title: How do you get the actual name of a bluetooth low energy device?
body: <p>I need to get the friendly device name from a ble sensor. I want to find the device and tell the user they are connected to "My Home Sensor" for example. I can find the device, but I don't know how to find that data.</p>
  
  <p>In regular bluetooth, I believe I can use BLUETOOTH_DEVICE_INFO or winsock.
  Is there a bluetooth low energy equivalent to bluetooth's BLUETOOTH_DEVICE_INFO? 
  If possible, could you please provide an example for how to get the information (i.e. device name)?</p>
  
  <p>I'm using Windows 8.1, c++ and visual studio 2013. I've been referencing windows dev docs, but I haven't found anything useful yet.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
