HTC Vive Trackers Battery Stats

[Mathias]

It would be really nice, if support for Vive Trackers could be added.

Some people have more than 1 tracker (usually 3 it seems). So it needs to be able to handle multiple as well.

No promises, but I will try it.

+1 This feature would make even more people buy it! I myself would love for this to be added! Hope you get it working @Sergio

this could be really handy for people with full body tracking for vrchat as an example. +1

2. Go to Properties
3. Go to Betas tab
4. Pick beta in the first drop-down menu

Feedback is welcome. Need your help to check.

Thanks Sergio, it seems to work just fine. I've been using it for the past few days. However I can't get below 3%, as they just turn off at that point.

Maybe the % should be recalculated and 3% should be the new 0%? Just so it feels like you're able to use the last few percentages of battery.

Maybe some other people can go below 3%, and it's just my 2018 model that wont go less? (Can someone else with trackers test this?)

Well you can keep turning them on, and still get juice out of them (so i do think there is 3% left)

This numbers is just pure data from OpenVR API.
I think it is a bad idea to use trackers and controllers below 15% (red zone for the Vive controller in SteamVR).
