bluetuith - An open source TUI based bluetooth manager v0.1.8 is released - eviltoast

Hello Lemmy,

Bluetuith is a TUI based bluetooth manager for Linux, that aims to be an alternative to most bluetooth managers, and can perform bluetooth based operations like:

  • Connection to and general management of bluetooth devices, with device information like battery percentage, RSSI etc. displayed, if the information is available. More detailed information about a device can be viewed by selecting the ‘Info’ option in the menu or by clicking the ‘i’ key.

  • Bluetooth adapter management, with toggleable power, discoverability, pairablilty and scanning modes.

  • Transfer and receive files via the OBEX protocol, with an interactive file picker to choose and select multiple files.

  • Handle both PANU and DUN based networking for each bluetooth device

  • Control media playback on the currently connected device, with a media player popup that displays playback information and controls.

This release contains the following new features:

  • New command-line options --adapter-states to set adapter properties and --connect-bdaddr to connect to a device on initialization
  • Block/unblock devices
  • Indefinite passkey/pincode display
  • Modifiable navigation keys
  • Display the ‘Bonded’ property for a device

I hope you enjoy this release, and any feedback is appreciated.

    This is awesome, thanks!

    I’ve been wondering what I could do with the Bluetooth in some of my headless RPi servers.
