Currently only usefully working with the [Theengs Gateway](https://gateway.theengs.io/use/use.html#details-options) **Identity Address** and **IRK** functionality, to be able to decrypt the randomly changing Bluetooth MAC address to the static identity MAC address.

Instructions on how to get the [Identity Address and IRK for an Apple Watch, iPhone, iPad or Beats Buds](https://gateway.theengs.io/use/use.html#getting-identity-resolving-key-irk-for-apple-watch-iphone-ipad-and-airpods)

\* battery levels are only reported in 10% steps by the BLE broadcasts.

Some model versions, colors and statuses are not decoded correctly yet, due to the various models, colors and generations. In such a case please report your device's MQTT message with the [PUBLISH_ADVDATA option](https://gateway.theengs.io/use/use.html#details-options) set to **true**.
