Use with built in bluetooth on macOS?

[niemyjski]

I have a bluetooth LE device that is paired with my MacBook Pro via browser/os. But I cannot get this library to run and detect the same device no matter what I try. To me it seems as if I am required to use a bluetooth dongle from reading all the threads (which is how this library came to be)? What do I need to do to use the built in bluetooth? I've tried a bunch of stuff.

Unfortunately you will need the BLED112 adaptor on Mac OS X. If you have found an alternative solution I would be very interested to know more about it.

Sorry, I don't have a Mac and don't know much about its Bluetooth subsystem.
