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.
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.
Another option is to connect a Steam Controller (via its dongle, not via bluetooth). Pressing the controller steam button wakes it up always.
Do you mean the Steam Controller or the Steam Controller?
