feat(installer): installer-password gate, one-time hardware current, … - #1334
Conversation
…drop GFCI advisory Backend for the GUI's Installer Tools page (gui-nightshift install_tools): - installer_password config option (default "installer"), never serialised or accepted through the public config paths. - POST /installer/verify, /installer/password and /installer/maxcurrent: login + GUI-only header, shared 5-failure/30 s throttle. maxcurrent goes through EvseManager::setMaxHardwareCurrent, i.e. OpenEVSE_Lib setCurrentCapacityFactoryLimit ($SC xx M); the controller accepts it once. - Stop raising the safety.gfci_check advisory: the self-test is legitimately off on a GFCI-protected circuit. - Bump gui-nightshift pointer and regenerate src/web_static. - docs/installer_tools.md.

Suggested reviewers: Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to Installer Tools adds password-gated hardware-current and password endpoints without widening access beyond existing configuration paths. Three small follow-ups remain: one edge case can leave the installer lockout reporting 429 after long inactivity, and two documentation passes need correcting. The change is otherwise mergeable.

Treat equal-value results as indeterminate.
When a repeat request equals the stored value, the controller rejects the write, but /config still matches the request. The comparison cannot distinguish rejection from acceptance.

Use a non-wrapping monotonic clock for the installer lockout.
If a lockout goes unchecked for about 24.9 days after its deadline, the signed difference can become positive again. A valid POST to /installer/verify, /installer/password, or /installer/maxcurrent can then receive HTTP 429 with a retry time of about 24.7 days. The false lockout can persist until the deadline-relative millis() difference wraps again, about 49.7 days after the deadline, or the device restarts. Use a 64-bit monotonic clock to set and check the deadline, or clear expired state in a periodic path that runs independently of installer requests. Widening the stored deadline while continuing to use millis() does not fix the wrap.

EvseMonitor::setMaxHardwareCurrent clamps to [min current, current hardware maximum] rather than refusing, and $SC xx M is write-once. A request above the current maximum therefore spent the one-time write on the old value, and the GUI then reported it as already set. Refuse anything outside that range with 400 (+min, max) instead; in practice the limit can only come down. Checked against the emulator: 90 and 81 refused (max 80), 50 sent and taken, after which max reads 50. Moves gui-nightshift to the matching Installer page fix.

Checked against the emulator: 90 and 81 A are refused (max 80); 50 A is sent and taken; after that the max reads 50 and the next 400 reports 🤖 Generated with Claude Code |
The GUI side of Installer Tools (gui-nightshift#164) is merged and ships in the next GUI release, via the usual pointer-bump PR. This PR pinned 5eef3f9, a commit on the GUI's install_tools branch that never reached the GUI main branch (#164 was squashed), so the pin would break once that branch is deleted. Firmware-only now; the current GUI simply does not call the new /installer endpoints.
Master merged the installer tools (#1334) and added the route to the feature map, but the embedded gui-nightshift build has no installer page yet, so no scenario can pass. Record it under 'Waiting for the UI', as for /settings/shellylnm. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01Pz3ab164j9rZTfUirggpcb

Installer Tools
Settings → System → Installer Tools (directly below Developer Tools) holds the commissioning controls an installer sets once and an owner should not casually change. The page is locked behind an installer password.
Why a password
NEC 625.42 (2023) lets an EVSE with adjustable current be sized to its set current rather than its nameplate, but only if access to the adjusting means is restricted — a tool-only cover, a lock, or password-protected commissioning software available only to qualified personnel. The installer password is the third option. Confirm the wording against the NEC edition adopted where the charger is installed.
What is on the page
$SC xx Mthrough OpenEVSE_Lib (setCurrentCapacityFactoryLimit). One-time only.Hardware maximum current
The controller accepts
$SC xx Monly while its EEPROM byte (EOFS_MAX_HW_CURRENT_CAPACITY) has never been written; any later attempt returns$NK, and nothing in RAPI can erase it. The page says so, and tells the installer to set the lower of the station maximum and the circuit maximum. The circuit maximum is the branch-circuit breaker rating × 80%, because an EV charging load is a continuous load (NEC 210.19(A)(1), 210.20(A), 625.42).The charger can only report that the command was sent. The page waits two seconds, re-reads
/config, and comparesmax_current_hardwith the request, so a refused write (already set once) is reported as unchanged rather than as success. The range accepted is 6–80 A, the controller's own limits.GFCI self-test advisory removed
The GFCI self-test is legitimately off wherever the circuit is itself GFCI protected, so
safety.gfci_checkis no longer raised as an advisory (firmware rule, label and GUI copy removed). Thegfci_checksetting and its toggle are unchanged. The other five safety-check advisories now link to Installer Tools instead of Safety.Password handling
installer(INSTALLER_PASSWORD_DEFAULT), used by a fresh or factory-reset unit.installer_password(short nameipw), alongsidewww_password, in plain text.config_strip_internal()removes it from every/configread and write, every path that goes throughconfig_deserialize()(HTTP, MQTT, the serial config command). The GUI therefore cannot verify it locally and asks the charger.Endpoints
All are
POST, JSON body, require the normal login and theX-Requested-With: OpenEVSEheader (as the crash-report identity endpoints do)./installer/verify{"password"}ok, 403wrong password, 429locked/installer/password{"current","new"}changed, 400invalid password, 403, 429/installer/maxcurrent{"password","amps"}sent(+requested,previous), 400amps out of range, 403, 429Five wrong passwords lock all three endpoints for 30 seconds (
429withretry_afterseconds). The counter is shared and held in RAM, so a reboot clears it.Limits to be aware of
This is a commissioning gate, not strong authentication.
www_password.POST /configstill acceptsmax_current_hardfrom any logged-in client, as do the legacy UI, MQTT and RAPI. The controller's write-once rule is what actually protects the hardware limit; the password protects the GUI path. Closing the/configpath would break those other clients, so it was left alone.Summary by CodeRabbit
