Must-have for annoying base stations
It simply does the thing. No setup requiredShanePizza
Works great, but could use Shortcuts integration.
I use this app when using a combination of the Quest 2 and Vive trackers. I’ve been very happy with the convenience of being able to shut down my base stations instead than unplugging them every time. I only wish there was integration with Shortcuts. While turning them off manually via the app works well, automating this process would be fantastic.Show lessnpburns224
Essential App!
This app is super simple to use and absolutely essential if you have your base stations in your room, especially if your setup makes it difficult to unplug them!
My only request would be to add Apple Shortcuts support so we can tell Siri to turn the base stations on or off, or at least a small new-style widget so a one-touch button can be added to my Sleep focus homepage.
Edit: Thank you for the response!! So awesome to hear you’ve been working on adding Shortcuts! I’ll check it out!Show lessManedCalico

Thank you for your feedback. Shortcut support is available in the current beta of the next release. Please contact me if you like to join the beta program.Perfectly solves the problem
SteamVR has always had issues properly turning on and off base stations and recently got even worse where it doesn’t turn them on most of the time and stopped turning them off. This app does it in 1 second, 30-60 seconds faster than SteamVR ever did.
Stop unplugging and constantly open/closing SteamVR in hopes it finally does it, and just use this simple effective app.Show lessderekmlr
Perfect!
It’s rare that I’m pleasantly surprised with how simple and straightforward an app is, so I’m writing my first app review in probably a decade just to praise it! I opened it, tapped the button and my base stations instantly powered off. No scanning, pairing or other setup, no navigating menus, no ads, and no unnecessarily inflated app size (could almost fit on a floppy disk!). Just open and push button! With how software design trends have been over the past few years, I almost forgot how simple things can be!Show lessArayta

Thank you very much for your review. I would just like to point out that the old base stations 1.0 do indeed send out a pairing request the first time they are accessed. The device pairing is not mandatory, and if you want to access the same base stations 1.0 with several iOS devices I even recommend to cancel the pairing requests. Otherwise base stations need a pairing again with the currently used iOS device.No worky
It sees my base stations but cannot actually turn them off or do anything else.Jasonn85

If you purchase an app and it doesn't work properly you have two options: You are upset and tell everyone that app doesn't work with you - or you contact the developer to get the problem solved, and in the end, have a working app. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯Works perfectly once set up
Exactly what I needed. Valve should’ve made this for free, but since they didn’t, this program is perfect!TheCrake
Great app, truly worth the $2
If you own a Valve Index or HTC Vive Pro, this nifty app is a MUST have. I have found the Bluetooth for the lighthouses can be finicky with waking up or sleeping from a command from SteamVR. This app makes things much easier because a single tap turns on or off all lighthouses in range.Techwiz34
Used to use an android app similar to this
I love how down to earth and functional this is. I’ve only had it for a few minutes, but it’s already proven to be just as useful as the Android competitor that I missed having. Thank you for making this available.jdlarrimo
Great app
Does exactly what it says it does, and does it will. 👌🏻aaronleander97
