1. A non-transitory, tangible, and computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of an electronic device, are configured to cause the electronic device to:

  • communicate messages of a message-based protocol with another electronic device via a characteristic-based communication protocol, the message-based protocol having a larger message length than the characteristic-based communication protocol, including;

    establish a connection with the other electronic device over a low power radio using the characteristic-based communication protocol;

    submit a connection request message to the other electronic device by writing a value to a first characteristic associated with the characteristic-based communication protocol;

    subscribe to messages from the other electronic device by writing a value to a second characteristic associated with the characteristic-based communication protocol; and

    communicate with the other electronic device by using the first characteristic to send messages of the message-based protocol to the other electronic device and the second characteristic to receive messages of the message-based protocol from the other electronic device.
