An early wrong assumption named the QR/RFID access reader "GEE" /
"GEE/Fondvision" / "GEE-QR-ER80" (and summarized a raw GEE PDF as its
datasheet). There is no GEE device — it's the Dingtian DT-008
(dingtian-tech.com/en_us/qr_code_reader.html), the same vendor as the relay
board, which is why it integrates the identical HTTP-GET-push way.

Code:
- Driver symbol geeQrReaderDriver → dingtianQrReaderDriver; label →
  "Dingtian DT-008 QR/RFID reader (HTTP push)"; comments/description rewritten
  to the real DT-008 facts (Wiegand 26/34, TCP/IP, USB, RS485 — not RS-232;
  QR/barcode + ID/IC/NFC — not DataMatrix/1D).
- Persisted driverId "gee-qr-reader" → "dingtian-qr-reader" (the registry
  lookup key + the row created on assign in qr-reader.ts).
- Migration 0015 rewrites existing devices.driver_id rows so configured readers
  keep resolving (applied to the dev DB — 2 rows; the booth applies it on boot).
  Behaviour is unchanged: naming + the persisted id only.

Wiki + memory:
- Renamed entities/gee-qr-er80.md → dingtian-dt008-reader.md and
  sources/gee-qr-er80.md → dingtian-dt008.md; rewrote both to the real DT-008
  product-page specs while KEEPING all the verified-on-hardware protocol facts
  (cjihao serial, .jsp path, Connection: close). Fixed every cross-reference +
  "GEE" mention in 6 other pages. Memory gee-reader-serial-binding →
  dingtian-reader-serial-binding. The only surviving "GEE" mentions are
  deliberate naming-correction notes, the raw PDF filename, and the
  append-only log history.

Full workspace build/lint/test green; dev DB readers verified resolving to the
registered dingtian-qr-reader driver.

