Hybrid Bluetooth low energy mesh networks having proxy devices

Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for systems and methods for hybrid Bluetooth Low Energy mesh networks. Example devices may include an antenna, memory configured to store computer-executable instructions, and at least one computer processor configured to access the memory and execute the computer-executable instructions to send a message, at a first time using the antenna, to a plurality of devices in a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) mesh group, the plurality of devices including a first device and a second device, wherein the first device is a first proxy device, receive a first acknowledgment message from the first device at a second time, and receive a second acknowledgment message from the first device at a third time, wherein the second acknowledgment message is sent to the first device by the second device.
