That's more of a question for the systemd mailing list, rather than
the Fedora ML.
I figured there were enough experts here, I need to be subscribed to another mailing list like I need another hole in my head :)
That said, what kind of device is it? Is it shown among the devices
"systemctl -t device" shows? If so, just add
Nope, it's an external networked device. They always "boot up" at the same time, but the computer which runs the service boots up faster than the device I need to connect to.
