Ages old "blueproximity" Linux PAM module does much better. It just `l2ping`s the device you point to, and you can always do that after you have paired the thing. AFAIR I did pair an earpiece with a laptop, it worked fine.
- Fudgel 8y agoI've tried blueproximity but I ran into issues when Android puts Bluetooth to sleep: https://www.google.com/search?q=android+bluetooth+sleep https://www.google.com/search?q=android+bluetooth+sleep I agree that it's a dumb approach, but I made sure to mention in the docs that if you're after a secure solution, then BlueLoss probably isn't for you.
