I did some more research on this. Qt WebEngine in 5.4.2 is based on Chrome 37 (see http://code.qt.io/cgit/qt/qtwebengine.git/tree/tools/scripts/version_resolver.py?h=5.4.2). The Chrome bluetooth and bluetoothLowEnergy APIs were added in Chrome 37. So theoretically this support may be in Qt 5.4.2.
I downloaded the latest Windows build of Otter (http://otter-browser.org/) which is also using Qt 5.4.2 and tried loading the Chrome Bluetooth LE Device Information Service Demo from https://github.com/GoogleChrome/chrome-app-samples/tree/master/samples/bluetooth-samples/device-info-demo. This shows "No connected devices". I don't have a Bluetooth LE device to search for but I'm hoping the fact that it didn't just show an error means the API is supported.

I know that Chrome supports some interfaces: https://developer.chrome.com/apps/app_bluetooth I wasn't sure if this functionality carried over into Qt WebEngine via Blink. If it doesn't does anyone know of any other support for Bluetooth from HTML5/JS?
