From the sounds of it various others are interested in the ability
to
trigger a device disconnect as well. Since I don't think any of us
have a good enough understanding of the HID / input frameworks, I'm
adding Benjamin and Jiri. Maybe they have some good ideas on how to
tackle this.
Well, this really depends on the low-level (transport, as we call it
in 
HID) driver.

USB, for example, has it's own runtime power management, and the
devices 
auto-suspend and auto-resume themselves almost automatically without
too 
many specific generic code requirements.

What is the hardware transport we're talking about here?
From my side, it's Bluetooth.
