tajniak81andClaude Opus 5 2425a8d3d6 A field we have no name for is still a field it sent
Two cards on the Charging page were answering with a fraction of what the charger
and the account actually report, and in both the losses happened quietly, in a
parse that kept the fields it recognised and dropped the rest on the floor.

Charger information asked three account-wide views and kept fourteen fields.
A charger registered on its own is absent from the site view, which is the only
one of the three carrying state, charge power and OCPP status — so exactly the
charger that stands alone got the column of dashes, and nothing said why. The
per-charger station record, get_evcharger_station_info, is what the mobile app
opens when you tap a charger, and it is the one view that answers for a charger
outside a station; it is now the fourth view, asked per charger, a failure there
costing that charger's row and no more. Alongside it, every field each of the
four views sent is kept as attrs, under the cloud's own key, nested objects
joined with a dot and arrays carrying their index. First view to answer a key
wins, which is the rule the named fields already merged by. Two hundred keys and
two hundred and forty runes per value keep a station record with a session list
from becoming the whole card.

Charger readings lost data twice over. The frame decoder skipped any field byte
its per-message map could not name, and a message type with no map decoded to
nothing at all; those fields are now kept under the message and the byte they
arrived in — 0410.c9 — decoded but unscaled, because a factor is half of a
meaning and we do not have the other half. Then the projection read forty-odd
names into typed fields and dropped the remainder: sessionStartedAt, the
per-phase session energies, the three touch modes, the load-balance monitor and
its meter flag, the solar monitor. Those land in extra, and the list maintains
itself — the four accessors note every key they read, extra is what is left, and
a field modelled later stops appearing there without anyone remembering to
remove it.

Keeping unnamed fields had one consequence worth guarding. An unmapped message
now decodes to something rather than nothing, and ingest stamped settingsAt for
anything that was not telemetry — the timestamp a control command waits on to
say the charger acknowledged it. A frame we cannot read is not an
acknowledgement, so the stamp is now conditional on the message type being one
we map, while its fields are kept either way.

Both cards show the remainder as what it is: the service's own key, no unit, no
translation, no renaming, under a heading that says whose words these are. The
blocks appear only when there is something in them, so a Modbus charger's
readings card and a charger the cloud says nothing more about are unchanged.
Naming one of these fields is a later commit, made from evidence; inventing a
label for it today would only make a guess look settled.

tajniak81andClaude Opus 5 1dc20461de A raw key, a bare number, and two columns of dashes
Switch the control mode to the Anker cloud and the charging cards still read as
though they were built for Modbus. Three separate causes, and none of them was
the shared layout — the cards already branch on the control mode in sixteen
places, which is why the address fields, the reset button and the skip-delay
button each appear only under the transport that has them.

The loudest was a missing string. The cloud transport arrived with three keys the
templates call and the language files never got: cloudNote, cloudLocalFound and
skipDelay. A key missing from English returns itself, deliberately, so that a gap
shows up in the UI instead of rendering as a blank — and it did, as
"charging.control.cloudNote" sitting in the connection card where a sentence
belongs. All three are added, in both surfaces and all three languages, so the
Phone App is not left showing the same raw key.

The second was an enum wearing one name over two transports. Modbus register
20087 reports the phase mode as 1 single-phase or 3 three-phase; the cloud's own
field reports 0 automatic or 1 single-phase. Only phaseMode1 and phaseMode3 had
labels, so a cloud charger sitting on automatic rendered "Running on 0" — the
enum fell back to printing the number, which is the right fallback and the wrong
answer. phaseMode0 is added. Worth naming the shape of this one: it is the same
collision that made the cloud's d9 field wrong when it was called chargingMode
after the register at 20088, and a third transport reporting a 3 that means
something else would break it again.

The third was honest but useless. Reactive and apparent power are registers of
their own and the cloud has no message carrying either, so over that transport
those two columns could only ever be three dashes each. They now appear when the
charger actually reports them, which also tidies up a Modbus charger whose
firmware leaves them out.

