Device Status Indicators

• ● Connected: Device is actively connected
• ◐ Paired: Device is paired but not connected
• ○ Unpaired: Device is discovered but not paired

Configuration

hyprBluetooth works out of the box with no configuration required. It uses the system's BlueZ stack through bluetoothctl commands.

Integration with Hyprland

You can bind hyprBluetooth to a key combination in your Hyprland config:

# ~/.config/hypr/hyprland.conf
bind = SUPER, B, exec, hyprBluetooth

Or create a floating window rule:

windowrule = float, ^(hyprBluetooth)$
windowrule = size 800 600, ^(hyprBluetooth)$
windowrule = center, ^(hyprBluetooth)$

Troubleshooting

Bluetooth service not running

sudo systemctl start bluetooth
sudo systemctl enable bluetooth

Permission issues

Make sure your user is in the bluetooth group:

sudo usermod -a -G bluetooth $USER
# Log out and log back in

Command not found

Ensure bluetoothctl is installed and in your PATH:

which bluetoothctl

Device won't connect

1. Try unpairing and re-pairing the device
2. Make sure the device is in pairing mode
3. Check if the device is already connected to another system
