Absurd why? Battery powered for a year pretty much rules out wifi, BLE seems pretty reasonable for the use case. The code is open source so you can use whatever you want that is BLE enabled. I have a USB BLE dongle, but plenty of widgets have BLE built in.

Or just buy the more expensive model that talks wifi and plug in a USB-c to power it.

I don't see a more expensive model with wifi and USB-C.

We are talking about the Wave Plus, no?

View-plus is basically a wave-plus with an extra sensor, usb-c power, and wifi:

It can run on batteries, but then you lose the functionality of bridging from BLE to wifi.

Thank you!