# Dingtian DT-008 (QR/RFID access reader)
The project's **QR / barcode / RFID reader** — Dingtian **DT-008**, the **same vendor as the
[[dingtian-relay|relay board]]** (which is why it integrates the same HTTP-push way). A static
optical + card scanner for **QR / barcode (simple)** and **ID/IC/NFC cards**. This is the
**[[ticket-encoding|QR ticket]]** scanner (read at the pay station / exit lane) and a path for **QR
or RFID [[subscription]]** credentials. Product page: dingtian-tech.com/en_us/qr_code_reader.html.
(See [[dingtian-dt008|spec summary]] / `raw/`.)
> **Naming correction (2026-06-28).** Through most of this project this reader was wrongly called
> **"GEE" / "GEE/Fondvision" / "GEE-QR-ER80"** — a bad early assumption. There is no GEE device; it
> is the **Dingtian DT-008**. The driver id was renamed `gee-qr-reader` → `dingtian-qr-reader`
> (migration 0015 rewrites existing rows). All *protocol/behaviour* facts below were observed on the
> real hardware and remain correct — only the device identity was wrong.
## What it is
- **QR/barcode + card.** Reads **QR / simple barcode** AND **ID/IC/NFC cards** (~0.2 s, 0–10 cm).
(An earlier note guessed "ER80-EM = 125 kHz EM4100 prox" — that was part of the same mis-id.)
- **Interfaces: Wiegand 26/34, TCP/IP, USB, RS485.** (NOT RS-232 — that was a fictional-datasheet
claim.) For our integration it talks **HTTP over TCP/IP**; Wiegand is the reader's *output line*
on a valid read, not the host transport.
- **Power** 9–16 V DC, 800 mA; **86×86×42 mm**; −30…70 °C. Fits the [[disk-os-hardening|appliance]].
## How it integrates — HTTP-GET push, server replies the verdict (confirmed via SDK)
The protocol is settled by the **[[qrcode-sdk|QRCode SDK v1.6.5]]** (not serial as first guessed).
The reader is configured (Windows tool `QRCode_v1_6_5.exe`) with a **server IP/port** and a "server
language" (only picks the URL path, e.g. `/qa/mcardsea.php`). **On each scan it HTTP-GETs the host:**
```
GET /qa/mcardsea.php?cardid=<QR>&mjihao=<devId>&cjihao=<devSN>&status=<2 chars>&time=<utc>
```
`cardid` = scanned data; `status` low digit = **direction (1=in / 0=out)**. The host replies JSON
`{data:[{cardid,cjihao,mjihao,status,time,output}],code:0}` where reply **`status` 1=valid (beep
2×) / 0=invalid (beep 1×)**, **`output` 0=Access/1=WG26/2=WG34**, `time` syncs the clock.
This is **host-in-the-loop and SYNCHRONOUS**: the GET *is* the access query and **our reply is the
decision** — it drives the reader's beep + output. So unlike a fire-and-forget reader, the endpoint
must decide (valid/invalid, direction from `status`) and reply, then also emit a `DeviceReadEvent`
on the `read` bus for the entry/exit/permit flows ([[parking-session]], [[subscription]]) to open the
barrier. ([[device-input-flow]] is the analogous push pattern; this one also returns a verdict.)
> **This explains the "no beep":** feedback comes from the server's JSON reply, not locally. A
> non-JSON / missing reply ⇒ no beep even though the scan worked. So "no beep" ≠ "didn't scan."
- Pushes over plain **HTTP** to our `10.0.10.x` host (on the device subnet); no serial wiring, no
Wiegand-decode hardware. Suits the host-in-the-loop model; autonomy is moot anyway
([[dingtian-relay]] has no onboard ACL).
- Default IP `192.168.1.99` (set its server IP/port to this host in the vendor tool).
## Resolved (2026-06-16)
- Protocol = HTTP GET poll + JSON verdict (above). The earlier "serial/Wiegand, find the baud"
open questions are **moot** — it's HTTP. Wiegand is the reader's *output line* on a valid read
(the reply `output` field), not the host transport.
## As-built (2026-06-16)
- **Endpoint** `GET/POST /qa/mcardsea.php` (`apps/server/src/routes/qr-reader.ts`, public — the
reader has no auth, sits on the device subnet). Parses `cardid/mjihao/cjihao/status/time`, runs
the scan through the **read dispatcher** (permit match → permit flow; else transient exit), and
replies the **SDK verdict**: `status` 1=valid(beep 2×)/0=invalid(beep 1×), `output` 0, `time`.
- The read flows were refactored to **return a `ReadOutcome` { accepted, direction, reason }** so the
endpoint's reply reflects the real accept/reject (the dispatcher decides AND opens the barrier via
the flows). A fire-and-forget reader ignores the outcome.
- **Reader identity:** the endpoint matches the device **serial (`cjihao`)** against each reader's
`config.serial` to find its `devices` row; the dispatcher then resolves the relay that row is
**bound** to (`config.controllerId` + `relay`) and opens it. See [[entry-exit-points]].
- Verified via inject: valid permit QR → `status:1` + open; re-scan → permit exit (still valid);
unknown QR → `status:0`; reader on a barrier-less lane → `status:0`.
## Verified on hardware (2026-06-16)
Captured a real scan (vendor-emulator logger on :3000). The reader **does scan, send, and beep** —
the earlier "no beep" was simply that no server was answering on :3000 with valid JSON. Real GET:
```
GET /qa/mcardsea.jsp?cardid=52020056&mjihao=1&cjihao=H05M2AFA&status=11&time=1781634494
from 10.0.10.7 (referer: http://www.fondvision.com — the OEM is Fondvision)
```
- **PATH carries the configured "server language" EXTENSION:** this unit is set to **JSP**, so it
GETs **`/qa/mcardsea.jsp`** — NOT `.php`. Our endpoint was registered at `.php` only → it would
have 404'd the real reader. **Fixed:** the route now registers `php/jsp/asp/aspx/cgi`.
- **`cjihao` = `H05M2AFA`** is the device **serial** — the value our endpoint matches against the
reader's `config.serial`. So assign the reader with **`config.serial = "H05M2AFA"`** and bind it
to a controller relay.
- **`mjihao` = 1** (device id). `cardid` = the scanned barcode (`52020056`). `status=11`.
- The reader **beeped on the vendor reply with `status:0`** — so it acts on the reply; `0` =
invalid/1-beep as documented. A matching permit/session will return `status:1` → 2-beep accept.
## Assignment (as-built 2026-06-16)
A dedicated **`dingtian-qr-reader`** driver ([[device-registry]], reader category) models the push reader:
its one config field is **`serial`** (the `cjihao` the device reports). The admin assigns it in the
[[first-run-setup|setup wizard]] like any device (normal UUID row id), enters the serial, and binds
it to a controller relay. The QR endpoint resolves the reader by **matching `config.serial` to the
scan's `cjihao`** — not by row id — so no DB hand-editing. Set the reader's server IP/port to this
host in the **vendor tool**; assign + enter its serial + bind it here.
- Verified via inject: assign `dingtian-qr-reader` {serial:"H05M2AFA"} bound to an access relay →
a `.jsp` scan with that serial + a matching permit QR → `status:1` (2-beep accept) + open; re-scan
→ permit exit; unknown card → `status:0`; unassigned serial → `status:0` (no relay, graceful).
- Note `tcpip-reader` is the WRONG model for this device (host-connects-out, a stub) — use
`dingtian-qr-reader`.
## Open / next
- Re-test on hardware against the real app (now `.jsp`-aware + serial-resolved): scan → expect a
`status:1` 2-beep when the QR matches a permit/open session.
- `output` is replied as `0` (Access). Confirm on hardware whether the reader needs `1`/`2` (WG26/34)
to drive its access line, vs. `0`.
## ⚠️ Reply MUST set `Connection: close` (verified on hardware)
The reader sends `Connection: keep-alive` but **only acts on the verdict (beep/output) once the TCP
socket CLOSES**. Fastify's default keeps the connection alive → the reader waits out a **~10 s
keep-alive timeout before beeping**, even though the server replied in ~15 ms. Every vendor demo
replies **`Connection: close`** and shuts the socket. Fix: the endpoint sets
`reply.header("connection","close")`. Symptom if regressed: correct accept/reject but a ~10 s lag
before the beep. (The request arrives fast; the delay is entirely the reader waiting for close.)
