I read on Steam’s website that one of the new features of the Deck OLED was waking the Deck via a bluetooth controller. I was trying it out with my Steam Controller that has already been paired by putting the Deck to sleep while it was docked (which shut off my Steam Controller automatically) then waiting a few seconds (like 15), then powering the Steam Controller back on. The Steam button on the controller flashed for a while like it was looking for something to connect to, then it shut off and the Deck did not wake up.
Is there a setting for either the Deck or the controller that enables wake via Bluetooth or is the Steam Controller just old enough that it won’t work? Or do I need to update the controller firmware?
Any guidance here would be appreciated.
It’s not ideal, but a work around is to make sure the bios option for wake on charge is turned on, and then use a smart plug (controlled by your phone) to turn the dock charger off and back on to wake up the deck.
Ooh, that’s a nice idea and will work with Home Assistant. Will try, thanks!
