Help! connect to device

[coduy96]

How can I connect to device if I only have mac address value? Thanks a lot!

If you know the information of the device beforehand then you can create a BluetoothDevice object yourself and use that to connect. Simple example:

BluetoothDevice myDevice = BluetoothDevice(
   id: DeviceIdentifier("MAC address"),
   type: BluetoothDeviceType.le,
   name: "Device Name",
),
await myDevice.connect();

Pre Flutter Blue 0.6.0:

BluetoothDevice myDevice = BluetoothDevice(
   id: DeviceIdentifier("MAC address"),
   type: BluetoothDeviceType.le,
   name: "Device Name",
),
FlutterBlue.instance.connect(mydevice);

On iOS you cannot connect to a device via mac address - they are not exposed to the users (https://stackoverflow.com/a/2971250/4312184). As I know, the only way to do it is to store device mac address inside an advertisement manufacturer data. At least we do it with our devices and everything working good.

I am using ^0.7.2 version and when I run on apple device my app, the logs don't show me the mac address, but I know the device mac address to connect to, the code above doesn't work for me. How can in create device in connect to it? Problem: BluetoothDevice doesn't have a default constructor. Thank you.

Does anyone have any idea how to solve this issue, I also want to connect to a specific device, and there is no longer the constructor in the BluetoothDevice class.

@WanKapef try importing this

import 'package:flutter_blue/gen/flutterblue.pb.dart' as ProtoBluetoothDevice;

and then use the ProtoBluetoothDevice.BlueoothDevice constructor.

    var protoBt = ProtoBluetoothDevice.BluetoothDevice(
      remoteId: uuid
    );
    var d = BluetoothDevice.fromProto(protoBt);
