# DESCRIPTION

The *bluetooth* module displays information about the bluetooth adapter and its connections.

# CONFIGURATION

Addressed by *bluetooth*

*adapter-alias*: ++
	typeof: string ++

*format-device-preference*: ++
	typeof: array ++
	A ranking of bluetooth devices, addressed by their alias (name). The order is *first displayed* to *last displayed*. If this config option is not defined or none of the devices in the list are connected, it will fall back to showing the last connected device. A devices alias can be manually changed using the ```bluetoothctl set-alias``` command.

*format*: ++
