Peripheral device: non-connectable advertisement while in a connected state

I want my peripheral device to act as a beacon while it is in a connected state with a master device. Is it possible to start not-connectable advertising in parallel with maintaining connected state with a central device without disconnecting it? Are there any references or examples on how to implement this functionality? Thanks!

  • This is a great news, thanks! I saw a post here mentioning 8 simultaneous connections, so if it is related, then perhaps I could have up to 7 beacons if I needed :-)

    Regarding on disconnect trigger, this a good hint! I want to keep the device connectable after it disconnects. In the current implementation my device just resets starting the default connectable advertising over again, but at some point I will want not to reset and keep the state, variables etc.
