Hi all,

I am trying to set up a simple HFP demonstrator using
BlueZ+oFono+PulseAudio, with a dbus client that coordinates the three of
them. Being a simple prototype, the goal is to see how they behave and
analyze how well it would all scale.

The first question that arises is quite simple. In a multi-phone
scenario (all of them connected to our PC using Bluetooth HFP), oFono
properly lists all the phones as available modems. I would like to know
whether these modems can be associated to their underlying bluetooth
device (mac address, bluez device dbus path, or whatever). I have been
looking on the available modem properties but this seems not to be
present. Could somebody confirm this or otherwise explain how it can be
done?

Have a look at the Modem.Name property, HFP_HF plugin sets this based on
the BlueZ Device.Alias property of the remote device.  Which should be
either the remote device name or the local alias.  This might actually
be enough for your purposes.

The purpose of my interest is that, depending on the use-case, the final
user would have to choose the modem (or device) manually.

Depending on the usecase you might require more information, such as the
bdaddr of the remote device.  In that case you will have to do a bit
more work, such as defining a new atom that exports the information you
require.

Thanks for your answer.

I replied to Marcel's message before reading yours so we could hopefully merge into one message thread.

One specific point to your answer: the device alias is certainly available (and in this case would satisfy the use case of manually-select-by-alias, so to speak) but that doesn't seem to scale well if you would also like to use other criteria (for example, to filter some devices depending on their icon, available services, etc.).

Regards,
Mikel
