What to expect in this example?

• This example showcases a BLE - Wi-Fi bridge to facilitate access to registered BLE devices over the cloud.
• These BLE devices are discovered by the bridge and are represented as RainMaker devices which can be seen and controlled through the iOS/Android app.
• When a parameter update is received to ESP32 over Wi-Fi from the iOS/Android app, it is mapped to the format accepted by the corresponding device and a characteristic write over BLE for is executed. This results into the actual action on the BLE device.
• For demonstration, bridging of a Syska Light and a PLAYBULB CANDLE is implemented in this example.
