Great little device that opens up the ability to add devices to HA
Integration to openHAB was not easy and the webUI has a lot of improvement potentional. Finally I was able to integrate the Theengs Bridge.
After one week a reboot was necessary, because of errors.
I have BM2 battery monitors in 3 cars and a motorcycle. Also a Govee temperature and humidity sensor. I hoped that the Theengs Bridge would monitor all 5 sources, 3 in the garage, one in the room above, and one outside the garage. I had to relocate the unit to the center of the garage to get reliable monitoring of the 3 vehicles there. It now gets all except the vehicle outside. This might be a limitation of BLE, not the unit.
Gateway has worked flawlessly for a couple of weeks now. Allows the Shelly Bluetooth devices to populate data into my MQTT broker for further use in my home automation system.
