But I do enjoy when we refer to pins by their real name - instead of having to guess which pin in the _chip_ specification the driver actually refer to. That said, what name would you prefer for this? Afaict this is not "wakeup" and there are a few extra steps between the disabled state and "bluetooth is enabled", so "enable" feels slightly wrong. And it probably should be "bluetooth" and not just "device" as this refers to a pin on a WiFi/BT combo chip. Regards, Bjorn
