  The S2Bot App for Mac OS X doesn't have full support for SBrick Plus unfortunately. I've downloaded the native version, same thing. Using MacS2Bot, I am able to connect to my SBrick Plus, but it disconnects within one minute, sometimes after 10 seconds. I was able to send some Extension Blocks (using the SBrick x2 template from MacS2Bot) to motors connected to my SBrick Plus, and they worked fine.. until the connection is lost. After reconnecting about 5 times, S2Bot fails to connect to the SBrick Plus. I must say I'm powering the SBrick Plus with an old 9V battery box, (http://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=4760c01#T=C), but that works fine with the SBrick iOS app.

  Both Apps allow me to control a LEGO WeDo 2.0 device. My SBrick is working, I tested it with the iOS SBrick app prior to trying to find it. I've turned on and off the SBrick (the power to the SBrick of course) as suggested by the app to no avail.
  So trying to figure out what's wrong here:
  - the SBrick is working, receiving power and commands over Bluetooth from my iPhone 4S if I wish.
  - the BLED112 dongle is working, it talks to a WeDo 2.0 Smart Hub with MacS2Bot or S2Bot 4 Scratch.
  - I'm an early SBrick adopter, I pledged in 2014 so my SBrick is old?
  I'd say the S2Bot apps aren't doing what they should be doing, they can't find the SBrick's contact signal over the BLED112.  less
