Normally you would include a specific service UUID in the advertising
packet to solve this problem, and when you collect the advertising data
you can determine if the service you care about is present, which might
be less arbitrary than relying on a device name? 128-bit UUIDs do cause
a problem, but you can still fit one in the main adv. packet, or you can
optionally use the scan response for a second payload.
Just a suggestion about a fairly standard way to solve this problem
without having to connect to every device in range. :)
