Yes, that sounds like a good idea. If you control the app on the central side then that would definitely be the easiest place to do any detection and then actively (automatically) enable the feature.

The feature is a mouse, which isn't supported on iOS devices. The feature activation is passive without any user gesture (surface proximity detection) so the mouse might detect movement and prevent itself from shutting off, even when the central device ignores any data sent to it.

We'll look into sending signals using our apps from the central device.

Thanks

Hi,

Can you say anything about what this feature is?

In the general case it would be better to detect if the feature is being used, and activate it only if it is used. What if this feature gets supported in a future version of iOS? What if this feature is not supported by some other devices as well?
