCount The current number of active iOS notifications in the given category. For example, if two unread emails are sitting in a user¡¯s email inbox, and a new email is pushed to the user¡¯s iOS device, the value of CategoryCount is 3. 2345: NotificationUID A 32-bit numerical value that is the unique identifier (UID) for the iOS notification. This value can be used as a handle in commands sent to the Control Point characteristic to retrieve more information about the iOS notification.
5. Get Notification Attributes
AT+ANCS[para1][para2][para3] Format such as: AT+ANCS2345100 para1: NotificationUID. Para2: NotificationAttributeID NotificationAttributeIDAppIdentifier = 0, NotificationAttributeIDTitle = 1, (Needs to be followed by a 2-bytes max length parameter) NotificationAttributeIDSubtitle = 2, (Needs to be followed by a 2-bytes max length parameter) NotificationAttributeIDMessage = 3, (Needs to be followed by a 2-bytes max length parameter) NotificationAttributeIDMessageSize = 4, NotificationAttributeIDDate = 5, Reserved NotificationAttributeID values = 6¨C255 Para3: max length parameter If para2 value is 0, 4, 5, para3 must set to "00" if para2 value is 1, 2, 3, you need setup a number.
6. Aoubt Get Notification Attributes Response
AT+ANCSW: Send request SUCCESSED. AT+ANCS[para1]: para1 value is 0x00 ~ 0x14. Mean the next package length you need to receive. [........]: The byte array you need to receive. Show in apple Notification document Figure 2-6. (page 9) After you receive AT+ANCSW, you may receive AT+ANCS[para1] many times. until the Fingure 2-6 package is completed.
7. How to remove ANCS.
7.1 Remove connection information from iOS. 7.2 Execute AT+ERASE to remove module connection information. 7.3 Execute AT+ANCS0 close module ANCS function. 7.4 Execute AT+RESET to restart module.
