Subject: [PATCH BlueZ 1/3] org.bluez.Device: Add Role property
Date: Thu, 8 Oct 2026 06:36:32 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261008133634.30362-2-kevin@simpleble.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261008133634.30362-1-kevin@simpleble.org>
This adds Role property which indicates whether the remote device is
the central or the peripheral of the current LE connection, so
applications can tell a central that connected to the adapter from a
peripheral the adapter connected to.
