Elite Series 2 Idle Shutoff

[DevX]

This timeout in reWASD just means we guarantee that we turn off gamepad after this time. But if controller itself turns off earlier (eg. inside firmware or driver) then we cannot do anything.
The only thing you could try is maybe send some rumble command to it periodically, so maybe it treats it as activity and will not shut off. I say "maybe" because we did not test such scenario and it also may depend on firmware version.

Tired no configs, timed out at 15 ish mins.

Tried reverting controller to 4.8.1908.0, timed out at 15 mins swell.

I take it as this is hard coded into the controller and rewasd option in the setting does not help this. Thanks everyone for all the suggestions and being helpful.

The problem here is that maybe new firmware in Elite2 shuts is down automatically after 15 min of inactivity, so we can't do anything.
Please clarify - does gamepad shut off when you have some config applied and you are playing game? Or if nothing is applied and it is absolutely idle?
If it is really idle then 15 min limit is by Microsoft design and cannot be overridden - it is done to save your battery.

Hey DevX,

Yes, shuts off with configs applied while Idle, while on and off a game playing.
I will try no configs, while idle and report back.

If that all fails, can you describe how to revert firmware on the controller and I will give that a try as well?

Thank you.

Bluetooth it took 16 mins to disconnect with no chat pad installed, while idle.

I just tried with no chat pad, got 14 mins of no activity untill shut off. I am going to try using Bluetooth, instead of 2.4Ghz Dongle, but chat pad don't work on Bluetooth....

Although I double-checked the info and due to hardware restrictions, this option may not work with Xbox Elite 2 when connected via Bluetooth.

Try it and let us know the result.

[neonblue]

To be honest, I'm not sure.

Yes, I am updated to the latest Rewasd. Do you think having the official chat pad plugged into the controller is possibly making it shutoff sooner?

Thanks for the info.
Having tested this on our Elite 2 controller in the release version of reWASD, we did not find any issues. Therefore, you need to wait to find out what information from the logs you sent.

By the way, have you tested this behavior on the latest reWASD 6.6.0.7710 update?​

After a little testing the timer on rewasd works to shut off the gamepad if set to 1 min, but not anything longer then the default 10 mins or so. Hopefully this can be solved, also add unlimited time as a option. I place controller on charging dock when I put the controller down, so unlimited would be nice.

My last suggestion is not related to Idle Shutoff. It was just like an additional option

We will check your log files and get back to you shortly

There is no option to add unlimited time there

However, you can try to do the following:

Open [Device Manager], set [View] to [Devices by Container] and find your adapter/controller. Then check all devices within for [Power Management] tab. If it exists, uncheck the [Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power] option.

I have that tried that awhile ago and doesn't seem to work.
