A drop-in replacement for esp32_ble_beacon that uses NimBLE-Arduino stack (library) to conserve heap and code memory requirements.
Default esp32_ble_beacon implementation uses ESP32 Bluedroid Bluetooth implementation which has much higher heap and code memory requirements due to it being a dual stack implementation (Bluetooth Classic and Bluetooth Low Energy).
Although ESPHome conserves memory by freeing unneded Bluetooth Classic memory, the resulting memory consumption is still significantly higher than that of NimBLE-Arduino library.
This is a drop-in replacement for esp32_ble_beacon. Please see ESP32 Bluetooth Low Energy Beacon for details.
