I configured swayidle with the home manager module and for some reason, neither the idle timeouts nor the events I configured are triggering.
However, the swayidle process still starts and runs in the background and if I manually run swayidle in a terminal with my desired settings, then everything works just as I expect.
I have a flake-based setup, I use nixpkgs unstable, and I use Hyprland as a window manager.
My swayidle config is below. The timeouts are set really short for testing purposes. lockman.sh is a just custom script I wrote that runs swaylock along with pipes-rs as a screensaver.
{ ... }: {
services.swayidle =
let
lockCommand = "lockman.sh";
in
{
enable = true;
systemdTarget = "hyprland-session.target";
timeouts =
let
dpmsCommand = "hyprctl dispatch dpms";
in
[
{
# timeout = 300;
timeout = 5;
command = lockCommand;
}
{
# timeout = 600;
timeout = 10;
command = "${dpmsCommand} off";
resumeCommand = "${dpmsCommand} on";
}
];
events = [
{
event = "before-sleep";
command = lockCommand;
}
{
event = "lock";
command = lockCommand;
}
];
};
}
