bluetooth: unreliable bluetooth pairing status on balenaSound #526

Open tmigone opened 2 years ago

Describe the problem

Devices that have been previously unpaired are still retained and listed as if they were paired. This can lead to devices not being able to re-pair. Manually removing the devices using bluetoothctl or btmgmt fixes the issue.

This probably needs to be fixed upstream: https://github.com/balenablocks/bluetooth

I was facing the same problem on my bluetooth speaker setup where my bluetooth agent was: bt-agent --capability NoInputNoOutput

I fixed this problem by switching the parameters to bt-agent --capability DisplayOnly --pin ./pins.conf where pins.conf contains * * (accept any pin for any device). Now it doesn't matter how many times I unpair my phone, I can always re-pair it.

The technique is described here https://forums.raspberrypi.com/viewtopic.php?t=304434

I haven't tested it but it might be as simple as changing this line https://github.com/balenablocks/bluetooth/blob/master/bluetooth-agent#L28
