What feature are you suggesting?
This should be possible as it is basically the same feature as changing colors, but sending instead a different hex value to the joycon. It is known that with the Joycon Toolkit (Windows) we can set the joycons to low power state which truly turns them off, avoiding that they get discharged when not using them in a long time (stethix has a video on this). It really is just two steps: 1) sending subcmd 07 to clear the pairing data of the joycon 2) sending subcmd 08 together with subcmd argument 01 to set the joycon in low power state.

Describe the solution you'd like

  1. A button in the Tools section to put connected joycons in low power state (send subcmd 08 and subcmd argument 01).
  2. Another button to the same and additionally clear the pairing data of the joycons (send subcmd 07).

Describe alternatives you've considered
Using a Windows PC but it's a pain. Would be great to do this directly within AIO.

Additional context
This feature would be awesome as it really makes the joycons battery last a lot longer when not using the switch in a long time. It's also great when you have a set of joycons that you only use with guests.

@mvergaraq I would also ask CTCaer for that!
He made that JoyCon Tool and he is making "hekate"!

Problem is: a payload can't be greater than araound 128kb (if I remember right), but who knows, maybe it is possible that CTCaer can put it into hekate under Tools section!

Asking is free!

Oh and, that's a really great feature you're suggesting!!!
