Connecting to Bluetooth (for v3 models)
If you have a v3 model, then you will have the option to set the BLUETOOTH_ENABLE field in the options server.
If you do not see the BLUETOOTH_ENABLE option in the options server, your Time Machine software does not currently support Bluetooth. You can update to the bluetooth-capable version by downloading and flashing the new image or ordering a pre-flashed SD card.
To connect to your Bluetooth Device, you will need to need to:
-
Visit the options server and ensure that PULSEAUDIO_ENABLE is true.
-
Set BLUETOOTH_ENABLE to true.
-
Click on the Bluetooth Settings Button.
-
Scan for local Bluetooth devices.
-
Choose the device that you would like to connect to and click "Connect Bluetooth Device".
-
Return to the main options page
-
Save values, and refresh page
-
Set the Audio sink to the connected Bluetooth device.
-
Save values again.
NOTE: Bluetooth is tricky!!! It will not connect to a device which is already connected to something else. There could be a number of reasons that it does not work for you. Please let me know if you succeed in connecting a device which is not already in our list of known compatible Bluetooth devices.
