Hi all,
I’m building a horticulture monitoring system using Nordic (planning around nRF54LE15). Multiple battery-powered sensor nodes (temp, humidity, CO₂, light, etc.) sending data every few minutes.
I’m unsure how to expose the data for a first MVP:
Option 1: BLE → phone
- Simple, fast to prototype
- Nordic apps (nRF Connect) are fine for testing, but not a real product
- Would require building a mobile app pretty quickly
Option 2: BLE → Wi-Fi gateway → web app
- Nodes → BLE central (gateway) → Wi-Fi → cloud/dashboard
- More complex upfront, but closer to a real product
Main doubts:
- For an MVP, would you stay BLE-only or go straight to a gateway?
- Is there any realistic way to do BLE → web app cross-platform (esp. iOS), or is a native app unavoidable?
- Any tips for handling multiple BLE nodes efficiently?
Would love to hear what you’d do for a first usable version.
Thanks!
