**Version 1.0.2 Beta** · [Changelog](CHANGELOG.md) · MIT licensed
|
|
26
|
+
|
|
27
|
+
An [MCP](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) server that lets an AI agent read
|
|
28
|
+
and control a [Larnitech](https://larnitech.com) smart-home installation over
|
|
29
|
+
the API2 protocol — lights, climate, blinds, sensors, meters.
|
|
30
|
+
|
|
31
|
+
It ships with a documented device-type reference built from live testing
|
|
32
|
+
against real controllers, so the agent looks up how a widget actually
|
|
33
|
+
behaves instead of guessing from key names. That matters more than it
|
|
34
|
+
sounds: on this platform writing `state: "closed"` to a gate is
|
|
35
|
+
acknowledged with `success: true` and then silently ignored, and several
|
|
36
|
+
climate types drop half of any two-key write. Those traps are documented,
|
|
37
|
+
checked before every write, and listed in this README's own safety section.

|

|
|
41
|
+
## What it does
|
|
42
|
+
|
|
43
|
+
**Reading** — open, no configuration beyond the API key.
|
|
44
|
+
|
|
45
|
+
| Tool | What it does |
|
|
46
|
+
|---|---|
|
|
47
|
+
| `list_objects` | configured controllers (never returns keys) |
|
|
48
|
+
| `check_connection` | connect, authorize, report device count |
|
|
49
|
+
| `list_devices` | full snapshot, filterable by area / type / name |
|
|
50
|
+
| `get_device` | status of one device by address |
|
|
51
|
+
|
|
52
|
+
**Understanding what came back** — statuses are type-specific and
|
|
53
|
+
occasionally not key/value at all.
|
|
54
|
+
|
|
55
|
+
| Tool | What it does |
|
|
56
|
+
|---|---|
|
|
57
|
+
| `get_docs()` | overview of every documented device type |
|
|
58
|
+
| `get_docs("AC")` | full detail for one type: status keys, enums, XML attributes, script byte layout, quirks |
|
|
59
|
+
| `get_docs("bugs")` | numbered registry of confirmed vendor bugs |
|
|
60
|
+
| `get_docs("protocol")` | API2 protocol reference |
|
|
61
|
+
|
|
62
|
+
Responses flag statuses that need care: an opaque `hex` blob, a
|
|
63
|
+
`malfunction` fault code in place of a normal reading, or an all-`null`
|
|
64
|
+
payload from a meter that missed its poll cycle — which means *no data*,
|
|
65
|
+
not zeros.
|
|
66
|
+
|
|
67
|
+
**Watching** — non-blocking, for "press the switch and tell me what moved".
|
|
68
|
+
|
|
69
|
+
| Tool | What it does |
|
|
70
|
+
|---|---|
|
|
71
|
+
| `watch_start` | begin watching; returns immediately |
|
|
72
|
+
| `watch_read` | drain what changed since the last read, per key `from`/`to` |
|
|
73
|
+
| `watch_stop` / `watch_list` | stop one / list active |
|
|
74
|
+
|
|
75
|
+
A watch keeps its own connection alive, so it survives the controller's
|
|
76
|
+
5-minute idle timeout and can stay open across a long conversation.
|
|
77
|
+
|
|
78
|
+
**Writing** — off by default, two-phase, and never a single tool call.
|
|
79
|
+
|
|
80
|
+
| Tool | What it does |
|
|
81
|
+
|---|---|
|
|
82
|
+
| `set_device` | validate, preview the change, return a token — **does not write** |
|
|
83
|
+
| `confirm_set` | execute, then wait for the device to settle and report what actually landed |
|
|
84
|
+
|
|
85
|
+
**Learning** — findings survive the session.
|
|
86
|
+
|
|
87
|
+
| Tool | Writes to |
|
|
88
|
+
|---|---|
|
|
89
|
+
| `add_docs_note` | that device type's own doc file |
|
|
90
|
+
| `add_preference` | `preferences.md`, served with every `get_docs` |
|
|
91
|
+
|
|
92
|
+
**Reporting** — `report_bug` turns something you hit into a ready-to-file
|
|
93
|
+
issue for this repository. It composes the report, strips identifiers
|
|
94
|
+
(API keys, serials, hostnames, site names) and returns a prefilled link.
|
|
95
|
+
Nothing is posted: you open the link, read exactly what would be
|
|
96
|
+
published, and submit it yourself under your own account. No token is
|
|
97
|
+
needed by anyone.

