SAFETY-121 review: DECISIONS limits state the jitter spread and the slow-cycle case

The jittery-meter numbers depend on the draw (review: 4, 4, 5 of 11 at the quarter edge; up to 4 quiet quarters at 20 s; first warning up to 61 min later). Above about 40 s per cycle, a short bound can still use up the budget when the wire changes hands every few cycles. Text only. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
SAFETY-121: a recurring overload warns every quarter

 # Changelog

+## 0.18.2
+
+**A patch bump: one fix to how the 15-minute demand forecast sensor is read, and no option changes.**
+No option was added, removed or renamed, and no default changed (86 options).
+**Existing installs need no option change:** options that start 0.18.1 also
+start 0.18.2. Only a forecast sensor with no power unit needs a look (below).
+The change below applies with one inverter or two.
+
+**A forecast sensor with no power unit.** If your 15-minute demand forecast
+sensor has no unit, or a unit that is not power (for example kWh), the add-on
+now ignores that forecast. The log warns once, and the Home and Settings pages
+say so while it lasts. Pick a sensor that reads in W or kW.
+
+Contents of this release, in merge order since 0.18.1 (`780c1f6`):
+
+| | |
+|---|---|
+| `09a5485` | The 15-minute demand forecast sensor is now read in its own unit, W or kW, and the old rule that took any value below 50 as kW is gone. With no unit, or a unit that is not power, the forecast is not used, and the log and the pages say so; the settings page no longer says a kW sensor is taken as watts ([[SAFETY-118]], #198) |
+
+### Known issues
+
+- A false "Battery is not keeping up" can still show when the peak guard pauses a maintenance charge ([[SAFETY-92]]).
+- A battery capped at a low limit with a perfectly flat reading can still trip the stale check ([[SAFETY-74]]).
+- A battery whose reading at rest is beyond about ±175 W is still not caught when it refuses ([[SAFETY-97]]).
+- The peak guard can still back off near the end of a 15-minute period when a meter reading is late, by less than 30 s ([[SAFETY-99]]).
+- Two inverters: the maintenance charge can switch on and off while the house is above the peak aim ([[SAFETY-88]]).
+- Two inverters: the "circulating" figure counts a battery's reading at rest ([[SAFETY-98]]).
+- Two inverters: a drain that starts during a big step in house use can send the other battery to full power, and about 1 kW goes to the grid for about 10 s ([[SAFETY-104]]).
+- Two inverters: when a battery comes back during a maintenance charge, the grid can step by several kW at once ([[SAFETY-101]]).
+- Two inverters: when a battery drops out during a solar surplus, the others can swing by up to 1.5 kW in a simulation ([[SAFETY-105]]).
+- Two inverters: after a drain ends, a change in house use can go unanswered for about 9 s, because some readings are old ([[SAFETY-106]]).
+- Two inverters: when one battery's level is missing, both batteries are held at 0 W, and for about 15 s the last command stays on ([[SAFETY-108]]).
+- Two inverters: if one battery's level stays missing for 12 h, the other battery's cycle can be marked failed, with a 7-day wait and a notice, though it is healthy. This comes from reading the code; it has not been seen on a site ([[MAINT-17]]).
+- When the 15-minute demand forecast sensor counts the battery's own charge, the maintenance charge runs at about half the power the peak limit leaves, so it takes about twice as long. Seen on a site: about 1.2 kW instead of 2.5 kW, and the peak limit was kept ([[SAFETY-111]]).
+- One inverter: after a link drop, the battery's own safety stop to 0 W can be taken as a refusal, and the site stays at 0 W for up to 15 min ([[SAFETY-102]]).
+- After a Home Assistant restart, control still waits until Home Assistant has finished starting, which can take several minutes, though the readings are already there ([[SAFETY-115]]).
+- While Home Assistant is not answering, the page can list inverters as refusing commands and sensors as missing, and send you to Developer Tools, though they are fine ([[UX-37]]).
+- If Home Assistant hangs or stops, the page keeps saying "Waiting for Home Assistant" and never turns into an alarm ([[SAFETY-113]]).
+- Right after Home Assistant has started, the page can say for about 4 s that an inverter cannot be controlled, and the first command can come late ([[SAFETY-114]]).
+- After a Home Assistant restart, the controller status sensor can still say "running" while the add-on cannot control. It was seen once, and the cause is not known ([[SAFETY-116]]).
+- Battery modes on: after a planned top-up from the grid, the Batteries screen can say "Enough sun is forecast" ([[UX-32]]).
+- Battery modes on: the forecast line "we count on" can show more sun than the plan counts, because the plan takes house use off first ([[UX-33]]).
+- Battery modes on: before a planned top-up, the Today list shows a smaller "gives" amount than the plan will use; it grows as the charge happens ([[UX-34]]).
+- Two inverters, battery modes on: while the other battery is in its maintenance charge, a battery's card can say it charges from the grid while it stays at 0 W ([[OPT-18]]).
+- Two inverters, battery modes on: while a battery refuses to charge in a cheap run, the action log on the page gets about 8 lines an hour for its retries, and the page hint says "waiting for a better price" ([[UX-38]]).
+- A battery in a safety stop, or one the add-on cannot reach, can still be started for a cycle, and its drain then waits about 12 h and ends in a failed-cycle notice. This comes from reading the code; it has not been seen on a site ([[MAINT-19]]).
+- On the Settings page, the rows of the solar forecast lists are labelled "Phase 1", "Phase 2" instead of "Sensor 1", "Sensor 2" ([[UX-27]]).
+- In the solar forecast list, a blank or repeated row makes "source 2 of 2" count differently from the rows on the Settings page ([[UX-28]]).
+- The solar forecast message says "has no reading" also when the sensor shows a number that is too old or in the wrong unit ([[UX-29]]).
+- If you use only the forecast lists, two Settings notes sit on the single-sensor field, and one of them tells you to set that field ([[UX-30]]).
+- After a restart during a price outage, the "No prices" message can say "yet" when prices did come in earlier ([[UX-39]]).
+- On the new settings page, you cannot see whether a price service token is set. Check the Configuration tab ([[UX-41]]).
+- On the classic settings page, the first click on Save after editing a field can do nothing. Click again ([[UX-42]]).
+- The price chart on the Home page shows one bar per hour, the average of four 15-minute prices, while the add-on decides on the 15-minute prices ([[UX-45]]).

