undirect advertising with whitelist and peripheral name

Hi guys,

I’m using nrf51822, s130 and sdk 12.3.0…

I would like to achieve that unknown peripheral won’t find my product or at least differentiate by device name while I’m advertising with filter policy set to any or both…

So I try to perform undirect advertising with fp set to BLE_GAP_ADV_FP_ANY and set advertising data name type to BLE_ADVDATA_FULL_NAME and all smart devices are able to scan/observe for my peripheral.

Once I would like to achieve to be visible only to already paired devices I set fp to BLE_GAP_ADV_FP_FILTER_BOTH and I set adv data to 0, then I expect that non paired will still see my peripheral but with name N/A… but somehow also not paired devices are somehow able to get my peripheral name, even if I set adv data to 0…

Any suggestion what can I do about it? That not paired devices won’t see my peripheral name if I don’t include advertising name in advertising data…

About direct advertising - is useful only for 15minutes – till smart device does not change mac + there are some compatibility issues with some of smart devices…

Thank you for info!

BR, Matej
