Records what d4b2ab7 did and what genuinely remains: confirming the left-edge
artefacts by eye (the timing win was measured, the visual result was not),
OTA download logic, optional backlight scheduling, and the thermostat itself.

# TODO
|
|
|
|
## Done
|
|
|
|
The six items from the 2026-08-03 review were completed in `d4b2ab7`
|
|
("Work through the remaining review items in TODO.md"). See that commit
|
|
message for the reasoning behind each. Summary:
|
|
|
|
1. **UI pause window shrunk** — HTTP session kept alive between polls, timeout
|
|
drops 30s→10s once warm. Measured on hardware: fetch went from ~1.3s to
|
|
~80ms, so `lvgl_port_pause()` no longer blocks rendering and touch for a
|
|
meaningful period.
|
|
2. **Stale readings indicated** — temperature dims and the status line shows
|
|
age after two consecutive failures.
|
|
3. **Touch readout gated** behind `UI_DEBUG_TOUCH`, default off.
|
|
4. **`main/utils` deleted** — no callers.
|
|
5. **OTA partitions laid out** — two 4MB slots, `otadata`, ~7.9MB unallocated.
|
|
6. **Cleanups** — truncation logged once per response; weather task stack
|
|
high-water mark measured (~2400 bytes spare of 6144).
|
|
|
|
Verified on hardware after the change: boots from the new OTA layout, three
|
|
consecutive successful polls at 60s, no reboots.
|
|
|
|
## Still open
|
|
|
|
### 1. Confirm the left-edge artefacts are actually gone
|
|
|
|
The pause window is now ~80ms instead of ~1.3s, which should make the
|
|
artefacts much rarer — but **this has not been confirmed by eye**. The
|
|
timing improvement was measured from the log; the artefacts can only be
|
|
verified by watching the panel around the moment the status line updates.
|
|
|
|
If they persist, the remaining lever is pausing only around LVGL's flush (the
|
|
actual PSRAM writes) rather than the whole network transaction. That is more
|
|
invasive; do not start it until the current change has been observed to be
|
|
insufficient.
|
|
|
|
### 2. OTA implementation
|
|
|
|
Partition layout exists; the download/apply logic does not. **This is not a
|
|
drop-in.** An OTA write is a flash write, and the bounce-buffer refill ISR
|
|
reads PSRAM, which shares the cache with flash on the S3 — downloading while
|
|
the panel scans will fault it with "Cache disabled but cached memory region
|
|
accessed". The implementation must stop the panel for the download and write,
|
|
or reboot into a dedicated updater mode. See README "Partitions".
|
|
|
|
### 3. Backlight control (optional feature)
|
|
|
|
`backlight_set()` is only ever called once, with 255. A night-dim schedule or
|
|
touch-to-wake is a natural small feature. Note the STC8H1K28 shares the I2C
|
|
bus with the GT911, so brightness writes must stay in task context (never an
|
|
ISR) and will contend with touch polls on the same bus.
|
|
|
|
### 4. The actual thermostat
|
|
|
|
Setpoint, HVAC relay control, scheduling and persistence are all still
|
|
unimplemented — this remains a weather display. Note a separate project
|
|
(`~/workspace/rotaryThermo`) has a PRD for building this on the CrowPanel 2.1"
|
|
rotary display instead, driven by Zigbee room sensors. Decide which board
|
|
hosts the thermostat before building it twice.
|
|
|
|
## Facts already established — do not re-investigate
|
|
|
|
- Build is clean on ESP-IDF v5.3 (`. ~/esp/esp-idf/export.sh && idf.py build`).
|
|
App is ~1.4MB in a 4MB OTA slot.
|
|
- `main/app_config.h` is gitignored and holds real credentials locally.
|
|
- `resp_buf` bounds/NUL-termination in `ambient_weather.c` is correct.
|
|
- GT911 read-then-clear-status ordering is correct.
|
|
- Backlight duty inversion maps correctly at both endpoints (255→0x00 full,
|
|
0→0xF5 off).
|
|
- The `°` glyph exists in LVGL's built-in Montserrat fonts; the `·` separator
|
|
that does not appears only in log strings, never on screen.
|
|
- LVGL recursive-mutex locking is consistent across all UI entry points.
|
|
- Init order in `main.c` is deliberate and load-bearing: WiFi/NVS before
|
|
`display_init()`, `backlight_init()` before `touch_init()`. Never reorder.
|
|
- The bounce buffer is enabled and load-bearing.
|
|
- Board is N16R8 (16MB flash / 8MB octal PSRAM).
|
|
- `touch_get_indev()`, `display_get_panel()` and `lvgl_port_is_paused()` are
|
|
uncalled but deliberately kept as driver API surface.