The layout stays shared. A value both transports report should keep one name and
one row, and what each transport can be told still branches where it has to.

tajniak81andClaude Opus 5 576df58776 Go the way the owner's phone already goes
Control had two transports and neither fitted the ordinary customer. OCPP waits
for the charger to dial in, which needs a public endpoint it can reach, a
certificate, and a firmware willing to talk to our CSMS. Modbus TCP dials the
charger, which needs the server on the charger's own network. Between them they
cover a charger we host and a charger we stand next to; the common case is a
charger behind someone else's router, and that had nothing.

It was never unreachable, though. The charger holds a connection open to Anker's
own broker — it is how the mobile app drives it from anywhere, and it is the
mqttStatus register the Modbus snapshot has been reporting all along. So a third
control mode joins that broker as the account: get_user_mqtt_info issues a client
certificate, mTLS to aiot-mqtt-eu.anker.com:8883, and commands go out on the same
topics the app publishes on. Nothing on the customer's side has to be forwarded,
addressed or certificated.

What travels is not an API call. The payload is a JSON envelope around a base64
binary frame the device itself speaks — marker, little-endian length, message
type, name/length/type/value fields, XOR checksum — so mqttframe.go is a codec
rather than a client, written from the message maps in anker-solix-api and
anchored on the one frame that project documents byte for byte. A frame whose
fields do not tile exactly up to the checksum is refused rather than half-read:
these arrive over a link we do not control, and a truncated frame must not read
as a charger reporting zeros.

Two of the charger's habits shape the rest. It publishes nothing unless asked, so
a status read arms a telemetry trigger and waits for the next frame, and a poll
inside that window answers from what has since arrived. And a broker connection
costs a fetched certificate and a TLS handshake while the plugin manager builds a
throwaway instance per request — so the connection lives on the account's shared
session beside the auth token, for exactly the reason the token lives there, and
closes itself after five idle minutes.

The transport also sees two signals no other one does: the boost flag, and the
plug and start countdowns. The package doc has said since the first commit that
they are never set and the derived mode must do without them. Here they are set,
so a charger that has been told to start and is counting down a delay says so
rather than sitting in "preparing", and "skip the delay" is offered only while
there is a delay to skip.

The clients generalise instead of growing a second layout. Both snapshots name
the same quantities the same way, so what was Modbus-only in the readouts is now
whichever transport read the charger — ModbusStatus becomes ChargerStatus on the
phone, mb becomes dev on the web. What each transport can be *told* still
differs, and the buttons branch on that: reset and clear-limit stay with OCPP,
the timeout and phase registers with Modbus, skip-delay with the cloud. A command
a transport has no equivalent for is refused by name, saying which one has it.

The cost is worth saying plainly. This leans on Anker's cloud being up and on an
unofficial protocol the app may change under us, where Modbus leans on nothing
but the LAN. And it is checked against the reference implementation's own worked
example rather than against hardware — there is no charger on this end to point
it at.

tajniak81andClaude Opus 5 641f427db4 The chargers you own, on the phone as well
The web's Charging page grew a real home half while the phone kept a demo one.
There, a charger is a record imported from a connected service; here it was a
hardcoded row called "Home charger", and the only real thing on the tab was a
single OCPP control card. Modbus had been a working transport for a while, and
the phone had no way to give it the address it needs.

The home tab is now the four cards the web shows, about whichever charger is
picked, and the list of the ones you have imported. Control acts on the charger
and offers what the transport actually has — boost on Modbus, clear-limit and
reset on OCPP. Connection asks for a serial or an address depending on which,
and falls back to a text box for a serial the account does not list. Readings
render the Modbus snapshot the way it gets asked about: the per-phase matrix,
what the charger is doing, what it is set to, what it is, and any alarm word.
Information stands without a control mode at all, because what a charger is is
known either way; beside it the service's own view of whether it is reachable,
asked for when the tab is opened rather than on every build.

