Hi,
Linux 5.10, BlueZ 5.55
I have a remote control which implements Bluetooth LE. If I use the
default Bluetooth daemon, I am able to pair and trust using
bluetoothctl. If the connection is lost after a while (or days) and a
button on the remote control is pressed, the daemon re-connects
automatically (because the device is paired). This is basically what I need.
But, I would also like to manually set notifying for characteristics
(Report) on the HID service within my application (Java via d-bus). This
is not possible anymore (also not via bluetoothctl) because the "hog"
(or "input") plugin manages the input device and the related HID
services are now hidden.
I then added "--noplugin=input,hog" to my Bluetooth daemon. Which is
okay, because I don't need this support for Kernel HID. Great, now the
HID services are available (also using bluetoothctl), but the peripheral
does not re-connect automatically any more. I always have to connect
manually first. I also have no signal on the d-bus when I press the
button of the remote control, when it is disconnected.
How can I enable automatic re-connect for devices, when these plugins
are disabled?
The only other way I was thinking of is to leave the "hog" plugin
enabled and use the operating system HID interface. However, my
application runs as non-root which makes it complicated and also I would
like to have direct connection and control to my device.
Thanks,
Martin
