How to enable automatic screen rotation in KDE Plasma?

I have Acer Spin 5
I use Wayland
I use Plasma. In settings automatic screen roatation is enabled.
I've tried KDE Module, but it doesn't work.

Without iio-sensor-proxy package in plasma settings, the screen rotation option is greyed out

I have pendrive with Ubuntu live. Automatic screen rotation works there, so I assume that it is possible.

Re: How to enable automatic screen rotation in KDE Plasma?

I had to change DE to Gnome for a while. Rotation didn't work too. Till now.
The solution was to change iio-sensor-proxy from official repos to AURs iio-sensor-proxy-git
Now it's working.

p.s.
Just before marking topic as solved.
In KDE there is an option to change screen rotation only in tablet mode. There isn't such a thing in Gnome. Is there a config file where I can change it ?

And this is important because If the screen is rotated, and I move the laptop screen in to the "standard position" then screen stays rotated.
