Polling for Square Device status

What's the possibility to know whether the contactless device is turned on via the Square API? Is there a polling mode that the device will respond if it is in idle and waiting for a transaction?

If the device gone to sleep mode, what's the possibility to turn it on pragmatically?

Also will the device turn on automatically when it is connected via the USB cable to a USB port?

Thanks,

Unfortunately, programmatically checking the status of a reader and turning it on isn’t currently available. The reader will automatically go into sleep mode after 2 hours of inactivity. To wake it up from sleep mode, firmly press the button on the side of the reader.
