I'm trying to pair my PS3 remote with my RPi 3, through bluetoothctl. The steps I'm attempting:
- place the remote in pair mode
- run
bluetoothctl
[bluetooth]# devices
Device 00:19:C1:5A:24:7B BD Remote Control
[bluetooth]# pair 00:19:C1:5A:24:7B
Attempting to pair with 00:19:C1:5A:24:7B
Failed to pair: org.bluez.Error.ConnectionAttemptFailed
However, if I place the remote in pair mode again, and run connect
[bluetooth]# connect 00:19:C1:5A:24:7B
Attempting to connect to 00:19:C1:5A:24:7B
[CHG] Device 00:19:C1:5A:24:7B Connected: yes
Connection successful
[CHG] Device 00:19:C1:5A:24:7B ServicesResolved: yes
it connects and it works.
The issue is I can't pair it and the remote doesn't connect to the Pi from its side.
The /etc/dbus-1/system.d/bluetooth.conf configuration looks like this:
<!-- This configuration file specifies the required security policies
for Bluetooth core daemon to work. -->
<!DOCTYPE busconfig PUBLIC "-//freedesktop//DTD D-BUS Bus Configuration 1.0//EN"

If I run btmon while pairing:

I'm thinking maybe it's a policy/security setting, but I'm stuck.
