Communication with paired BLE device from Windows 8

I understand there is no API for Windows 8 BLE or Bluetooth 4, however Windows 8 allows you to see and pair with BLE devices through the Windows Bluetooth Manager.

My question is is there any way to communicate (through a COM or Serial Port for example) with a paired BLE device on Windows 8?

Preferably in C++ or C# as I intend to create a DLL which I can import in Unity3D.

Thanks

You're right about the need to pair with the device in windows bluetooth manager manually.

What I've done to solve my problem was to buy the BlueGiga BLED112 dongle, which has a C library that allows you to communicate with the device through a COM port. Here is the link to BLED112. And you also have this lib, which is written in C# and allows you to do what you want in a more kind way.

Hope it helps.
