Hello;

I observed that if a device is paired but not connected, when I send “startScan” request, it return the paired device information as a scanned device even if the device is not actually advertising, is it the expected behavior ? if yes, how can I scan only for advertising devices ?

Thank you.

Sorry for the late reply. Yes, paired devices are stored in the scanned device list and returned continuously is the current webOS policy. Thank you.
