Review APPROVEDf109153and the split. Three asks, all applied, plus a correction it caught in the round-4 commit message. C STAYS IN-TREE. Attribution is a third property of the same comprehension - `sorted()` decides which vanished key wins a destination, so a build renaming `inverter-b` -> `garage` while DELETING `inverter-a` names the deleted key as migrated and the one that really moved as VANISHED. A reader of the disclosure paragraph wants it beside the other two rather than only in Trello. One sentence, same block. AND A FOURTH CLAUSE REVIEW MEASURED THIS ROUND: `and after.data.get(k) == value` survives the suite and is load-bearing. Without it the rule degenerates to BARE-NAME matching - a deleted `unit/old-x/sign_reason` was reported as having migrated into a `sign_reason` holding a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT SENTENCE, and essentially every off-roster vanished `unit/*` key would be suppressed. Added to the paragraph and to INSTR-01, so all of `moved_to` is covered by one fixture design rather than two-thirds of one. ⚠️ AND THE POINT IS THAT THEY ARE FOUR CLAUSES OF **ONE COMPREHENSION**, WHICH IS STRUCTURAL AND NOT A LIST OF CHORES. Four conditions, four different reasons to exist, one fixture set that can reach only some at a time - so rebuilding a fixture to reach clause N moves the others. That is exactly how round 4's disarming happened, and it is what INSTR-01 has to design against rather than patch around. Review called this the sharpest thing found in four rounds and it is a fact about the function, not about the two clauses that exposed it. ⚠️ AND I OVERCLAIMED FOR MY OWN PRECONDITION. The round-4 message said the strengthened M12 precondition was needed because "the exit code alone cannot say the second thing". Review checked: on a clean run the finding regex matches nothing, so the second conjunct is IMPLIED by the first today. It is belt-and-braces, load-bearing only if the exit-0 requirement is ever relaxed. WHAT ACTUALLY CLOSED THE FIRST DRAFT'S GAP IS `_m12_new` BEING A SET DIFFERENCE - the mutation must ADD a finding - and that is the check the narrowing's removal turns red. The wrong half was credited, and the comment now says which half does the work. Nit: the fixture's trailing newline and two backticks, lost last round. `rehearse_roster.py` is still byte-identical tod1b7e3f- this round touches only the test file's disclosure paragraph and the fixture's comment. 28/28 pass.

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.
