OVR Lighthouse Manager

A tool to manage the power of SteamVR base stations.

You can control the power of the base stations without HTC Vive or Valve Index by linking it to the start and end of SteamVR.

Introduction

SteamVR has a feature to automatically turn on the base stations when SteamVR starts and sleep them when SteamVR ends. However, this feature does not work without HTC VIVE or Valve Index. OVR Lighthouse Manager allows you to control the power of base stations without HTC Vive or Valve Index with Bluetooth LE. It would be useful when using the combination of standalone headsets (Quest, PICO, etc.) and VIVE trackers.
