For central devices, there is no advertisement packet, so the same concept doesn&#39;t really exist.</p> <p>If the goal is to have a unique name for each device which the user may change, you will probably need to add a service with a name characteristic. If the purpose is just to inform the user that &quot;An OWN product of this model&quot; has connected, you should just use the device information service to establish what you have connected to. Also in this last case, you could use the custom service suggested first.</p> <p>Best regards,<br />Rune Holmgren</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
