The reachability-only clone driver carried its first unit's vendor name,
which read as misleading in the setup UI once other clones (ICS/Xprinter
XP-K200L, verified 2026-07-06: no /prn_stat.htm) used it. It was always
the generic ESC/POS driver — now named so:
- printer-cashino.ts → printer-generic.ts; GenericEscposPrinter;
id "escpos", label "Generic ESC/POS 80mm printer (Cashino,
ICS/Xprinter…)".
- Migration 0023 rewrites stored devices.driver_id rows.
- The registry keeps a PERMANENT cashino→escpos alias so restored
pre-rename backups still resolve instead of "unknown driver".
Prose mentions of the Cashino as physical hardware stay — it's a real,
verified-fit printer; only the driver identity stopped being vendor-named.

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.

The Cashino 80mm printer reported wrong status: it ran on the `rongta`
driver, whose readStatus() scrapes the Rongta board's /prn_stat.htm status
page — which the Cashino does not serve — yielding a bogus degraded/page-
error verdict while the printer was online and printing fine. Root cause:
the Cashino is an ESC/POS PRINT clone with no trustworthy STATUS mechanism.
Fix: extract the shared ESC/POS rendering + transport (renderTicket/
renderReport/renderSubscriptionCard/sendRaw/probe + CP852 map + code128/
qrCode) from printer-rongta into drivers/printer-escpos.ts, and add a
dedicated `cashino` driver that reuses that print path but is deliberately
NOT MonitorableDevice (no readStatus). isMonitorable() is then false, so the
device monitor falls back to healthCheck() — a plain TCP reachability ping:
reachable -> ready, unreachable -> offline, never a guessed paper/cover
state it cannot sense. Rongta driver unchanged (still scrapes its page,
still monitorable). Register + re-export cashinoDriver.
Verified at runtime (cashino registered, isMonitorable=false, no readStatus,
healthCheck->offline on unreachable) and live: /api/devices/status shows both
printers ready (lane via ping, booth via page). The live entry-dispenser at
10.0.10.9 was switched rongta->cashino in the operator DB (backed up).
Also fix the Albanian device-role chip wording, which read wrong as a
"{category} {role}" label: access mixed "i përzier" -> "hyrje/dalje"
(it means a barrier spanning both directions); printer lane "korsia" ->
"në korsi"; booth "kabina" -> "në kabinë". English tidied to match
(mixed->entry/exit, lane->at lane, booth->at booth).

