Thank you very much for the response. After reading through the BLE documentation and giving it some thought I came to the same conclusion. A custom UUID is probably the most logical solution. However, we might use manufacturer data because a custom UUID is so large. And I don't want to ask too many additional questions related to scan responses.

I understand that this is confusing.

The example is just an example, it is not following the Health Thermometer Profile specification. But this is the one that is working with the nRF Temp apps. It shouldn't use the UUID of the Health Thermometer Service, it should have used a proprietary UUID.

In the SDK we have an example called ble_app_hts, this is actually following the Health Thermometer Profile specification. It doesn't include the termperature in the advertising packet, and it is connectable. The Health Thermometer Profile is mainly for use in healthcare applications.

I recommend you to use a proprietary UUID and define the behavior yourself.
