While you can get the pairing status for an arbitrary address you cannot get a list of a connected device. This requires additional API elements but certainly does not invalidate any API for 5.2 - it is a feature request. 

If you have a patch adding this please submit (to dev branch) . Otherwise please file a Jira item for it.

LBNL I have a question. While it is technically possible to do this I am somewhat at a loss for what use case I might need this. That's why it didn't even occur to me to expose those API elements until about 1-2 weeks ago (when somebody else asked for it). At that point it was too late for 5.2.  Any help on my use case question?
