engie_dynamic, totalenergies_dynamic and eneco_eddy are removed from PROVIDERS and from every surface that listed them. They did not stop working - they never worked. Re-verified by hand on 2026-09-13 before deleting anything: 404 with Kong's "no Route matched with those values"; a TLS handshake that fails because api.totalenergies.be is absent from the certificate's SAN list; 404 with an empty body. All three are also structurally impossible - the coefficients are per-contract and behind a customer login, there is no regulator index, and "Eddy" is not an Eneco product at all. ⚠️ BACKWARD-INCOMPATIBLE. A config legal on the current version is refused on the next. That is the point of the change: §11.4 turned every failed fetch into a silent fall back, so a site on one of these ids has been running on static_profile - or on nothing - since the day it was set, with nothing on its status page ever differing from a working provider that never found a cheap hour. validate.py now refuses a retired id with a message naming the id, the endpoint, what that endpoint answers, which tariff has really been in force, and what to set instead. No version number is picked here; that depends on a fact about the live box. ⚠️ config.yaml's price_provider enum deliberately KEEPS all three ids. The Supervisor validates the options file against that enum before the add-on starts, so removing them would make an existing config schema-invalid and the refusal above would never be reached on exactly the sites that need it. PROVIDERS is two; the enum stays six; test_price.py asserts the schema offers exactly PROVIDERS | RETIRED_PROVIDERS | {"off"}, derived rather than typed, and register() refuses to re-register a retired id. PriceProduct.REALTIME, _WIDE, Uncertainty.REALTIME_PRODUCT and WIDEN_FACTOR's 2.5 are KEPT with no shipped declarer - it is the AC2 seam, and a reviewer finding a mechanism with zero callers would reasonably delete it. Recorded in DECISIONS/TARIFF-07-withdrawing-three-plugins.md and pinned by a check. False claims corrected: every "Belgian imbalance product" claim about eneco_eddy (DOCS.md, price_forecast.py, price_history.py, static_tariff.py, FCST-04, CHANGELOG - the two released entries annotated in place rather than rewritten); the quarter-hourly examples now cite Belgian day-ahead, which really does settle per quarter since the 15-minute MTU; and export_price_eur_kwh's "no shipped supplier publishes a dynamic injection curve", which is false - Eneco publishes 0,1 x BELPEX-H - 1,188 and ENGIE (B x eSpot_15) - A, same two-coefficient shape with its own coefficients and its own VAT treatment, so the scalar is a simplification and not the market. DOCS.md's provider table is two rows and now says honestly what a Belgian dynamic customer should do today, including that generic_dayahead cannot express B x spot + A and that price_markup_eur_kwh: float(0,1) could not hold a negative offset. The formula provider is referenced as planned, not built. _points_from_json() went with the plugins it served: it read a shape no feed anybody here has ever reached publishes. The one place it survives is a negative stimulus, named row_shape_body(). Nine mutations driven, all red; table in the decision record. 29/29 suites green.

GoodWe RS485 Controller — Home Assistant add-on repository
Replaces a GoodWe battery inverter's vendor controller with a local one: holds net grid exchange at zero by emulating the inverter's smart meter over RS485, and runs the monthly battery maintenance cycle the vendor box was doing.

Install
Settings → Add-ons → Add-on store → ⋮ → Repositories → add
https://gittea.kammenstraatha.duckdns.org/admin/goodwe-addon
then install GoodWe RS485 Controller.
⚠️ The repository must be PUBLIC for this to work. Home Assistant clones it
anonymously; against a private repo the store shows nothing and gives no useful
error. If it must stay private, install locally instead: copy
goodwe_controller/ into the machine's /addons/ folder, then
ha store reload — it appears as a Local add-on.
⚠️ Bump version: in goodwe_controller/config.yaml for every change.
Supervisor keys the built image by that version, so without a bump it silently
reuses the old image and your fix appears not to work — on your bench and on
every client's machine.
Requires Home Assistant OS or Supervised. Add-ons cannot be installed on HA Container or Core.
Read this first
The inverter holds its last command forever. It has no meter-timeout of its own — a controller that dies mid-command leaves the battery running until a human intervenes. Measured on real hardware: 5 kW of discharge held for 113 seconds after a controller went silent.
Three layers exist because of that, and only the third covers the Home Assistant machine itself dying:
- ESP32 watchdog — no fresh setpoint for ~30 s → command 0 W, and keep commanding it.
- Wind-down before firmware updates — 0 W written before the update starts.
- RS485 e-stop (optional) — writes 0 W after 30 s of total bus silence.
Sites sold without the e-stop must have the acknowledgement in FIELD-GUIDE.md
§10 signed.
Development
The control law and the maintenance machine are pure Python with no Home Assistant imports, so they run anywhere:
cd goodwe_controller
python3 test_control.py
python3 test_maintenance.py
Both must pass before shipping any change. To prove a check bites - the way
almost every claim in this repository was established - mutate the module and
run tools/mutation_run.sh, which clears __pycache__ first. It is not
optional: a same-size edit reverted inside one second leaves CPython reusing the
old bytecode, and the run grades code that is not there. goodwe_controller/MUTATION.md
has the mechanism, the measurement, and what the flags do not do. They are not unit-test theatre —
each assertion corresponds to a rule whose absence produced an observed failure
on real hardware, and the comments in control.py say which.
Compatibility
Check the serial number, not the model name. Characters 6-8 of the serial are the platform tag:
| tag | platform | verdict |
|---|---|---|
ESU EMU ESA BPS BPU EMJ IJL |
105 — ES/EM/BP, AA55-era meter bus | supported |
SPB SPN |
745 — SBP G2 (GW…-SBP-20) |
no |
ESN ESC |
745 — ES G2 (GW…-ES-20) |
no |
ETU EHU BTU … |
205/745/753 — ET/EH/BT hybrids | no |
SDT DST MSU NSU … |
PV-only inverters — no battery to control | no |
A "-20" or "G2" suffix means a different platform with a different meter
protocol. The tags come from the goodwe library's PLATFORM_105_MODELS, which
is also what Home Assistant's own integration uses to pick a protocol.
- GoodWe ES / BP family inverters (AA55 / RS485 meter-bus generation)
- The protocol is reverse-engineered. There is no vendor contract, and a firmware change on GoodWe's side could break every installation at once. Say so when you sell it.
