Hmm. I tried turning it off initially, but then it seemed to take a while to form the light network... so I thought maybe I'm just supposed to leave it in standby. Still fumbling my way around the 830 and the RTL515 and the IQ apps.
When I crank up the 830 and go to the page where I have several Varia IQ app fields, I see VR bat and light battery fields. The VR bat has a diagonal red line through it. The Light battery shows full. Are they not one and the same? And as I type this, the VR bat field turned green and now shows full battery. I'm thinking I have duplication here, but not sure which app controls which field.
