Bluetooth instead of WiFi on ESP32 #267

Hi,

first thank you for this great piece of Software. I wonder if it would be possible to pair ESP32 based Devices via Bluetooth instead of WiFi?

Kind regards Stefan

I had a plan to make a bluetooth version, hoping that low-energy bluetooth would allow HomeKit devices to run on batteries. But since Espressif gave up on low-energy part, I have not incentive to do that: it's a lot of work with no apparent benefit, ESP32 devices are much less ubiquitous as ESP8266.
