If I was to install a Bluetooth dongle into one of the eisy USB ports would it be able to add devices that are open in the environment?

I got no response from Govee Developer on adding Temp Sensors so I found a work around but only if eisy makes use the Bluetooth.

This question is probably best served by contacting UDI directly.

If it's not a normal option then nobody here will know and would just speculate.

I know eisy has Bluetooth but I haven't seen any noderservers that take advantage of it. I suspect whatever device you're trying to use would need a specific nodeserver so that the eisy knows how to interpret the information it was receiving

Appears it doesn't need a node server. HA was able to detect the devices in the wild using BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy). They broadcast on open BLE Network without API.  These are the Govee Temp/Humidity Sensors that I wanted here in eisy, but got no response from the node sever developer.

You mentioned using eisy not HA. Their setup is probably different than Udi's which is why it worked. Glad you got it working with your system

Right, the idea is to have eisy being able to use the Bluetooth to detect BLE devices. That's what I would like to see.
