MySensors over Bluetooth ?

[alowhum]

Looking at the BLE Nano and the new Bluetooth Arduino devices, I was wondering if the mysensors protocol could run on top of Bluetooth?

Is it a crazy idea? Is it even technically possible? Could it, for example, extract away handling of encryption?

technically yes this is possible by using:

• custom BLE msg, depends on payload length, and longer payload can be enabled
• BLE Serial service

but afaik there is no plan for adding and maintaining this for the moment

Interesting. Would this automatically secure the communicatin?

[scalz]

no. bluetooth is not secured by default. you need to handle this in your ble fw
