Library and CLI to wake up / power down SteamVR (Lighthouse) Base Stations
Project description
basestation-ctrl
basestation-ctrl - A python library and CLI to wake up / power down SteamVR (Lighthouse) Base Stations. It currently only works for base stations v2.
Are you annoyed by the constant high-pitch noise in your room? Have you unplugged your base stations and after repowering they are not in sleep mode anymore? Are you using SteamVR in Windows but want to control your base stations in Linux? Then you’ve come to the right place.
basestation-ctrl allows you to power down, wake up and scan for base stations.
Tested on Arch Linux (2021-11-20) with Python 3.9.7 and SteamVR Base Station 2.0.
