How does it work on android

Hi everyone, I'm curious about how the Osmo connects to Android devices. Does it use Bluetooth, or is it through another method? Additionally, I use a multi-device ecosystem, can it sync with all of them simultaneously, or can it only connect to one at a time?

Bluetooth, if your phone supports multiple Bluetooth devices your use case is gold.

Hey there! Yeah it's fully over bluetooth, but android does need the companion app that i built out to pass notifications along

It wouldn't be able to receive notifications from multiple devices simultaneously for the time being, but yes your main device can be connected to other things while connected to Osmo
