title: Is it possible to access an external hardware device using firebase?
body: <p>I am working on an iPhone application where app has to handle an external device remotely using core Bluetooth framework. So once the app gets the information from the external device, it has to store that info in Firebase database. Till this part it is very clear.</p>
  
  <p>Now the problem here is I need to connect the external hardware device to Firebase database so that firebase can access the device and send that updated information received from hardware to iPhone app.</p>
  
  <p>I have gone through this <a href="https://www.firebase.com/docs/ios/api/" rel="nofollow">https://www.firebase.com/docs/ios/api/</a> document of Firebase. I have not found any way to connect an external device to Firebase. Any suggestions would be helpful.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance.</p>
