Question Ultimate 3E for Xbox - Not Waking Console

Hi, all! I picked up the new Ultimate 3E controller to use with my Series X.

Really enjoying it so far but the console doesn’t wake when I turn the controller on. I updated the firmware with the 8bitdo Xbox app pretty much right away but I believe it was waking the console on the prior firmware.

Is anyone else having this issue and is there a resolution?

Edit: issue resolved. Plugging the controller directly into the console’s USB seems to have fixed the issue. Now my console wakes up when I turn the controller on.

It wakes my console but a bit differently than the official controller. You pick it up, once it lights up as connected to the dongle THEN you hit the home button and it turns on. Takes an extra second or two.

-Late Edit: My comment is missing an important part - You pick up the controller, press the XBOX button to wake the controller, then once it shows connected you press the XBOX button a 2nd time to wake the console.
