A wake-up call for SteamVR base stations

Editorial interest 78/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A desktop utility scans nearby Lighthouse stations over Bluetooth LE and controls their power state individually or in groups.

Landing page captured for the 2026-11-12 issue.

For: SteamVR Lighthouse station owners
Worth noticing: Channel changes are read back after confirmation; the tool displays the resulting value for supported LHB stations.

Field notes

The Windows MSI is unsigned; the site also offers a portable EXE, Debian/Ubuntu package, and AppImage, with SHA-256 checksums. Its author reports control testing on three real stations under Windows; Linux packages were built and verified, but Linux desktop and Bluetooth operation remain untested. The FAQ distinguishes opening the app at SteamVR startup from actually enabling station power-on.
