How to Boot CoreELE via Bluetooth Remote?

Hey! I’m a Ugoos AM8 Pro owner with UR01 and UR02 remote controllers. As my Ugoos is tucked away on a shelf, it’s quite inconvenient to have to open it every time I need to boot CoreELEC. Is there a way to boot it using Bluetooth? From what I understand, I need a Bluetooth dongle for that.

Hibernate isn’t available; I’m not sure why.

No, only by IR.

My sk1 with dongle turning off/on with Bluetooth remote.
I don’t use it but I know it worked.

Bluetooth turning off - Yes
Bluetooth turning on - No
If device powered down, there is no activ bluetooth stack

Bluetooth dongle won’t help. IR power On works out of the box.

Leave device off for some time. Unplug USB BT dongle and then try to power on.

To add to that, some BT remotes issue IR from the power button, some even issue IR+BT from the power button at the same time. Check whether you can see the IR LED light up through your phone camera. Or cover the front of the remote while trying to power on with the remote.

Yeah that’s it. It’s IR then what’s powering on the box cause nothing happened if I hide remote under blanket :wink:
