Comment on Just got my steam deck lcd and need help with wake on bluetooth

The Bluetooth chip in the LCD model is very buggy for wake-up.
It’s been enabled and disabled several times while they investigate, but it’s currently disabled for LCD models

Thanks, no clue why it was so hard to find this, hopefully it’s something that’ll be enabled in the future.

An alternative some people do is to use a smart plug to turn power off/on to the deck’s dock (I’m assuming it’s docked if you’re using a controller).
There’s a bios setting to wake up the deck whenever it’s plugged in, so cycling power like that will wake up the deck.

Honestly I’m just going to treat it like my PS2. Just need to put my controller near the deck if I want to use it.
If valve is working on it (which it looks like they are) it’s a matter of if than when

That’s an optimistic take. As a long-time LCD owner I don’t expect this to ever work flawlessly.

Which valve? The one that made half life? Lol

Another option is to connect a Steam Controller (via its dongle, not via bluetooth). Pressing the controller steama button wakes it up always.

Do you mean the Steam Controller or the Steam Controller?

It was enabled shortly after I got mine and I used it a lot, but then they disabled it. Wish they’d made it optional.
