    I did some research on a similar setup and from the arduino.cc forum I got suggestion to use HM-10 bluetooth modules that can work with BLE devices (like smart bands, BT tags, etc) and use the "scan" AT command that will return a maximun of 6 mac addresses of the devices in range; with that list you need to parse it in the code and send the addresses one by one to the controller. Besides that I couldn't find anything else and I still didn't buy any modules so far.

      We could use the code as presented in one of the earlier post by Hek to see if that might work... but first I need to order the modules.. :)

        I am ordering one module too. Watch out that the cheap one are clones. From the manufacturer website there is the data sheet with pictures for telling the original from clones together with at commands list

          I almost ordered the ones from china, is it an issue that it's going to be a clone?

            Well, like every cheap clone you may get something working or not, maybe the firmware doesn't have all the functions as the original one

                      This one also looks original, but for that price I am not really sure...

                        Integration with mysensors it's up to you, you need to work with strings
