Serial Port Notifier

English | 日本語

Serial Port Notifier is a Visual Studio Code extension that notifies you when serial ports are added or removed.

Features

• Detects serial port additions and removals.
• Shows notifications for add/remove events.
• Optional metadata display (manufacturer, VID, PID) when available.
• Configurable polling interval.
• Built-in localization (English, Japanese, Chinese, French, German).

Requirements

• VS Code 1.90 or later.

Extension Settings

• serialPortNotifier.enabled: Enable or disable monitoring.
• serialPortNotifier.pollIntervalMs: Polling interval in milliseconds (minimum 500).
• serialPortNotifier.notifyOnAdd: Show a notification when a serial port is added.
• serialPortNotifier.notifyOnRemove: Show a notification when a serial port is removed.

Notes

• On first activation, existing ports are captured without notifications. Only changes after startup are notified.
• In Remote-SSH / WSL / Dev Containers, the extension runs on the remote side and monitors remote serial ports.