A live QR scan reached the app but rejected: 'reader not on an access-equipped
lane' — the dispatcher requires an access device on the reader's lane. Add a
no-op stub-access driver (access category, no config) whose pulseOpen only logs
and does no device I/O, so the QR->permit->accept flow (incl. the beep) can be
tested without the Dingtian relay connected. Not for production; registered in
the catalog.
The QR reader is a push device and the setup wizard assigns random-UUID ids, so
'id = serial' can't be set via the UI. Add a dedicated gee-qr-reader driver
(reader category) with a single 'serial' config field; the admin assigns it
normally and enters the device's serial (its cjihao).
The QR endpoint now resolves the lane by matching lane_devices.config.serial to
the scan's cjihao (instead of row id == cjihao), so no DB hand-editing. An
unassigned serial resolves to no lane -> status:0, gracefully.
Verified via inject through the real /api/setup/assign: assign {serial:
H05M2AFA} -> .jsp scan with a matching permit QR -> status:1 (accept) + open;
re-scan -> permit exit; unknown card -> status:0; unassigned serial -> status:0.
Add the rongta PrinterDevice driver (ESC/POS over raw TCP 9100) and the
device-agnostic pieces around it:
- Roles + failover: each printer declares a role (entry-dispenser/booth-
receipt) and failoverRank; printer-routing.ts picks the best healthy printer
and falls back outside->booth for entry tickets (never the reverse).
- Live status: MonitorableDevice.readStatus()/PrinterStatus capability. The
Rongta driver scrapes the device's own /prn_stat.htm (Cover/Cutter/Paper
End/Near End/Off-Line) rather than hand-decoding DLE EOT, whose reply bytes
on this clone don't match the canonical ESC/POS bit layout (verified on
hardware) -- avoids a false-healthy. Maps to ready/degraded/offline, fail
safe on an unreachable or unexpected page.
- Server PrinterMonitor polls enabled printers (PRINTER_POLL_MS, default 5s),
caches latest, emits "printer-status" on change. Exposed via
GET /api/printers/status and an SSE stream for the booth UI.
Verified against 10.0.10.6: ready when healthy, offline when unreachable
(no throw), bus emits on change and suppresses unchanged reads.
Wiki: new rongta-printer entity, printer-roles-failover and
printer-status-monitoring concepts; BOM/index/log updated.
Neither UHPPOTE nor ZKTeco is used — the Dingtian relay controller was chosen
and verified. Remove their code and re-scope the wiki.
Code:
- delete access-uhppote.ts, uhppoted.d.ts, access.ts (zkteco/esp32-relay stubs),
and the three uhppote-*.mjs hardware test scripts.
- remove the `uhppoted` npm dependency from @parking/devices and @parking/server.
- unregister uhppote/zkteco/esp32-relay from the driver registry; drop their
exports. Catalog access drivers = dingtian only. Build green (5/5).
- refresh now-stale example comments (registry/interfaces/setup/api) to use
current examples; keep the two "UHPPOTE blocker" references that explain why
the precondition capability exists.
Wiki (kept pages, re-scoped):
- uhppote-controller, zkteco-controller -> rejected/historical with callouts;
uhppote-vs-esp32 -> historical (detection-vs-prevention lens still useful).
- re-point all "current device" framing (standing-decisions, bom, overview,
open-questions, device-registry, device-discovery, index) to dingtian-relay.
- transferable concepts (network-isolation, event-log-ingestion, barrier-not-a-
door, threat-model) untouched. Raw source immutable. Links lint clean.
The Dingtian board's inputs are independent of its relays (configurable), so a
button on an input can report to the host WITHOUT auto-firing a relay — solving
the access-controller-button-flow blocker the UHPPOTE/ZKTeco couldn't.
packages/devices:
- access-dingtian.ts: `dingtian` access driver implementing AccessControlDevice
(relay pulse/latch via UDP string protocol :60001), InputDevice (read inputs +
poll-based press/release events, active-LOW), and the new PreconditionDevice.
- PreconditionDevice capability on the interface: a device can report config it
requires for parking and optionally fix it. Dingtian checks input_link_relay
via the HTTP config API and can disable it.
- httpPort config field — the web/config API port is separate from UDP control
(this unit uses 8080, not the default 80).
- Register dingtian; export driver objects from the package.
Verified on real hardware (DT-R004 @ 10.0.10.172): status read, relay pulse,
input events; disabled input_link_relay via the driver, then confirmed pressing
inputs fires NO relay (0000) — host-in-the-loop entry works.
Config-write gotcha recorded: config_set.cgi requires "command":"setconfig"
injected after "status" (GET omits it) or the POST silently no-ops.
apps/server/scripts/dingtian-test.mjs: status / watch / pulse hardware test.
wiki: dingtian-relay verified; button-flow marked RESOLVED; index + log.
Researched Node options for the UHPPOTE controller and chose the official
`uhppoted` npm package (MIT, actively maintained, single trivial dep). Its API
covers the full design: openDoor, getStatus, the event-log set (getEvent,
getEventIndex, setEventIndex, recordSpecialEvents), and setListener/listen.
Rejected alternatives: raw-dgram DIY, node-red-contrib-uhppoted, Go sidecar.
- packages/devices: add uhppoted@0.9.0; new `uhppote` access driver implementing
AccessControlDevice (pulseOpen -> openDoor intent-only; healthCheck/getDoorStatus
-> getStatus). Registered in the catalog alongside zkteco/esp32-relay.
- Local ambient types (uhppoted ships none); CJS interop via default-import +
destructure under NodeNext.
- Config fields: controller serial (required), optional host/protocol (udp|tcp),
doors, timeout.
Security/safety unchanged: unauthenticated UDP -> isolated VLAN assumed; relay
is intent-only ("a barrier is not a door").
wiki: record the library choice on uhppote-controller + log entry.
Verified: builds; `uhppote` shows in the catalog with correct fields;
instantiates and degrades to "offline" gracefully without hardware (on-VLAN
test pending).
Make the device-adapter pattern selectable so the admin chooses hardware at
install — per lane, from a catalog of supported drivers. Adding a device =
registering one more driver; no business-logic change.
packages/devices:
- interfaces.ts: AccessControlDevice / ReaderDevice / CameraDevice / PrinterDevice
(adds CameraDevice for entry/exit snapshot-on-event; access relay stays
intent-only per "a barrier is not a door").
- registry.ts: driver catalog with per-driver config fields + factory, config
validation, and a catalog payload for the setup UI.
- drivers/: stub adapters — access (zkteco, esp32-relay), reader (wiegand,
tcp-ip), camera (hikvision, dahua). Real vendor protocols TBD.
packages/db:
- lane_devices + setup_state tables (migration 0001); re-export query helpers.
apps/server:
- routes/setup.ts: GET /api/setup/catalog (public schema), and admin-only
/assign, /state, /complete with registry validation before persisting.
- extract auth.ts (requireJwtSecret, requireRole, JWT type aug).
apps/web:
- SetupWizard scaffold + api client: pick a driver per category for a lane,
render its config fields.
wiki: device-registry + first-run-setup concept pages; cross-link from
device-adapter-pattern; index + log updated.
Verified: full turbo build (5/5); catalog lists all drivers; admin assign
persists; missing-config and no-token requests are rejected.
