Title: How to setup a Bluetooth auto connection
Post by: kenny_w on 30 October 2017, 17:57:16
Hi again everyone, I'm trying to get my computer to automatically connect to my other computer via bluetooth, but I'm not having any luck. I'm following this thread:

https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=223949
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/bluetooth
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Bluetooth_keyboard#Automatically_enabling_a_Bluetooth_Keyboard

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, I've got this config so far:

AutoConnectTimeout = 60
ReconnectUUIDs=0000110b-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb  <- I got this from doing bluetoothctl info XX:XX:XX:XX:XX
ReconnectAttempts=4
ReconnectIntervals=1,2,4,8,16,32,64
AutoEnable=true
ExecStart=-/usr/bin/hcitool cc ${00:1A:7D:DA:71:13}

and in /etc/btkbd.conf

ExecStart=-/usr/bin/hcitool cc ${00:1A:7D:DA:71:13}
I also tried the ExecStart=/usr/bin/hciconfig one too because I have bluez-utils-compat

I don't know if this is related, but I noticed the bluetooth service isn't started although it's been added to default.

Hmmm.. I think bluetooth usually starts just fine for me... Sometimes however it won't start & I have to open up blueman from the menu.

Dang, 2 months & no one seems to know anything about this. I would really love to make it auto connect, I use bluetooth to run the ProjectM visualizers I have running on a secondary computer with two side-screens on each side of my 40" TV, ontop of my 12" speakers