## Requirements
|
|
102
|
+
|
|
103
|
+
- Python 3.11+
|
|
104
|
+
- A Larnitech controller you administer, reachable via the Larnitech cloud
|
|
105
|
+
or on your LAN
|
|
106
|
+
|
|
107
|
+
## Install
|
|
108
|
+
|
|
109
|
+
```bash
|
|
110
|
+
pip install larnitech-mcp
|
|
111
|
+
```
|
|
112
|
+
|
|
113
|
+
A virtual environment is worth using, since you'll point Claude Code at
|
|
114
|
+
that interpreter's absolute path:
|
|
115
|
+
|
|
116
|
+
```bash
|
|
117
|
+
python -m venv ~/.venvs/larnitech
|
|
118
|
+
~/.venvs/larnitech/bin/pip install larnitech-mcp # Windows: Scripts\pip.exe
|
|
119
|
+
```
|
|
120
|
+
|
|
121
|
+
Your API keys, preferences, and any device notes the agent records live in
|
|
122
|
+
`~/.larnitech-mcp/`, outside the package, so upgrading never touches them.
|
|
123
|
+
|
|
124
|
+
To work on the server itself, install from a clone instead:
|
|
125
|
+
|
|
126
|
+
```bash
|
|
127
|
+
git clone https://github.com/mpopovych-thinkhome/larnitech-mcp.git
|
|
128
|
+
cd larnitech-mcp
|
|
129
|
+
pip install -e .
|
|
130
|
+
```
|
|
131
|
+
|
|
132
|
+
## Where to get your API key
|
|
133
|
+
|
|
134
|
+
Both values come from **LT_Setup**, Larnitech's own configuration app, on
|
|
135
|
+
the installation you administer:
|
|
136
|
+
|
|
137
|
+
| What | Where in LT_Setup |
|
|
138
|
+
|---|---|
|
|
139
|
+
| API key | **Security → Show API key** |
|
|
140
|
+
| Serial number (cloud connection) | **General** |
|
|
141
|
+
| IP address (LAN connection) | **General**, or your router's DHCP table |
|
|
142
|
+
| WebSocket port (LAN, default `2041`) | **General → API → Websocket port** |
|
|
143
|
+
|
|
144
|
+
The key grants full read and write access to the installation. Treat it
|
|
145
|
+
like a password.
|
|
146
|
+
|
|
147
|
+
## Connect a controller
|
|
148
|
+
|
|
149
|
+
Register it, then store the key:
|
|
150
|
+
|
|
151
|
+
```bash
|
|
152
|
+
python -m larnitech_mcp add "Home" cloud --serial YOUR_SERIAL
|
|
153
|
+
python -m larnitech_mcp auth "Home"
|
|
154
|
+
```
|
|
155
|
+
|
|
156
|
+
`auth` prompts with hidden input and writes the key to
|
|
157
|
+
`~/.larnitech-mcp/project_keys.json`. The key never passes through the chat
|
|
158
|
+
transcript this way — prefer it over the `object_set_key` tool, which works
|
|
159
|
+
but leaves the key in the session log.
|
|
160
|
+
|
|
161
|
+
For a controller on your LAN instead of via the cloud:
|
|
162
|
+
|
|
163
|
+
```bash
|
|
164
|
+
python -m larnitech_mcp add "Home" local --host 192.168.1.50
|
|
165
|
+
```
|
|
166
|
+
|
|
167
|
+
Check it works:
|
|
168
|
+
|
|
169
|
+
```bash
|
|
170
|
+
python -m larnitech_mcp test "Home" # connect, authorize, count devices
|
|
171
|
+
python -m larnitech_mcp devices "Home" # full snapshot, counts per type
|
|
172
|
+
```
|
|
173
|
+
|
|
174
|
+
## Add to Claude Code
|
|
175
|
+
|
|
176
|
+
Add the server to the top-level `mcpServers` object in `~/.claude.json`,
|
|
177
|
+
using the absolute path to the venv's Python:
|
|
178
|
+
|
|
179
|
+
```json
|
|
180
|
+
{
|
|
181
|
+
"mcpServers": {
|
|
182
|
+
"larnitech": {
|
|
183
|
+
"command": "/home/you/.venvs/larnitech/bin/python",
|
|
184
|
+
"args": ["-m", "larnitech_mcp", "serve"]
|
|
185
|
+
}
|
|
186
|
+
}
|
|
187
|
+
}
|
|
188
|
+
```
|
|
189
|
+
|
|
190
|
+
On Windows the command is the `.exe`, with escaped backslashes:
|
|
191
|
+
|
|
192
|
+
```json
|
|
193
|
+
"command": "C:\\Users\\you\\.venvs\\larnitech\\Scripts\\python.exe"
|
|
194
|
+
```
|
|
195
|
+
|
|
196
|
+
It must be the top-level `mcpServers` key in `~/.claude.json` itself — a
|
|
197
|
+
`.mcp.json` placed inside the `~/.claude/` folder is never read. To scope
|
|
198
|
+
it to one project instead, put the same block in a `.mcp.json` at that
|
|
199
|
+
project's root. Restart Claude Code fully afterwards; closing the window
|
|
200
|
+
is not enough.
|
|
201
|
+
|
|
202
|
+
Other MCP clients work the same way — the server runs on stdio via
|
|
203
|
+
`python -m larnitech_mcp serve`.

