As much as I would love that, don't read too much into it, Valve has always pushed Linux fixes for all of their things (including VR)

The fact that I still have to use an app on my phone to wake and suspend my base stations, says otherwise.

What app can do that?

Lighthouse PM

Base station commands are just simple Bluetooth broadcasts, so there is no pairing or anything.

You just get the app, and it will show you any nearby base stations, and let you broadcast the suspend/wake signal from you phone.

It's a nice tool to have around anyway. Even for my windows VR PC. The power at my house went out yesterday and the base stations restarted into a fully on state. I didn't have to turn on the VR PC to turn them back off, just had to open Lighthouse PM.
