kurt_b Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 Hi guys! How can i cause the second generation base stations to power down? All drivers and firmware are up to date. Bluetooth is switched on and all settings are done, but nothing happens when i close the Vive dashboard. When I search for compatible base stations within the dashboard none are found. (When I search for new bluetooth hardware within windows settings both base stations are listed.) best regards, Kurt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HackPerception Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 , we're investigating this but in many cases, it seems to be related to the USB chipset that is driving the Vive. Some users have counterintuitively reported that these features work when you switch over to a USB 2.0 port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurt_b Posted May 11, 2018 Author Share Posted May 11, 2018 Hi David! Do these users really refer to the new Steam VR2.0 base stations? Due to the bluescreens (see my other post) I had already switched over to USB2.0 - with no result. By the way the controllers receive a shut down command from the link box even under USB3.0 when SteamVR is closed. Why should that be different with the Lighthouse Boxes? I think I have not made a mistake at startup, unless there are no switches and the boxes must only be connected to the power. Can the base stations get damaged when more often unplugged from the mains? --- I once again tried to switch the USB ports, but that's not the solution. I even disabled and closed all viveport-software, as recommended by other users. The actual version of steamvr does not seam to offer energy management for 2.0 lighthouses.

PanFX Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 That's the only problem i have right now with the Vive Pro Business package, the 2.0 Lighthouses are running 24/7. Going USB 2.0 is not an option for me, my motherboard has only one USB 2.0 connector which is occupied by the watercooler. But i have plenty of USB 3.0/3.1 Gen2 controllers.

HackPerception Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 , I'm told that we're still awaiting for integration with SteamVR via Valve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayfang2018 Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Is it possible when I exchange one can resolve the problem, the htc customer service suggest me return this one and order new one . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HackPerception Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 , to put this another way - this feature is currently unsupported as of this post. There are integrations on the SteamVR side that are still pending that are required to make this work. Switching units will not change the behavior.

muldoon59 Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 I assume this is still an issue based on the date of the last posting, but just to be certain we're all talking about the same version of Steam VR, The one I've just installed yesterday, 11/25/20 has a build date of Oct 9 2018, version 1539100633. Under Settings, Bluetooth, Base Station 2.0, Configure Base Station Channels works fine, but Base Station 1.0, Enable Station Power Management doesn't work, and Scan For Base Station keeps reporting that there are no broadcasting base stations.

Veyron Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Has there been any updates on this issue? I have to unplug the base stations every time i want to turn them off and I´m worried I could be wearing them down by doing this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
