Hi Sören,
Thanks! I agree that showing the device MAC address would be very helpful. If it were easy/possible to do this, I would have already added this feature. Unfortunately, the CoreBluetooth APIs which this application uses do not expose a device's MAC address. I've searched for a way around using even private APIs, but have found no leads.
I know that part of the reason MAC address is not exposed is because some devices (Apple devices in particular) use a feature of Bluetooth Low Energy that allows a peripheral's MAC address to be masked. This works by the peripheral changing its MAC address in a manner understood by the central/client. So even if the MAC address were shown, it would not necessarily be accurate.

Hi Joe,
first of all thanks for the reply the explanation. I knew that Apples disabled Bluetooth MAC and even Network MAC detection on iOS, but I didn’t know that they stopped supporting that on macOS too. I mean you would think they would like the abbreviation. 🤔
In the field of home automation that’s a pretty common task, I need to know the MAC address of every cheap BLE plant sensor, thermometer or bulb to send commands to it.
Glad to have my 50€ Fire to get me the features my 1.000€ devices are missing 🙄