Rearranging is the one place the two apps differ, for the reason the car's view
picker already differs: the web drags the tab bar and the card headings, and on
a touch screen the bar owns that gesture and a heading is the fold toggle. Both
arrangements are made in a sheet with handles instead, and still saved to
chargerTabOrder / chargerCardOrder on the profile — so an arrangement made in
either app shows up in the other. Which cards are folded stays on the device.

Settings groups its integrations into the same categories the API Server panel
does, says Online as well as Offline, and shows firmware in a charger's line.
Shared strings are copied out of the web's i18n files rather than retyped, per
TRANSLATIONS.md; only the arrange sheet's own three are written here.

The readings and information cards look up some sixty keys by name at render
time, so models_format_test now guards those the way it guards the car's — an
enum value is deliberately left out, since a charger may report a number this
release has never heard of and falling back to it is the point.

tajniak81andClaude Opus 5 e138fad3f4 Anker: every charger on the account, not just the ones outside a station
get_user_bind_and_not_in_station_evchargers is the only list the connector ever
asked for, and its name says exactly what it withholds. A charger that belongs to
a system is not in it. Its userBindEvChargersCount, though, counts every charger
bound to the account — so an owner with two chargers in a system got "authenticated;
2 EV charger(s) bound to account" from the health probe and an empty list from the
capability that is supposed to show them. A working login that finds nothing.

So the capability now asks every view the cloud has and merges them by serial. The
standalone list still answers for chargers standing on their own; get_site_list
walks the systems and reads each one through get_scen_info, falling back to
get_system_running_info where that is silent — the power-service / HES split
charger-state already knows; and get_relate_and_bind_devices contributes model,
firmware and the Wi-Fi flag, and discovers anything in the A519 family that the
first two missed. Whichever way a charger was registered, one of the three has it.

The merge is first-writer-wins per field rather than last view overwriting: the
standalone record knows the name, the site record knows the live state, and neither
should blank what the other established. A view that fails is a warning on the
document instead of an error on the call, because one dead endpoint should not
cost the chargers the other two found. Only losing all three is a failure. When
nothing comes back at all the response says so in its own words and names the
remaining suspect — country picks the regional server, and the wrong one
authenticates happily and shows an empty account.

The other half of "not showing any chargers" was that neither client ever showed a
list. The serial was a text box, and the number is printed on a charger hanging on
a wall. Both apps now list what the account holds — name, serial, model, site,
state, an offline badge — and hand the serial to the OCPP control card instead of
asking anyone to go and read it. Where control is off the list still stands on its
own, as the answer to the first question an owner has after entering credentials.

tajniak81andClaude Opus 4.8 13f50aa9a4 Phone App: add Charging screen + Settings integration tabs
Brings the Flutter app to parity with the recent Web App changes, which
touched features the Phone App did not yet have — so this builds the
Charging and Integrations subsystems, then applies the tab/fold structure.

Charging (new nav destination): split into "Public chargers" (stylized
discovery map + demo session + nearby public stations) and "Home chargers"
(the real Anker Solix OCPP control card — serial refresh, connector/energy
tiles, start/stop, current limit, password step-up on reset — plus the
user's home charger list). Gated by the per-user control mode, degrading to
a Settings hint when off.

Settings: split into "Personal settings" (the existing account/appearance/
profile/security/privacy/danger sections) and "Integrations". The latter
holds foldable Toyota and Anker Solix cards over the superadmin -> org ->
user cascade: locked fields with "inherited from" notes, org-admin scope
switch, enable toggle, save/test with health result, and Anker OCPP token
provisioning. Both tabs stay mounted (IndexedStack) so in-flight edits
survive a switch.

Adds the integration + OCPP control endpoints to api.dart, the resolved
IntegrationView/Scope/Field, IntegrationHealth and AnkerControl models, and
charging.*/settings.tabs.*/nav.charging strings (en/pl/da) plus
settings.integrations.* (en) — mirroring the Web App's own pl/da coverage,
which leaves integrations and charger control untranslated as an English
fallback.
