With HTC base stations v1.0 the slave base station will not stay awake as long its master is still in standby mode.

Both 'master' und 'slave' send out a pairing request. Be aware that the 'master' base station can only be paired with one iOS device.

BS Companion

Put your VR base stations into stand-by or wake them up from stand-by mode, without need of SteamVR.

How it works

BS Companion is communicating to your Base Stations via Bluetooth connection and is sending the commands for standby mode, just like the SteamVR application on your PC.

Base Stations v1.0 and Bluetooth-pairing

When connecting to a base station v1.0 for the very first time, a request for Bluetooth pairing appears, but this is not required for the actual switching of standby mode.

This request is suppressed on Android, but may still appear occasionally. If you accept this request, the same applies as for iOS (see below).

This pairing request cannot be suppressed on Apple iOS. It appears after every restart of the app until pairing has been accepted once.

Please note that the base stations v1.0 can then only be controlled by the iOS device with which they are paired. If you then want to control the base stations v1.0 from another iOS device, the pairing must be removed beforehand.

Known issues:

With some Android devices it can take up to two seconds to establish a Bluetooth connection to the base station.

When the app has been terminated and restarted and HTC base stations 1.0 have been accessed before, it will take some seconds until they can be re-discovered by the app.

With HTC base stations v1.0 the slave base station will not stay awake as long its master is still in standby mode.
