Thingy:53 - Request to add IAQ sensor UUID so that the "Unknown Characteristic" shows up with "IAQ" in nRF Connect for Mobile

[zpm1066]

Hello,

A while back, through a Nordic Support issue, I requested UUIDs to be added to Thingy:53 so that the sensor characteristics appear with names rather than "unknown". From my understanding, the nRF Connect for Mobile dev team made the required changes.

First of all, I'd like to extend my thanks to the dev team for the changes. They're very much appreciated.

Unfortunately, the IAQ sensor UUID entry didn't get included as it was one missed from the original Nordic Semi 'Thingy53 sensor hub' blog.

As you can see, I'm currently using a random UUID for IAQ.

Could you please generate a Nordic Semi UUID for the IAQ sensor and add it to the existing Thingy:53 UUIDS in the bluetooth-numbers-database (characteristic_uuids.json)? Thank you.

The BME688 sensor with air quality IAQ is in the Thing:53 and now also in the new Thingy:91X. This request would be beneficial for all customers.