+**Price rounding on 0.18.0.** On 0.18.0, the new settings page saved the fixed,

+| `8e02a09` | The dynamic contract choice on the new settings page now says "Dynamic, every 15 minutes" ("Dynamisch, per kwartier") instead of "hourly". The choice works as before, and one line in the docs no longer calls dynamic prices hourly ([[UX-44]], #195) |

+# SAFETY-119 - no "not keeping up" when the loop takes the wire back
+
+**Status: merged (bee7431); the settle and the budget changed in SAFETY-121**
+(DECISIONS/SAFETY-121-bound-every-quarter.md: 4 cycles and 22 s, one budget
+of 11). The rolling-budget sections below describe bee7431. Tests:
+`test_safety119.py`.
+
+**Cause.** When another owner (the peak guard, a maintenance charge) has set
+the wire and the loop wins again, `cycle()` re-seeds the integrator from that
+owner's command, and `compute()` adds `gain * error` from a meter that does
+not show that command yet. On the TEST-23 rig (SAFETY-118 I-2) the guard
+stepped from -2000 W to +429 W with 5 s left. A cycle later the loop's ask
+crossed the +2500 W rail and beat the guard's floor, so SAFETY-85 rule 1
+counted it as the loop's own bound and raised `goodwe_integrator_bound`. The
+battery gave what it was told, and the cap held.
+
+**Decision.** After a hand-back, the loop's integrator bound is not counted
+until the plant's settle has passed (`SHORT_CYCLES` cycles and
+`SHORT_SPAN_S`, the window SAFETY-85 grades a battery on). After that it
+counts as before. An over-rating (`clamped`, a bug) on a cycle the loop
+decided always counts. No command changes, and no text was added or changed.
+
+**A rolling budget (round 3).** The settle above is per hand-back, and
+losing the wire restarts it. Across all hand-backs the bound is hidden on at
+most a budget of cycles in any 15 minutes (`ROLLING_BUDGET`, `ROLLING_S`); a
+cycle over the budget counts. Round 1 restarted the settle at every
+hand-back, so a guard and a charge taking turns hid the bound for good (0
+warnings in 2 h where 28 were raised before). Round 2 gave each run of
+hand-backs its own budget; at 10 s and 15 s meters each quarter then started
+a fresh one and the loop's bound was never counted. A quarter-edge kick is a
+few bound cycles in one quarter, a real bound that stays is many: a budget
+per 15 minutes tells them apart.
+
+**The budget follows the cycle length.** 10 cycles up to a 3.5 s cycle, 8 up
+to 11 s, 6 up to 16 s, 4 beyond. The cycle length is the time between two
+decided cycles (a stop, or a gap over two minutes, is not one); until it is
+known, and without a monotonic clock, the budget is 8. Without a monotonic
+clock the budget never refills.
+
+**Why not one number.** Measured over 2 h (`goodwe-addon-checks:1`), the
+quarter-edge case (house 800 W, cap 2500 W, no forecast, 30 seeds) and the
+case below. No single budget held both at 1 to 15 s: 3 to 6 let the false
+alarm back at 2 s; 7 on 10 of 30 seeds at 2 s; 8 on 1 of 30 (seed 25) at
+2 s, and warned in only 1 to 3 of 7 quarters at 15 s; 9 and 10 miss quarters
+at 10 s. A slow cycle needs a small budget to warn, a fast one a large budget
