Bluetooth timeout in Raspberry

Egnos

Hello people!
I connected the Raspberry bluetooth to a bluetooth speaker (Nest Audio speaker …).
It works well but unfortunately it disconnects after a certain time of inactivity.
It’s annoying because I always have to restore the bluetooth connection.

Do you know a way to disable this timeout?

Thank you all.

Inside the “Input.conf” file he writes that "IdleTimeout"is already set to 0.
I however uncommented the line and put it at 0, let’s see if it solves … but I doubt!

# 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=30
IdleTimeout=0

# Enable HID protocol handling in userspace input profile
# Defaults to false (HIDP handled in HIDP kernel module)
#UserspaceHID=true

# Limit HID connections to bonded devices
# The HID Profile does not specify that devices must be bonded, however some
# platforms may want to make sure that input connections only come from bonded
# device connections. Several older mice have been known for not supporting
# pairing/encryption.
# Defaults to false to maximize device compatibility.
#ClassicBondedOnly=true

# LE upgrade security
# Enables upgrades of security automatically if required.
# Defaults to true to maximize device compatibility.
#LEAutoSecurity=true

@Egnos and then rebooted yes?

@sdetweil Yes…but nothing changes … also because “IdleTimeout” is by default at 0…

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

I am testing a script that I launch every 15min using the “crontab” function.
I will report the test result and share the script here on the forum.
