Bluetooth 6.0 support, with new and improved Bluetooth properties

Bluetooth 6.0 introduces a new major version of the Bluetooth Core Specification, providing more efficiency, security, and distance awareness for a more reliable device connection experience.

Similarly, we have been hard at work to enhance how we support Bluetooth as a property.

New Property Values

Previously, Bluetooth Versions and Bluetooth Profiles were provided in the single property:

Now, there are separate properties for Bluetooth Versions and Bluetooth Profiles:

Starting from December 1st 2024, new devices added will only support these new properties. The previous old property will return Unknown. This will not affect devices from before this cut-off date, but the SupportedBluetoothVersion property will no longer be maintained.

What is the benefit of these new properties?

The separation of Bluetooth profiles and Bluetooth versions allows for a more precise way to understand the ways in which devices leverage Bluetooth support.

For example, with the SupportedBluetoothProfiles property it is now possible to return all devices that support the Low Energy profile (LE), irrespective of the major version of Bluetooth.
