From 00cc94451f4f58f8834f6807bb71e7793c66cb2a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Claude Date: Sat, 13 Jun 2026 10:29:47 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 1/6] Fix resilient wrapper crashing on set_mode during backoff A read failure (e.g. refresh_api_values) starts a retry backoff window in which the inverter is presumed unavailable. Command operations (set_mode_*) were subject to the same backoff skip as reads, but have no cached value or default to fall back on. A set_mode_* call issued during the backoff window was therefore routed into _get_cached_or_default, which raised RuntimeError and crashed the whole process. Commands now degrade gracefully instead of raising: - During backoff the command is discarded (returns None) rather than fired at a presumed-unavailable inverter; batcontrol recalculates and re-issues the mode on the next cycle. - A command attempted outside backoff that fails also returns None instead of raising. Fail-fast before initialization and InverterOutageError after the outage tolerance window are preserved. https://claude.ai/code/session_019TARxrY2uWGTDuxwyugtqD --- src/batcontrol/inverter/resilient_wrapper.py | 55 ++++++++++-- .../inverter/test_resilient_wrapper.py | 83 +++++++++++++++++-- 2 files changed, 123 insertions(+), 15 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/batcontrol/inverter/resilient_wrapper.py b/src/batcontrol/inverter/resilient_wrapper.py index d05228c4..37251c92 100644 --- a/src/batcontrol/inverter/resilient_wrapper.py +++ b/src/batcontrol/inverter/resilient_wrapper.py @@ -221,7 +221,8 @@ def _call_with_resilience( cache_attr: Optional[str] = None, default_value: Any = None, method_args: tuple = (), - mark_initialized: bool = False + mark_initialized: bool = False, + is_command: bool = False ) -> Any: """ Call an inverter method with resilience handling. @@ -234,13 +235,33 @@ def _call_with_resilience( method_args: Arguments to pass to the method mark_initialized: If True, mark initialization complete on success (should only be True for set_mode_* calls) + is_command: If True, this is a write/command operation (set_mode_*) + with no cached fallback.

Replaced with two clear primitives: - _read(key, method, default): caches result, returns cached value during outages; the dict-based cache replaces the CachedValues dataclass. - _command(name, method, *args): discards silently during backoff, returns None on transient failure instead of crashing. The _on_failure helper now returns bool (True = re-raise) instead of mixing returns and raises, making the control flow easier to follow. Line count: 528 -> 278 (wrapper), 651 -> 380 (tests).

The wrapper no longer caches reads or discards writes. After the first successful set_mode_* (initialization), any inverter failure raises InverterCommunicationError. core.run() catches it, skips the control cycle and retries on the next scheduled run - the loop interval is the natural backoff, and no decision is ever made on stale data. - A failure that persists past outage_tolerance_minutes escalates to InverterOutageError, which propagates to __main__ and terminates (unchanged). - Errors before initialization still propagate unchanged (fail-fast on config). - Externally triggered control (api_set_mode/charge_rate/limit, set_discharge_blocked) runs on background threads and tolerates a transient outage via the _tolerate_inverter_outage decorator; termination stays driven by the main run() loop. New InverterError base with InverterCommunicationError; refresh_api_values is best-effort. Removes CachedValues, retry backoff and get_outage_status. The retry_backoff_seconds config option is dropped. resilient_wrapper.py: 528 -> 208 lines. https://claude.ai/code/session_019TARxrY2uWGTDuxwyugtqD --- config/batcontrol_config_dummy.yaml | 3 +- docs/configuration/inverter-configuration.md | 14 +- src/batcontrol/core.py | 43 +++ src/batcontrol/inverter/__init__.py | 6 +- src/batcontrol/inverter/exceptions.py | 34 ++- src/batcontrol/inverter/inverter.py | 11 +- src/batcontrol/inverter/resilient_wrapper.py | 224 ++++++---------- .../inverter/test_resilient_wrapper.py | 250 ++++++------------ tests/batcontrol/test_core.py | 37 +++ 9 files changed, 279 insertions(+), 343 deletions(-) diff --git a/config/batcontrol_config_dummy.yaml b/config/batcontrol_config_dummy.yaml index a292f8d1..a1393fe8 100644 --- a/config/batcontrol_config_dummy.yaml +++ b/config/batcontrol_config_dummy.yaml @@ -104,9 +104,8 @@ inverter: # Only affects mode 8; ignored in other modes. # fronius_inverter_id: '1' # Optional: ID of the inverter in Fronius API (default: '1') # fronius_controller_id: '0' # Optional: ID of the controller in Fronius API (default: '0') - enable_resilient_wrapper: false # Enable resilient wrapper for graceful outage handling (default: false) + enable_resilient_wrapper: false # Skip a control cycle on transient inverter outages instead of terminating (default: false) outage_tolerance_minutes: 24 # Minutes to tolerate inverter outages before terminating (default: 24) - retry_backoff_seconds: 60 # Seconds to wait before retrying after a failure (default: 60) #-------------------------- # Dynamic Tariff Provider diff --git a/docs/configuration/inverter-configuration.md b/docs/configuration/inverter-configuration.md index 04283edb..84819b1f 100644 --- a/docs/configuration/inverter-configuration.md +++ b/docs/configuration/inverter-configuration.md @@ -22,7 +22,9 @@ Default: These options enable graceful handling of temporary inverter outages (e.g., during firmware upgrades or network interruptions). ### enable_resilient_wrapper -Enable or disable the resilient wrapper for graceful outage handling.

