Bluetooth Link Manager Protocol (LMP) versions indicate the Bluetooth Core Specification supported by a device, helping identify its feature set and compatibility. Each LMP increment aligns with a major Bluetooth release: LMP 0 for 1.0b, LMP 1 for 1.1, through LMP 14 for Bluetooth 6.0. Higher versions add capabilities such as Enhanced Data Rate, Low Energy, improved security, extended range, and lower power consumption. Checking a device’s LMP version reveals its maximum supported Bluetooth features, ensuring accurate pairing expectations and performance across diverse hardware generations.
