Thanks. I've just ordered me one of those bt-sensors from TI, maybe I 
will be able to make it HID over GATT aware to play a bit with it. The 
BT spec for HID over GATT doesn't talk about sensors, but if I will find 
a way to program the device without buying more hw, I will have a look 
if it is possible. ;)
