Abstract
Implementations set forth herein relate to sequencing connections between a peripheral device and two or more applications, which can include an automated assistant application. The connections can be sequenced such that an application designated for the peripheral device is prioritized over the automated assistant application when the peripheral device becomes available for connecting with the applications. The designated application can be, for example, a streaming application that is designated for a media streaming peripheral device, or a health application for a health monitoring peripheral device. The designated application can connect with the peripheral device via a Bluetooth Classic protocol, and thereafter provide, to other applications, an indication that confirms completion of the Bluetooth Classic connection. The other applications can, in response, initiate connecting with the peripheral device via the Bluetooth Classic protocol or Bluetooth Low Energy protocol.
