# DD3-LoRa-Bridge-MultiSender
Unified firmware for LilyGO T3 v1.6.1 (ESP32 + SX1276 + SSD1306) running as either:
- `Sender`: reads meter values and sends binary batches over LoRa.
- `Receiver`: accepts batches, ACKs with optional time, publishes to MQTT/web.
Firmware for LilyGO T3 v1.6.1 (`ESP32 + SX1276 + SSD1306`) that runs as either:
- `Sender` (PIN `GPIO14` HIGH): reads one IEC 62056-21 meter, batches samples, sends over LoRa.
- `Receiver` (PIN `GPIO14` LOW): receives/ACKs batches, publishes MQTT, serves web UI, logs to SD.
## Protocol (minimal)
## Current Architecture
Frame format:
- Single codebase, role selected at boot via `detect_role()` (`include/config.h`, `src/config.cpp`).
- LoRa link uses explicit CRC16 frame protection in firmware (`src/lora_transport.cpp`).
- Sender batches up to `30` samples and retries on missing ACK (`BATCH_MAX_RETRIES=2`, retry policy `Keep`).
- Receiver uses STA mode when config is valid, otherwise AP fallback with web config.
`[msg_kind:1][dev_id_short:2][payload...][crc16:2]`
## LoRa Frame Protocol (Current)
On-air frame format:
`[msg_kind:1][device_short_id:2][payload...][crc16:2]`
`msg_kind`:
- `0`: `BATCH_UP` (Sender -> Receiver)
- `1`: `ACK_DOWN` (Receiver -> Sender)
- `0` = `BatchUp`
- `1` = `AckDown`
Removed from protocol:
- protocol version field
- payload type field
- MeterData JSON/compressed LoRa path
- standalone TimeSync packets
### `BatchUp`
CRC16 validation is still required on every frame.
Transport is chunked (`batch_id`, `chunk_index`, `chunk_count`, `total_len`) and reassembled before payload decode.
## Payloads
Payload codec (`src/payload_codec.cpp`) currently uses:
- `kMagic=0xDDB3`
- `kSchema=2`
- metadata: sender, batch, timestamp, interval, battery, fault counters
- data arrays: `energy_wh[]`, `p1_w[]`, `p2_w[]`, `p3_w[]`
### 1) `BATCH_UP`
- Uses existing binary batch/chunk transport.
- `sample_count == 0` is valid and means `SYNC_REQUEST`.
`n == 0` is valid and used for sync request packets.
### 2) `ACK_DOWN` (7 bytes)
- `flags` (`u8`): bit0 = `time_valid`
- `batch_id` (`u16`, big-endian)
- `epoch_utc` (`u32`, big-endian)
### `AckDown` (7 bytes)
Receiver sets:
- `time_valid=1` only when receiver time is authoritative and sane.
- Otherwise `time_valid=0` and `epoch_utc=0`.
`[flags:1][batch_id_be:2][epoch_utc_be:4]`
## Time bootstrap safety
- `flags bit0`: `time_valid`
- Receiver repeats ACK (`ACK_REPEAT_COUNT=3`, `ACK_REPEAT_DELAY_MS=200`).
- Sender accepts time only if `time_valid=1` and `epoch >= MIN_ACCEPTED_EPOCH_UTC` (`2026-02-01 00:00:00 UTC`).
Sender starts with:
## Time Bootstrap Guardrail
On sender boot:
- `g_time_acquired=false`
- no real sampling/batching
- periodic `SYNC_REQUEST` every `SYNC_REQUEST_INTERVAL_MS` (default `15000ms`)
- no normal sampling/transmit yet
- sync request every `SYNC_REQUEST_INTERVAL_MS` (15s)
Sender only accepts time from `ACK_DOWN` if:
- `time_valid == 1`
- `epoch_utc >= 2026-02-01 00:00:00 UTC` (`MIN_ACCEPTED_EPOCH_UTC = 1769904000`)
Only then:
Only after valid ACK time is received:
- system time is set
- `g_time_acquired=true`
- normal 1 Hz sampling + batch transmit starts
- normal 1 Hz sampling and periodic LoRa batch transmit start
This guarantees no pre-`2026-02-01` epoch reaches MQTT or SD/DB paths.
