Pairing Bluetooth Devices With Passkey/password In Python - Rfcomm (linux)

I am working on a Python script to search for bluetooth devices and connect them using RFCOMM. This devices has Passkey/Password. I am using PyBlueZ and, as far as I know, this lib

Solution 1:

Finally I am able to connect to a device using PyBlueZ. I hope this answer will help others in the future. I tried the following:

First, import the modules and discover the devices.

import bluetooth, subprocess
nearby_devices = bluetooth.discover_devices(duration=4,lookup_names=True,
                                                      flush_cache=True, lookup_class=False)

When you discover the device you want to connect, you need to know port, the address and passkey. With that information do the next:

name = name      # Device name
addr = addr      # Device Address
port = 1         # RFCOMM port
passkey = "1111"# passkey of the device you want to connect# kill any "bluetooth-agent" process that is already running
subprocess.call("kill -9 `pidof bluetooth-agent`",shell=True)

# Start a new "bluetooth-agent" process where XXXX is the passkey
status = subprocess.call("bluetooth-agent " + passkey + " &",shell=True)

# Now, connect in the same way as always with PyBlueZtry:
    s = bluetooth.BluetoothSocket(bluetooth.RFCOMM)
    s.connect((addr,port))
except bluetooth.btcommon.BluetoothError as err:
    # Error handler
    pass

Now, you are connected!! You can use your socket for the task you need:

s.recv(1024) # Buffer size
s.send("Hello World!")
