TEL-05: read the meter, not Home Assistant's opinion of the meter
A fourth meter_source, `homewizard_local`, polling a HomeWizard P1's own local API (GET /api/v1/data) instead of watching an HA entity. The point is the age sensor. sensor.p1_sample_age_s is FW-01's watchdog input, and on every transport we had it measured "time since the value CHANGED", not "time since the meter REPORTED". Home Assistant offers nothing better: a repeated reading emits no state_changed, advances last_reported on neither serialiser, and state_reported cannot be subscribed to at all. Measured twice - 70 s of a frozen meter on the ENV-01 rig, and ten repeated readings against the live house. Our own capture of this house's meter goes 42.2 s and 97.0 s between changes, both past the default meter_max_age_s of 30, so the age sensor would have commanded 0 W on a perfectly healthy meter. Here every HTTP response is an arrival. The meter answered, now, with its current reading; whether the number moved is not consulted. Five identical readings are five arrivals. Reuses TEL-01's pipeline rather than restructuring it: same split_signed sign convention as ha_signed, same make_sample, same ingest stamping, meter_max_age_s, clock-recomputed age, plausibility bounds and the §20 unsigned-decode rejection. A failed or timed-out poll submits nothing, so it is a missing reading - never 0 W - and does not reset the age. meter_poll_s (default 5 s, the meter's own rate) is checked against meter_max_age_s once at startup, like the ha_signed entity ids. ⚠️ An arrival stamp cannot see a FROZEN meter, and no arrival detector can - one answering 200 OK with a stale number is arriving. The local API does expose what HA never had (the total_power_*_kwh registers stop advancing) and the transport tracks it as `unchanged_s`, but it is deliberately not folded into the age and not thresholded: this controller regulates grid toward ~0 W, and at a converged -10 W the export register needs six minutes to move by its 1 Wh resolution while the power figure legitimately repeats. Thresholding that would rebuild the false-trip limit cycle at the exact operating point we aim for. test_p1.py 179 -> 236 checks. Still defaults to off.

TEL-04 review: unshadow the helper, validate config at startup, and record
what the rig proved about the age sensor
Review findings 1, 3, 5 and 6. Finding 2 is deliberately untouched - it is
its own ticket.
3. `built` was rebound at test_p1.py:816 by `built = build_source(...)`,
silently disarming the build() wrapper for anything appended below it.
Renamed to `sel`. Reproduced the reviewer's failure before fixing:
appending a check that calls built() after that line gives
`TypeError: 'HaSignedSource' object is not callable` and aborts at 163 of
180; with the rename the same probe reaches 180 and passes.
5. DOCS.md now states the "length must equal meter_phases" constraint that
config.yaml already carried, plus what leaving the list empty actually
costs: on the surveyed reading the phases carry 2769 W of import while the
connection nets 187 W, so the tariff quantity is understated ~15x.
6. build_source now checks the ha_signed wiring once at startup instead of
once per telegram: a blank p1_net_entity, or a phase list whose length
disagrees with meter_phases, logs an error and disables ingestion. Both
otherwise fail in the single way indistinguishable from a healthy source
nobody has fed yet - no samples, a climbing age, the watchdog holding the
battery at 0 W, and nothing in the log.
1. THE AGE SENSOR. Measured on the ENV-01 rig against the real HomeWizard
integration, meter frozen via hwsim's `?fault=freeze` seam (cleared in a
finally:, rig verified restored):
- websocket state_changed for the meter over 70 s : 0
- last_reported advanced (REST serialiser) : no
- last_reported advanced (websocket serialiser) : no
- subscribe_events(state_reported) : rejected,
"Event filter is required for event state_reported"
So Home Assistant exposes NO arrival signal for a repeated reading, and
the proposed fix - stamp from last_reported via subscribe_entities - is
not available. subscribe_entities listens only to EVENT_STATE_CHANGED, and
as_compressed_state carries no last_reported at all.
The age is therefore "time since the value changed", which on ha_dsmr is
mostly harmless (a telegram moves several entities) and on ha_signed is
not: one entity means a healthy meter under a flat load is
indistinguishable from a dead one. Recorded loudly in DOCS.md, in the
HaSignedSource docstring and in the CHANGELOG, with the measured 42.2 s
and 97.0 s gaps from our own capture.
meter_max_age_s is deliberately NOT widened. The two conditions produce an
identical signal, so a larger number does not separate them - it only
chooses which of the two errors you get, and it would disarm the watchdog
for a genuinely dead meter as well. The honest fix is an arrival stamp the
meter itself provides.
test_p1.py: 174 -> 179 checks, all green. Other three suites unchanged.

