I need to do below things with Pi :-

  1. Convert to Bluetooth Keyboard

  2. Need to pair with my smartphone to Reject all Call and accept only whitelisted call.

I am sure I need to use HID and HFP profiles but problem is selection of compatible Bluetooth USB dongle.

I came across few usb as below :

  1. http://plugable.com/products/usb-bt4le
    Remarks: Support HID and HFP .Few threads says that Broadcom chips are bad for Pi

  2. CSR 4.0 Remarks: Cannot identify which all profiles are there. I need a help here to identify which all profile are supported.

Please help me .Advance thanks

  • Be careful with Bluetooth keyboards, I've had numerous problems with stuck keys and others.

The Plugable USB Bluetooth Dongle (Plugable support team doesn't know this .I had once contacted them to know feasibility but they gave a negative response ) works to turn Pi as Keyboard. I installed BlueZ 5 and load HID profile with help Python package called pybluez .It worked.
