ADAPTER PROPERTIES

string Address [ro] The Bluetooth adapter address (MAC).

boolean Powered [rw] Switch an adapter on or off. This will also set the appropiate connectable state.

boolean Discoverable [rw] Switch an adapter to discoverable or non-discoverable to either make it visible or hide it.

        If the DiscoverableTimeout is set to a non-zero
        value then the system will set this value back to
        false after the timer expired.

        In case the adapter is switched off, setting this
        value will fail.

        Note that this property only affects incoming pairing
        requests.

uint32 PaireableTimeout [rw] The pairable timeout in seconds. A value of zero means that the timeout is disabled and it will stay in pareable mode forever.

uint32 DiscoverableTimeout [rw] The discoverable timeout in seconds. A value of zero means that the timeout is disabled and it will stay in discoverable/limited mode forever.

        The default value for the discoverable timeout should
        be 180 seconds (3 minutes).

boolean Discovering [ro] Indicates that a device discovery procedure is active.
