Hi, everybody here
I have a strange problem with my HP Chromebox and Xiaomi Bluetooth remote and, to say the truth, I'm a little confused and need a good advice.
So, my HP Chromebox in it's original configuration (4GB RAM variant, built-in Wi-Fi + Bluetooth adapter) is running one of the latest LibreELEC Testbuilds for x86_64 (Kodi 18.0).
Movie playback, PVR, audio - everything works well.
My setup is standalone, the latest UEFI firmware.
Originally, I was using
Trust air mouse as remote control. It's a kind of 2.4 GHz device, a gyro-mouse and a keyboard in the same housing and it has a USB-dongle to connect to a host.
This appeared to be quite a reliable RC but there's a problem: it cannot wake the host from S3 for some reason.
Ok, I wanted to use S3, so I've bought a
Xiaomi Bluetooth remote control recently.
I've installed a fresh copy of Libreelec and repeated all my usual settings from scratch, using Trust air mouse RC for the initial setup, because Bluetooth needs a running system to work.
Then I've paired the new Xiaomi Bluetooth RC, made some key reassigning and tried how it goes.
Everything seemed promising: Xiaomi Bluetooth RC was reliably controlling the box and waking the Chromebox up from S3 with any key.
Ok, as everything was working as intended, I decided that it's time to disconnect Trust air radio mouse RC for using it somewhere else.
But to my surprise, when I remove Trust radio dongle from the Chromebox, Xiaomi Bluetooth RC loses the ability to wake Chromebox up.
I've repeted experiments several times. Rebooted, powered the PC off and on. Repaired the RC. Installed different builds of Libreelec. Nothing helped and the fact is:
Bluetooth remote wakes the Chromebox up from S3 only if a radio dongle from Trust air mouse present in USB slot.
So, I'd like to understand what's happening and how to fix the problem for to use Chromebox with a single remote
Any ideas and advices are much appreciated.
Thank you in advance, and excuse me for such a long description of the problem.