+to stay quiet. Per band, the largest budget that still warns: up to 3.5 s,
+10 (9 and 10 had no false alarm at 1 and 2 s; above 10 was not swept); up to
+11 s, 8 (9 misses quarters at 10 s); up to 16 s, 6 (7 leaves two quiet
+quarters in a row at 15 s, 4 false-alarms at 12 s on 7 of 30 seeds); beyond,
+4 (3 false-alarms at 20 and 30 s on 14 of 30, 5 leaves five quiet quarters at
+20 s).
+
+**What holds.** Quarter-edge case, 30 seeds each: 0 notifications at 1, 2,
+3, 4, 5, 10, 12, 15, 20 and 30 s. Repeated hand-backs (2 x 2500 W,
+cheap-window charge, no usable forecast, cap 5000 W, house 5050 and 5100 W,
+constant and with noise, 8 runs per meter):
+
+| meter | warnings in 2 h | quarters warned (of 7 after the first) | without the fix |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| 1 s | 56 to 63 | 7 | 56 to 63 |
+| 2 s | 49 to 56 | 7 | 54 to 56 |
+| 5 s | 19 to 23 | 7 | 28 |
+| 10 s | 7 to 10 | 7 | 14 |
+| 15 s | 4 to 10 | 4 to 7, never two quiet in a row | 14 |
+| 30 s | 3 to 7 | 3 to 5, up to two quiet in a row | 7 to 11 |
+
+At 30 s no budget does better: 4 leaves two quiet quarters, 3 brings back
+the false alarm. Single hand-back, the loop at its rail, first warning after
+the hand-back compared with no fix: 10 s at 1 s, 20 s at 2 s, 40 s at 5 s
+(default), 80 s at 10 s, 90 s at 15 s, 80 s at 20 s, 120 s at 30 s, 240 s at
+60 s. At 60 s the rig is a different regime (the house is not over the cap
+in the case above), so nothing more is claimed there. The cap held at 1 to
+10 s in the quarter-edge case and at 1 to 5 s in the case above; at slower
+meters the meter's lag puts quarters over it, the same with and without the
+fix (commands are identical).
+
+**Limits.** These runs have one cycle per meter reading, at a steady
+interval. A 20 or 30 s cycle needs `cycle_floor_s` raised; at the default
+15 s, a slower meter adds cycles on an old reading. Measured that way (11
+seeds): a 15 s meter that varies by up to 30 % false-alarmed on 5 seeds, a
+30 s meter on 10 (0 to 4 in 2 h, 8 to 15 without the fix); a 20 s meter on
+none. The case above still warned every quarter there.
+
+**Kept.** The loop in charge at its rail warns on the same cycle as before.
+The start and a restart after a stop are not hand-backs. The quarter-edge
+kick of `test_safety119.py` part 1 stays hidden (see above).
+
+**Re-pinned.** test_safety84 (all six) and test_safety87 (`n1_crossing`,
+`n1_above`, `n1_charge_low`): only OUTPUT_CLAMP log rows differ; commands and
+claims are the same (`test_safety119.py` part 6).
+
+**Not hidden.** A battery that gives less than another owner told it still
+alarms through SAFETY-85 rule 2. "Always counts" for an over-rating holds on
+cycles the loop decided; on others SAFETY-85 rule 1 already dropped it.
+
+**Not changed.** The kick itself is control behaviour: for a few seconds at
+a quarter's edge the loop asks up to its rail. In `test_safety119.py` part 1
+that is more discharge than the guard asked at a quarter's end, and a few
+seconds of up to 500 W more charge at the next quarter's start.

+# SAFETY-121 - a recurring overload warns every quarter
+
+**Status: for review.** Tests: `test_safety119.py` (parts 2, 4, 5, 6).
+Follows DECISIONS/SAFETY-119-bound-after-hand-back.md.
+
+**The defect (TEST-23, SAFETY-119 rig test F-1).** 5 s meter, 2 x 2500 W,
+cap 5000 W, maintenance charge, no forecast, house 5100 W. bee7431 warned
+once in 70 min (04:31:01), then not at 04:45, 05:00 or 05:15. Base 75f0804
+warned at every quarter start. The loop held the wire once a quarter, at its
+start, and was at its bound on 4 or 5 cycles. SAFETY-119's settle (12
+cycles, 60 s at 5 s) covered all of them, and 5 cycles a quarter fit in its
+budget of 8 per 900 s.
+
+**Why the simulation said "every quarter".** `test_safety119.py` fed the
+meter one cycle behind the battery reading (`delay` counts cycles: 5 s at a
+5 s meter). Just after the loop leaves its rail, the guard's charge
+headroom (house = meter + battery) is then off by up to 5000 W, the charge
+pulls 2000 W, the guard steps in again, and the two chase each other: 8 to
+10 hand-backs and about 20 bound cycles a quarter at 5 s (rig: 1 and 4-5).
+With the meter read in the same cycle (`delay` 0, the rig's shape) the sim
+gives the rig's numbers: 3 to 5 bound cycles a quarter at 5 s, all inside
+SAFETY-119's settle, and bee7431 warns in 0 to 2 of 7 quarters. The test
+now runs both shapes.
+
+**Decision.** After a hand-back the loop's bound is hidden until 4 cycles
+(`HANDBACK_CYCLES`) and 22 s (`SHORT_SPAN_S`) have passed; across all
+hand-backs on at most 11 cycles (`ROLLING_BOUND_CYCLES`) in any 900 s. The
+budget no longer follows the cycle length, and the cycle length is not
+tracked. A stop ends the settle and keeps the budget. An over-rating always
+counts. Commands are unchanged.
+
+**Why it holds for any number of bound cycles a quarter.** The settle is
+fixed: at most 3 cycles or 22 s after a hand-back, whichever is longer. A
+bound that lasts past it counts on its first cycle after it. So one
+hand-back a quarter, with the loop at its rail past the settle, warns in
+that quarter, whether it is 1 bound cycle or 100. A bound that never lasts
+past a settle counts once more than 11 are hidden within 900 s. Hidden
+are only shapes with at most 11 bound cycles in 900 s, each within 3 cycles
+or 22 s of a hand-back. That is the quarter-edge kick: in every steady-meter
+run below it is on the 1st to 3rd cycle after its hand-back (up to 30 s at
+a 30 s meter). In the rig's shape at 5 s the bound comes 30 to 55 s after
+the hand-back.
+
+**Sweep** (`goodwe-addon-checks:1`, 2 h runs, scratch/SAFETY-121/dev/).
+Quarter edge = test_safety119 part 1 (house 800 W, cap 2500 W, no
+forecast). Overload = part 4 (2 x 2500 W, cap 5000 W, house 5050 or
+5100 W, seeds 0-3). "Delay 1" is the old sim, "delay 0" the rig's shape.

