@stereo @jorgeluis at the moment it sort of expects the companion to be already paired. And the most reliable pairing on Linux is getting the device's MAC address, going to bluetoothctl and in the interactive mode executing: pair [device MAC address]. Then you will be prompted to type the pairing PIN. Pairing via e.g. GNOME Settings doesn't work because it pairs, but without using the PIN verification, so the companion looks connected, but refuses to communicate.
It's on my todo list to support pairing with a new device, I'll have to explore if it's possible to iniciate the pairing and enforcing the PIN verification from a client using Bluez Dbus.

@stereo @jorgeluis note that it's currently in a early alpha stage. Lots of functionality missing. (I'm also planning to support USB connections, too). But if you have any feedback regarding bigger design choices such as the layout, or "why is this feature placed here, I think should be elsewhere", I'd appreciate it.
