  Hi Gordon,

  as you suggest, for the 'repeater' we can do this:

  NRF.requestDevice({ timeout:1000, filters: [{ name: 'Puck.js abcd' }] }).then(function(device) {
    // found
    NRF.setAdvertising({},{manufacturer:0x590,manufacturerData:[1]});
  }).catch(function(e) {
    // not found
    NRF.setAdvertising({},{manufacturer:0x590,manufacturerData:[0]});
  });
  

  And for the endpoint (to check the repeater):

  NRF.requestDevice({ timeout:1000,  filters: [{ name: 'Puck.js repeater' }] }).then(function(device) {
    // repeater found
    var originalDeviceFound = device.manufacturerData[0];
  }).catch(function(e) {
    // repeater not found 
  });
  

  Can we can extend this with several repeaters ? is MDBT42Q with Espruino JavaScript interpreter pre-installed, able to be a repeater or an endpoint ?
