Thingy external connection

[Sheldon]

In order to connect an external sensor to the available pins, will we need to create our own version of the FW in order to communicate with the sensor? Or are there generic methods to communicate?

Indeed we could look at others, however, the Thingy:52 has such great promise. A nice package, full of sensors, easy to implement, OTA FW updates, however, without being able to add custom code we cannot build upon it. As BLE mesh networks come available, we would like to have sensor networks that communicate with each other, and have the ability to work without an App. Right now we would need to build the FW, and keep it synced with Nordic to add custom code.
