Oral B Toothbrush - BT

[Daniel Butun]

Has anyone tried using the BT on there Oral B electric toothbrush as a trigger in tasker.

I was thinking of setting up a task with a state of BT Near that loads the app.
Unfortunately, the device doesn't seem to appear in my list of devices available when it's turned on.

From what I can tell with my Oral B, its a hidden Bluetooth device (not show in android Bluetooth devices either). only the Oral B app can detect the brush since its knows exactly what the hidden device ID is. kinda like a hidden WiFi SSID.

I was guessing it would be something like that.

I found a way to get it to work. I installed the linked Bluetooth scanner app which allowed me to get the address to use in the task. Tasker by default scans BT Evey 120 secs and that's how long you clean your teeth for, so hopefully they overlap well. Big question will be if it impacts battery life searching for a hidden BT device.

I have also a Oral B Bluetooth brush, i tried also to connect to use tasker. But the BLE scanner does noet find my brush, the app alone works.

I have a Samsung Galaxy S6 edge running stock android 7..1.1 from Samsung. Any Idea how to find the bluetooth adress of the brush?
