Perhaps you are referring to ConnectDevice: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/bluetooth/bluez.git/tree/doc/adapter-api.txt#n154 We could perhaps introduce an optional property for the application to include the OOB data, but that should be validated by connecting and attempting to encrypt, if that fails the OOB should be discarded. > - Ryan > >> > [1] https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/bluetooth/bluez.git/tree/doc/mgmt-api.txt#n1279 -- Luiz Augusto von Dentz
