https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/81465/nrf-connect-appHi. I wasn&#39;t sure under what topic to post this but it&#39;s just a generic question I suppose.

I guess one way would be to create a whitelist with the first device your peripheral connects to, and then only do directed advertising to that specific central afterwards. This is done in I.E. our <a href="https://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/topic/sdk_nrf5_v17.1.0/ble_sdk_app_hids_mouse.html">HID mouse application</a> in the nRF5 SDK, so I would suggest checking that out, and specifically&nbsp;how directed advertising is implemented.</p> <p>If this doesn&#39;t fit your use case, please try explaining more in detail what you&#39;re aiming for with your end product. I&#39;m struggling to see why not bonding is a fine solution if you just want to bond to one specific device and not allow others to do so.</p> <p>Best regards,</p> <p>Simon</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
