An we send this parameter to advertise_start so that the device only starts advertising after it deletes all the bond information for it. But the use case for deleting bond information is different in different applications. If you do not use any buttons, then most like you do not need to have this erase_bonds parameter controlled by button handler, but something else.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
