I want to know if and at what time my phone connects to the bluetooth of
my car. My first thought was to try with Termux, but it seems that
Termux does not have bluetooth capabilities.
Now I could get Tasker, which possibly would do the job, but I'd like to
try Open Source solutions first.

Anybody?

As a first order approximation, you could look for presence of /dev/hidraw0

I'm sure there are better ways to do it.

I cannot find a /dev/hidraw0 or /dev/hidraw0 regardless if bluetooth is
connected or not. There is a /dev/uhid, but that is from 01-01-1970.
Can't cat it and 'file /dev/uhid' says 'character special'
