Very nice - will you be prepared to share that at some point ? I could see some good use cases for this - i was previously - playing around with the Monitor stuff from HA - but was not really comfortable with it just being a Bash script.

I thought it would be better to make a separate topic [here](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/setting-up-an-ibeacon-scanner-using-the-gatt-protocol-for-bluetooth-le/16053)

@kuema 🙂  
I guess you have already worked this out, this is then maybe just an example of how I just configured a esp32 device as an iBeacon scanner according to your idea

Ordered a couple of esp32 devices from here: [https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32996463686.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.461e4c4ddEXHi2](https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32996463686.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.461e4c4ddEXHi2)

Used this esp project: "A BLE to MQTT bridge running on an ESP32"

> A BLE to MQTT bridge running on an ESP32. Contribute to shmuelzon/esp32-ble2mqtt development by creating an account on GitHub.

The result:

Yes, I think I even tried the same project, but hit some issues with my ESP32 boards. Also spare time is in high demand these days, but I plan to continue soon. 🙈

Nice Raspberry rack by the way 🤓
