# DESCRIPTION
The *bluetooth* module displays information about the bluetooth controller and its connections.
The *bluetooth* module displays information about a bluetooth controller and its connections.

*controller*: ++

Use the controller with the defined alias (name). Otherwise select a
random controller to display. Recommended to define when there is more

This format is used to define how each connected device with a battery should be displayed within the *device_enumerate* format replacement in the tooltip menu. When this config option is not defined, the *tooltip-format-enumerate-connected* format will be used also for the connected devices with a battery.
# FORMAT REPLACEMENTS
*{status}*: Status of the bluetooth device.
*{num_connections}*: Number of connections the selected controller has.
*{num_connections}*: Number of connections the displayed controller has.
*{controller_address}*: Address of the selected controller.
*{controller_address}*: Address of the displayed controller.
*{controller_address_type}*: Address type of the selected controller.
*{controller_address_type}*: Address type of the displayed controller.
*{controller_alias}*: Alias of the selected controller. By default equal to the
*controller_name* but can be changed by the user when there are conflicts.
*{controller_alias}*: Alias of the displayed controller.
*{device_address}*: Address of the current selected selected connected device.
*{device_address}*: Address of the displayed device.
*{device_address_type}*: Address type of the current selected selected connected device.
*{device_address_type}*: Address type of the displayed device.
*{device_alias}*: Alias of the current selected connected device. By default equal to the *device_name* but can be changed by the user when there are conflicts.
*{device_alias}*: Alias of the displayed device.
*{device_battery_percentage}*: Battery percentage of the current selected device if available. Only use in the *format-connected-battery* and *tooltip-format-connected-battery*.
*{device_enumerate}*: Show a list of all connected devices, each on a seperate line. Define the format of each device with the *tooltip-format-enumerate-connected* ++
and/or *tooltip-format-enumerate-connected-battery* config options. Can only be used in the tooltip related format options.
*{device_enumerate}*: Show a list of all connected devices in the tooltip, each on a seperate line. Only applicable in the *connected* state. Define the format of each device with the *tooltip-format-enumerate-connected* or/and *tooltip-format-enumerate-connected-battery* config options.
# EXPERIMENTAL BATTERY PERCENTAGE FEATURE
At the time of writing, the experimental features of BlueZ need to be turned on, for the battery percentage options listed below to work.
## FORMAT REPLACEMENT
*{device_battery_percentage}*: Battery percentage of the displayed device if available. Use only in the config options defined below.
## CONFIGURATION
*format-connected-battery*: ++
typeof: string ++
This format is used when the displayed device provides its battery percentage.
*tooltip-format-connected-battery*: ++
typeof: string ++
This format is used when the displayed device provides its battery percentage.
*tooltip-format-enumerate-connected-battery*: ++
typeof: string ++
This format is used to define how each connected device with a battery should be displayed within the *device_enumerate* format replacement option. ++
When this config option is not defined, it will fall back on the *tooltip-format-enumerate-connected* config option.
