I have a bluetooth beacon device that advertises a name depending on its configuration (connectable or not). Sadly, in Bluez, the first time it sees it while advertising its name, it caches it which is nice for future discovery. Except it doesn't because I don't want to see this name while it advertises in non-connectable state as it is "not" the same device anymore (sort of). I guess what I'm asking is if we can make Device name aware of the connectable state and only use it if it matches state when it was cached. See some btmon trace of what it looks like in both configurations: > HCI Event: LE Meta Event (0x3e) plen 42 [hci0] 5.600723 LE Advertising Report (0x02) Num reports: 1 Event type: Non connectable undirected - ADV_NONCONN_IND (0x03) Address type: Random (0x01) Address: D0:65:68:C3:6E:88 (Static) Data length: 30 Flags: 0x06 LE General Discoverable Mode BR/EDR Not Supported 16-bit Service UUIDs (complete): 1 entry Google (0xfeaa) Service Data (UUID 0xfeaa): 10de0263662e706879736963616c2d77656208 RSSI: -80 dBm (0xb0) @ Device Found: D0:65:68:C3:6E:88 (2) rssi -80 flags 0x0004 02 01 06 03 03 aa fe 16 16 aa fe 10 de 02 63 66 ..............cf 2e 70 68 79 73 69 63 61 6c 2d 77 65 62 08 .physical-web. > HCI Event: LE Meta Event (0x3e) plen 37 [hci0] 114.202975 LE Advertising Report (0x02) Num reports: 1 Event type: Connectable undirected - ADV_IND (0x00) Address type: Random (0x01) Address: D0:65:68:C3:6E:88 (Static) Data length: 25 Flags: 0x06 LE General Discoverable Mode BR/EDR Not Supported 128-bit Service UUIDs (complete): 1 entry a3c87500-8ed3-4bdf-8a39-a01bebede295 Appearance: Tag (0x0200) RSSI: -63 dBm (0xc1) > HCI Event: LE Meta Event (0x3e) plen 38 [hci0] 114.205892 LE Advertising Report (0x02) Num reports: 1 Event type: Scan response - SCAN_RSP (0x04) Address type: Random (0x01) Address: D0:65:68:C3:6E:88 (Static) Data length: 26 Name (complete): Eddystone Config:beta TX power: -18 dBm RSSI: -61 dBm (0xc3) @ Device Found: D0:65:68:C3:6E:88 (2) rssi -61 flags 0x0000 02 01 06 11 07 95 e2 ed eb 1b a0 39 8a df 4b d3 ...........9..K. 8e 00 75 c8 a3 03 19 00 02 16 09 45 64 64 79 73 ..u........Eddys 74 6f 6e 65 20 43 6f 6e 66 69 67 3a 62 65 74 61 tone Config:beta 02 0a ee ... -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-bluetooth" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
