based-connect ============= If you own a Bose device, you'll know that Bose Connect is not available on Linux. This program attempts to reverse engineer that app in order to give the device Linux support. Usage ----- ./based-connect [options] <address> address: The Bluetooth address of the device. Options: -h, --help Print the help message. -n <name>, --name=<name> Change the name of the device. -c <level>, --noise-cancelling=<level> Change the noise cancelling level. level: high, low, off -o <minutes>, --auto-off=<minutes> Change the auto-off time. minutes: never, 5, 20, 40, 60, 180 -l <language>, --prompt-language=<language> Change the voice-prompt language. language: en, fr, it, de, es, pt, zh, ko, nl, ja, sv -v <switch>, --voice-prompts=<switch> Change whether voice-prompts are on or off. switch: on, off -d, --device-status Print the device status information. This includes its name, language, voice-prompts, auto-off and noise cancelling settings. -p <status>, --pairing=<status> Change whether the device is pairing. status: on, off -f, --firmware-version Print the firmware version on the device. -s, --serial-number Print the serial number of the device. -b, --battery-level Print the battery level of the device as a percent. -a, --paired-devices Print the devices currently connected to the device. !: indicates the current device *: indicates other connected devices --connect-device=<address> Attempt to connect to the device at address. --disconnect-device=<address> Disconnect the device at address. --remove-device=<address> Remove the device at address from the pairing list. --device-id Print the device id followed by the index revision. Building -------- Simply run `make -j` to build the program. The executable produced will be called `based-connect`. Installing ---------- Run `make install` to install the program. The `PREFIX` and `DESTDIR` variables are assignable and have the traditional meaning. Alternatively, if you run Arch Linux, you can download it from the AUR here: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/based-connect-git/ Dependencies ------------ * BlueZ * bluez-libs on Arch Linux * libbluetooth-dev on Debian and Ubuntu Disclaimer ---------- This has only been tested on Bose QuietComfort 35's with firmware 1.3.2, 1.2.9, 1.06 and SoundLink II's with firmware 2.1.1. I cannot ensure that this program works on any other devies. Todo ---- * Implement "getters" for current headphone state * Current status of all setters currently implemented * Date of manufacturing * Get/set volume * Port to MacOS (and maybe Windows) * Firmware updates? Firmware Details ---------------- See details.txt for partly reverse engineered but unimplemented (and unknown) details.
