Abstract: It is common that almost every current smart device is able to communicate wirelessly. There are multiple technological solutions for wireless communication. They vary in transfer rates, maximum range or in transmission method. Bluetooth is currently dominant technology for data exchange in short distances. This study describes the latest branch of Bluetooth technology, Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) and how to use it with Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) on low costs platforms. This approach offers simple and fast way how to implement wireless sensor network which communicates through a router with other services. Local and global link address distribution is described as well. An implementation example of wireless nodes using IPv6 over BLE integration into in smart-home project Hausy is presented.
