By now there is a solution for Unity 5. You have to use the Oculus Utilities for Unity 5. There you’ll have a bool property named:

OVRPlugin.userPresent

You may have to make sure there’s an instance of OVRManager present.

The mentioned OnApplicationPause does work, but only after about 10 seconds after you took the Gear VR off, which is too long for many cases.

get the Oculus Utilities for Unity 5 here:

there is a method in OVRPlatformMenu called OnApplicationFocus…you may be able to call Application.LoadScene(“your scene”) within that to effectively reset the scene

I used this “hand made” solution to manage the standby:
Every second check the device time (hour, minutis and seconds express in seconds) and compared the data with a previously saved time (using PlayerPref).
if the current time exceeds the time saved for 15 seconds or more (my timeout) the viewer was in standby and i reload the scene. Otherwise i save the new time on the device.
