Hi,

who can help me add support for the following device?

Being fairly ignorant of Bluetooth, I'm hoping for someone to guide me
through this, alternatively I'm willing to borrow my device to any
competent developer wanting to tackle this.


The "Motorola Smart Controller RZ100" is a combined telephony headset
and HID touchpad with four Android-specific buttons. It is designed to
work as a remote control for Motorola Android devices.

It is possible to pair this device with non-Motorola devices, but it
doesn't work there. When paired with a Moto G Android phone, it worked
out of the box.

You can also check out the one-star reviews at Amazon (above) for a
bunch of non-Moto-users complaining about this.

Thanks,
