Just noticed this PR in the node-homey-lib repo: > > > Enables BLE advertisements support for select platforms to expand feature compat…ibility and future integration possibilities. This actually sounds interesting since I was attempting to build an app a while back that would allow offline control via Bluetooth (and the built-in API that the apps can use) for fully local control without WiFi needed. It used an Android app that advertises and then Homey scans for that device while it’s offline. I never got the Android part to work, so I abandoned it. But it does seem like Homey is introducing something similar where Homey itself can advertise (and possibly accept connections) via Bluetooth. Unfortunately I won’t be able to use this for my app since I only have Pro2019 which is not supported (`homey3d` has not been added to the file) ---

I don’t know, I don’t use that
