I used bluetoothctl to pair a set of bluetooth enable hearing protectors. Since I need to do this programatically with a python script, I used the remove command to remove the device.

Now, I can't pair with the device again. If I turn on the headset with bluetoothctl running, I get the following:

[NEW] Device 1C:6E:4C:35:CC:D1 Peltor Sport 500
[CHG] Device 1C:6E:4C:35:CC:D1 Connected: no
[DEL] Device 1C:6E:4C:35:CC:D1 Peltor Sport 500
[NEW] Device 1C:6E:4C:35:CC:D1 Peltor Sport 500
[CHG] Device 1C:6E:4C:35:CC:D1 Connected: no
[DEL] Device 1C:6E:4C:35:CC:D1 Peltor Sport 500
[NEW] Device 1C:6E:4C:35:CC:D1 Peltor Sport 500
[CHG] Device 1C:6E:4C:35:CC:D1 Connected: no
[DEL] Device 1C:6E:4C:35:CC:D1 Peltor Sport 500

I've tried to connect and to pair:

[bluetooth]# pair 1C:6E:4C:35:CC:D1
Device 1C:6E:4C:35:CC:D1 not available

[bluetooth]#  pair 1C:6E:4C:35:CC:D1
Device 1C:6E:4C:35:CC:D1 not available

It seems like using the remove command is like saying "don't ever connect to this device again". Any suggestions on how to solve this problem?

    Did you put the headset back into pairing mode? Sometimes it helps to pair the device with another computer, then try again to pair with the one you want. – ubfan1 Jul 31 '19 at 18:25

    I did put it back into pairing mode but that didn't help. So, I paired it with my PC, disconnected it and tried it again using bluetoothctl and this time it worked. I would still like ot know if there is a way to solve this using bluetoothctl*. – cce1911 Jul 31 '19 at 20:02

I just had this problem, I solved it by simply scanning again :

bluetoothctl scan on
