Reduction of the BLE transmitting power possible on ESP32?

General

Is it possible to reduce the BLE transmitting power of the ESP32 by software?

Google leads here, which refers to esp_bt.h in the IDF, where I’ve found this function:

/**
 * @brief  Set BLE TX power
 *         Connection Tx power should only be set after connection created.
 * @param  power_type : The type of which tx power, could set Advertising/Connection/Default and etc
 * @param  power_level: Power level(index) corresponding to absolute value(dbm)
 * @return              ESP_OK - success, other - failed
 */
esp_err_t esp_ble_tx_power_set(esp_ble_power_type_t power_type, esp_power_level_t power_level);

So the generic answer is ‘yes’, but that depends on whether or not the default setting (which seems to be +3dBm if I followed comments right) is higher than what you want to set…
The available power levels are right here
I guess you will use ESP_BLE_PWR_TYPE_DEFAULTfor power_type, but those are defined just right above the power levels.
