I want to turn my computer's Bluetooth on/off using a python script. This is what I have found on the internet so far :
import os os.system("rfkill block bluetooth") But it doesn't seem to work as I have a windows computer. Does anyone know the os.system() command to on/off Bluetooth? Thanks!
There is limited Bluetooth functionality available with the Windows Runtime Python Projection. Python/WinRT enables Python developers to access Windows Runtime APIs directly from Python in a natural and familiar way.
I was able to turn the Bluetooth radio off and on with the following code:
import asyncio from winrt.windows.devices import radios async def bluetooth_power(turn_on): all_radios = await radios.Radio.get_radios_async() for this_radio in all_radios: if this_radio.kind == radios.RadioKind.BLUETOOTH: if turn_on: result = await this_radio.set_state_async(radios.RadioState.ON) else: result = await this_radio.set_state_async(radios.RadioState.OFF) if __name__ == '__main__': asyncio.run(bluetooth_power(False)) rfkill is Linux terminal cmnd tool for enabling and disabling wireless devices, so logically that doesn't work on windows.
for working on Bluetooth with python I recommend u to use PyBluez python library
here is a sample code for read the local Bluetooth device address :
import bluetooth if __name__ == "__main__": print(bluetooth.read_local_bdaddr())
