Tutorials to filter bluetooth devices by manufacture code (AltBeacon)

[cjs102]

Hi! Hope you are all doing well,

I'm having trouble making a project from scratch, I'm basically trying to filter bluetooth devices by manufacture code but I'm afraid that I can't find a simple way to scan, filter, and obtain the payload of those devices... I was using the nRF Connect SDK but couldn't make any progress so I moved to the nRF SDK and so far i have been able to scan all the devices and filter by uuid, but It's getting quite hard to get the manufacture code, so my question is:

¿Is there any example code/tutorial/explanation/manual/book that can guide me trought the hole process of getting the manufacture code?

Thanks in advance,

Cheers.

Hello,

There is no way to directly filter based on the manufacturer specific datafield's company identifier value, unfortunately.
However, you can filter the responses based on UUID or name, and then check the returned advertising report for a matching company identifier in your application.
Will the device you are looking for advertise anything else than just the manufacturer specific datafield?

For completeness: in the NCS SDK you could use the bt_data_parse function to parse the received advertising data for the manufacturer specific data.

Best regards,
Karl
