Varjo Aero sleep Mode? Aero Users please!

[SR-F_Winger]

Hello Aero jockeys.

I finally had Lück and got an Aero cheap.

I am new to this Headset and didnt find anything via Google hence the Swatch Here.

How do i set the Headset to sleep Mode? When i Quit the Base Software the Screens seem to still remain powered even thou the Pictures Turns grey as If they were in Standby but still powered.

I Just want to make Sure i handle this right?

 

Thanks

David

There is no sleep mode. Have to disconnect power to the headset. I have mine plugged into a smart plug that I can turn on/off with my cell  phone.

 Otherwise would need to unplug the Link box manually. I also use a couple of smart plugs for my 2 Lighthouse trackers. I actually turn all three ( cameras and headset) off/on with my cell phone with one swipe.

I have mine plugged into smart plug too. Automatically turns off power at 11PM. Easy to turn on and off and schedule from phone etc.

did the same thing. Works great. Thanks for the advice.
Now the only thing I am missing is local dimming. I hopey they get it managed soon

Just wanted to confirm the below, I'l be pretty bummed out if that is the case. Are these statements true?

 

"With the Aero, you have to manually unplug the headset to turn it off. You also have to manually unplug your base stations to turn them off. There is no Bluetooth communication between the Aero and the base stations for power management like there is on the Index."

Sadly...yes.

 

I have mine and the lighthouse stations plugged into their own power strip.  Just flick it off when done with a session.

Appreciate the confirmation ?

 

That's quite the miss on Varjo's part, but something we can live with.

I bought some remote controlled sockets for mine.

 

They came in a pack of three so i have one for each base station and the headset. Works really well as i was having to climb over my rig to turn off the base stations

similar to jade, I keep a separate power strip for the Aero and both base stations.  works great
