Instead, multiple receivers can listen for events by listening for changes in the advertising packet.

The other type is my custom advertising packet. Both of these have the same MAC address. I believe Bluez is filtering duplicates from the same address within each 1 second window. I am getting a random sampling of either the firmware advertising packet or my custom advertising packet once per second. > > I’m using Pybluez[ble] to use Bluez. This is the scratch script I have running so far: https://gist.github.com/bridger/83fc2e9c60fd07d925b0bec80c47acab I tried using LE_SET_SCAN_PARAMETERS to change the scan interval and window but this didn’t seem to have an effect. > > If this is a bad idea, let me know. I liked the simplicity of not pairing but maybe I’m headed in the wrong direction.
