My Linux device contains 3 dongles (class 1,2,3). I want to select one of them for device discovery (user may select which to use via a GUI). Is there a way to select hci0,1,2 through code?

Al my tests with socket.bind did not work.

Any tips?

Thanks in advance!

It seems to be not supported feature.

You could change line 20-21 in: https://code.google.com/p/pybluez/source/browse/bluetooth/bluez.py to def discover_devices (duration=8, flush_cache=True, lookup_names=False, lookup_class=False, dev_id=-1): sock = _gethcisock (dev_id)

and then in script use it like: discover_devices(dev_id=YOUR_DEV_ID)

Let me know if it helps, if we can make it cross platform then i will make change in sources.

Thx! I will try and let you know.

Kind regards,

Mart

Ok I have a fix for that, but it was not as simple as I thought, its on new branch: https://code.google.com/p/pybluez/source/list?name=issue-77 Please test it and I will merge to master

Thanks

Thanks for your great effort! I am not behind my pc at the moment. Will test and give you feedback asap!
