# OpenVR Display Devices
## WTF is that
This is a SteamVR Overlay app (and a "standalone" window) that will list all your connected OpenVR devices informations such as: Model, vendor, tracking type, serial number, battery status and tracking state.
It can send notifications of low battery (<20%) and warn (<50%) through native windows toasts or XSOverlay, it will also notify if a tracker is charging but too slowly that it's discharging.
You can also get notification specific for your HMD when the charging state changes (lol @ android).
Yes this app also works if you only have an HMD without trackers, it's a bit overkill, but it works™️
The configuration file is located in: `%appdata%\OpenVR-Display-Devices\` the `app.ini` file.
## Build
- Clone the repository recursively to get the submodules
- Alternatively in the CLI after cloning: `git submodule init --update` iirc
- Load the project in Visual Studio 2022
- Build it
- ???
Notes that the project uses VCPKG, so you might have to need to open the dev prompt from your project and do something like `vcpkg integrate install` maybe idk
To create an installer:
- Download latest NSIS thingy
- Open it, click the link to compile a script
- Load the "installer/installer.nsi" file
- Compile and execute
- done
## TODO
- Try it more
- WIP to be tested: Implement a "previous value" for battery statuses, to detect if the device is charging BUT current% is inferior to last%, to send a more specific notification about slow charging
- The code really needs cleanups, the WebSocket part is absolutely awful, it works, but PRs welcomes (I won't bite you)
- Properly detect when a device is disconnected because they are still returned by the API
