My aim is to not need root to check phone proximity, and as bluetoothctl is not setuid, I am convinced it should be possible.

I've been fiddling with Net::DBus, but the docs are not conclusive and missing methods like list_services and list_objects.

I've been playing a bit with d-feet, but that didn't bring me any further (yet) with the correct arguments to Net::DBus. (and time lacks to keep trying).

What I had:

use 5.16.2;
use warnings;

use Net::DBus;
use Data::Peek;

my $bus = Net::DBus->find or die "Cannot connect to DBus\n";
my $hal = $bus->get_service ("org.bluez") or die "Cannot get Handle\n"
+;

Giving no die message, but a disappointing

org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.bluez was not 
+provided by any .service files

[download]

That plus

$ cat /etc/systemd/system/dbus-org.bluez.service

Made me skip digging into DBus for now


Enjoy, Have FUN! H.Merijn
