Switching Quest Link Modes via ADB

Hey everyone!

I’m working on a project with the Meta Quest 3, and I’m trying to figure out if there’s a way to switch between Quest Link (Rift mode when it’s plugged in) and Air Link (when using ADB over WiFi) directly through ADB commands.

I’ve already tried a few things but haven’t hit on the right solution yet. Here’s what I’ve tested so far:

  1. Running "adb shell activity" to see if I can spot any specific actions or activities tied to Quest Link and Air Link.
  2. Searching through "adb shell getprop" for any relevant settings, but no luck there either.
  3. Checking "adb logcat" to capture any events or actions that trigger when switching modes manually. I attach screenshots of Link references in the logcat outputs when switching to Air Link and when switching to Cable, in case anyone can spot something I’ve missed.

Not sure if this feature just isn’t available yet, or if it exists but isn’t documented because it hasn’t been requested much before. If anyone’s managed to get this working or has any tips on commands/properties to look for, I’d really appreciate the help! Any advice or insights would be awesome.

Thanks a lot!
