Abstract
A method of implementing unified mode Bluetooth advertisements according to one embodiment includes receiving, by a mobile device, Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) advertisement data from an access control device, wherein the BLE advertisement data includes (i) a BLE advertisement that is compliant with a HomeKit Accessory Protocol and (ii) a BLE scan response initiated by a scan request to the BLE advertisement, the BLE scan response including data to pair the mobile device with the access control device using another security protocol different from the HomeKit Accessory Protocol, pairing the mobile device with the access control device via the HomeKit Accessory Protocol and the another security protocol using the BLE advertisement data.
