OnCue Plus for PC

Do you want to monitor your generator from your desk while handling other tasks on your computer? OnCue Plus brings remote generator management to your Windows machine, letting you track real-time power status and issue commands without switching between devices. The app pairs with a KOHLER generator and wireless gateway to give you control over electrical applications and rooms from anywhere: provided your internet connection stays stable and the system maintains its connection to KOHLER's servers.

OnCue Plus on a desktop PC shifts generator oversight from a phone-only experience to a larger, persistent window. The app stays the app open alongside email, documents, or other work, glancing at power status or sending remote commands without picking up your phone. The application requires a stable internet link and relies on KOHLER's cloud connection to relay commands to your generator.

Core Remote Controls

The app's primary function is turning electrical applications or entire rooms on and off from a distance. You can schedule maintenance appointments with your KOHLER dealer and receive instant updates via text or email when events occur. A real-time event log shows what has happened at your property, which proves useful when reviewing generator behavior over hours or days. Exercise mode (a test run of the generator) can be initiated remotely, though some users report limitations on duration and settings control through the app interface itself.

Setup and Network Requirements

OnCue Plus for Windows PC demands that your generator stay connected to KOHLER's servers. A wireless gateway bridges the generator to your home network router; the setup process requires careful attention to the manufacturer's instructions, especially around MAC address configuration and router placement. Network stability directly affects whether the app can establish and maintain communication. Users have reported that battery optimization settings on your computer can interfere with push notifications, so disabling battery saver for the app helps ensure you receive alerts without delay.

Connection and Monitoring Limits

The app depends entirely on your internet access to monitor or control the generator. If your power goes out and your internet connection drops (a situation where you might most need to track generator status) the app becomes inaccessible. This offline limitation means OnCue Plus works best when your internet infrastructure remains independent of the main power supply. Some users have experienced persistent connection issues after firmware updates or extended periods without use, requiring technician intervention to restore functionality between the generator and the cloud platform.

What OnCue Plus Does and Doesn't Offer

The application handles remote start and stop commands, real-time status viewing, and maintenance scheduling. It does not permit remote adjustment of exercise duration, eco mode settings, or other advanced generator parameters: those remain locked to on-site controls or technician access. Battery backup or local monitoring when internet is unavailable is not supported, which narrows the app's utility during extended outages. Installing OnCue Plus on PC gives you a larger interface for these functions, but the underlying capabilities remain the same as the mobile version.
