This should only need to be done on the gateway-wifi-setup side: WebThingsIO/gateway-wifi-setup#60

So the user will never be able to turn the broadcast off?

I opened this here too because initially I thought that after the user manages to reach the gateway maybe he would want to turn it off, but honestly, I like it always on for marketing purposes and in case he forgets or etc.

It'll be on until the gateway is rebooted. I don't see it being a huge issue, but it would be pretty easy for us to take the Bluetooth interface back down after the user sets up their domain and such.
