April 2026: Victron Energy gui-v2 -- Delivered a focused UI improvement for PV inverter status handling. The Status field is now hidden when the status code is unsupported to reduce UI noise and prevent misinterpretation. This aligns with issue 2922 and was implemented via commit 0ee45fa321af470e266766ed6607e6a36026a989. The change is low-risk and localized to the PV inverter status UI path, with clear commit messages and issue traceability.

In March 2025, delivered a targeted UI feature for victronenergy/gui-v2: dynamic visibility of Genset start/stop controls, driven by real-time control status. Refactored GensetModel to conditionally render controls based on whether a genset is actively managed by the start/stop functionality. Added new properties to determine control status, enabling clean, scalable UI for managing multiple gensets. No major bugs fixed this month in this repo. This work improves operator clarity, reduces mis-operation risk in multi-gen environments, and supports faster onboarding for new genset configurations.

February 2025: Delivered targeted automation enhancements in victronenergy/gui-v2 focused on generator control reliability, safety, and operational visibility. Implemented a tank-level based stop and control feature with a startup threshold, new UI component, and the ability to disable manual starts when tank levels are too low, leading to safer autonomous operation. Introduced a dedicated generator state "Stopped by tank level" to improve status reporting and automation decisions. Fixed a critical autostart inconsistency by converting /AutoStartEnabled from boolean to integer, ensuring type-safe autostart decisions and robust comparisons. These changes reduce manual interventions, improve safety, and provide clearer diagnostics for operators and maintenance teams. Technologies demonstrated include UI component development, state-machine updates, configuration-driven control logic, and data-type normalization for reliable automation.