## Safety model
|
|
208
|
+
|
|
209
|
+
**Reading is open. Writing is off until you turn it on, per controller,
|
|
210
|
+
from a terminal:**
|
|
211
|
+
|
|
212
|
+
```bash
|
|
213
|
+
python -m larnitech_mcp allow-write "Home" on
|
|
214
|
+
```
|
|
215
|
+
|
|
216
|
+
There is deliberately no tool for this — an agent cannot grant itself
|
|
217
|
+
write access, only tell you the command.
|
|
218
|
+
|
|
219
|
+
**Every write is two calls.** `set_device` validates the payload, reads
|
|
220
|
+
current state, and returns a preview plus a single-use token; it never
|
|
221
|
+
touches the controller. `confirm_set(token)` performs the write, waits for
|
|
222
|
+
the device to go quiet, then reports what actually landed, including
|
|
223
|
+
`unrequested_changes` — anything the controller altered on its own.
|
|
224
|
+
|
|
225
|
+
**Writes can be sequences,** because some types cannot be driven with one
|
|
226
|
+
frame:
|
|
227
|
+
|
|
228
|
+
```json
|
|
229
|
+
[{"status": {"mode": "heat"}, "delay_after": 1.0},
|
|
230
|
+
{"status": {"state": "on"}}]
|
|
231
|
+
```
|
|
232
|
+
|
|
233
|
+
Sending `mode` and `state` together loses the `state`: the controller
|
|
234
|
+
re-evaluates the channel after a mode change and overrides whatever
|
|
235
|
+
arrived behind it. The same applies to `vent` (`state` + `fan`) and to
|
|
236
|
+
clearing an `automation` before switching a channel off. `set_device`
|
|
237
|
+
rejects the combined forms and tells you the sequence to use instead.
|
|
238
|
+
|
|
239
|
+
**No key is ever returned by a tool,** and keys are masked out of error
|
|
240
|
+
messages.
|
|
241
|
+
|
|
242
|
+
## Device documentation
|
|
243
|
+
|
|
244
|
+
`larnitech_mcp/docs/device-types/` holds one file per device type plus an
|
|
245
|
+
index, covering the API2 status keys, XML attributes, script-side byte
|
|
246
|
+
layout, and every quirk confirmed by live testing. `bugs.md` alongside it is
|
|
247
|
+
a numbered registry of confirmed vendor bugs that the type files reference.
|
|
248
|
+
Read them through `get_docs` rather than by path — that also picks up
|
|
249
|
+
anything you've added locally.
|
|
250
|
+
|
|
251
|
+
Notes the agent records with `add_docs_note` go to `~/.larnitech-mcp/docs/`,
|
|
252
|
+
not into the installed package, so they survive upgrades. Your copy wins on
|
|
253
|
+
read; everything you haven't edited still comes from the shipped set.
|
|
254
|
+
|
|
255
|
+
This is a working knowledge base, not a spec: entries say plainly when
|
|
256
|
+
something is confirmed live, observed but unexplained, or still unknown.
|
|
257
|
+
Corrections and additions are welcome — that is the most valuable kind of
|
|
258
|
+
contribution here.

