Alright, here's a few simple things. Nothing very exciting, but I wouldn't go without them now.

The basestations are suppose to have like a 50k hour lifespan. Still, I had one of the rotors die and replaced under warranty. Now I use a remote switch like this one to conveniently shut down the lighthouses when not in use and extend their life. Also helpful if the IR interferes with anything.

Similarly, unplugging and plugging in the vive controllers to charge every use could eventually wear out the usb sockets. I use a pair of magnetic usb adapters similar to these which takes away that wear and tear, plus they are reversible and just snap in place super easy.

My basestations are screwed into the wall, but I also have a pair of these clamps which have been very useful and versatile when I've taken my Vive to demo at friends places, or the office. Makes it quick and easy to clamp them to a bookcase, curtain rod, door frame, drop ceiling grid, or whatever. Much better than the giant wobbly stands many people go for.

Remote control switches for outlets. I believe this is the same model

Get one of these

I have a POE switch in the attic running to some APs. This has worked out well when ever I want to power-cycle it or turn it off.

u/Bradllez · 2 pointsr/Vive

I am not sure how your setup is, but maybe getting one of these might work?

But I agree that the lighthouses should have a switch.

u/Animum_Rege · 2 pointsr/homeautomation

This + this

Note: All outlets like this, even z-wave, will make a click sound when it turns on/off, so keep that in mind.

/r/HelpMeFind is also a good sub for this sort of stuff.

You can just leave the light on then turn the power to it on and off with this remote.

If you have some basic wiring skills, you could use LED lights like some mentioned. I went this route connected to a remote controlled outlet and it works great. I like the light bars since you can reuse them later more easily than taping plain LED light strips onto the underside directly.

Some cheap lights if you're patient and willing to give AliExpress a try: LED Light strip bars, 12V driver (it also works for 120V), sticky strips, wireless outlet and/or switched cord.

Not without writing some very custom script, and coding your own program. you'd probably be better off using a Remote Control Switch and use the remote.

u/Heffeweizen · 1 pointr/escaperooms

Here's a simple idea that's electrical rather than mechanical...

Buy this electromagnetic lock and this power supply and this remote controlled outlet.

The bare wires of the lock easily click into the green plug of the power supply. Then you plug that into the remote controlled outlet.

The two metal parts of the lock magnetize together when electricity is present, and come apart when there's no electricity. The remote toggles electricity on/off.

So you build a box or use an existing door, and mount the two metal parts of the lock to it to secure it.

Players find the remote elsewhere in your game. Then upon clicking the remote they unlock the electromagnetic lock. For greater effect, install a spring in the box so that the box lid flies open upon clicking the remote!

Did you figure out a solution?

I have the exact same issue I want to solve.

I've been reading and I just had the idea to put a Bluetooth adapter on a wemo switch (or other smart switch?) and have Harmony turn that on when selecting the Bluetooth/Echo activity. I'm not sure Harmony can do that natively, but maybe with the help of ifttt?

Thoughts?

Edit:

Seems like Wemo is not supported natively, however I discovered this IR remote controlled switch. I think that Harmony should be able to control that, and turn it on together with the Start Bluetooth/Echo activity. I think I'm going to give it a shot!

Edit 2 - nevermind, that switch is controlled by rf, not ir, and thus won't work.
