⚠️ REVIEW DEFEATED THIS CARD'S OWN FIX WITH ONE ADDED KEY, and the project's own instrument agreed on the unmodified tree. The guard classified each key and then wrote ONE site-wide `namespaced_latched` for BOTH "on the roster" and "off-roster but not UNIT_A", so a single latched key belonging to a unit the operator had removed from `inverters:` vetoed the repair of the misdirected `inverter-a` latch beside it. Measured, roster ['garage','shed'], store stamped so the migration fix cannot reach it: sign_tripped + unit/inverter-a/sign_tripped -> [('garage', True), ...] ...AND unit/old-shed/sign_tripped -> ⚠️ [('garage', False), ...] A site DRIVING on a state file that reads `sign_tripped: true` - the sentence in this card's own first paragraph - and `tools/rehearse_roster.py` printed `LATCH CAME UP DISARMED` on it, exit 1, against shipped code. It matters more than a normal hole because this guard is, as main.py says, the ONLY repair path for an install already stamped by 0.9.0. ⚠️ AND IT IS INSTANCE #17 OF HABIT 4, IN THE EXTENSION MUTATION.md ADDED TWO DAYS AGO. The two fixtures written for this card each hold ONE arrangement - `_staged_store` has only `inverter-a`, `_other_store` only `inverter-b` - so the flag was never written twice with opposite intents in a single store. A per-key check whose keys have never disagreed WITHIN ONE STORE is a check over whichever key came last. Three variables now, one per case, and a fixture holding BOTH. Four cases driven: stranded-only repairs, +1 unrelated repairs, +2 repairs, off-roster-only does NOT (which is DEV-02's control, still green). ⭐ AND THE MOVED-NOT-LOST RULE HID A GENUINE LATCH LOSS. The match was bare key plus value over the whole of `machine_read`, with no identity - and `DEFAULTS["sign_tripped"] is False`, so the ONLY non-default value a latch can hold is `True`. Any surviving latched roster unit therefore suppressed any other unit's vanished latch. Review measured a build that drops `unit/shed/sign_*` while `unit/garage/sign_*` survives, both latched by one site event so the reasons matched too: none in LEG SAME-STEP: nothing vanished, nothing stranded ... NO FINDINGS in the rehearsed transitions exit 0 A roster unit's persisted SAFETY-02 latch deleted, transition reported clean. The legitimate case is a RENAME - the key left `inverter-a`, which is not on this roster, and arrived under `garage`, which is - so the vanished key's own unit must be OFF the roster. A key whose unit is still on the roster has not been renamed, it has been lost, and no amount of the same value elsewhere makes that untrue. ⚠️ AND THE BOUND I CITED FOR IT DID NOT EXIST. Both the comment and the last commit message said "what M3 (delete the flat rollback view) measures". M3 is not that mutant - it drops `sign_reason` from `LEGACY_UNIT_KEYS` - and the one I meant, M9, vanishes only FLAT keys, so neither can satisfy the `unit/` gate the rule sits behind. NEITHER EXERCISED THE BRANCH; it had no negative control at all, in a card whose subject is checks that cannot reach the failure they name. A citation is the worst carrier for that, because it reads as having been checked. M12 is written for it and driven: a roster unit that stops restoring its latch is exit 1, and the suppression does not swallow it. `misdirected` IS UNREACHABLE FROM THE CALL SITE, and the claim that it was a benefit is withdrawn rather than restated. `unit` is `roster_names(opts)[0]` and `build_roster()` names its first entry from the same list, so `unit` is a member of `roster` by construction; review measured it - dropping the `roster` argument inside `migrate_unit_keys()` survives 28/28. The argument stays for the reason `_verify_moves()` gives for its own `roster=None` branch, it is what a NEW caller gets - and a guard nothing exercises is a guard nobody knows works, so it is now exercised at the function's own level: a wrong `unit` comes back misdirected, the marker is not stamped, and the same call with a roster name stamps it. Dead `if _roster_names else UNIT_A` removed; `roster_names()` never returns []. THE OPERATOR MESSAGE IS ASSERTED. Review deleted it whole (`if stranded:` -> `if False:`) and 28/28 stayed green - `stranded` had no other consumer, so the list existed only to print a line nothing checked, and that line is the entire operator-facing half of the repair. Now: exactly one SAFETY-44 line at ERROR, naming the stranded key and the roster it was measured against. A wrong line citation removed: the call-site comment said "line 315's comment" and "two hundred lines below", and both were wrong (315 is the CFG-03 defaults note; the comment meant is ~54 lines down). Cite the thing, not its coordinates. ⚠️ AND WHAT 5b/5c ACTUALLY PIN IS RECORDED, because review is owed the distinction: `mutant_tree()` asserts its target exists, so EDITING the guarded line makes the file red at the ANCHOR before any behaviour is measured - which looks identical from the exit code and proves much less. It happened twice while writing this commit. The behavioural coverage lives in test_maintenance.py section 13 and test_inverter.py, which build stores rather than strings. Fixture strings no longer say "measured" - they are synthetic, and the repo's other fixture carries an explicit SYNTHETIC header. 28/28 files 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.
