-===== FAQ =====
+===== Bluetooth Protocol =====
-==== Q1. Why is the Bluetooth API not public? ====
+  * https://community.victronenergy.com/questions/187303/victron-bluetooth-advertising-protocol.html
-Making the bluetooth API an official public one would mean that we can’t change it as simply as we can today; and also it means that we’ll get questions about it: bluetooth is not simple. Far more complicated than a serial port.
-And then only our developers will be able to answer them: taking away development resources. Hence we chose to not make the Bluetooth API public.
