Console Basics
Let’s use SSH to demonstrate this:
$ ssh [e-mail]
Welcome to the Open Vehicle Monitoring System (OVMS) - SSH Console
Firmware: 3.1.003-2-g7ea18b4-dirty/factory/main
Hardware: OVMS WIFI BLE BT cores=2 rev=ESP32/1
OVMS#
When first connecting using USB, the console will be in non-secure mode (as indicated by the
“OVMS>” prompt). Here, only a limited number of commands are available (such as viewing
network status, modem status, or system time). To get to secure mode, enter the command
‘enable’, and provide the module password. The prompt will then change to “OVMS#”:
OVMS> enable
Password:
Secure mode
OVMS#
You can enter the ‘disable’ command to get out of secure mode, and ‘exit’ to exit the console
completely.
When connecting via a pre-authenticated protocol such as SSH, you will be in secure mode
automatically.
At any time, you can use “?” to show the available commands. For example:
OVMS# ?