TEL-04: a third meter_source for a single signed entity
TEL-01 shipped ha_dsmr and mqtt_p1, and neither can read the meter that is
actually fitted here. The house has a HomeWizard P1 exposing ONE signed
entity, sensor.p1_meter_active_power (+ import, - export); ha_dsmr wants two
unsigned registers and refuses a negative one outright, which is every
exporting telegram. So sensor.p1_sample_age_s could not be produced at this
site, and FW-01's watchdog needs it - measured, not theoretical: the house P1
went 51.1 s and 36.2 s without a state change overnight, both past
meter_max_age_s 30, so without the age sensor the watchdog would false-trip
the battery to 0 W.
Adds meter_source: ha_signed, reading p1_net_entity (and optionally
p1_phase_net_entities in L1..L3 order for the capacity-tariff peak). The
derivation is split_signed(), sitting next to make_sample's subtraction for
the same reason it does - the moment a user is asked to write two template
sensors that split a signed value, the sign convention is back in unreviewed
YAML underneath a safety input, which is exactly what TEL-01 removed.
The transport is a subclass of HaDsmrSource overriding only _wanted() and
build(), so every rule TEL-01 established is inherited rather than
re-implemented: ingest timestamping, meter_max_age_s, the clock-recomputed
sensor.p1_sample_age_s republished ~1 Hz, the plausibility ceiling, the
"prime the cache from get_states but never build a sample out of it" rule,
"a reconnect emits nothing", and unavailable/unknown treated as a MISSING
reading and never as 0 W.
Defaults to off. An existing install is unaffected until it opts in.
test_p1.py: 122 -> 174 checks. Includes an end-to-end run of the new
transport against a fake Home Assistant websocket, and the sign convention
asserted against real captured readings from
sim/scenarios/ha-p1_meter_active_power-2026-08-{20,23}.json (-5710 W at
13:46 local under full sun is export; +775 W at midnight is import).
Non-vacuity: ten mutations of the new rules, each applied alone and reverted
byte-identical. Nine turn the suite red. The tenth - splitting the per-phase
signed values rather than passing them through - is an equivalent mutant,
because make_sample subtracts the two lists again and does not sign-check
per-phase figures. That is recorded in a ponytail: comment at the site rather
than left for the next reviewer to rediscover.

DEPLOY-01: bump version to 0.3.0, changelog for SAFETY-04 and TEL-01
Fixes the version collision noticed while planning DEPLOY-01: release/1.0 still carried version 0.2.1, identical to what is already running on the live system, so Home Assistant would not have offered the update at all. - config.yaml: version 0.2.1 -> 0.3.0 (minor: TEL-01 adds a feature, SAFETY-04 changes the control law's internals) - CHANGELOG.md: 0.3.0 entry for SAFETY-04 and TEL-01, in the existing voice No code under app/ touched, no option defaults changed. Verified: meter_source: off, integrator_max_w: 0, target_grid_w: -10 all unchanged.

