SimpleBLE v0.12.1

SimpleBLE v0.12.1 is out!

TLDR: Python gets full asyncio support (finally!), and we’re handing the keys to the robots with new AI-friendly capabilities. Check out the release notes here.

Deep dive into SimpleBLE v0.12.1

Let’s review some of the most important changes of this new release.

Async Python has arrived

If you’ve been building Python services, blocking the event loop is nobody's idea of fun. With the new simplepyble.aio module, that barrier is gone. You now have a fully asyncio-compatible API with context manager support and automatic callback cleanup. It fits into your existing async workflows cleanly, so you can focus on your logic instead of managing threading headaches.

SimpleBLE meets AI

We’re making SimpleBLE AI-friendly with the introduction of SimpleAIBLE. This includes a Model Context Protocol (MCP) and an HTTP server that allows LLMs and AI agents to directly scan, connect, and interact with Bluetooth devices. Whether you’re building automated hardware testing or AI-driven device assistants, the infrastructure is now there for you to tinker with.

Language Parity & Stability

Consistency is a feature. We’ve modernized our C and Rust bindings to match the C++ core API, ensuring that no matter your stack, you aren't left behind. More work on this front is coming soon.

Build your product, not the plumbing

Reliability is our ongoing commitment. Every release is a step toward making Bluetooth "just work" across every platform. In production environments, you need a stable foundation and a team that has your back when things get weird.

SimpleBLE abstracts the platform pain away so you can get to market faster.

What’s next?

We’re excited to see what you build with the new async support and AI capabilities. Are you planning to let an LLM control your hardware, or are you just happy to finally have await in your Python scripts?
