So anyone with a wife and kids will surely know that you can't always have that VR room you desparately dream of with loads of space, no furntiure and sensors mounted everywhere!
So basically before I go bed I usually put my sensors away behind my monitor so my kids can't mess with them but did see somewhere if you move your sensors you should really re run set up!
I usually put my sensors back in the exact spot the following day when the wife and kids have gone bed but usually do this while my pc is on and without oculus home opened but I know it will be running in the background and the sensor light comes on when you move it
So should I really be moving my sensors around while my pc is off or is it fine to do this while it's on and even with oculus home opened and move them around frelly without running set up all the time
Also a few other things aswell, I like to have the room pretty dimly lit so doesn't interfere with my play, does this cause any issues with tracking and I've got the sensors a good space apart but should they be angled inwards towards the play area or just facing straight ahead with no inward angle or upward angle, really wanna get the best out of this before I think about getting a 3rd sensor and hopefully by the time cv2 comes out, i'll have them moved out and turn there rooms into gaming rooms!! 😄

If you move the sensors at all (even a little bit) or disconnect them, you will have to redo the sensor setup again. Otherwise things may be off or not working. Thanks.
I've personally found that when my sensors move a little bit that it doesn't make any difference at all to tracking. You'll need to redo your sensor setup if you unplug them though.

I have unplugged them/moved pc/replugged/played without redoing setup. Though it may not know that as I shutdown the pc fully before unplugging anything, then replug it all back before booting it up. All I've noticed is the guardian is in a different spot, so I turn off walls and reset view in universal menu, back to gaming after that. I'm not recommending it, simply stating that I do it. I just move my pc way too often to want to redo setup everytime, though maybe I should anyway.
If you manage to get them back in the exact same spot you won't need to redo it. But you'll never get them in exactly the same spot. Maybe you can get away with some indexing marks on the base and where you you want to put them so you can get them close to the right spot and angle. Close enough that you won't be punching walls or anything because the guardian wall has shifted 2 feet.
Hmm, mine don't move but I do unplug them when done using them and I haven't noticed any issues from that and my guardian outline is the same. I get the height glitch and some other glitch but that happens even after doing the set up so it can't be because I unplug them.
You can put markers everywhere it's nearly impossible to set the sensors at the exact same place than previously. A tiny, really tiny difference is enough to change the sensor point of view (think about a camera when you take a picture, the tiniest shake make the whole scene move).
Saying that, even if it's not recommended, moving sensors seems managed according log file. the famous "Sensor moved" message is followed by several new computing lines probably to adapt to the new situation. For Guardian this is far more complex and I guess system is keeping previous values.
When I move the system between my 2 gaming rooms, my 2 sensors front-facing have totally different positions and height. If I do nothing, just recenter the view, tracking is Ok, and guardian is wrong as expected. That's why I redo a Sensors configuration and Guardian settings each time as it's just few minutes to proceed, and I only move my whole system on Friday evening in the biggest room, and back to my small office room on Sunday evening.

I found the sensor positions less causing hassles than what one would think. I have two fixed locations for my sensors, one on the desk and one on a shelf. The sensors itself get moved (by cats) all the time. I don't actually need to re-run setup/adjustment when I just position the sensors back "by eye" in the general direction. Usually, a simple click of "adjust position" in Oculus setup (in the menu) is enough...I definitely don't go through the entire setup every time. (One sensor I actually store in a box every night, it would be quite a chore to run setup every time when I put it on the table again for VR). This actually works good, now in my case. (I am not saying this is the most accurate setup, it sure ain't, but it works for me quite well)
