Make solaar rules work in Wayland

Solaar installs and works fine in Xorg, by using a udev rule to enable the user to write on uinput.

Solaar lists on their github page two slightly different rules.

The first one

# This rule was added by Solaar.
#
# Allows non-root users to have raw access to Logitech devices.
# Allowing users to write to the device is potentially dangerous
# because they could perform firmware updates.
KERNEL=="uinput", SUBSYSTEM=="misc", TAG+="uaccess", OPTIONS+="static_node=uinput"

ACTION != "add", GOTO="solaar_end"
SUBSYSTEM != "hidraw", GOTO="solaar_end"

# USB-connected Logitech receivers and devices
ATTRS{idVendor}=="046d", GOTO="solaar_apply"

# Lenovo nano receiver
ATTRS{idVendor}=="17ef", ATTRS{idProduct}=="6042", GOTO="solaar_apply"

# Bluetooth-connected Logitech devices
KERNELS == "0005:046D:*", GOTO="solaar_apply"

GOTO="solaar_end"

LABEL="solaar_apply"

# Allow any seated user to access the receiver.
# uaccess: modern ACL-enabled udev
TAG+="uaccess"

# Grant members of the "plugdev" group access to receiver (useful for SSH users)
#MODE="0660", GROUP="plugdev"

LABEL="solaar_end"
# vim: ft=udevrules

And the second one

# This rule was added by Solaar.
#
# Allows non-root users to have raw access to Logitech devices.
# Allowing users to write to the device is potentially dangerous
# because they could perform firmware updates.

ACTION != "add", GOTO="solaar_end"
SUBSYSTEM != "hidraw", GOTO="solaar_end"

# USB-connected Logitech receivers and devices
ATTRS{idVendor}=="046d", GOTO="solaar_apply"

# Lenovo nano receiver
ATTRS{idVendor}=="17ef", ATTRS{idProduct}=="6042", GOTO="solaar_apply"

# Bluetooth-connected Logitech devices
KERNELS == "0005:046D:*", GOTO="solaar_apply"

GOTO="solaar_end"

LABEL="solaar_apply"

# Allow any seated user to access the receiver.
# uaccess: modern ACL-enabled udev
TAG+="uaccess"

# Grant members of the "plugdev" group access to receiver (useful for SSH users)
#MODE="0660", GROUP="plugdev"

LABEL="solaar_end"
# vim: ft=udevrules

The difference is this one line:

KERNEL=="uinput", SUBSYSTEM=="misc", TAG+="uaccess", OPTIONS+="static_node=uinput"

At the top. This means the first rule works, the second doesn't.

Both are named 42-logitech-unify-permissions.rules and should be in /etc/udev/rules.d/.

I have found the first file to work. This bellow as a file also works (change "yourusername"):

SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="046d", MODE="0666"
KERNEL=="uinput", MODE="0660", GROUP="yourusername", OPTIONS+="static_node=uinput"

And if everything fails, sudo setfacl -m u:${USER}:rw /dev/uinput.
