Is node-bleacon always passive? (node-bleacon battery life implications?) about node-bleacon

[sandeepmistry]

Hi @T-X,

noble (which node-bleacon) uses always does an active scan. However, estimote stickers do not respond , they only support passive scanning. I would definitely say it's on the Estimote sticker side, my stickers have died as well.

Hi @sandeepmistry. Thanks for your response again! Can you tell me how often noble performs active scans?

I'll also ask the Estimote support, regarding the firmware and active scans. I'm wondering whether even though a sticker does not respond, whether this still could prevent the chip to go into sleep mode or something like this.

Hi @T-X,

noble scan parameters can be found here: https://github.com/sandeepmistry/noble/blob/master/lib/hci-socket/hci.js#L227-L246

I'm wondering whether even though a sticker does not respond, whether this still could prevent the chip to go into sleep mode or something like this.

I would not expect this to have any impact.
