The Names block (between SetupData and Voices) was previously walked
as opaque bytes. It's actually a sequence of seven object-family
tables, each storing N × String8(L) per the
clsAbstractNamedItem.ReadName / clsPcaCryptFileStream.ReadString8(out S, byte L)
pattern. Per-slot layout is [1 byte actual length][L bytes name],
with length 0 meaning "unused".
New PcaAccount fields:
* zone_names, unit_names, button_names, code_names,
thermostat_names, area_names, message_names
— each is {1-based slot: name}, only non-empty slots.
Object *properties* (zone_type, area_membership, etc.) aren't
extracted yet — those live in SetupData, which remains opaque.
Names alone unlock the biggest win: meaningful entity labels in
HA from a .pca snapshot.
MockState.from_pca now seeds zones/units/areas/thermostats/buttons
with MockZoneState/MockUnitState/etc. instances carrying just the
name. Defaults handle everything else. A connected client sees the
real panel's names through normal wire discovery (UploadNames
streams them back, properties synth fills the rest).
New end-to-end test verifies the HA integration discovers all 16
zones, 44 units, 16 buttons, 2 thermostats from the live fixture
when the MockPanel is built via MockState.from_pca — proving the
full file → mock → wire → HA pipeline.
Live fixture: 16 zones, 44 units, 16 buttons, 8 codes, 2 thermostats,
0 areas, 8 messages, 330 programs. (Areas in this v1 install have
no user-assigned names — expected.)
Full suite: 499 passed, 1 skipped (fixture-gated).
The hour byte of a TIMED program is overloaded as a 1-of-3 discriminator:
0..23 means absolute wall-clock time, 25 means sunrise-relative, 26 means
sunset-relative. For the relative forms, the minute byte is signed
(sbyte) -- positive = after, negative = before, zero = at. Source:
frmPopUpEditTime.cs:186-217 (decode) + :241-263 (encode).
This was the canary that tripped our earlier sanity test: slots 182/183
in the live fixture have hour=26 minute=246 and hour=25 minute=10 --
nominally invalid as clock times, but they're "10 min before sunset"
and "10 min after sunrise" respectively. With this commit those decode
cleanly via TimeKind.SUNSET / SUNRISE.
omni_pca.programs:
* New TimeKind IntEnum: ABSOLUTE / SUNRISE / SUNSET.
* New Program.time_kind property (classifies via hour-byte discriminator).
* New Program.time_offset_minutes property (signed minutes-offset for
sunrise/sunset; 0 for absolute).
* New Program.format_time() -> str: "07:15" | "at sunrise" | "30 min
before sunset" etc.
* Module-level _classify_time helper + sentinel constants
_HR_SUNRISE_SENTINEL=25 / _HR_SUNSET_SENTINEL=26.
omni_pca top-level: re-exports TimeKind.
tests/test_programs.py (+13 cases):
* Parametrised TimeKind classification across absolute / sunrise /
sunset including boundary cases (sbyte ±128, ±1, 0).
* Wire-bytes round-trip preserves TimeKind + offset.
tests/test_pca_file.py: tightened the previously-loosened sanity
invariant. ABSOLUTE-time TIMED programs must hit valid wall-clock
ranges (0-23 / 0-59); relative-time programs must have a valid sbyte
offset (-128..127). Both pass cleanly on the 209 TIMED programs in
the live fixture (207 absolute, 1 sunrise, 1 sunset).
Full suite: 439 passed, 1 skipped (was 426 / 1).
Decodes the remark-text dict that Remark-typed program records refer to
via their 32-bit BE RemarkID. The table lives after the Connection
block in PCA03 files; getting to it means walking past ModemBaud +
PCModemInit flags + AccountRemarks_Extended + nine 33-byte-per-entry
Description blocks (Zones, Units, Buttons, Codes, Thermostats, Areas,
Messages, AudioSources, AudioZones).
Format reverse-engineered from clsPrograms.ReadRemarks (clsPrograms.cs:
148-168) and the file-body walker in clsHAC.cs:8055-8079. Each entry is
[u32 LE remark_id][u16 LE text_length][N bytes UTF-8], preceded by a
[u32 LE _RemarksNextID][u32 LE count] header.
pca_file changes:
* PcaAccount.remarks: dict[int, str] (default {}).
* New _walk_to_remarks helper called from parse_pca_file when
file_version >= 3. Best-effort: any read failure leaves remarks={}.
* New _DESCRIPTION_SLOT_BYTES (= 33) constant.
tests/test_pca_file.py (4 new cases):
* Walker on an empty Remarks table (decode count=0 cleanly).
* Walker decodes three hand-built entries, including a UTF-8 string
with non-ASCII characters.
* Truncated input returns {} rather than raising.
* Live fixture (Our_House.pca.plain): walker consumes the prelude +
nine description blocks + zero-count remarks block without raising.
This panel has no Remark-typed programs, so {} is the expected
result -- and the *coarse* walker validation here is what proves
the description-block sizes (counts up to 511) are correct.
Full suite: 426 passed, 1 skipped (was 422 / 1).
First reverse-engineering pass on the panel's built-in automation
engine. Adds a typed Python Program dataclass that decodes/encodes the
14-byte program record used both on the wire (clsOLMsgProgramData) and
on disk (the 21,000-byte Programs block in a .pca file).
Coverage:
* enums: ProgramType, ProgramCond, Days bitmask
* Program dataclass with from_wire_bytes / from_file_record /
encode_wire_bytes / encode_file_record (Mon/Day swap for EVENT-typed
records applied on the file form only -- mirrors clsProgram.Read at
clsProgram.cs:471, while clsProgram.ToByteArray omits the swap)
* Remark variant (bytes 1-4 = BE u32 RemarkID instead of cond/cond2)
* unknown ProgType / Cmd bytes pass through as raw ints with a
once-per-process warning
* decode_program_table for the full 1500-slot .pca block
* pca_file.parse_pca_file populates PcaAccount.programs (backward-
compatible: defaults to ())
* mock_panel.MockState.programs + _reply_program_data so OmniLink2
UploadProgram (opcode 9) round-trips through the test fixture
Verification (422 passed, 1 skipped — was 400):
* 15 unit tests in test_programs.py: golden bytes for each ProgramType,
Mon/Day swap proven distinct between wire and file layouts, Remark
round-trip, 500 random-input wire+file round-trips, unknown-enum
tolerance
* 4 fixture-gated live-data tests in test_pca_file.py: all 1500 slots
decode cleanly, 330 non-empty (matches Phase 1 recon distribution
209 TIMED / 105 EVENT / 16 YEARLY), 21,000-byte byte-for-byte
round-trip against the live decrypted fixture, YEARLY month/day in
valid calendar ranges
* 3 wire-echo tests in test_e2e_program_echo.py: client drives
UploadProgram (opcode 9) through the mock, server replies with
ProgramData (opcode 10) wrapping [number_hi, number_lo, body];
full Program round-trips field-by-field, empty slots return zero
bodies, EVENT bytes are emitted in wire order (no swap)
What this pass deliberately leaves open (documented in the docs page):
* cond / cond2 internal bit split (selector vs operand)
* multi-record clausal encoding (When/At/Every/And/Or/Then)
* RemarkID -> RemarkText lookup table layout
* DPC capability flag location for non-OPII models
* TIMED time-of-day vs sunrise/sunset-relative offset flag
