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.
