Matter + BLE scanning

[sfemat]

Hi,

I see the Matter CHIP integration uses BLE for commissioning, so to advertise a ble service the documentation advises to use NUS.

What about scanning for ble devices and connecting to them?

Hi,

Amanda is out of office. So I'm replying instead.

Did you get any errors when calling bt_le_scan_start() ?

[sfemat]

Yes, that's the function that I'm trying to use and it's throwing error -5 because of BLE Set Scan Parameters UNKNOWN HCI COMMAND

Here is the matter light_bulb sample with just bt_le_scan_start() inside app_task.cpp and even flashing it on a 5340dk it throws error -5

Hi, 

NCS v2.5.0 provides the Matter Bridge feature to scan and connect BLE devices. Here is the Matter bridge application. Hope it could help.

I'm trying the Matter Bridge application and after enabling CONFIG_BRIDGED_DEVICE_BT=y and flashing on my nrf7002-dk but matter_bridge scan is not outputting any device in the console even though I have many 5340s advertising. Do I have to modify the code to be able to scan any ble device?
