I'm looking for an OTG cable to charge my phone instead of the device. The device is battery powered, so the cable only needs to transmit information, and I'd like to charge my phone at the same time.

 

I'm setting up a VR station using a cell phone, which is hooked up to a controller. Since it'll be used for several hours, I'd like to have the phone charging during some of it so I don't have to pause to charge it back up, however every OTG splitter I've ever found only charges the slave device and not the host (the phone). Is there a way to charge your phone (and) instead of the external device? 

 

I've found some YouTube tutorials for janky DIY methods that I really do not want to use. Anything is appreciated.
