I am trying to see if my bluetooth is connected to my app or not. I set it up so that when I click the bluetooth button it changes the “Record Target Actions” to the device name. When I click it, it changes it to unknown and not my bluetooth device. How would I get it to show that its connected to a bluetooth device? Am I using the right connect block?

You are trying to connect using a `Device ID` but you are supplying a `Device Name` so device connection will fail anyway.

I looked up my device ID on lightblue and it was (Daniel’s AirPods). I’m kind of lost. If someone could explain it to me that would be great. I would just like to see if my bluetooth device is connected with my app to be able to send commands to it.
