In Macos big sur using your efi
The keyboard light stays on forever even when not in using after some time

I want the keyboard light to time out after a few mins

- In my laptop, keyboard light will turn off in idle, so whether to turn off the light when not using the keyboard is determined by the behavior defined by your laptop vendor, not the config.
- I cannot provide any kext-based solution.
- I think the only solution may be writing a program to detect the idle and send disable keyboard light command to the USB HID device "ITE Device (8291)". You can send the following "feature report" to USB device "ITE Device (8291)" (vendor-id: 0x048d, product-id: 0xce00) using
pyusb
(for Python) ornode-hid
(for node.js) or other library:
0x08, 0x01, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00

I'm closing this issue because of inactivity. This problem seems to be a device-specified problem, but it does not affect the daily use. I cannot provide further solution.
