WHY?
Using Ubuntu Core devices it is not always possible to access via SSH and bluez usually doesn't start up the bluetooth at boot.
USAGE
1 - install bluez to allow bluetooth usage:
"sudo snap install bluez"
2 - check dongle compatibility
"sudo bluez.hciconfig"
the log must show up the HCI devices with their state
3 - install bluetooth autosatart
"sudo snap install bluetooth-autostart"
4- connect if needed the proper interface:
"sudo snap connect bluetooth-autostart:bluetooth-control"
Post any trouble using GitHub: https://github.com/mauringo/autostart-bluetooth-snap
basically this app runs the "hcicconfig hci0 up" command. The command is executed with 5s delay thus, any other process that needs bluetooth must use it after 5s.

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.
Snaps are discoverable and installable from the Snap Store, an app store with an audience of millions.
Snap can be installed from the command line on openSUSE Leap 15.x and Tumbleweed.
You need first add the snappy repository from the terminal. Choose the appropriate command depending on your installed openSUSE flavor.
Tumbleweed:
sudo zypper addrepo --refresh https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/system:/snappy/openSUSE_Tumbleweed snappy
Leap 15.x:
sudo zypper addrepo --refresh https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/system:/snappy/openSUSE_Leap_15.6 snappy
If needed, Swap out openSUSE_Leap_15.
for, openSUSE_Leap_16.0
if you’re using a different version of openSUSE.
With the repository added, import its GPG key:
sudo zypper --gpg-auto-import-keys refresh
Finally, upgrade the package cache to include the new snappy repository:
sudo zypper dup --from snappy
Snap can now be installed with the following:
sudo zypper install snapd
You then need to either reboot, logout/login or source /etc/profile
to have /snap/bin added to PATH.
Additionally, enable and start both the snapd and the snapd.apparmor services with the following commands:
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.apparmor
To install bluetooth-autostart, simply use the following command:
sudo snap install bluetooth-autostart
Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap.
