[quote user=""]Right now, the device advertises with BLE_GAP_ADV_TYPE_CONNECTABLE_SCANNABLE_UNDIRECTED, but I see no option for connectable + nonscannable + undirected.[/quote]
&lt;p&gt;There is unfortunately no such type, with connectable, unscannable and undirected advertising.&lt;br /&gt;You could use any of &lt;a href="https://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/topic/com.nordic.infocenter.s132.api.v7.3.0/group___b_l_e___g_a_p___a_d_v___t_y_p_e_s.html"&gt;the specified advertising types&lt;/a&gt;. In your case, could it be an option to use the connectable, unscannable, &lt;em&gt;directed&lt;/em&gt; advertising type?&lt;/p&gt;
[quote user=""]An option could be BLE_GAP_ADV_TYPE_EXTENDED_CONNECTABLE_NONSCANNABLE_UNDIRECTED, but i&amp;#39;m not sure if that requires BLE version 5+.[/quote]
&lt;p&gt;Extended advertising is indeed a BLE 5 feature, you can &lt;a href="https://blog.nordicsemi.com/getconnected/bluetooth-5-advertising-extensions"&gt;read more about it in this blogpost&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Best regards,&lt;br /&gt;Karl&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
