The premium version has the same features as the free version, plus:
- It allows you to define 16 GPIO inputs or outputs (for example, you may define 8 GPIO outputs and 8 external sensors, or 16 GPIO outputs for relays).
- It allows you to create battery-powered DIY devices with effective power management.
- PCF8583 counter, PCA9685 multichannel PWM.
- 5 hardware built-in PWM, in contrast to 4 PWM in the free version.
- Hardware PWM with low frequencies.
- LED features: WS2812B strips or multichannel color LED lamps.
- DS3221 Real-time clock.
- CRON scheduler.
- Keypad (matrix keyboard).
- Flower / Soil moisture sensor.
I plan to add new features and sensor types to the premium version.
Do you have a DIY blog or DIY project that you want to share to the public? We can discuss a custom premium version for your project. Email me: ptvo {at} ptvo.info.
Note:
- The premium firmware is linked to a device. If you’ve purchased it for one device and requested firmware one time, you cannot move it later to another device. You can install all further updates on the same device.
- I cannot guarantee that the firmware will work in all configurations and schematics, but I’ll make all efforts to fix bugs and resolve issues. If you are not sure the firmware can work for you, please, test the free version first.
- To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the firmware, and documentation are provided “AS IS.” I disclaim all other warranties and conditions, either express or implied, including, but not limited to, implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, conformance with description, title, and non-infringement of third-party rights.

Hi, before purchasing, I would like to asking about the Premium license.
I had DIY some devices based on E18 for my own Home Assistant.
When I try to save a PSM firmware, the Configurator asks for both License Key and IEEE Address. This makes me wonder how the Premium license is actually linked:
Is to my PC, allowing me to generate firmware for multiple Zigbee devices?
or
to each individual Zigbee device (for example, each E18 IEEE Address requires a separate license)?
In my case, I made about 10 devices based on E18, is that means I should purchasing 10 license for each one?
Owner
It will be linked to IEEE (your ZigBee device). Yes, in your case you may purchase a license for 10 devices with a discount.

Hi! My chatgpt says:
In the FREE version of PTVO Firmware Configuration:
❌ NO Endpoint / Cluster editing
❌ NO UART / Serial binding
❌ NO String attribute
❌ NO Custom device
The UI shown in the picture is only for GPIO switches and buttons
(relays, inputs, outputs) – not for data transfer.
There are two “levels” for PTVO:
1️⃣ FREE (what you are using now)
✔ GPIO input / output
✔ Relay, button, LED
❌ No data
❌ No UART
❌ No text
2️⃣ PREMIUM (paid)
✔ Endpoints / Clusters
✔ String attribute
✔ UART ↔ Zigbee binding
✔ Custom device
✔ HA → device data transfer
Is this really the case?
Thanks in advance for your answer

Hi Thom,
All paid features are listed on this page. All other features are free.
I think ChatGPT provided the wrong answer in this case.

How many I/O can be configured with free version?
Owner
You can configure up to 8 GPIO

Hi,
I purchased the premium version of the PTVO Config Tool, but the software still shows “Get Premium” in the bottom right corner.
When I enter the license key, it shows:
{Remaining devices: 1
Used for IEEE: }
However, the software doesn’t seem to recognize my device, and the license doesn’t appear to activate correctly.
Could you please help me check what might be wrong?
Thanks in advance!
Owner
You can ignore it. It is just a banner.

Hi, I have a question about premium version:
I wonder what is count as a device?
For example, if i create one firmware (LED Controller for example), and then I flash that firmware to 10 device to use around my house, would it count as one device (One firmware) or 10 device?
Thanks
Owner
“Device” – it is a physical device with a unique IEEE device ID. In your case, you need a license for 10 devices.
