I just received my Kobo Remote. It seems the white one is also out of stock in Japan.
I'm not sure why, but I have a Kobo Sage and chose the black one. It looks like the black one is still in stock.

From what I've read, the issue is that in most low power devices, WiFi and BT share the same chip and enabling BT also enables WiFi. So now you need to add code to ensure that the status before sleep is restored after sleep.

Yea, I've encountered this as well: https://github.com/OGKevin/kobo.koplugin/issues/31

So far my conclusion is that enabling WiFi, properly powers on the radio. While only telling the system to turn on Bluetooth results in the radio not working. I haven't dived deeper yet, as this is an acceptable solution for now.

There is indeed code to turn WiFi back off if it wasn't enabled.

I’m very satisfied with the remote. It feels good in the hand.

The issue of WiFi being automatically enabled is a bit of a headache, but there is a workaround.

By enabling Force Wifi in Developer options and turning on Bluetooth with nickelmenu, WiFi stays off and only Bluetooth remains active. Even after several hours in sleep mode, the remote worked again immediately.
