find serial port channel

device.findSerialPortChannel(address, function(channel){
  console.log('Found RFCOMM channel for serial port on %s: ', name, channel);

  // make bluetooth connect to remote device
  bluetooth.connect(address, channel, function(err, connection){
    if(err) return console.error(err);
    connection.write(new Buffer('Hello!', 'utf-8'), () => {
      console.log("wrote");
    });
  });

});

create connection to device, read and write

// make bluetooth connect to remote device
bluetooth.connect(address, channel, function(err, connection){
  if(err) return console.error(err);

  connection.on('data', (buffer) => {
    console.log('received message:', buffer.toString());
  });

  connection.write(new Buffer('Hello!', 'utf-8'), () => {
    console.log("wrote");
  });
});