Rest the meter just below zero, not at zero
The deadband is a one-way ratchet: any resting point inside it holds indefinitely. Import and export are separate registers on the meter, so a loop resting at +14 W bills 0.34 kWh/day while behaving perfectly. target_grid_w (default -10 W) moves that residue onto the export register. Worst billed rest point drops from 15 W to under 5 W. Behaviour is unchanged at target_grid_w: 0. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> |

Precedence arbiter: one rule instead of an if/else ladder
Two controllers writing one actuator is the failure this system exists to
avoid. "Exactly one writer" was true, but only as a convention held up by
careful reading - which does not survive an EV charger and a heat pump wanting
the same battery.
Strategies now return claims and arbiter.py resolves them:
highest-priority `set` wins (none at all means 0 W), then every `limit` whose
priority is >= that set's applies, most restrictive first; contradictory
limits command 0 W and are flagged as the bug they are.
The second clause is the whole point. "Money outranks maintenance" used to be a
hand-written exception inside a Jinja template; it is now a consequence of the
priorities - the charge-only limit binds the loop but cannot bind a
higher-priority peak claim.
Also: maintenance shaping moved out of control.py, which is a controller again
and not a policy engine; the loop now tracks the arbiter's actual output rather
than its own last wish, so it does not jump when it regains control; and every
decision explains itself ("loop -> 0 W, limited by maintenance(charge-only)")
in the UI and the log.
19 new assertions in test_arbiter.py, each one a precedence question someone
will eventually ask in the field. Deployed to the reference site as 0.2.0 and
holding grid within a few watts of zero.

Six silent failures found by installing this on a live system
Migrated the reference site off the YAML packages and onto the add-on. Every bug below presented identically: the add-on starts, logs "started", serves its UI, and cannot do its job. - run.sh needs #!/usr/bin/with-contenv sh. s6-overlay sanitises the environment for services, so a plain shebang means SUPERVISOR_TOKEN is absent and every Core API call is 401 - while homeassistant_api: true makes permissions look granted. Startup now prints the token length and probes the API. - Supervisor keys the image by config.yaml `version`, so rebuilding without a bump reuses the old image. Two fixes appeared not to work because of it. - Alpine is musl and has no aiohttp wheel on PyPI; deps now come from apk so nothing compiles on a client's Pi. - Alpine ships paho-mqtt 1.x, which has no CallbackAPIVersion. That raised at construction and took the control loop down with it - so MQTT setup is now wrapped too. Observability must never be able to stop the controller. - MQTT discovery is published from on_connect: paho silently drops QoS-0 publishes issued before the CONNACK, so the previous code announced nothing while logging "MQTT connected". - Repeated failures now log once a minute. Six warnings a second rolled the log buffer and destroyed the startup diagnostics needed to find the 401. - auto_start could never fire, because the store's defaults always supplied auto: False for the fallback to find.

Packaged as a Home Assistant add-on, with a field guide
Turns the reference RS485 controller into something a technician can install at a client site: a typed config form instead of YAML, an ingress UI that names misconfiguration in words, and persistent state that cannot be broken by a timezone. Why an add-on rather than YAML packages or blueprints: - Blueprints cannot create helpers, and the maintenance cycle is a state machine whose phase and completion date must survive restarts. - YAML packages need filesystem access, a configuration.yaml edit and a restart - none of which belong in a client install. - Add-ons authenticate with SUPERVISOR_TOKEN, so there is no long-lived token to generate, store or leak on someone else's machine. - Requires HA OS/Supervised. Container and Core installs cannot run add-ons at all, which is a market decision, not an oversight. The control law and the maintenance machine are pure functions with no Home Assistant imports, and both ship with runnable checks (22 and 22 assertions). Every assertion corresponds to a rule whose absence caused an observed failure on hardware - the saturation duration term, the clamp-before-slew ordering, the deadband, the sign convention. One behaviour deliberately differs from the implementation it replaces: when its inputs go missing this commands 0 W rather than replaying the last setpoint. The reference version kept replaying, which the hardware watchdog cannot catch - from the ESP32's side, Home Assistant is still talking to it. Includes the ESPHome firmware (now parameterised: node name, inverter rating, watchdog timeout) and the optional RS485 e-stop. FIELD-GUIDE.md carries the commissioning gates, all judged on the wire rather than on how Home Assistant looks, plus the written statement a site without an e-stop needs signed.
