This might be a query for Jake or someone with expertise in networking. I own a gadget that only links to the app through Bluetooth. I need to reach my house from afar, as Bluetooth isn’t strong enough there. Would it be feasible to connect it to my home network? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Networking essentially not needed. BT connects devices directly, so they probably use their own custom protocol. If the app sends more data, you could place a phone nearby to act as a bridge.
