Connect external HID device (Keyboard or remote camera trigger)

Thanks @Gordon for the hints.

NRF Connect only shows the Service, no peeking or poking possible (iOS here).

By the way, this is my code so far:

var notify = 0;
var hidService;
var modeChar, reportChar;

function onInit() {

  NRF.requestDevice({
    filters: [{namePrefix: "AB"}]
  }).then((device)=>{
    console.log("FOUND");
    return device.gatt.connect();
  }).then((gatt)=>{
    console.log("CONNECTED", gatt);
    return gatt.getPrimaryService("1812");
  }).then((service)=>{
    hidService = service;
    console.log("SERVICE", hidService);
    return hidService.getCharacteristic(0x2a4e);
    // 2a4e - protocol mode (R-W)
    // 2a4d - report (R-N)
    // 2a4b - report map (R)
    // 2a4a - hid information (R)
    // 2a4c - hid control point (W)    
  }).then((char)=>{
    console.log("MODE", char);
    modeChar = char;
    return char.readValue();
  }).then((d)=>{
    console.log("READ", d.buffer);
    console.log("WRITING 1");
    return modeChar.writeValue(1);
  }).then((d)=>{
    console.log("WRITTEN, GET REPORT");
    return hidService.getCharacteristic(0x2a4d);
  }).then((char)=>{
    console.log("REPORT", char);
    reportChar = char;
    char.on("characteristicvaluechanged",(e)­=>{
      console.log("EVENT", e.targete.value);
    });
    return char.startNotifications();
  }).then((d)=>{
    console.log("DONE");
    return true;
  }).catch((err)=>{
    console.log("ERROR", err);
  }); 
}

onInit();

And this is the output:

Maybe you see something I don't.
As far as I can see PROTOCOL_MODE already is set to 1:

READ new Uint8Array([1]).buffer

What about this BLE_GATTS_EVT_RW_AUTHORIZE_REQUEST?

I will have to look at the sourcecode more in-depth though.
Any way to log what is going on when Espruino is in the HID role against a phone or computer?
