Systemd service to start bluetooth on laptop

I want to start bluetooth with my laptop (default is power off) on kde.
I have enabled it with systemctl enable.
If i start manually (systemctl start bt) it works.
But when I restart its not powering on the bluetooth.
Possibly its happening to early in the boot process? Or I need it to happen after login?

bt.service

[Unit]
Description=Bluetooth Power On
After=network.target bluetooth.service

[Service]
Type=oneshot
ExecStart=/usr/bin/bluetoothctl power on
ExecStart=/usr/bin/bluetoothctl discoverable on
ExecStart=/usr/bin/bluetoothctl pairable on
User=${USER}

[Install]
WantedBy=default.target

If the service is actually bt.service, compare that with bluetooth.service as it is specified in the unit file…

Now, what do you think is wrong with this?

Cheers.

edit the /etc/bluetooth/main.conf - please see Bluetooth - ArchWiki

An alternative solution is to tell TLP (there is a nice gui tlpui) to remember the last state and restore is on startup. That is what i did.

Hi @gibbz,

You need to enable the service to haver it start at boot:

sudo systemctl enable bt

Hope this helps!

Looks like they tried something similar:
