GearVR controller component missing in 4.17P1 binary
I thought I would post this bug in this forum as well in case it's Oculus side or Oculus can let Epic know what the problem is:

In the 4.17 Preview 1 binary the gearvr controller component is not available at all. It worked fine in the 4.16 binary! Perhaps Epic merged something wrong when switching to the new unified plugin (assuming they did that)?

- Hi,
Thank you for the report. We will pass this along to our internal team. - Just wanted to give an update that the Gear VR Controller component will be back in 4.17-preview2.

Just an update the blueprint nodes:
Enable Arm Model, Get handiness and Is Controller Active are also missing. Hopefully they will also be back?
According to Sam Deiter from Epic: https://answers.unrealengine.com/questions/673395/gearvr-controller-component-missing-from-417p1.html
The controller will be deprecated eventually and we are recommended to use the default motion controller again which sounds good for cross platform development however I guess we still needs those blueprint nodes- As you mentioned, there will soon be a platform-independent blueprint model.
IsDeviceTracked will give you handiness.