This blocks pre-threshold timestamps from MQTT/SD paths.
## Receiver behavior
## Sender Meter Path
On `BATCH_UP`:
1. Decode batch/chunks.
2. Send `ACK_DOWN` immediately.
3. If `sample_count == 0`: treat as `SYNC_REQUEST`, do not publish MQTT/update stats.
4. Else decode and publish samples as normal.
Implemented in `src/meter_driver.cpp` + sender loop in `src/main.cpp`:
## Sender/Receiver debug logs (`SERIAL_DEBUG_MODE`)
- UART: `Serial2`, RX pin `GPIO34` (`PIN_METER_RX`), `9600 7E1`
- Frame detection: starts at `'/'`, ends at `'!'`, timeout protection included
- Parsed OBIS values:
- `1-0:1.8.0` (total energy)
- `1-0:16.7.0` (total power)
- `1-0:36.7.0`, `56.7.0`, `76.7.0` (phase powers)
- `1-0:1.8.0*Wh` is automatically scaled to kWh
Sender:
- `sync: request tx batch_id=%u`
- `ack: rx ok batch_id=%u time_valid=%u epoch=%lu set=%u`
- `ack: timeout batch_id=%u retry=%u`
Sender samples every second and transmits batches every 30 seconds.
Receiver:
- `ack: tx batch_id=%u time_valid=%u epoch=%lu samples=%u`
## Receiver Behavior
## Removed hardware dependency
For valid `BatchUp` decode:
1. Reassemble chunks and decode payload.
2. Send `AckDown` immediately.
3. Drop duplicate batches per sender (`batch_id` tracking).
4. If `n==0`: treat as sync request only.
5. Else convert samples, log to SD, update web UI, publish MQTT.
DS3231 RTC support was removed:
- no RTC files
- no RTC init/load/set logic
- no `ENABLE_DS3231` flow
## MQTT Topics and Payloads
## Build
State topic:
- `smartmeter/<device_id>/state`
Fault topic (retained):
- `smartmeter/<device_id>/faults`
State JSON fields (`src/json_codec.cpp`):
- `id`, `ts`, `e_kwh`
- `p_w`, `p1_w`, `p2_w`, `p3_w`
- `bat_v`, `bat_pct`
- optional link fields: `rssi`, `snr`
- fault/reject fields: `err_last`, `rx_reject`, `rx_reject_text` (+ non-zero counters)
Home Assistant discovery is enabled (`ENABLE_HA_DISCOVERY=true`) and publishes config topics under:
- `homeassistant/sensor/<device_id>/<key>/config`
## Web UI, Wi-Fi, Storage
- Wi-Fi/MQTT/NTP/web-auth config persists in Preferences (`wifi_manager`).
- AP fallback SSID prefix: `DD3-Bridge-`.
- Default web credentials: `admin/admin`.
- SD logging enabled (`ENABLE_SD_LOGGING=true`).
## Build Environments
From `platformio.ini`:
- `lilygo-t3-v1-6-1`
- `lilygo-t3-v1-6-1-test`
- `lilygo-t3-v1-6-1-868`
- `lilygo-t3-v1-6-1-868-test`
- `lilygo-t3-v1-6-1-payload-test`
- `lilygo-t3-v1-6-1-868-payload-test`
- `lilygo-t3-v1-6-1-prod`
- `lilygo-t3-v1-6-1-868-prod`
Example:
```bash
pio run -e lilygo-t3-v1-6-1
pio run -e lilygo-t3-v1-6-1-test
~/.platformio/penv/bin/pio run -e lilygo-t3-v1-6-1
```
## Test Mode
`ENABLE_TEST_MODE` replaces normal sender/receiver loops with dedicated test loops (`src/test_mode.cpp`).
It sends/receives JSON test frames and publishes to `smartmeter/<device_id>/test`.
