Disabling Advertising.

is there a way to disable the metawearboard so that it does not broadcast? A concern is that anybody can connect to them, and when another device is connected to it, our device cannot.

  • If the metawear doesn't advertise then it cannot be connected to. Bluetooth devices have to advertise in order to be connectable. No ad = no connect. This wouldn't make any sense as our users would think the metawear would be broken.

  • Ok then, how can i lock down the device so no one can connect to it except my application.

    That's not really how Bluetooth works. It has to be always connectable. You can obfuscate the protocol. No one should really know it's a MetaWear and use the metawear APIs unless you tell them or they are a hacker.
    Changing the device name helps a lot.
