Shortcomings
|
||||
------------
|
||||
|
||||
While Bluedevil can handle most basic operations, some tasks need to be completed via the command line. Here are some common tasks:
|
||||
|
||||
Listing Paired Devices
|
||||
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
||||
|
||||
You can list the devices that are already paired by running the following:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code::
|
||||
|
||||
$ bt-device -l
|
||||
Added devices:
|
||||
FOO BAR (00:11:22:33:44:55)
|
||||
|
||||
Connect to Paired Device Manually
|
||||
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
||||
|
||||
To connect to `FOO BAR`, you would run:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code::
|
||||
|
||||
$ bluetoothctl connect 00:11:22:33:44:55
|
||||
Attempting to connect to 00:11:22:33:44:55
|
||||

|
||||
Connection successful
|
||||
|
||||
Disconnect From Paired Device Manually
|
||||
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
||||
|
||||
To disconnect from `FOO BAR`, you would run:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code::
|
||||
|
||||
$ bluetoothctl disconnect 00:11:22:33:44:55
|
||||

|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
More Commands
|
||||
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
||||
|
||||
Running the following will give you many more options for configuration via the command line:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code::
|
||||
|
