I have a mystery device that is listed as "connected" (both in System Profile and in the bluetooth menu) but does not appear as a paired device (i.e., that I could delete):

Devices (Paired, Configured, etc.):
54-30-5f-4d-f6-fb:
Address: 54-30-5F-4D-F6-FB
Random Address: Yes
Resolvable Address: Yes
Services:
Paired: No
Configured: No
Connected: Yes
Class of Device: Low Energy
AFH: On
AFH Map: 1f
RSSI: -42
Role: Peripheral
Connection Mode: Active Mode
Interval: 0 ms


How do I go about identifying what this mystery device is, and how do I get rid of it? Importantly, there are other entries for my trackpad, keyboard, and phone, so I have no idea what it is.

Thanks in advance,
 
Just here to say I have this too! I think it must be a bug.

I looked up the device MAC address here: http://aruljohn.com/mac/54E43A and it shows it as belonging to Apple.

It's not my iPhone or iPad but it may be the actual Bluetooth stack for my Mac mini - haven't checked yet. I also wondered if it was connected to running VMware Fusion - do you have this installed?

I'm running 10.10.3 on a late 2012 Mac mini.

I did try searching for your mystery address on the site I linked but nothing came up - but the addresses do both start 54-

Anyone else got this too?
 
Turns out its my iPad so I suspect yours is something similar too. Why its there I don't know as I have never paid it with my Mac. I suspect its not meant to be visible as its used for handoff etc.
