OpenAVC v0.15.0

June 8, 2026

OpenAVC 0.15.0 adds per-device quick actions and setup wizards, SSH device control, and clearer offline diagnostics, on top of a broad reliability pass across the platform.

Quick actions and setup wizards

  • Quick Actions are handy per-device shortcuts in the device view, one-click buttons for the commands you run while commissioning or troubleshooting a device.
  • A driver can now define a setup wizard for its device, walking you step by step through tasks like provisioning, so first-time configuration is guided rather than manual.

Control devices over SSH

  • OpenAVC can now drive equipment that exposes a command-line interface over SSH, using the system's OpenSSH client. Authenticate with a password or an installed key. This covers network switches, servers, and appliances that speak CLI instead of a binary control protocol.

Know why a device went offline

  • When a device drops, the device card now reports an actionable reason such as authentication failed, connection refused, unreachable, or a changed SSH host key, each with a plain-language next step, instead of a generic disconnect.
  • Drivers can attach their own hint to the offline banner for device-specific guidance.

Touch panel theming

  • ThemeStudio adds per-type styling and page background editors. Style buttons, sliders, and labels independently, and set a background image or color per page.
  • Several color and contrast issues are fixed.

Sharper device discovery

  • Discovery identifies more equipment, including HTTPS-only devices that previously came back unrecognized. It reads additional vendor signals from devices already on the network and keeps results current as a scan runs.

Driver authoring

  • Import and export driver bundles straight from the Code view. Companion files for simulation and discovery come along on install and are cleaned up on uninstall.
  • The general-purpose TCP driver and the Add Device dialog also pick up authoring improvements.

Reliability and hardening

  • A wide reliability pass touches the scripting runtime, plugin system, device simulator, driver loader, cloud connection, inter-system links, scheduling and triggers, backups, and saved variable state, all more resilient to malformed input, network failures, and edge cases.
  • Update and rollback handling is more dependable.
