ELENKER Nut Tag

So I received a ELENKER Nut Mini Tag for Christmas and I was thinking about the possibilities with home automation. This really stirs up my confusion as to how Bluetooth will fit into HA. Some people don’t like the idea of a hub, whereas I feel the home needs a brain and a central point of contact, but how is my SmartThings hub ever supposed to talk to a device like this. Have any strides been made with BLE’s mesh standards, specifically to be used for HA? Just re-stirring the pot as I feel it’s not even half way baked, if you could bake something in a pot…

There’s no IFTTT integration btw, even if there was a android / iOS device would have to be in the house, almost as as another hub if there were many. Now as much as I like the idea of a hub, there should only need to be one in my opinion.
