Thanks for the tip. I have actually gave up on Windows software. Got everything up and running in Linux, mostly using command line tools as they are a lot more convenient and are easily scripted. After a few rounds of clicking "Auto Detect", "Change File", checking "Program" and pressing "Start" etc.. I wrote a simple script that does all of that for me :D
Power monitor still doesn't work. But it should be easy to roll your own.

This is also my attitude :)
The power monitor is generally implemented via the Virtual JTAG component.
Writing a Tcl script to control it directly should not be too difficult, so long as the interface is documented.
In the case where it is not documented, you can trace the USB activity by running Windows+Quartus+BoardTestSystem inside a VirtualBox VM, and use Wireshark on a Linux host to capture the USB traffic and in turn convert that to Virtual JTAG commands.
Cheers,
