[Feature Request] Rename bluetooth device
wannaphong opened this issue · comments
I think if I have many watch (same model), I want to rename bluetooth for my watch. It needs to rename bluetooth for connect my watch.
You can do this via a command-line command on the watch as the ceres
user: bluetoothctl system-alias mynewname
will change the name of the watch to "mynewname." Note, however that when pairing from other devices, the old name (typically the codename for the watch) might be the one advertised. I find that once connected, however, the aliased name is one that is used.
Alternatively, you can use this command as root
as in hostnamectl --pretty set-hostname mynewname
but that changes the host name for both Bluetooth and WiFi.
