I also think the same way — I am using a system in Android with BT
connectivity and it goes bad in scenarios that relates to real-time —
such as when the web app is trying to show or gather the stream of
data from the external system apparatus — think of a beer brew system
apparatus.

If turns out BT is easier, I would probably hack the script to
relaunch itself and have hard coded passwords and so on — not much
different of the approach which I think WPA supplicant / network
management apps do in Linux with WIFI.
