Scan request to a specific MAC?

Open SteidlD opened this issue 4 years ago • 0 comments

Hi,

I'm using your version of noble on my homebridge plugin (https://github.com/SteidlD/homebridge-inkbird-bt-thsensor). I use cyclic scan requests in order to get the manufacturer specific data (contains everything I need) in the scan response of a specific BLE device (I know the MAC address!!). So I don't need to establish a connection.

Now I was looking for a way to only send the scan requests to the one device with this MAC address (save battery on the other devices). Tried to read me through your code, but got lost on my way...

  • Is this generally possible?
  • Or is this always done for all devices automatically by the BLE controller chip itself?
  • Can this be done with this module?
  • How?

Thanks in advance.
