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
Attempting to disconnect from 00:11:22:33:44:55
