nRF Connect for Mobile: Export Advertiser Settings

I have cloned a few beacons with nRF Connect and use the app to advertise these when testing our beacons and apps. It is (to my best knowledge) not possible however, to export these advertiser settings and transfer them to another phone (with the nRF Connect app installed).

Is this a feature planned for the future? Is there a way to transfer the settings manually from phone to phone?

Thank you for answers and best regards.

  • Okay, seems like I misunderstood your question in the initial post. Sorry about that!

    You can only clone a device that you're connected to, so you can only clone what's on the GATT table. You may click on the raw button on the listed device that's on the scanner. Here you'll see the data that's advertised. If not, click "more" and you should see a history of advertisement packets and received and data.

    Best regards,

    Simon

  • I do not have problems cloning an entry (btw you can also clone entries of BLE Advertisements which are by design non-connectable).

    Let me explain in more detail what I want to achieve:

    1. I have an advertiser sending BLE advertisements (e.g. iBeacons)
    2. Using an android phone and the nRF Connect App, I scan for the BLE Advertisement, select it and click "Clone" (see yellow marking in the screenshot):
    3. In the tab "Advertiser" of the app, I now have the cloned advertisement which I can transmit by using the slider that is shown next to the entry (see screenshot below)

    What I want to do is to save/export that cloned advertisement and transfer it to another Android smartphone so that it can be advertised from that phone aswell.

    I hope this clarifies my question - I am looking forward to any solution proposed.
