I just bought a Laird BLE temp sensor (BT510) and have complete control over it. I can scan-response it with a Raspberry Pi and get the temperature and display it on a small LCD screen. The pi is also my home automation gateway and it sends this (and other data) to my cloud so I can read it from my personal website (which is password protected). The BT510 It has crazy range and has only dropped 10mV battery in 14 days. It CAN be done, because sensor makers have no interest in reporting home: costs are too high! We need more open source projects to enable people to automate their homes with a list of suppliers who provide "dumb" edge node sensors.
