NixOS waken up by trusted bluetooth headset right after suspended

Suspend and Hibernate worked right after installation, and I got bluetooth headset working by just couple lines of configuration.nix, impressive.

I added my bluetooth headset as trusted bluetooth device, so it can automatically connect to my NixOS box. Now my problem is, if I left my bluetooth headset on and connected when I suspend my NixOS box, it will wake up right away by the bluetooth headset, which is really annoying.

The bluetooth support is from a USB bluetooth dongle:

$ lsusb
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub
Bus 001 Device 005: ID 1532:0029 Razer USA, Ltd
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 045e:07a5 Microsoft Corp. Wireless Receiver 1461C
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0a5c:21e8 Broadcom Corp. BCM20702A0 Bluetooth 4.0
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

I wonder if I can disable waking up by bluetooth, while still able to wake it up through my wireless keyboard connected through the “Microsoft Corp. Wireless Receiver 1461C” dongle.

Thanks~

I did not know this was actually possible, because then the bluetooth chip must trigger this. But I guess this is useful, when having a bluetooth mouse. Since this seems hardware specific, you might be able to turn this off in your firmware settings (BIOS). A workaround could be to disable bluetooth before suspend and enable it after resume with systemd.