+Quarter-edge seeds: 1-30 with the meter in the same cycle, and 1-40 (1-30
+at 20 and 30 s) with the test's 1-2 cycle delay. 5300 W: seeds 1-5.
+Commands identical to no fix and to bee7431 in all 1013 runs (these and
+the limits below). Choosing the numbers: the runs above were recorded
+without the fix and replayed through candidate rules; with 3, 4 or 5
+cycles, budgets 9 to 13 met both cases at 1-30 s. 8 warns at the quarter
+edge (2 s, seed 25) and 14 misses quarters in the rig's shape (1 s,
+5050 W), both checked in part 4. 11 is the middle, and 4 the middle of 3
+to 5; with a jittery meter (below) 3 gave more false alarms, 5 more quiet
+quarters (replay).
+
+**First warning after one hand-back** (the loop at its rail; later than
+no fix by): 11 s at 1 s, 22 s at 2 s, 24 s at 3 s, 25 s at 5 s (default),
+30 s at 10 s, 45 s at 15 s, 60 s at 20 s, 90 s at 30 s, 180 s at 60 s.
+bee7431: 10, 20, 30, 40, 80, 90, 80, 120, 240 s. In the overload runs at
+1 to 30 s, the first warning was at most 90 s later than without the fix.
+
+**Limits (measured, not fixed).**
+- A meter that jitters by 30 % with `cycle_floor_s` 15 (11 seeds): with
+  the test's 1-2 cycle meter delay the quarter edge warns on 2 of 11 seeds
+  at 15 s, 2 at 20 s and 5 at 30 s (bee7431: 4, 0, 10; no fix: 11 each);
+  with the meter in the same cycle on none (no fix: 10, 9, 11). The overload at 5100 W leaves up
+  to 4 quiet quarters in a row at 15 and 20 s (bee7431: no warning at all
+  on some seeds); at 5200 W at most 1. Its first warning came up to 61 min
+  later than without the fix. The numbers depend on the jitter draw: the
+  review's draw gave 4, 4 and 5 of 11 at the quarter edge (bee7431: 4, 1,
+  9) and up to 2 and 4 quiet quarters at 15 and 20 s.
+- With cycles over about 40 s, a bound that is never past a settle uses up
+  11 in 900 s only if the wire changes hands every few cycles; otherwise
+  it is never counted (part 5 prints it at 60 s).
+- Hidden as designed: a real bound with the kick's shape (at most 11 cycles
+  in 900 s, each within 3 cycles or 22 s of a hand-back).
+
+**Re-pinned.** test_safety84 (all six) and test_safety87 (`n1_crossing`,

+bee7431 and from no fix; commands, claims, guard and phases are the same.

+"""SAFETY-118: the peak forecast is read in its own unit.  `python3 -B test_safety118.py`
+
+`peak_forecast_entity` used to be read as a bare number and anything under 50
+was multiplied by 1000, so a W sensor reading 17 W was taken as 17 kW. It is
+now read through `pv.watts()` by its own `unit_of_measurement`. No unit, or a
+unit that is not power: the forecast is not used, as if the option were empty.
+
+1. The reader through the real `read_inputs()`: W, kW, MW, no unit, kWh, bad state.
+2. The warning: once, again only when the cause changes, never every cycle.
+3. One state read per cycle, as before.
+4. The maintenance charge headroom and the charge-only clamp act on the
+   converted value (real `cycle()`).
+5. The validator, the status row and the strings.

