Once paired you can use the apx-tts to send a message via the bluetooth handsfree speakerphone.

Bluetooth Beacons
Bluetooth Low Energy sensors or beacons, can be connected to the Syrus 4 to read sensor data wirelessly. ELA produces some BLE sensors that can read temperature, humidity, and movement.
Prerequisites
- Have the latest version of Apex installed (23.03.1 or newer)
- Have some ELA device, be it environment, temperature, movement, or id.
Get MAC address
Move the BLE sensor and scan using Syrus Management tool.
Configuration in APEX
Add the device with an optional alias
# be sure to replace MAC_ADDRESS with the MAC of the sensor, note you don't need a colon in MAC address
# sudo apx-bbs add --mac=MAC_ADDRESS --alias=NAME
$ sudo apx-bbs add --mac=E50E24DCCA9E --alias=cooler
Set scan time and enable BLUE module (update the information each 60 seconds)
# updates data every 60 seconds
$ sudo apx-bbs set --scan_time=60 --enabled=true
Get devices added
$ sudo apx-bbs get_all | jq
Verify the state of the last scans
$ sudo apx-bbs status
