Subject: BlueZ 5 : Tool recommendation for scripts
Date: Thu, 5 Nov 2015 15:04:31 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <563B6FFF.90703@convergeddevices.net> (raw)
Hi All,
What is the recommended BlueZ 5 tool to connect a device from scripts?
'bluetoothctl' is very good in interactive mode. I tried using 'hcitool'
+ 'simple-agent'. But they do not seem to detect device unless a scan is
initiated from 'bluetoothctl' first.
hcitool scan does scan and find devices. But simple-agent returns
Exception: Bluetooth device not found.
bluetoothctl commands which does not take much time could be run from
scripts.
eg:
#!/bin/bash
bluetoothctl << EOF
power on
EOF
But starting a scan does not work, because it exits before the scan is
complete.
Many Thanks,
Tony
