Hello @ocorbo  
You need to add a condition.  
Please check an example here: [Filter and connect to a specific Bluetooth device from the List Viewer - Questions about Thunkable / BLE / BlueTooth - Community](https://community.thunkable.com/t/filter-and-connect-to-a-specific-bluetooth-device-from-the-list-viewer/2476943/6)

Hi  
Before you the “create row” block, a condition must be added.

hi, i added the condition but it still gives me all the nearby bluetooth devices in my list. I feel like the condition works but then the list is filled with all the bluetooth devices, not just the one that contains ‘pdstal’. See the output. how could i have a list with just devices that contains ‘pdstal’ in their name ?

Hello @ocorbo  
Thank you for sharing screenshots  
There is an issue with the condition.  
Could you please change it like this?
