How should BLE products handle two phones in one household?
Design for one active GATT session at a time while allowing multiple bonded phones or cloud-linked accounts. Store device identity and configuration on the device or backend, not only on the first phone. For a shared home gateway, test phone B connecting while phone A is locked, backgrounded, or force-closed so household handoff works without reset.
