Integration Through HomeKit Looses Connection

Third party integrations
1

Hi HA Community,

I have a level bolt smart lock integrated into the HA through the HomeKit, and for some reason, the HA is losing connection with an instance after like 30 minutes of being idle. I have to use level's native app to initiate a connection to the lock, after which the connection between the lock and HA is restored.

I was thinking to create an automation that will run every 25 minutes and make a lock.lock call against the lock. This should work but it will kill the device’s battery.

Any ideas or suggestions on how to fix it?

Ended up replacing the Bluetooth adapter. So far works without any issues.
