nope it can be done. some geniouses from these forums cooked up a program to turn them on and off via a program they wrote
all @sweviver would have to do is incorporate it into PE.

maybe @sweviver can add IFTTT support to PE so it can control the smart plugs whenever a game is launched and also when Pitool is closed.

Yes Iāve seen a few scripts that work with LH v1 and v2. They are in our TODO list.
I mentioned that we will investigate. I tend not to promise before we are sure. Once we have it working, then we will let you all know about it 
There might be a way. Both LH v1 and v2 are in our todo list. Once we have something working, then we will mention it.
Thank you all for showing interest in this feature. Much appreciated.

This is great, because itās little things like this that I can see turning the general consumer off.
If you come from Vive or Index you just assume that your base station wont have to be turned off manually.
unrelated: I wonder if the top usb port of the 5k+ could be used to attach a usb proximity sensor like all other headsets have to tell when its worn.
I had the same issue. Then i realised that i needed to install SteamVR (i had it installed on my previous computer when i had the 5k+). After that no issues.
Hi all,
Quick question for everyone here, but first Iād like to express my opinion about the 8K-X and PE:
PE is such a treat! Fantastic work and despite any delays or probably because committing to delays to polish the headset rather than rushing the product release, we have received to best VR headset currently available on the consumer market. Well, at least that is my opinion.
Hereās my question for yāall. Maybe someone can point me in the right directions:
PE launches just fine as one would expect. VR application launches and everything is great, but upon quitting the VR application instead of going back to PE, SteamVRHome launches. What am I doing wrong here? Iād like to get back to PE as soon as I close whatever Iāve been running. Any ideas?
Much obliged!
I exit my games via the SteamVR menu on the bottom left and selecting Exit VR. This will take you back to PE. Itās probably different than what youāre used to doing but it becomes natural after a while.

Hi all,
I installed the Pimax 8Kx along with the base stations today. Only one base station is showing up as connected to steam and the HMD. Weird. I may have it too far behind my seated position.
Bigger issues:
I got the Pimax experience working, and even got the mouse working in it. However, the image quality is still pretty blurry and Iāve been unable to make improve it much with the IDP dial.
Worse, when I go into steam, the view is canted 45 degrees off to my left, and the text on the board (blackboard?) is quite unclear. I have no way of clicking on anything as I havenāt figured out to get the mouse working in Steam.
Iām not too worried about image quality- Iām sure that can be fixed through settings or headset adjustments.
I"m going to try importing games through the P.Ex. and see if I can get them to run. It doesnāt look like I can run non steam or oculus or vive games.
Iāll keep plugging away.
The link doesnāt work, I canāt download it.
i had the single lighthouse tracking also, i used a paper clip to push the little button in back to change the channel of one of them and it works great now.

I never thought of that- gor blimey, youāre a genius!
Thanks!
Canāt download on chrome but worked on firefox. The day Pimax wonāt fail something chickens will gain teethā¦
For those having Issues with getting the link to open. Simply right click the link and click: Open in new tab. I have the same problem too and that was the work around
Jimā¦ thanks againā¦ The paperclip trick did the trick; I now have two working base stations.
Cheers
Tried it and it doesnāt work, all I can have is an empty sky and my controllers.
A big thanks to everyone for sharing your issues so far.
@SweViver and I are finalizing and preparing the new beta build. We will post an update when the new beta build is available for you.
Stay tuned
