Find3 integration possible #4113

Has anyone looked into integration of Find3 scanner inside Tasmota? Having many tasmota's around the house this could really benefit a good internal positioning solution

Hi,

It is a nice idea, but will make your esp8266 to be in both modes AP and STATION consuming a lot more of energy due to the sleep function can not be used. Also, a lot of CPU power will be used managing both connections and several lags in the normal smart switch behaviour should occur.

I think, IMHO, that should be better to have a specific device and firmware for that.

I agree with @ascillato - This is not viable given that Tasmota is already running very tight code. Of course, you're welcome to fork the codebase and implement this on your own.

alright, thank you for your comments
