PVmanage

PVmanage shows your PV voltage-reduction controllers in Visual Studio Code — the controllers running the PVlowVoltage firmware (pv-low-voltage A6, A16, B8M): their readings, settings and firmware version in one view. With PVmanage PRO you also change their settings, press their buttons and install the firmware updates they report.

Features

Every change asks for your confirmation first and takes effect on the controller at once.

Getting started

1. Open the PVmanage view in the Activity Bar.
2. Add Controller — enter the controller's IP address (for example 192.168.1.50) or host name (pv-low-voltage-a16.local) and, optionally, a name.
3. Expand the controller: PVmanage reads it once and shows Readings, Settings, Buttons and Firmware. Refresh reads it again.
4. PRO: the pencil next to a setting changes it, the play button presses a controller button, Update Firmware… installs a new firmware the controller reports (the controller downloads it itself and restarts).

Requirements

• Windows 10 or 11 (the license component uses .NET Framework 4.8, part of Windows).
• A controller with its web server enabled (web_server in the firmware), reachable from this computer.

License

FREE features need no license. PVmanage PRO is a subscription — monthly or yearly — bought in the license panel (PVmanage: Manage License, or the CMsoft item in the status bar), with a 14-day free trial. Current prices: https://www.cmsoft.com.pl. Payments are handled by Paddle.com, our reseller and Merchant of Record.

The End User License Agreement (LICENSE.md), the Terms of Sale (TERMS.md) and the Privacy Policy (PRIVACY.md) ship with the extension; the license panel opens them. PVmanage sends no telemetry and no controller data to us — it talks to your controllers inside your network.
