The scanner's two censuses between them scored ONE syntactic sink and called it
the family. Every one of census B's 16 members was a sentence that is APPENDED,
ASSIGNED to a `reason`-shaped name, or passed as a LOG ARGUMENT. Not one was
RETURNED - and census A's return bucket only ever held a callee formatting its
own PARAMETERS, so a method formatting its own ATTRIBUTES and handing the string
back was invisible to both. That is the whole describe() / explain() /
reason-builder family, which is where this repository actually keeps its
operator sentences. Worse than the gap: it was in NONE of the five blind spots
the tool printed about itself.
THE SCANNER, WIDENED - and it rediscovered both members without being told:
* CENSUS C, the return sink, resolved through the returning method's CALL
SITES so a returned KEY (store.unit_key, mqtt.unit_state_key - MAINT-05's
card) is not mistaken for a returned SENTENCE. 53 returned pairs, 39
reaching an operator, 16 of those sharing a format spec.
* A sentence handed to a constructor as `reason=` or placed under a "text"
dict key is a MESSAGE. That one line of the sink walker was hiding SIX more
caller-built members, census B 16 -> 22.
* Every census B and C row now prints whether the two interpolations share a
FORMAT SPEC - the difference between a transposition that is silent and one
that merely looks broken.
* The blind-spot list is now TWO lists: what it scans (printed from the
constants, so they cannot drift) and WHAT IT DOES NOT SCAN AT ALL, largest
hole first - `%s`-style lazy logging, MEASURED at 31 calls across 8 modules
and each one listed, not asserted.
CLOSED, both zero-byte survivors of a green 21-file suite:
* clamp.py:253 ClampResult.describe(), requested_w <-> applied_w. No
test_*.py mentioned describe() at all. It is the SS15 action-log row
(main.py:1366) AND the ClampWatchdog notification reason (main.py:2452) -
the alarm SAFETY-40 and SAFETY-41 are about. Under the swap the guard
reports a setpoint clamped UPWARD, to +9999 W by a bound whose rating the
same sentence gives as 2000 W. Pinned on the ORDERED PAIR on the contiguous
literal at BOTH consumers, operands read off ctl.target and
hass.writes[-1] - what the loop asked and what the device was sent - not
off the ClampResult the swap lives in. 4 checks red.
* peakguard.py:493 PeakDecision.explain(), projected_w <-> ceiling_w. "peak
guard idle" was in no test_*.py. The row then reads "projects 5013 W under
a 2300 W ceiling" - 2713 W OVER - on a row whose own words say idle and
whose own flag says ok. Pinned on the decision and on the shipped status
row. 3 checks red.
* test_arbiter.py's scope-violation check, whose CLAIM was wider than its
ASSERTION. Measured this round rather than left at source level: 0 bytes,
21/21 green before, red now. 2 checks.
DISCLOSED, NOT CLOSED - 11 measured zero-byte survivors, each with its file
fingerprint and its 21/21 verdict, in the decision doc SS7e-SS7g. Three in
allocator.py's UnitPlan.explain(), three across arbiter.py's two explain()s,
two in tariff.py, two in arbitrage.py's trade reasons, one in main.py's
SoC-floor notification. An enumerated list with honest gaps beats a fifth round
finding a fifth instance.
CORRECTIONS THIS ROUND OWES:
* The idle sentence does NOT reach main.py:3299/3302 - those are the
floor-limited branch, where explain() returns self.reason before the idle
literal is built. It reaches main.py:3313 and, on the release edge, 1951.
1951 is disclosed unpinned.
* SS4's "Every one of the ten is red" sat under a twelve-row table: it is the
ten site_standing entries.
* SS6b said "weaker evidence than A1-A3"; A4 was measured, so SS7d's
"A1-A4 and B1" is the right list and SS6b now says it.
* AND THE PROBE THAT GRADES THESE MUTATIONS WAS THE DEFECT, ONCE. Its first
cut numbered the operands BY ORDER OF APPEARANCE, so after a transposition
the other leaf took the same number and all thirteen mutant renders came
back byte-identical - which reads exactly like "the edit is inert". Keying
the value to the NAME fixed it. Habit 4, in the measuring instrument:
MUTATION.md habit 16 is the new entry, and the count there is corrected to
eleven rather than inflated.
14 mutations measured: fresh full-repo copy each, mounted :ro, bytecode purged
and the purge COUNT printed, the edit re-read from disk, length and sha256
printed on both sides, and every one required to change the EMITTED SENTENCE
and not merely the bytes. 12 survived the pre-round suite, 1 was already
caught, 3 are caught now. Full 21-file suite green on the final tree.
NOT ONE BYTE OF app/ MOVES. This card changes coverage only.

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.
