Is there a BT/BLE chip level option suggested for the Omega2+ or the Omega2S+?

The usb option could work but I'm interested in pcb integrated options for mechanical and cost savings. Something that could live on other busses like SPI, I2C etc but that would have integrated support in the kernel through bluez.

Any recommendations?

Hey Chris,

You could purchase a nRF52832 module. Then flash it with this firmware:

I then created an application that will receive the BLE data over UART. It then decodes the data and sends it over MQTT.

Making your onion I nice BLE gateway. Also the aplication will work with Bluez compatable devices.
