Which Setup Flow Should I Use? (Guided Q&A)
This page uses a few quick questions to route you to the right connection setup flow.
Q1: Has this device already been added to HiBean?
A: Yes (I can see it in my device list)
Continue to Q2 to jump to the most relevant flow.
B: No (It’s not in my device list)
This is a first-time binding flow. Recommended:
- Choose the right method first: Connection Methods (BLE / SPP / Serial)
- Then follow the relevant guide:
- BLE: Connect First Device
- Windows + SPP: Windows Classic Bluetooth (SPP)
- macOS + SPP: macOS Classic Bluetooth (SPP)
Q2 (only if Q1 is A): What are you trying to do?
A: Use the same device on a new platform (cross-platform)
Example: you added the device on iOS and now want to use it on macOS/Windows.
Recommended order:
- Understand why this happens: Using the Same Device Across Platforms
- Go to the operation entry point: Update Connection Settings (cross-platform)
B: Switch connection types on the same platform (e.g., BLE → SPP, or SPP → Serial)
Go directly:
C: I only see “Not configured / Bluetooth not configured”
Go directly:
Q3: Not sure what “SPP direct” vs “Serial (COM/USB)” means?
