You are not suppose to use existing UUIDs that the daemon already
registers, the fact that you are able to register it without cause a
problem might be a bug and we should probably check if the UUID is
already registered and fail if it does.

The HID profile is implementation is under profiles/input/, it
actually hooks with kernel HID drivers.

If you just want to test it you should probably have a look at
test-profile in python:
