UI Overhaul#

The Demo side hosts ready-made demos, which leverage sample apps from the Silicon Labs SDK for a quick and delightful out-of- box experience.
The Develop side hosts features focused on helping Bluetooth firmware developers move faster with application development.
General UI improvements that were done as part of the redesign include the expansion of clickable areas, better information density, and more intuitive overall controls.
Browser Filtering#
The filtering capabilities on the browser have been improved to include more parameters such as connectable/non-connectable, device name, device address (Android only), raw data (Android only), beacon type (iBeacon, AtlBeacon, Eddystone), and RSSI. In addition to that it is possible to add devices to Favorites and filter by favorites as well. Furthermore, filters can be saved for later use.
