I agree! I am curious if this is all done on the device, or is somehow
reliant on their cloud. I guess I can do some testing with airplane mode
on.

At some level, this seems like just another API that can help in the
discovery process, if it is available on the device, but not the true,
open chime protocol I hope we can all still collectively develop.
