I am learning as I go here, but your advice sounds right on. It appears the BLE/BT/WiFi options are laden with hardware and protocol layer complexity that slows things down and eat batteries for real-time demands.

I believe I want something that does not exist:
All with FCC approval:
Side A - like a garage door opener - simplex, batteries last. sub 20ms from sleep state.
Side B - Hears side A and does work.
Side B - Wifi/BT allows user to configure product behaviors/options on a smart phone.

In other words, side A is a dumb transmitter, where side B has both a dumb receiver, and a smart Wifi/BT transceiver. All with FCC stamp of approval. The ESP products have a CPU (with space and memory for my code) it also has FCC and BT or Wifi, but the radio architecture can not be reconfigured to detect and decode raw FSK.

Thanks,

Dan
