best mode/setup for enabling duplicates but deduping packets within certain timeframe

[scripter-co]

I have a device that receives data from another devices once every 3 minutes. it sends packets at 80ms intervals for one second.

to avoid receiving all the packets advertised over that 1 second, what's the best way to setup nimble?

• i tried using duplicates = false setAdvertisedDeviceCallbacks(callback, false) and setting a low value of setMaxResults
• setMaxResults(0) and duplicates = true and then setting a flag within onResult e.g. isChecking to ensure we only get 1 packet until we've processed it then reset using esp_timer_create after N seconds.

the former caused advertisements to be lost (sometimes by 15 minutes) and the later caused what I think is a memory leak (although haven't had time to look into this with certainty)

any expertise on this would be appreciated

i've got my answer here

i think this combined with restarting every ~20 minutes to avoid the memory leak discussed here should do for now.
