I was looking for a quick solution to record the Bluetooth data from a Victron Energy Blue Smart IP65 charger. Unfortunately, only now, after receiving the Theengs Bridge, I realized that it runs with the OpenMQTT gateway, while I need TheengsGateway to read the encrypted data. So, I've been forced to switch to a Raspberry Pi and can't use the bridge for now. Will you also support decryption on the bridge in the future? Apart from that, setting the bridge up was very simple, and I like the device. Unfortunately, I don't have a specific use case for it yet.
Hello Christian,
Yes this is planned, we have already decryption for a battery monitoring device (BM2) and we will add it for the Victron compatible devices.
I will keep you updated when we have a test version if you are interested.

I have Xiaomi Miflora sensors on my garden. It was impossible to connect them through my bluetooth USB stick. Thanks to the Theengs bridge, I see all of them and can create automations in Home Assistant.
Works well and has a good range, you do need to have a reasonable level of technical prowess it’s not quite plug & play, yet…. The price was so attractive it was not worth the time and effort to build my own as I may have done in the past.
