Any way to power on PC with DualShock 4 controller?
-
Maybe not the right forum to ask... But I guess a lot more people will have the same question so here is goes...
I have 2 DualShock 4 controllers hooked up through bluetooth to my Ubuntu x86 machine.
All is working well. Though it would be awesome if I press the PlayStation home button it'll power on my computer.Is this something that can be done?
Does someone have this working already? :) -
@Panja I'm sure there's a way, but it's probably not going to involve just the PC as I have yet to see a BIOS/UEFI that has any BT config which would be required.
What I think could work is if you setup a Pi that scans for BT devices constantly and if it sees your dualshock 4 controllers send a wake on lan packet to the PC which then fires it up. The PC would need to be wired though. Just theorizing so don't ask me any more then what I already said!
Askubuntu.com might be a good place to ask as well.

Thanks for thinking with me!

you may be able to have it wake from sleep, but idk if it will then react to any bt device near aswell, which would be a pain as it would turn on for any bt device broadcasting.
personally i had to disable wake from my bt device as my mouse would instantly wake the pc again when i tried to put it to sleep.

After hearing the replies I think I will just power it on with the front button.
Thanks for the replies!
