Enable and disable devices

When a Device is added, the Input System sends it an initial QueryEnabledStateCommand to find out whether the device is currently enabled or not. The result of this is reflected in the InputDevice.enabled property.

When disabled, no events other than removal (DeviceRemoveEvent) and configuration change (DeviceConfigurationEvent) events are processed for a Device, even if they are sent.

A Device can be manually disabled and re-enabled with InputSystem.DisableDevice and InputSystem.EnableDevice respectively.

Note that sensors start in a disabled state by default, and you need to enable them in order for them to generate events.

The Input System may automatically disable and re-enable Devices in certain situations, as detailed in the next section.
