✨ Properties ✨

• string ReconnectMode [readonly] — this tells you the Connectability mode of the HID device, as defined by the HID Profile specification, Section 5.4.2. It's giving “how do we reconnect” energy, lowkey.

This mode is based on the two properties HIDReconnectInitiate (see Section 5.3.4.6) and HIDNormallyConnectable (see Section 5.3.4.14), which define these four possible values:

• "none" — Device and host are not required to automatically restore the connection.
• "host" — Bluetooth HID host restores connection.
• "device" — Bluetooth HID device restores connection.
• "any" — Bluetooth HID device shall attempt to restore the lost connection, but Bluetooth HID Host may also restore the connection.

Cute sign-off: brought to you by BlueZ, dated October 2023, and yes the manual name is org.bluez.Input(5) — mwah 💋 periodt.
