Yeah, I want more details on that. Originally Bluetooth to wake only worked for BLE devices on the OLED as far as I know. Controllers like the steam controller had to have a ble firmware update before they could wake it.
However recently I've had my OLED deck (on beta steam OS) get woken up by my stadia controllers, which aren't BLE and previously couldn't wake the deck. I haven't tested it well, but it doesn't seem consistent.
Now they're saying non BLE devices can wake the LCD deck, so I'm assuming that means they're going to work for waking the OLED deck as well?
Edit: did some testing, and I seems like all my stadia controllers will now consistently wake up my OLED deck. A big improvement for me personally.
Stadia my beloved :')
Interesting you mention that, the actual patch notes indicate BLE won't work with LCD. Though, the wording makes it seem like there's a chance that could change in the future?
