Preethi Palanisamy enhanced Bluetooth power management and reliability across the rdkcentral/bluetooth_mgr and meta-middleware-generic-support repositories by migrating device power controls to a centralized Power Manager Plugin. Using C, C++, and Makefile, Preethi refactored the Bluetooth manager client to standardize power-aware operations, updated build recipes, and removed legacy dependencies, resulting in improved battery life and maintainability. She also addressed HID reliability by fixing Luna gamepad autoconnect issues, aligning device behavior with user expectations. Her work demonstrated depth in embedded systems, plugin integration, and debugging, delivering features and targeted bug fixes that reduced maintenance overhead and improved user experience.

September 2025 (2025-09) monthly summary for the Bluetooth manager work focused on stabilizing Luna gamepad behavior and improving HID reliability in BlueZ-based workflows. The primary delivery was a targeted bug fix to prevent unintended autoconnects for Luna Gamepad by ensuring proper handling of HID LE appearances and disconnecting devices when they match the HID Gamepad LE specification, aligning behavior with user expectations and spec compliance.
