Action proposal: Get Bluetooth Devices

[jsiegenthaler]

Description

Get audio playback destination works for Bluetooth audio devices, but sometimes I wish to see if another Bluetooth device is paired and connected.

Can you make an action that returns a list of Bluetooth paired devices, and the device status and type?

Status = Connected/Not Connected Device Type = the device type as reported by the system (audio device, heartrate monitor, keyboard, etc)

Thanks! Great App!

Yeah. I will look into it. I just did a release yesterday, so it will be a while until I get to this.

This is what I was hoping to find. When I connect to power, I want to set my Focus based on whether a certain device is connected. (e.g., if my motorcycle helmet is connected, I want it to turn on Driving when it connects to power)

I can do all of that except detect whether the device is connected or not...

I was unable to find out how to get the device type, but I think the most common use-case is to just check for known devices.
