// . Devices with name "ExampleName".
// . Devices with name starting with "Prefix".
//
// And enables access to the battery service if devices
// include it, even if devices do not advertise that service.
let options = {
  filters: [
    {services: ['heart_rate']},
    {services: [0x1802, 0x1803]},
    {services: ['c48e6067-5295-48d3-8d5c-0395f61792b1']},
    {name: 'ExampleName'},
