If you look at core/btdiscovery.cpp or core/qt-ble.cpp, you will see that 
there is a QThread::msleep() function, which would probably be preferred here, 
since it should work on all platforms supported by Qt. The 1 s delay is 
clearly too long - feel free to post a PR.

I would prefer a non-polling way of doing this. It certainly can be done with 
futures, signals, etc. But then it is not a high priority for me.
