I got a same problem with you . That is without bonding to whitelist advertising or direct advertising.

I do not see any way of doing this with Android phones using whitelist without bonding no.

I guess you may try to use RSSI to detect that a phone that are very close in proximity, and only add those to the whitelist, can that help?

Hi Kenneth,

Thank you very much.

If the address is random static we can hard code the address in the code and use the whitelist before establishing the connection. And we can establish the connection only to the pre defined address.

If the address is random resolvable (as in Android phones), then we need to use IRK and which requires bonding and hence a valid connection.

But I want to use whitelist to establish connection to the selected devices/phones only. Is there a way to do this without bonding(and hence established connection)?. My requirement is as follows.So I need to do the selection of the device ( using whitelist) at first hand(similar to the case of random static addresses ) without establishing connection.

Please shed some light on this.

Thanking you in advance.

with regards,

Geetha

Yes

Not mandatory, however highly recommended I would say to reduce development time in general.

Likely the phone is using private random address, and thereby will cycle the address at given intervals (this is due to security and privacy reasons to ensure no one can follow you around). So yes, likely the address type is why adding the gap address to the white list will not work here, instead you need to use irk for the whitelist, however that is only possible after bonding, in which case you can look at the ble hids examples which support whitelist with gap address and irk.
