Methods
-------

void Connect()
``````````````

	Connects all profiles the remote device supports that can be connected
	to and have been flagged as auto-connectable. If only subset of profiles
	is already connected it will try to connect currently disconnected ones.

	If at least one profile was connected successfully this method will
	indicate success.

	For dual-mode devices only one bearer is connected at time, the
	conditions are in the following order:

	1. Connect the disconnected bearer if already connected.

	2. Connect first the bonded bearer. If no bearers are bonded or both
	are skip and check latest seen bearer.

	3. Connect last seen bearer, in case the timestamps are the same BR/EDR
	takes precedence, or in case **PreferredBearer** has been set to a
	specific bearer then that is used instead.

	Possible errors:

	:org.bluez.Error.NotReady:
	:org.bluez.Error.Failed:
	:org.bluez.Error.InProgress:
	:org.bluez.Error.AlreadyConnected:

void Disconnect()
`````````````````

	Disconnects all connected profiles and then terminates low-level ACL
	connection.

	ACL connection will be terminated even if some profiles were not
	disconnected properly e.g. due to misbehaving device.

	This method can be also used to cancel a preceding Connect call before
	a reply to it has been received.

	For non-trusted devices connected over LE bearer calling this method
	will disable incoming connections until Connect method is called again.

	Possible errors:

	:org.bluez.Error.NotConnected:

void ConnectProfile(string uuid)
````````````````````````````````

	Connects a specific profile of this device. The UUID provided is the
	remote service UUID for the profile.

	Possible errors:

	:org.bluez.Error.Failed:
	:org.bluez.Error.InProgress:
	:org.bluez.Error.InvalidArguments:
	:org.bluez.Error.NotAvailable:
	:org.bluez.Error.NotReady:

void DisconnectProfile(string uuid)
```````````````````````````````````

	Disconnects a specific profile of this device. The profile needs to be
	registered client profile.

	There is no connection tracking for a profile, so as long as the
	profile is registered this will always succeed.

	Possible errors:

	:org.bluez.Error.Failed:
	:org.bluez.Error.InProgress:
	:org.bluez.Error.InvalidArguments:
	:org.bluez.Error.NotSupported:

void Pair()
```````````

	Connects to the remote device and initiate pairing procedure then
	proceed with service discovery.

	If the application has registered its own agent, then that specific
	agent will be used. Otherwise it will use the default agent.

	Only for applications like a pairing wizard it would make sense to have
	its own agent. In almost all other cases the default agent will handle
	this just fine.

	In case there is no application agent and also no default agent present,
	this method will fail.

	Possible errors:

	:org.bluez.Error.InvalidArguments:
	:org.bluez.Error.Failed:
	:org.bluez.Error.AlreadyExists:
	:org.bluez.Error.AuthenticationCanceled:
	:org.bluez.Error.AuthenticationFailed:
	:org.bluez.Error.AuthenticationRejected:
	:org.bluez.Error.AuthenticationTimeout:
	:org.bluez.Error.ConnectionAttemptFailed:

void CancelPairing()
````````````````````

	Cancels a pairing operation initiated by the **Pair** method.

	Possible errors:

	:org.bluez.Error.DoesNotExist:
	:org.bluez.Error.Failed:

array{array{byte}} GetServiceRecords() [experimental]
`````````````````````````````````````````````````````

	Returns all currently known BR/EDR service records for the device. Each
	individual byte array represents a raw SDP record, as defined by the
	Bluetooth Service Discovery Protocol specification.

	This method is intended to be only used by compatibility layers like
	Wine, that need to provide access to raw SDP records to support foreign
	Bluetooth APIs. General applications should instead use the Profile API
	for services-related functionality.

	Possible errors:

	:org.bluez.Error.Failed:
	:org.bluez.Error.NotReady:
	:org.bluez.Error.NotConnected:
	:org.bluez.Error.DoesNotExist:

Properties
----------

string Address [readonly]
`````````````````````````

	The Bluetooth device address of the remote device.

string AddressType [readonly]
`````````````````````````````

	The Bluetooth device Address Type. For dual-mode and BR/EDR only devices
	this defaults to "public". Single mode LE devices may have either value.
	If remote device uses privacy than before pairing this represents
	address type used for connection and Identity Address after pairing.

	Possible values:

	:"public":

		Public address

	:"random":

		Random address

string Name [readonly, optional]
````````````````````````````````

	The Bluetooth remote name.

