Your device is now awake, but it will not stay awake on its own yet. Click the Prevent Sleep button on your device page in Home Assistant, or directly on the device web server such as plt-1.local or its IP address.
You can also turn on Prevent Sleep from the device itself. Once it's awake, press and hold the boot button for 4-5 seconds, then let go.
Watch how you use the boot button
Press the boot button only after the device has restarted. Holding it while you press reset puts the device in boot mode for flashing firmware instead. Holding it for 10 seconds or more resets the device to factory settings and erases its Wi-Fi.
