It only works while the glasses are in pairing mode. This is useless.

  I'm not sure why you think that, bluetooth devices often broadcast their presence even when not in pairing mode
  it's even on the site
  > Most pairs keep advertising while worn, so you can usually hear them, but a few standalone models stay silent.

    isn't this security flaw ????

    Nah. That's standard BLE protocol.
    BLE is actually pretty secure, but it does advertise, and some folks take advantage of that.
