The battery is 12 mutations, one freshly copied tree each, purged, `:ro`,
`python3 -B`, byte deltas measured. First round: 9 red, 3 survivors. All three
are now accounted for and the ledger is in DECISIONS §8.
M5 - `share <= 0` relaxed to `share == 0`, +0 B - WAS A REAL GAP AND THE TWO
OBVIOUS CHECKS DID NOT CLOSE IT. `short_by(-2000, 0) is None` and
`short_by(-2000, -100) is None` both stayed GREEN under the mutant: for a charge
share that is UNDER-delivered `share - measured` is negative and the `gap > 0`
test answers None anyway, so neither input can separate the two spellings. The
one that can is a unit moving MORE than its charge share - -2000 W told,
-3000 W measured, `share - measured` = +1000 W - which the mutant reports as a
shortfall. It is not one; it is something else driving that pack, which is
SAFETY-30's and SAFETY-31's question. That input is now the check, and M5 is RED.
MUTATION.md's third failure mode in miniature: the assertion ran, the sentence
was true, and the data could not reach the failure it named.
M11 - `inv.is_live(now)[0]` replaced by a literal `True`, -15 B - was a WIRING
gap the pure checks structurally could not see. `account(live=False, ...)` was
graded as a FUNCTION; nothing graded that `cycle()` asks the question, because no
fixture had a unit whose writes were being rejected. Such a unit still has its
last ACCEPTED command standing on the wire (`write_setpoint` leaves `last_write`
alone on a rejected write) and still measures nothing, so it looks exactly like a
wedged one to every number this check reads - and reporting it would be the
second, louder alarm about a state the allocator has already handled and logged.
`test_delivery.py` part 6 now builds that unit, with `rejected_since` back-dated
past LINK_STALE_S because the fixture runs in two seconds and the timer is
test_inverter.py's to grade. M11 is RED.
M3 - `len(asked) < 2` relaxed to `< 1`, +0 B - IS STILL A SURVIVOR, and it is an
EQUIVALENT MUTANT. With one asked unit `unaccounted` is a subset of a one-element
set, so it is either empty (`not unaccounted` returns {}) or equal to `asked`
(`len(unaccounted) == len(asked)` returns {}); with zero asked units both
spellings return {} as well. No input separates them, so no check can.
⚠️ AND FINDING IT CORRECTED THE MODULE'S OWN PROSE, WHICH IS THE MORE USEFUL
HALF. `delinquent()`'s docstring claimed `len(asked) < 2` was what makes N=1
inert. It is not - the PROPER-SUBSET rule is, and that line is a fast path and a
signpost. A false attribution of the mechanism in the file's own prose is exactly
what this repository keeps finding, and a mutation that survives is how it
surfaced. The line stays, with the equivalence written down beside it the way
circulation.circulating_w() records its own max(0.0, ...).
Also recorded, rather than left implicit: `account()`'s `parked` branch is graded
as a function but its WIRING is not mutated on its own; part 6's reversed-unit
fixture exercises it end to end, which is weaker, and the ledger says so.
Baseline 23/23 green before and after. app/main.py is byte-identical to the
previous commit - both closures are a test and a comment.

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.
