SetupHelper been now so advance, is there a chance that you are discussing with Victron team to natively integrate it in VenusOS so any Victron customer could easily install third party add-ons? Maybe I'm dreaming but I'm sure you've got some visibility with Victron's team and hope they had the great idea to ask you to integrate it at some point....

I haven't heard anything from Victron regarding making something like SetupHelper in the stock code.

gui-v2 presents new challenges for third-party modifications and as yet there really is no way to do it. gui-v2 is monolithic. That is it is a single executable so any modifications need to be compiled then the entire gui file replaced. That pretty much prevents more than one GUI modification to be made on the system. Victron has promised there will be a way to install third party modifications but this will come after gui-v2 is released. I'm certainly monitoring the situation and will contribute to it.
