Native Smart Home Automation / IoT Triggers via Headset State (Passthrough, HMD Proximity)

Proposal:
Add native smart home / IoT integration capabilities directly to Meta Quest headsets to trigger smart device actions based on the physical state of the headset (e.g., wearing/removing the HMD or toggling Passthrough mode).

How it works & Use Case:
Currently, some users are achieving this by stringing together third-party desktop utilities like OyasumiVR on GitHub or Steam VR, paired with a local server like Home Assistant over MQTT. For example, a user can configure an automation where putting on the VR headset automatically dims or turns off the physical smart lights in their room to prevent light leakage or save electricity. When they double-tap for Passthrough mode or take the headset off, the lights seamlessly turn back on so they can see their real-world surroundings.

Why Meta should implement this natively:

• Seamless Immersion: Putting on the headset could instantly prepare your physical room for VR (dimming lights, activating a fan, locking smart doors).
• Real-world Safety: Activating Passthrough is meant to help users see their actual surroundings. If your room is pitch black because you dimmed the lights manually before putting the headset on, Passthrough is useless. Tying a wake-up command for local smart lights to the Passthrough toggle completely solves this safety hazard.
• Privacy & Efficiency: By enabling these triggers locally over the home network (Wi-Fi), it guarantees a lag-free experience without relying on external cloud servers.

Having a dedicated "Smart Home / IoT" menu in the Meta Quest experimental or network settings would allow users to connect to local smart home hubs or directly to popular local smart devices to configure these simple state triggers natively.
