Calendar rule/grid lines were light gray, which dithers away to
near-invisible on the 6-color e-ink palette -- now black.
CalDAV accounts (Nextcloud, Fastmail, iCloud, ...) can now be linked
alongside the existing single ICS subscription, since one account can
expose several calendars. A frame's Calendar tab now lists calendars
per person rather than one opt-in per person: your own row shows every
calendar you have available with a full add/remove toggle, while other
linked users' rows show only calendars they've included, toggleable
off (mute) but not on -- only a calendar's owner can add it to a
shared frame. FrameCalendar replaces the old single-boolean
UserFrame.calendar_included; existing opt-ins are migrated forward.
calendar_feed.py/calendar_render.py: fetch/merge per-user ICS feeds,
render agenda/week/month views. manage_overlay.py: composites the
manage-button overlay server-side (QR, battery, location/date,
share-QR, face labels), reused by every render mode. device.py/common.py
wire both together: mode dispatch for /frame/image+advance+back, and
the &manage=1 flag. Plus UI (frame_config.html Calendar card, settings
calendar URL field) and the icalendar/recurring-ical-events deps.
The frame-claiming pipeline, end to end. Firmware: every request now
carries ?id=<12-hex STA MAC> via build_url (mirrored in build_ota_url),
and the captive portal's success page became a redirect that hands the
user's browser to <server>/claim?device_id=... after ~7s -- enough time
for the phone to drop the provisioning AP while the device reboots.
The server pushes a per-frame device token through /frame/config during
a one-time handshake; the firmware persists it to NVS (a dedicated
single-key write that deliberately doesn't reset the connected-once
flag or WiFi cache) and prefers it over the provisioned shared token
from the next request on. Config response buffer grows 256->512. Both
board variants compile clean; new firmware also works against an old
server (which ignores ?id=) and old firmware against this server (the
phase A legacy mapping), so either deploy order survives.
Server: /claim lands the captive-portal redirect -- claim-gated signup
(a valid unclaimed/unregistered device id IS the enrollment invitation),
pending claims for the user-beats-the-frame race (auto-attached at
self-registration, 24h expiry), and a waiting page that refreshes until
the frame checks in. Unclaimed/unconfigured frames get a rendered
instruction placeholder with a QR from /frame/image (200, never an
error loop) -- new qrcode dep, placeholder shares the exact
quantize/pack path photos use.
The on-frame manage QR now resolves to a limited no-login page: scans
of / carrying device credentials (new ?id&token or the legacy shared
token) 303 to /m/<manage_token>, which allows exactly view queue,
show-next, advance, back, and scoped thumbnails -- no settings, no
removal, no other frames. Full control means logging in.
One real protocol hole found by simulating full wake cycles: after
self-registration the device could never authenticate again (the wake
cycle fetches the image BEFORE /frame/config delivers its token).
require_device now treats the id itself as the credential until the
first authenticated request flips device_token_ack -- the same trust
level as open registration, closing permanently once the handshake
completes.
Replaces the single global config.json (whole-file pydantic model under
one RLock) with SQLite via SQLAlchemy 2.0: users/sessions/frames/links/
pending-claims/battery_log tables (models.py), a per-frame lock registry
(db.frame_locked) succeeding config.locked(), and hand-rolled schema
versioning (migration.py). A pre-database deployment's config.json is
imported verbatim as frame #1 on first boot and left untouched as the
rollback path; the old single firmware.bin slot becomes per-frame
firmware/<id>.bin.
Routes split out of the 900-line main.py into routers/device.py (the
frozen /frame/* protocol) and routers/api.py (web UI, still on the old
single-frame paths for now). Device auth moves to require_device, which
already speaks the full multi-frame protocol: per-frame device tokens
pushed via /frame/config and acknowledged on first use, self-
registration of unknown device ids as unclaimed frames, pending-claim
attachment, and the legacy-token migration window that keeps the
currently-deployed firmware (no id, shared MANAGEMENT_TOKEN) resolving
to frame #1 -- including the one-time binding of its device id when it
first reports one after a future OTA.
Externally identical for existing deployments: same paths, same token
semantics, same response shapes -- verified with a migration fixture,
the legacy-device curl suite, a 20-way concurrent-advance smoke test,
and a mutate-restart-assert persistence check against a fake Immich.
photo_queue.py ports nearly verbatim onto the Frame ORM row (MutableList
JSON columns make its in-place list mutations dirty-track); quiet-hours
math extracted unchanged into quiet_hours.py.
- pillow==11.1.0 has no prebuilt wheel for Python 3.14, so pip fell back
to building from source and failed without libjpeg dev headers
installed. Bumped to 12.3.0 (has wheels); re-ran the local test suite
against it with no other changes needed.
- The local-dev uvicorn command in the README was missing --host 0.0.0.0,
so it defaulted to 127.0.0.1 -- unreachable from the ESP32 on the LAN.
The Docker image already binds 0.0.0.0 correctly; only the doc'd local
command was wrong.
Implements the server side of the architecture decided on: the ESP32-C6
has no PSRAM and a tight RAM budget, so all the heavy lifting (JPEG
decode, resize, Floyd-Steinberg dithering, 6-color quantization, 4bpp
packing) happens here instead of on-device. The frame just does a single
GET and streams the response straight to SPI.
- GET /frame/image: looks up the current cursor's asset in the configured
Immich album, downloads its preview thumbnail, and returns it packed
into the panel's exact 800x480/4bpp/2px-per-byte format
(application/octet-stream, always exactly 192,000 bytes).
- GET / + POST /api/config + GET /api/albums: a small web UI for entering
the Immich URL/API key and picking an album, rather than cramming that
into the ESP32's captive portal form.
- Config (Immich creds, selected album, cursor) persists to a JSON file
via a docker-compose volume mount.
Verified locally with a venv (Docker isn't available in this environment):
unit-tested image_pipeline against a synthetic image (exact byte count,
valid panel color codes only), and ran a full end-to-end pass against a
mock Immich HTTP server exercising the real /frame/image path.
Pinned dependency versions in requirements.txt after hitting a real bug
with unpinned floors: the latest starlette (1.3.1) resolved by `pip
install fastapi` breaks Jinja2Templates outright.
Not yet wired to the ESP32 side (task 6) or authenticated -- /frame/image
is unauthenticated for now, fine on a trusted LAN but worth revisiting
once the firmware sends a shared device token.
