All Bluetooth devices constantly change channels automatically to prevent any possible interference.<\/p>\n<p>Mac OS does provide APIs to access and partially manage Bluetooth devices. However, there&#8217;s no way to determine the signal strength of devices you are not connected to, and you can only manage visible devices (not the hidden ones).
