glenn schrooyenandClaude Opus 5 5184a2cfc2 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.

"""GoodWe RS485 Controller add-on - entry point and orchestration.
WHAT THIS THING DOES, in one paragraph: it reads the house's net grid power from
Home Assistant, decides how hard the battery should charge or discharge to hold
that at zero, and writes that figure to an ESP32 which puts it on the inverter's
RS485 meter bus. Once a month it runs a full low->full battery cycle so the BMS
can balance cells and recalibrate its coulomb counter.
⚠️ THE ONE THING TO UNDERSTAND BEFORE CHANGING ANY OF THIS: the inverter holds
the last command it understood FOREVER. It has no meter-timeout of its own.
Measured on real hardware: a controller died mid-command and the inverter held
5 kW of discharge for 113 s until a human noticed. Every failsafe in this system
exists because of that one fact:
layer 1 the ESP32's own watchdog - if we stop refreshing for ~30 s it
commands 0 W and KEEPS WRITING it. Stopping is the failure, not the
fix. This add-on's heartbeat is what feeds it.
layer 2 wind-down before a firmware update, in the ESP32.
layer 3 the optional RS485 e-stop, which writes 0 W after 30 s of total bus
silence. It is the ONLY thing that covers this add-on's host dying.
So: when in doubt, this process stops writing, and the hardware takes the
battery to zero on its own. Never "hold the last value to be safe".
