Feb 1, 2026

February 2026 delivered a unified IOChannel model and GenericInputs integration across the victronenergy/gui-v2 project, establishing a single framework for switchable outputs and inputs. Key work included renaming and unifying IOChannelGroup concepts in C++ and QML (SwitchableOutputGroup -> IOChannelGroup, etc.), and exposing Inputs management in the device Settings UI to surface GenericInputs. The Switch Pane now supports dynamic delegation to render the appropriate UI delegates (GenericInputCardDelegate_* or SwitchableOutputCardDelegate_*), with new visual indicators and discrete value displays to improve usability. Robustness and UX improvements were a core focus: fixed status masking and disabled-switch behavior, corrected device-disconnection handling, and ensured Numeric Input updates promptly when backend values change. These changes reduce user confusion and prevent stale UI states. Mock environment enhancements added dual-drive boat layouts and GPS parameter loading fixes to support realistic testing scenarios and backend data alignment. In-device UX got a boost with an Inputs settings page and the renaming of device lists to IOChannel terminology, enabling scalable management as GenericInputs expand. Technologies/skills demonstrated: C++/QML refactoring for a unified IOChannel abstraction, UI/UX design for dynamic component delegation, backend-UI data synchronization, and test-data mock improvements. Business value delivered: improved maintainability, a consistent user experience across SwitchableOutput and GenericInput types, and readiness for future device coverage under the #2757 initiative.
