Based on my research, the steam deck lcd should be able to wake when a controller connects with it. Yet when I paired and enabled wake on Bluetooth for any of my controller it doesn’t work or connect.
Am I doing something wrong?
The controller I’ve tested are
Xbox One
Xbox Series X
PS4
PS4 V2
All controller have been updated by their respective systems.
Wasn’t wake on Bluetooth disabled a few updates back due to certain problems that still need solving?
The only thing that ever wakes my LCD is the Bluetooth keyboard / mouse dongle plugged into the dock it resides in. If I take the Deck out of the dock and plug it back in I have to turn it on once before it will recognize the keyboard / mouse.
Just be mindful of the xbox controllers as I think it should be very picky about working only with specific versions of the controller, but what version of SteamOS are you on? It’s been on a journey of being enabled and disabled with each update.
You might want to try the beta version
These controllers worked on my friends system.

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.

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.
