Telemetry Beacons
I have a bank of LFP batteries at home that have Bluetooth-enabled BMSes. I've written a utility for Linux that connects to them via BLE and collects their telemetry (voltage, current, SOC, etc). My utility connects to the APRS network (W2JKT-15) and sends telemetry beacons, but I would like to also be able to send telemetry beacons in VarAC. Maybe this isn't within the scope of the VarAC mission, but I just thought I'd ask if there could be a way to get that data? I could easily just TCP connect to the VARA modem and send a properly-formatted beacon, or perhaps it could be done via socket in the VarAC app? Any thoughts?

I will be starting to work soon on an API to VarAC while the first API I will develop is for Broadcasts. So you can automate sending broadcasts.
