Vive breakout box no longer shutting off base stations

Anybody know why the breakout box stopped turning off the lighthouses?

Because that functionality was removed from SteamVR (now it REQUIRES a Vive headset).

Some people found a workaround.

But … why would they disable that?

Nobody knows. It is one of life’s great mysteries.

Well I guess that’s one less Bluetooth radio I need to have running. For your information one of my basestations power wires is built into the wall. Only dumb luck the other one is the one running the show.