	This value is only present for completeness. It is better to always use
	the **Alias** property when displaying the devices name.

	If the **Alias** property is unset, it will reflect this value which
	makes it more convenient.

string Icon [readonly, optional]
````````````````````````````````

	Proposed icon name according to the freedesktop.org icon naming
	specification.

uint32 Class [readonly, optional]
`````````````````````````````````

	The Bluetooth class of device of the remote device.

uint16 Appearance [readonly, optional]
``````````````````````````````````````

	External appearance of device, as found on GAP service.

array{string} UUIDs [readonly, optional]
````````````````````````````````````````

	List of 128-bit UUIDs that represents the available remote services.

boolean Paired [readonly]
`````````````````````````

	Indicates if the remote device is paired. Paired means the pairing
	process where devices exchange the information to establish an
	encrypted connection has been completed.

boolean Bonded [readonly]
`````````````````````````

	Indicates if the remote device is bonded. Bonded means the information
	exchanged on pairing process has been stored and will be persisted.

boolean Connected [readonly]
````````````````````````````

	Indicates if the remote device is currently connected.
	A PropertiesChanged signal indicate changes to this status.

boolean Trusted [readwrite]
```````````````````````````

	Indicates if the remote is seen as trusted. This setting can be changed
	by the application.

boolean Blocked [readwrite]
```````````````````````````

	If set to true any incoming connections from the device will be
	immediately rejected. Any device drivers will also be removed and
	no new ones will be probed as long as the device is blocked.

boolean WakeAllowed [readwrite]
```````````````````````````````

	If set to true this device will be allowed to wake the host from
	system suspend.

string Alias [readwrite]
````````````````````````

	The name alias for the remote device. The alias can be used to have a
	different friendly name for the remote device.

	In case no alias is set, it will return the remote device name. Setting
	an empty string as alias will convert it back to the remote device name.

	When resetting the alias with an empty string, the property will default
	back to the remote name.

object Adapter [readonly]
`````````````````````````

	The object path of the adapter the device belongs to.

boolean LegacyPairing [readonly]
````````````````````````````````

	Set to true if the device only supports the pre-2.1 pairing mechanism.
	This property is useful during device discovery to anticipate whether
	legacy or simple pairing will occur if pairing is initiated.

	Note that this property can exhibit false-positives in the case of
	Bluetooth 2.1 (or newer) devices that have disabled Extended Inquiry
	Response support.

string Modalias [readonly, optional]
````````````````````````````````````

	Remote Device ID information in modalias format used by the kernel and
	udev.

int16 RSSI [readonly, optional]
```````````````````````````````

	Received Signal Strength Indicator of the remote device (inquiry or
	advertising).

int16 TxPower [readonly, optional]
``````````````````````````````````

	Advertised transmitted power level (inquiry or advertising).

dict ManufacturerData [readonly, optional]
``````````````````````````````````````````

	Manufacturer specific advertisement data. Keys are 16 bits Manufacturer
	ID followed by its byte array value.

dict ServiceData [readonly, optional]
`````````````````````````````````````

	Service advertisement data. Keys are the UUIDs in string format followed
	by its byte array value.

bool ServicesResolved [readonly]
````````````````````````````````

	Indicate whether or not service discovery has been resolved.

```````````````````````````````````````

	The Advertising Data Flags of the remote device.

dict AdvertisingData [readonly]
```````````````````````````````

	The Advertising Data of the remote device. Keys are 1 byte AD Type
	followed by data as byte array.

	Note: Only types considered safe to be handled by application are
	exposed.

	Possible values:

	:<type>:

		<byte array>

	Example:

		<Transport Discovery> <Organization Flags...>
		0x26                   0x01         0x01...

array{object, dict} Sets [readonly, experimental]
`````````````````````````````````````````````````

	The object paths of the sets the device belongs to followed by a
	dictionary which can contain the following:

	:byte Rank:

		Rank of the device in the Set.

string PreferredBearer [readwrite, optional, experimental]
``````````````````````````````````````````````````````````

	Indicate the preferred bearer when initiating a connection, only
	available for dual-mode devices.

	When changing from "bredr" to "le" the device will be removed from the
	'auto-connect' list so it won't automatically be connected when
	adverting.

	Note: Changes only take effect when the device is disconnected.

	Possible values:

	:"last-seen":

		Connect to last seen bearer first. Default.

	:"bredr":

		Connect to BR/EDR first.

	:"le":

		Connect to LE first.
