As of this moment, I have implemented navigator.bluetooth.getDevices() behind a flag in Chrome. To use the API, the Experimental Web Platform features flag in chrome://flags needs to be enabled. Please follow Issue 577953: bluetooth: Get permitted devices for updates on getDevices().

For reconnecting to a device, I'm also implementing the watchAdvertisements() API to allow apps to receive an Event when system perceives an advertisement packet from device on which this was called on. Please follow Issue 654897: bluetooth: Implement watchAdvertisements() for updates on this API.

These two are part of a bigger project for implementing persistent permissions for Web Bluetooth to allow sites to reconnect to devices that they already had permission to connect to via the device chooser prompt.
