Thanks, this removes some bad code but what I'm looking for is more something to be informed from the outside when the status changes. I would like to avoid polling stupidly.

site_archiver(a)lists.apple.com Delivered-To: bluetooth-dev(a)lists.apple.com This is working fine but as I noted, polling is bad. The question is: _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored. Bluetooth-dev mailing list (Bluetooth-dev(a)lists.apple.com) Help/Unsubscribe/Update your Subscription: http://lists.apple.com/mailman/options/bluetooth-dev/site_archiver%40lists.… To get the Bluetooth status, I'm currently thinking about polling (bad) the com.apple.Bluetooth.plist file and use the value for ControllerPowerState. Just before looking at the plist file, I check that there is a Bluetooth hardware to avoid looking at the file if not needed. Isn't there a way to get the Bluetooth status more dynamically with a distributed notification, SystemConfiguration Callback or something? This email sent to site_archiver(a)lists.apple.com

Detecting Bluetooth devices

site_archiver(a)lists.apple.com Delivered-To: bluetooth-dev(a)lists.apple.com Hi, Thanks in advance _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored. Bluetooth-dev mailing list (Bluetooth-dev(a)lists.apple.com) Help/Unsubscribe/Update your Subscription: http://lists.apple.com/mailman/options/bluetooth-dev/site_archiver%40lists.… I was experimenting with the IOBluetooth framework and I wanted to know if the framework has some sort of autodiscovery built in. I know there is the IOBluetoothDeviceInquiry class, but when I start the inquiry, only the start delegate method is called, and no device is found. Even though my USB Bluetooth adaptor is connected. So, I would think that I may need an NSTimer that constatly checks all the paired devices and checks if one of them or all are online. This doesn't sound like it's the way to do it, so I'm wondering if there's a better way? What I want to do is check which bluetooth devices are online and if they are not, automatically get some sort of notification that they are connected.
