Discoverable devices

Discoverable devices

[Àlex Fiestas]

Is there any way of knowing if a device that is ALREADY created is in 
Discoverable mode?

Calling startDiscvoer + monitor interfaceAdded/Remove works nice but that only 
works for devices that are newly discovered, not for those devices that are 
are already registered in the bus.

I read about org.bluez.Device1.Appearance  but it does not seem to have any 
value on any of my devices under any circumstance.

Am I missing something?

thanks !

The first thing that comes to mind is listening for changes in the RSSI
property, i.e. monitor the org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties.PropertiesChanged
as well.

Appearance is only present for Low Energy devices.
