GoPro Hero 13 – WAKE not working on latest firmware versions (02_10_70 and 02_04_70)

[d-biagini]

The WAKE feature in the GoPro Labs firmware does not appear to work with the latest firmware versions (02.10.70 and 02.04.70).

The test procedure was as follows:

• Settings reset (https://gopro.github.io/labs/control/set/?cmd=mPfW0r0!RESET!10)
• Application of the relevant commands (https://gopro.github.io/labs/control/set/?cmd=!MWAKE=2!MTUSB=1)

I tested both with a battery and with a USB power source; in both cases the power input is detected (the rear LED briefly flashes), but the camera does not power on automatically.

I also tested WAKE=1 with the same results. The command works correctly after downgrading to firmware version 02.02.70.

From the changelog I see that there were changes to the WAKE function starting with version 02.04.70 — could this be related?

Thank you for your support.
