bluetooth mouse disconnects

There are 3 solutions for this problem. Maybe even combining 2 of them could fix your issue.

Solution 1

Edit the file /etc/bluetooth/input.conf and set the parameter IdleTimeout=0 inside the [General] block.

root@nwdesktop:~# vim /etc/bluetooth/input.conf


# Configuration file for the input service

# This section contains options which are not specific to any
# particular interface
[General]

# Set idle timeout (in minutes) before the connection will
# be disconnect (defaults to 0 for no timeout)
IdleTimeout=0

Restart the bluetooth service:

root@nwdesktop:~# /etc/init.d/bluetooth restart
 * Stopping bluetooth                                                    [ OK ] 
 * Starting bluetooth                                                    [ OK ]

This will prevent disconnections due to timeout from your bluetooth mice and keyboards.

Solution 2

Create an udev rule that will avoid your mouse to autosuspend

root@nwdesktop:~# vi /etc/udev/rules.d/91-local.rules

ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="bluetooth", ATTR{product}=="Microsoft Bluetooth Mouse        ", ATTR{power/control}="on"

root@nwdesktop:~# # udevadm control --reload-rules

Solution 3

This one does not makes me proud, but... Create a script with your hidd connect command:

user@nwdesktop:~# vi /home/user/recconect.sh

#!/bin/bash
sudo hidd --connect 30:59:B7:72:A5:A7

Now, add to your crontab:

root@nwdesktop:~# vi /etc/crontab

*/10   *    *   *   *   root /home/user/recconect.sh

Cheers.

The only thing that I had to do to enable (connect) wireless headphones Sony MDR-ZX550BN are in /etc/bluetooth/input.conf

add/uncomment line:

#Enable HID protocol handling in userspace input profile

#Defaults to false (HIDP handled in HIDP kernel module)

UserspaceHID=true

and naturally restart service /etc/init.d/bluetooth restart

P.S. I'm using Debian 8 Jessie
