Comment on Steam Deck Beta Client Update Lets You Remotely Install Demos From Phone Or Web
Dexterity10@lemmy.world 3 weeks agoYou can already wake the device up over LAN
If you don’t mind, could you explain how to do this? I frequently forget to leave my steam deck on when wanting to use steam link.

If you want to use WOL you’ll need an adapter/dock with an Ethernet port.
Then use nmcli (network manager cli) to accept magic wake-up packets: nmcli c modify “Wired connection 1” 802-3-ethernet.wake-on-lan magic
See more info here: wiki.archlinux.org/title/Wake-on-LAN
Then you just send a magic packet to your Steam Decks IP whenever you want it to wake up.
Note: if you own an OLED Steam Deck technically you can just do this over Bluetooth with a controller instead, because of the hardware update.
