<p>The UUID field is the mac address of the sensor tag, this is optional
can be used to bind to a specific SensorTag if you have more than one
active in range at the same time. (note you can only have one SensorTag
per node-red instance at the moment)</p>
<p>The topic setting is a prefix that will be pre-pended to name of the
sensor that creates the reading. e.g. <i>sensorTag/temperature</i></p>
<p><strong>NOTE:</strong> Only 1 sensorTag can be read from at a time,
if you add more than one to the canvas then only the first to connect
will work.</p>

The sensorTag library used by this node only supports using 1 SensorTag at once.
