We come out a question there, if we put many hello-sensors in one big interior area
but "Don't connect" any with 1 client master which only receives slave devices' broadcast data
and firmware put all sensor data in broadcast field and send it via broadcast channel.

If so, in 20-byte length format, we can all replace all bytes to replace with our sensor data?
Is BT client can get correct ADV or it doesn't work.

to sum up with this mechanism,

- all sensors (slave devices) put sensor data in ADV and send it out; client master can get

many ADV of different area sensor data.

- if so, client can still call other API to get MAC addr or coz broadcast format is wrong,
even free APP of handset can not scan it correctly?

Hello again.

Here is an apk for a simple Scanner app.

It should work with most of Android devices.

With this app, you should be able to see the data of the advertisement packets.

Let us know if this helped or if you need any other questions.

Thank you.

ps. I think the app is pretty simple to use, so I didn't write any directions as to how to use the app.

     If anything is confusing, let me know.

James
