Implementation Recommendations
It would be nice if the Discoverability had a timeout value, something similar to what was suggested about the silent profile timeout.
Unresolved Issues
In up to and including Neo1973, Phase 2 hardware, bluetooth cannot wake the CPU from sleep. This means that the CPU has to be on, which limits battery life to around 48 hours maximum listening to bluetooth.
