Issue descriptionUserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:60.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/60.0 Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. Call navigator.bluetooth.requestDevice() 2. Check the scanning dialogue What is the expected behavior? It would be helpful to get an option to show the address of every bluetooth device in the list, especially to differentiate if there are multiple devices with the same name. What went wrong? At the moment, the address is displayed only for unknown or un supported devices. Did this work before? No Does this work in other browsers? N/A Chrome version: Version 69.0.3497.100 (Official Build) (64-bit) Channel: stable OS Version: Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS Flash Version: /

Do you have any other use cases besides trying to differentiate between two devices? For that specific use case, we think that the address is not that useful. Users usually don't know their device's address so it won't help much. That's why we added the signal strength indicator; users can move their devices closer to know which device is the one they care about. That said, last time I checked we did show the address if there are two devices with the same name. Do you find that this is no longer the case? |
