Lighthouse Power Management

Lighthouse Power Management #

Turning your Base Stations on and off can be a little annoying, as you may have to plug and unplug them. So here’s a few ways you can make it easier.

Note: Power management of Index (V2) Base Stations should work in SteamVR, but V1 doesn’t.

You’ll need a device with Bluetooth LE to use these: (You can use a dongle)

  • lighthouse_pm
    • A Flutter app that supports V1 and V2 lighthouses, works best on android.
  • vr-lighthouse
    • Made in Rust for Linux, Windows and MacOS. Supports V1 and V2.

Use them at your own risk, as there IS a possibility they could brick your base stations, however very unlikely.

Alternatively, use Google Home/smart power bars to turn on and off outlets used by your base stations.
