Is there a less complicated way to broadcast Ruuvi sensor data onto NMEA 2000 than via SignalK

New here. Recently purchased a bunch of Ruuvi sensors to connect to my Cerbo GX to broadcast onto my NMEA 2000 network. Discovered Cerbo GX doesn’t natively broadcast such bluetooth sensor data onto NMEA200 (unlike my wired Tank 140 tanks sensors data). Apparently have to use SignalK.

Have read several posts relating to the topic. Had a quick look and play with SignalK mapping which is a little above my present level of expertise and patience (I’m used to plug and play).

Two questions;

  1. Is there any likelihood for Cerbo GX to natively broadcast bluetooth sensor data (specifically Ruuvi) to NMEA 2000 anytime soon?

  2. In the meantime, is there some sort of dummies guide, tool or script for easy SignalK Mapping, specifically mapping a handful of Ruuvi sensors to NMEA 2000? Otherwise I will gladly pay someone to hand-hold me through the process.

Actually the Cerbo publishes my Ruuvi Tag temperatures to the NMEA network, but since I’m using Raymarine MFDs, I can’t display them due to instance conflicts. You can try Changing NMEA2000 instances [Victron Energy] or Signal K NMEA 2000 Emitter Cannon (includes Raymarine mapping).
