PowerPlay Toggle

A simple solution to toggle a Logitech PowerPlay mat off when SteamVR launches and back on when it closes.

Requirements

• Logitech G-Hub needs to be running.

How it works

This application uses WMI (Windows Management Instrumentation) to monitor when the process vrserver.exe starts and stops, then connects to Logitech G-Hub using a websocket to first get the ID of a PowerPlay mat, then tells G-Hub to disable or enable charging on that mat.

As there is no documentation for the websocket protocol, it had to be reverse engineered from the G-Hub electron application.
