Has anyone integrated any BLE beacons into Ignition?  
I have two options:

1. Write a quick Windows 10 service using [https://github.com/andijakl/universal-beacon](https://github.com/andijakl/universal-beacon) and forward data to MQTT broker and ingest into Ignition,
2. Find a JAR that would ‘just work’ on Windows

In case there's anyone else working on this in the future I wanted to share:

[Theengs Bridge - BLE to MQTT gateway](https://shop.theengs.io/products/theengs-bridge-esp32-ble-mqtt-gateway-with-ethernet-and-external-antenna)

I can't say 100% that it will work since we're just ordering it to try now, but I'm reasonably confident it will.