+"""Runnable check for SAFETY-119: no "Battery is not keeping up" when the
+loop takes the wire back from another owner. `python3 test_safety119.py`
+
+During a maintenance charge with no usable peak forecast, the measured peak
+guard steps in during a quarter's last seconds and hands back. On the cycle
+the loop gets the wire back, its integrator is re-seeded from the other
+owner's command and kicked by a meter reading taken before the battery moved.
+It crossed its rail for one or two cycles, the loop's ask beat the one-sided
+limit, so the cycle counted as the loop's own and raised
+`goodwe_integrator_bound`. The battery gave what it was told. Now the loop's
+bound does not count until the plant's settle (SHORT_CYCLES cycles and
+SHORT_SPAN_S) has passed since the hand-back. SAFETY-121: the settle is
+HANDBACK_CYCLES (4) cycles and SHORT_SPAN_S (22 s), and across all
+hand-backs the bound is hidden on at most ROLLING_BOUND_CYCLES (11) cycles in
+any ROLLING_S (900 s), at every cycle length.
+DECISIONS/SAFETY-119-bound-after-hand-back.md,
+DECISIONS/SAFETY-121-bound-every-quarter.md.
+
+1. The rig's shape (1 s meter that lags the battery, 1 s battery lag, house
+   800 W, rating 2500 W, limit 2500 W, margin 50, charge 2000 W, no
+   forecast), 2 h, three seeds: no notification, the cap held, every command
+   the same as without the fix; without the fix it warns.
+2. A genuine integrator bound still warns: the loop in charge with the house
+   over the rating (at once, as before), and the loop at its rail after a
+   hand-back (after the settle).
+3. With a usable forecast: the same commands and the same alarms as without
+   the fix.
+4. Repeated hand-backs (N=2, the guard and the charge take turns), 2, 5, 10
+   and 15 s meters: it warns in every quarter, both with the meter a cycle
+   behind the battery reading and in the rig's shape (SAFETY-121, F-1: the
+   meter read in the same cycle, 1 to 5 bound cycles a quarter), where
+   SAFETY-119's settle of 12 cycles hid every quarter but one; the
+   quarter-edge case stays silent at 2, 5, 10 and 15 s; the budget's margins
+   (8 warns at the quarter edge, 14 misses quarters); a start or a blind
+   cycle is not a hand-back; the delay after one hand-back.
+5. The rule at its boundaries (`Controller._settling`): the settle, the
+   rolling budget, and a stop that does not give the budget back.
+6. test_safety84's and test_safety87's re-pinned digests: the same commands
+   and claims; only OUTPUT_CLAMP log rows differ.

glenn schrooyenandClaude	8bf25696cb	SAFETY-121: a recurring overload warns every quarter checks / unit (pull_request) Successful in 44m51s Details infra-pin / fresh (pull_request) Successful in 1s Details TEST-23 F-1: on a 5 s meter a steady overload warned once in 70 min. The loop was at its bound 4-5 cycles a quarter, all inside SAFETY-119's settle of 12 cycles (60 s) and under its budget of 8 per 900 s. The simulation fed the meter a cycle behind the battery reading, so the guard and the charge chased each other and gave ~20 bound cycles a quarter. The settle is now 4 cycles and 22 s (HANDBACK_CYCLES, SHORT_SPAN_S), and the rolling budget one number, 11 per 900 s, at every cycle length. The cycle length is no longer tracked. Commands unchanged; the re-pinned digests of test_safety84/87 differ from `bee7431` in OUTPUT_CLAMP rows only. test_safety119 runs the rig's shape (meter in the same cycle) at 1-15 s and checks a stop keeps the budget (review F2, X3).

The budget is now 10 cycles up to a 3.5 s cycle, 8 up to 11 s, 6 up to 16 s, 4 beyond, per rolling 15 minutes; 8 while the cycle length is unknown. A stop or a gap over two minutes is not a cycle length. The unsourced "owner accepted N=8" paragraph is removed from DECISIONS. test_safety119 part 4 now runs 2 s seed 25 and shows a fixed budget of 8 warns there; the never case runs at 2 s and checks every other quarter at 15 s.

glenn schrooyenandClaude Opus 5.5	0ee3c3468b	Release 0.18.1 review: CHANGELOG text fixes checks / unit (pull_request) Successful in 40m18s Details infra-pin / fresh (pull_request) Successful in 1s Details SAFETY-118 line: the add-on already turns a kW forecast into W (main.py read_inputs, abs(raw) < 50), so only the settings-page warning is wrong. Rounding note and rows: the new settings page; UX-44 also changed one DOCS line. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>	2026-10-16 13:03:37 +02:00

glenn schrooyenandClaude	1bd2ba1397	UX-44: contract label says every 15 minutes, not hourly checks / unit (pull_request) Successful in 40m37s Details infra-pin / fresh (pull_request) Successful in 2s Details The settings page contract choice read "Dynamic, hourly" / "Dynamisch, per uur". Belgian day-ahead prices are per 15 minutes since 2025-10-01. Now "Dynamic, every 15 minutes" / "Dynamisch, per kwartier". One DOCS line that called dynamic pricing "hourly pricing" now says dynamic. test_ui_text.py part 7 fails if either label says hourly again.
