Windows 10: BLE Pairing with Resolvable Private Address (RPA)

Hello,
I made some BLE experiments with some PCs equipped with various bluetooth 4.1 adapter and Windows 10 v.1903 build 18362.418.
I noticed that I am not able to make a bond with a BLE device that uses random Resolvable Private Address (RPA).
I am able to use correctly the device stil to the next address rotation, then I can't use it anymore.


The device works normally in Ubuntu 18.04: here I noticed that the device sends the IRK key during the bonding process, so my expectations is that Windows or driver is not able to use the IRK to resolve the random address.

Is there a way to resolve the problem?

Bluetooth Low Energy - BLE

Hi, I've seen a few questions around BLE. As I've been wanting to be able to use home-automation products with BLE, I recently contacted KEVO (Unikey) about their "interest" in developing an app for their smart lock, I got this reply back:

"With the introduction of the 8.1 OS, Windows phones have the ability to pair with most BLE devices. There are two forms of communication needed to pair. Central Communication (listener) and Peripheral Communication (talker).

Unfortunately the Windows phone only operated centrally, as do the Kevo, so pairing is not an option at this time.

We have had the same problem with Android, up until this month when the finally will be releasing Android L.

We are developeing the Android app now and we really hope that Windows will make the improvements to BLE capabilities as well."

Is above correct and if yes, should we expect WP8.1 to support this?

Regards, Finn
