This isn't actually a OE support forum, but what is the problem? The instructions aren't that hard to follow?

You don't really need to understand it, the howto lists the commands. Type them in.
As for the addon, contact the addon author - many addons have active threads on this forum. Also more info - what do you mean "refused"?
What does cat /etc/release tell you on the openelec system?

OK, the two addons by Ancalex are installed now. But it seems that these are not enough to get Bluetooth working.
Sadly, Alex doesn't seem to give any instructions as to what else is needed for the addons to work.
I'll have to contact him.

Or back to the commandline. Seriously you come here for help and then ignore what you are told.
Never mind, no helping some people.

I am not an openelec user, although I tried it a couple of times. I would go for xbmcbuntu because I don't like lockdown you get with OE. I am also familiar with ubuntu, so it is familiar.
xbmcbuntu you can install any ubuntu package, so BT should be easy (famous last words).

There would be this in pipeline
https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/369
No one knows when that will be added if at all or if it will support all blutooth devices (in principle), though when someone cannot follow instructions then I guess there is no helping those who cannot help themselves.

Try it and see. But after all this searching and asking questions you could have typed those few commands by now.

I just had the same problem, my Raspberry Pi wouldn't find my BT adapter.
The solution was actually pretty simple. On the main screen, go to System > OpenElec > Connections, scroll down to Enable Bluetooth and activate it. From then on it's pretty straightforward, just roll back once and scroll down to Bluetooth.
Let your device be visible and it should work fine.
my own OpenELEC build, as the word "squash" possibly implies?
