I wish there should be an option in kde bluetooth to automatically bind a serial bluetooth device (like a gps) to rfcomm devices. At present there is no way to configure such devices with the gui, and you have to use the terminal to bind a hotplugged serial bluetooth device. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Connect a serial bluetooth device 2. 3. Actual Results: KDE Bluetooth wizard cannot handle such device. Expected Results: KDE Bluetooth wizard should give an option to add automatically or semi-automatically the expected rfcommX device.
Can you tell me which gps device are you using? Thanks.
"hcitool scan" gives me that: 00:1C:88:11:1C:AB Teleprovodnik GPS Manually I can connect to gps, and use it in linux. It would be great if there was a serial rfcomm binding wizard in bluedevil as in windows.

Is this feature implemented already, and does not work in my gps? It's a wish not a bug report.
Indeed we are not working with serial, will try to fix for next release.
I would also like to see rfcomm management from the GUI.
I would also like to see this capability so I don't have to manage rfcomm devices manually.

I would also like to have a serial connection via bluetooth shipped with KDE. I use this to connect an arduino to my linux laptop. At the moment I am using blueman to open a serial connection with the HC-05 module.
Thank you for the bug report. As this report hasn't seen any changes in 5 years or more, we ask if you can please confirm that the issue still persists. If this bug is no longer persisting or relevant please change the status to resolved.
Here (Kubuntu 22.04, Plasma 5.25.5) the issue still persists, the common bluetooth stack can't connect to my device (Columbus V900 GPS Data Logger) even before i'm able to manually use rfcomm to connect a serial port.
