Auto reconnect to devices

[KDederichs]

Missing feature

Auto reconnect to Bluetooth devices if they're nearby.

Justification

As I'm slowly chipping away at the iOS app I noticed that the iPhone periodically looses the "Connected" status and I have to go to the Bluetooth settings again to tap the BLE.

It's a bit of an annoyance that you manually have to ensure the device is actually connected before you can actually use the app.

Workarounds

Manually connecting it again if you know you'll need to use a password now

That's a tricky one, as it's actually the phone that connects to the Mini BLE and not the other way around :/

Hmmm that's annoying. I'd assume Apple does some stuff in regards to their hardware then? Cause those auto connect when near, so I assumed it might be possible for other devices as well.

biggest issue if what if multiple devices are close by that are paired, e.g. phone laptop and tablet. how would the MP choose which to connect to? this is an annoying issue on my headphones too and cause quite a headache

apples airpods are kinda special as they iirc use a special protocol and apple accounts to send a request to all nearby devices where you then can choose which one to use.

the keyboard/mouse iirc only single-pair so they can autoconnect without issue.
