`price.py` modelled what a site is PAID for export as ONE scalar. The market publishes a line, and the cards say so in their own words: Eneco Zon & Wind Dynamisch `0,1 x BELPEX-H - 1,188` c EUR/kWh - "het injectietarief is dynamisch en kan per uur wijzigen", identical on the January and the September 2026 cards; ENGIE Dynamic `(B x eSpot_15) - A`; Aspiravi `0,07 x Belpex - 2`. `price_export_formula` carries that line with its OWN coefficients. ⚠️ THIS IS NOT A WRONG-TRADE FIX, AND SAYING SO IS PART OF SHIPPING IT. `arbitrage.py` does not read `export_price_eur_kwh` at all - its own comment says so, citing §9.3's near-zero Belgian injection price as the reason the economically sound trade on this market is charge-cheap-to-displace-expensive- IMPORT. Both hours it compares are all-in CONSUMPTION prices. No trade this add-on takes today is decided by an injection price and nothing here changes one. What it changes is what an operator is told, and what a future export-aware strategy rests on: OPT-06 and any export logic would otherwise inherit a scalar that cannot represent the market, and the 6% VAT asymmetry would be invisible in the arithmetic. test_price.py 17h parses every module under app/ and goes red the day something calls an injection reader, so that sentence is graded rather than attested. FOUR PROPERTIES A SCALAR CANNOT HOLD. Its own factor (Eneco 0,102 consumption against 0,100 injection; Aspiravi 0,07 against ~0,10 - not the consumption B with a sign flip). A negative offset, which `price_markup_eur_kwh: float(0,1)` cannot express at all. VAT-exemption - "injectietarieven zijn vrijgesteld van btw" - against 6% on consumption, representable only because `vat_pct` is PER SPEC. And a price that goes below zero with no floor, under 11,88 EUR/MWh of BELPEX-H, which is the middle of a sunny day. ⚠️ A NEGATIVE INJECTION PRICE IS ACCEPTED, AND THAT NEEDED A DIFFERENT BAND RATHER THAN A LOWER FLOOR. `implausible_all_in()` floors the consumption leg at +0.02 EUR/kWh of energy; applied to injection that refuses the real market in the hours it matters most. Measured rather than argued: 17c puts ONE spec through BOTH bands and prints that the consumption band refuses -0.03008 EUR/kWh while the injection band accepts it. The floor was not decoration - it is what catches a card read a hundred times too small, the one unit error the card self-check cannot see because it cancels out of a comparison between the two sides - so the bound moves OFF the price and ONTO the coefficients, where it is index-free and sign-free: a pass-through band (Eneco's injection leg is 1.00x, Aspiravi's 0.70x; the band is 0.10-10x) and an offset magnitude bound (0.20 EUR/kWh against published 0.01188 and 0.02). Two rungs that can both answer a hundredfold error, so each is graded on its REASON, each gets a stimulus the other cannot reach with the precondition asserted as its own check, and they are mutated TOGETHER (TEST-16). ⚠️ THE CARD SELF-CHECK APPLIES WHERE THERE IS A CARD, AND WHERE THERE IS NOT THAT IS STATED RATHER THAN WORKED AROUND. `price_formula` can require a `card` block because a Belgian card prints the consumption formula, the reference index AND the resulting price. Eneco's INJECTION formula is printed with no price beside it. Requiring a block would make the published line inexpressible; inventing the estimate would grade the coefficients against arithmetic done with the same coefficients. So the block is OPTIONAL on this leg and unchanged on the other, the self-check runs at the same tolerance wherever a printed estimate exists, and validate.py says at startup - "its coefficients are UNGRADED" - when it does not, naming the two bounds that ran instead. This is TARIFF-15 demonstrating two tariffs end to end rather than three, one card later. 17e also MEASURES the size of that gap: a factor of 0.070 where the contract says 0.100 - 30% of every export payment - passes both bounds, because 0.70x is a pass-through somebody really publishes. ONE PARSER, NOT TWO. `parse_export_formula()` is `parse_price_formula()` with its OPTION NAME as an argument - TARIFF-17's move on `parse_static_profile()`, exactly - and everything that differs between the legs is a string in one `_LEGS` table. A second copy would be a second unit table, a second NaN rule, a second unknown-key rule and a second `to_resolution()`, diverging first on the 23- and 25-hour days. test_price.py 17b pins it two ways: all 32 grammar names are defined in exactly ONE module under app/, with the scope COMPUTED by parsing every file rather than listed; and twelve refusal sentences for the new option are DERIVED from the old option's own sentence rather than transcribed. The four sentences that deliberately differ are named, with what differs, and asserted to differ. NOTHING CHANGES FOR A SITE THAT DOES NOT SET IT. The option ships ""; `export_price_eur_kwh()`'s body is byte-identical, pinned on the AST rather than on the source text; `export_price_at()` falls through to it for every index value. 17f compares seven option dicts x five index values against the pre-TARIFF-16 expression with `==`. `price_export_formula` joins FRAMEWORK_KEYS, BANNED_IN_PLUGIN_CODE is derived from that set, and `code_leaks()` refuses a plugin that names it with nothing else edited. ALSO CORRECTED HERE: config.yaml's comment beside `export_price_eur_kwh` still read "no shipped supplier publishes a dynamic injection curve". TARIFF-07 struck that claim from app/price.py and DOCS.md and did not reach config.yaml, where it has been shipping since. 20 mutations, every one red on a named check, ledger in test_price.py below section 17 - including a ZERO-byte one (the two legs transposed in the VAT-asymmetry banner: no decision moves, only the sentence) and a ONE-byte one (`card_required=True` on the injection leg). Three run over all 29 files and red on test_price.py alone. 29/29 green. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01BwRLw7eKYj2byVdwB6kbjU
GoodWe RS485 Controller — Home Assistant add-on repository

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.
