Outstanding! Very cool.

On a lot of IoT projects, it's easier to create a "functional" software simulator for the hardware part so the mobile and cloud people can get going without having to wait for test hardware. Those simulators work at the level of emulating BLE or WiFi/API commands. Once you have hardware, the simulators are only used in CI/CD testing.

Where I can see this coming handy is instead of a "functional simulator" to actually have real firmware running for each mobile or back-end dev and CI/CD runner.
