Bluetooth icon / how to keep it connected

[kovi44]

Hi guys,
to report the issue is the only way how to share some data. I spent a lot of time to solve the issue regarding disconnect just after the command was sent to timebox.

How to solve it.
using bluetoothctl part of bluez package pair and trust your device.

1. scan on
2. wait to find the timebox
3. scan off
4. pair 00:00:00:00:00 <= mac address of your timebox
5. trust 00:00:00:00:00 <= mac address of your timebox
6. quit
7. each time you want to do permanent connection use command /bin/echo -e "connect 00:00:00:00:00 \nquit | sudo bluetoothctl (instead of 00:00:00... please use mac address of your timebox)

Hope it helps

@kovi44 can you please explain more step 7?

I've managed to pair, trust and connect via bluetoothctl, but if I remain connected, the socket from CLI won't open since there is already a connection opened - (114, 'Operation already in progress').

I'm using TimeBox Mini, unfortunately I'm still unable to keep permanent connection.

Is my order correct? After doing steps 1 to 6, I run my command:
timebox.py --address xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx settime "date +\%R+\%S"
then immediately after
/bin/echo -e "connect xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx \nquit" | sudo bluetoothctl
(by the way, your example is missing the second quotation mark)

Then I get this output:

[NEW] Controller yy:yy:yy:yy:yy:yy myserver [default]
[NEW] Device xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx TimeBox-mini-audio
[TimeBox-mini-audio]# connect xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
Attempting to connect to xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
[TimeBox-mini-audio]# quit
[DEL] Controller yy:yy:yy:yy:yy:yy myserver [default]

And I get disconnected after a few seconds.
I'm on CentOS 7.7, BlueZ 5.44.
