I know the option exists, but I can't find it anywhere.
The 3rd base station I ordered finally arrived but after less than a week it already blinks red. I wanna take better care of the other two now, since theyve been running pretty much non stop since December.

As an aside, if the power management settings in SteamVR don't always work for you, you could download the Lighthouse Power Management app for your phone. Simple to use, and works well enough.
I have steamvr set to show power settings but I don’t see any setting anywhere in steamvr even related to base stations
Downloading that app now
Check out the "Power Management issues" of this help article. The setting is under SteamVR->Settings->Base Station->Power Management.

This is what my settings looks like. Is there supposed to be another tab in there for Base Stations that I'm not getting? I know I should contact steam support for it like it says but I don't know if it will slow down my other ticket where they are working on sending the replacement.
Oh, right. I forgot they moved this setting into its own thing for the 2.0 basestations/the new UI, can't remember which.
In the little SteamVR box, click the hamburger menu and go to Devices -> Base Station Settings. It should be under that menu.
I realize this is unplugging... but I've got mine connected to a wall outlet which is controlled by a switch. I found the power management option to result in some strange behavior.
Set your base stations to sleep on exiting SteamVR, and always close SteamVR before you turn off your computer.
I can’t find that setting anywhere, what menu is it under?
open steamvr
click the drop down menu (top left)
Devices->base station settings
and then
Power Management
I think you need to check bluetooth settings and enable it there...
THIS BEING SAID... valve has recommended it never stops running bc according to them, its the powering on, that wears out the components more than keeping them on all the time, as counter intuitive it might be.
Hmm good to know
Source?
