# Bluetooth Low Energy sensors

[Efento Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) sensors](https://getefento.com/product-categories/bluetooth-low-energy-sensors/) are wireless devices designed to measure and transmit data such as temperature, humidity, or other environmental parameters. These sensors communicate via Bluetooth and require an Efento Gateway to send the collected data to the Efento Cloud platform. Depending on the network configuration, users can choose between two types of gateways: [**Bluetooth–Ethernet**](https://getefento.com/product/efento-gateway-bluetooth-ethernet/) and [**Bluetooth–LTE**](https://getefento.com/product/efento-gateway-bluetooth-lte/). The Ethernet gateway connects directly to a local network via cable, while the LTE gateway uses a mobile network connection to transmit data.

Please identify which type of gateway you are using and follow the corresponding configuration instructions in the next sections.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.efento.io/efento-cloud/adding-devices/bluetooth-low-energy-sensors.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
