General issue report

Hi,

We have developed a ble mesh product with esp32 utilising esp-idf 4.4.4. I want to know is there a way to stop a ble mesh node to stop ble advertisements which can be shown in mobile phones while scanning for nearby bluetooth devices. When scanning, the mesh node is identified as "ESP_BLE_MESH" in the bluetooth scanner and I dont want it to be visible in the bluetooth scanner.

Can someone guide me as how to disable the ble advertisements of a ble mesh node?

PS: Stopping advertisements shouldn't affect my provisioning process. Its ble advertisements should only be disabled after provisioning as to avoid being visible in the bluetooth scanner

Hi, @sriha99 You can try disabling the BLE Mesh GATT Proxy Server in Component -> Config -> ESP BLE Mesh Support. to see if it meets your requirements.
