For the described use case, perhaps including [node-ancs](https://github.com/sandeepmistry/node-ancs)’s behaviour could work, i.e. Mac as central and iOS as peripheral, possibly using a previously set up BLE pairing. Only this issue came up that might complicate things: https://github.com/sandeepmistry/node-ancs/issues/9 (ANCS likely filtered out from GATT response to OS X).\r\n\r\nThe dongle + virtualisation approach sounds good, I’ll try that."}}
