This is part of the cross-platform work for bluetuith, and is essentially a demo of the bluetooth-classic library.

This daemon provides a REST API interface to control Bluetooth Classic functions.

Features are:

• Pairing (with authentication)
• Connection (automatic and manual profile based connection)
• Object Push (Send and receive files)

And currently only on Linux, it additionally supports:

• Bluetooth network tethering (PANU/DUN)
• Media playback control (AVRCP)

It also provides an interactive API viewer (courtesy of Scalar Docs) via the "/docs" endpoint. Also, it provides an openapi command to output the entire OpenAPI specification of the REST API.

This is currently in preview (i.e. alpha).

Any feedback is appreciated.

Hello Lemmy,

This is an extension of the bluetuith TUI Bluetooth Manager project, which was initially developed for Linux, and is now being ported to Windows as well. This will allow the TUI to manage Bluetooth on Windows. Note that this is just a shim, the TUI will be ported to adapt with this shim later.

This tool offers a simple command-line interface and a socket-based interface (as an interprocess communication layer) to control Bluetooth Classic based functions, like:

• Getting adapter information, performing device discovery, setting power states
• Getting device information, pairing/unpairing a device
• Connection to a device using various Bluetooth profiles
  • The supported profiles are A2DP, MAP, PBAP and OPP
  • Each connectable profile appears as a subcommand of the connect command
  • Every subcommand has multiple functions. View the documentation for more information.

This is currently alpha stage, so do expect bugs. Any bugs can be reported in the issue tracker.

Hello Lemmy,

I am the author of bluetuith, an open-source TUI-based bluetooth manager for Linux only. I have been working on this project for over 2 years on and off, and I was wondering about extending support to other platforms as well.

To begin with, the Bluetooth Classic (BR/EDR) implementation on Linux is fairly standardized (via bluez APIs), but on other platforms, especially windows, Bluetooth APIs are finicky, and tricky to deal with, and also there is no standardized management in general.

I would like to start creating a centralized Bluetooth server or a daemon for other platforms (natively maybe), mainly Windows and Linux, which can expose relevant APIs so that clients can use them to handle Bluetooth-based operations. I know this is quite an uphill task, but I would like suggestions on how to implement it, or if anyone has a better idea, please do suggest that as well.

To summarize,
