You can use "node-bluetooth" to send and receive data from and to a device respectively. This is a sample code:-

const bluetooth = require('node-bluetooth');

// create bluetooth device instance

const device = new bluetooth.DeviceINQ();

device
    .on('finished', console.log.bind(console, 'finished'))
    .on('found', function found(address, name) {
        console.log('Found: ' + address + ' with name ' + name);

        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'));
            });

        });

        // 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'));
        });
    }).inquire();

It scans for the device name given in "device" variable.
