 If possible, the data will be decoded and published.
 
+[OpenMQTTGateway](https://docs.openmqttgateway.com/), proposes a [web upload](https://docs.openmqttgateway.com/upload/web-install.html) binary `esp32dev-ble-mqtt-undecoded` that will publish directly to 'home/<gateway name>/BTtoMQTT` making it directly compatible with Theengs Gateway MQTTtoMQTT decoding feature.
+
+:::tip
+By default Theengs Gateway will listen to `home/+/BTtoMQTT/undecoded`, if you have several ESP32 gateways with OpenMQTTGateway undecoded, Theengs will pickup all of them and centralize the decoded BT sensor data in one place.

 ## Home Assistant auto discovery
 If enabled (default), decoded devices will publish their configuration to Home Assistant to be discovered.
 - This can be enabled/disabled with the `-D` or `--discovery` command line argument with a value of 1 (enable) or 0 (disable).
