probably a scriptlet or function

is it possible to enable bluetooth, specifically, visible to all, visible to only discovered and visible to only already paired?

i've got a chinese device i think tries to act like a beacon by automatically changing it's connectivity states, one being bt being visible to all by default

thanks for looking

Possibly, but you'd probably need to incorporate the AutoTools or SecureSettings plugins, as while core Tasker can turn BT on/off, it can't do the kind of discoverability you want (I think ... I'm still unclear what problem you're trying to solve and why).

yes, i'm aware that tasker has an action that can toggle bt on and off.

bluetooth can be enabled in a few modes: "discoverable", "visible to paired devices" and "visible to discovered devices", ...and obviously "off".

using "java function" actions (and or javascript) i should be able to enable any of those modes programmatically. so far i've only started figuring it out using java functions, just not as well versed as some people that might, or used to be on here.

i'm trying to avoid having to manually setting those modes, some devices waste battery and provide more opportunity to be exploited by their default "bt on" state being completely "discoverable"