pure boilerplate. The optional methods it provided fallbacks for (get_designed_capacity, get_usable_capacity, get_mqtt_inverter_topic, publish_inverter_discovery_messages) live in the backend baseclass and are only ever called internally on the backend, never on the wrapper, so the wrapper never needed them. Replace the whole thing with a __getattr__ proxy: delegate every attribute and method to the wrapped inverter and intercept only failing method calls. The outage classification (fail-fast before init, InverterCommunicationError within tolerance, InverterOutageError past it) is unchanged; shutdown and refresh_api_values stay best-effort. No longer subclasses InverterInterface (the ABC's abstractmethods are satisfied by delegation, not concrete overrides). Existing wrapper tests pass unchanged. resilient_wrapper.py: 208 -> 114 lines (528 at the start of this work). https://claude.ai/code/session_019TARxrY2uWGTDuxwyugtqD --- src/batcontrol/inverter/inverter.py | 2 - src/batcontrol/inverter/resilient_wrapper.py | 222 ++++++------------- 2 files changed, 64 insertions(+), 160 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/batcontrol/inverter/inverter.py b/src/batcontrol/inverter/inverter.py index 37f81e50..ec6c6c11 100644 --- a/src/batcontrol/inverter/inverter.py +++ b/src/batcontrol/inverter/inverter.py @@ -129,7 +129,5 @@ def create_inverter(config: dict) -> InverterInterface: inverter, outage_tolerance_seconds=outage_tolerance, ) - # Preserve inverter_num on wrapper - resilient_inverter.inverter_num = inverter.inverter_num return resilient_inverter diff --git a/src/batcontrol/inverter/resilient_wrapper.py b/src/batcontrol/inverter/resilient_wrapper.py index 2c3191b2..07536abc 100644 --- a/src/batcontrol/inverter/resilient_wrapper.py +++ b/src/batcontrol/inverter/resilient_wrapper.py @@ -1,21 +1,25 @@ -"""Resilient Inverter Wrapper - thin fault-tolerance layer. - -Concept (deliberately simple - no caching, no backoff timers): - -- Before the first successful set_mode_* call every error propagates - unchanged, so configuration mistakes fail fast at startup. -- After initialization an inverter failure raises InverterCommunicationError. - The caller (core.run) aborts the current control cycle and retries on the - next scheduled run - the loop interval is the natural backoff, and no - decision is ever made on stale data. +"""Resilient inverter proxy - normalizes backend communication failures. + +This is a thin __getattr__ proxy around any inverter backend.

When enabl Errors before the first successful control command still fail fast, so configuration mistakes are caught at startup. +Why not just let batcontrol crash and rely on the container restart policy? Without the wrapper, every inverter outage terminates the process, and `restart: unless-stopped` brings it straight back up. During a multi-minute outage this turns into a tight restart loop, and **each restart re-fetches the price and solar forecasts from their providers**. Repeated cold starts can therefore run into provider rate limits (e.g. Awattar/Tibber for prices, Forecast.Solar/SolarPrognose for solar), which can leave batcontrol without fresh data even after the inverter recovers.
