You are welcome. RSSI is already showed in our demo app when you do scanning :)

Thank you for your valuable response, Now it's clear and yes I meant RSSI for the first question :)

Hi Arij,

1. What exactly did you mean by "they belong to my range" ? Did you mean RSSI ? The UUID of a node can be found in the advertising packet. If you want to filter that out, you can just modify the app and only show the device with the required UUID. By spec, you can have authentication when provisioning by blinking an LED, displaying a number or NFC for example. In this demo you can find we do blinking to authenticate.

2. Yes, it's possible. But it's not defined in spec, so there is no standard on how to send the data. You define it proprietary. We have the remote provisioning solution which is quite similar, not exactly the same though.

3. No, but you can use heart beat to see if a node is active or not. The provisioner wouldn't play any role here except for setting the interval of the heart beat. It's upto each node to keep track of other nodes.
