Lilygo T Echo BME280

Is there a way to configure the device to boot up into operation automatically when it gets power from USB? I would like to remotely locate the device behind a airplane panel where I will not have access to the screen. I just need to make sure that the GPS and other information will stream back from the USB port when the USB is on.

I allowed the battery to run down. When I supplied power by USB, the unit would not boot back into operation without pressing a button.