## Status
|
|
275
|
+
|
|
276
|
+
Beta. Reading, watching, and writing all work and have been exercised
|
|
277
|
+
against live hardware, but this has been tested against a limited set of
|
|
278
|
+
installations. Device types documented as unconfirmed genuinely are —
|
|
279
|
+
see `get_docs` output and the per-type files.

**Version 1.0.2 Beta** · [Changelog](CHANGELOG.md) · MIT licensed
|
|
6
|
+
|
|
7
|
+
An [MCP](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) server that lets an AI agent read
|
|
8
|
+
and control a [Larnitech](https://larnitech.com) smart-home installation over
|
|
9
|
+
the API2 protocol — lights, climate, blinds, sensors, meters.
|
|
10
|
+
|
|
11
|
+
It ships with a documented device-type reference built from live testing
|
|
12
|
+
against real controllers, so the agent looks up how a widget actually
|
|
13
|
+
behaves instead of guessing from key names. That matters more than it
|
|
14
|
+
sounds: on this platform writing `state: "closed"` to a gate is
|
|
15
|
+
acknowledged with `success: true` and then silently ignored, and several
|
|
16
|
+
climate types drop half of any two-key write. Those traps are documented,
|
|
17
|
+
checked before every write, and listed in this README's own safety section.

## What it does
|
|
22
|
+
|
|
23
|
+
**Reading** — open, no configuration beyond the API key.
|
|
24
|
+
|
|
25
|
+
| Tool | What it does |
|
|
26
|
+
|---|---|
|
|
27
|
+
| `list_objects` | configured controllers (never returns keys) |
|
|
28
|
+
| `check_connection` | connect, authorize, report device count |
|
|
29
|
+
| `list_devices` | full snapshot, filterable by area / type / name |
|
|
30
|
+
| `get_device` | status of one device by address |
|
|
31
|
+
|
|
32
|
+
**Understanding what came back** — statuses are type-specific and
|
|
33
|
+
occasionally not key/value at all.
|
|
34
|
+
|
|
35
|
+
| Tool | What it does |
|
|
36
|
+
|---|---|
|
|
37
|
+
| `get_docs()` | overview of every documented device type |
|
|
38
|
+
| `get_docs("AC")` | full detail for one type: status keys, enums, XML attributes, script byte layout, quirks |
|
|
39
|
+
| `get_docs("bugs")` | numbered registry of confirmed vendor bugs |
|
|
40
|
+
| `get_docs("protocol")` | API2 protocol reference |
|
|
41
|
+
|
|
42
|
+
Responses flag statuses that need care: an opaque `hex` blob, a
|
|
43
|
+
`malfunction` fault code in place of a normal reading, or an all-`null`
|
|
44
|
+
payload from a meter that missed its poll cycle — which means *no data*,
|
|
45
|
+
not zeros.
|
|
46
|
+
|
|
47
|
+
**Watching** — non-blocking, for "press the switch and tell me what moved".
|
|
48
|
+
|
|
49
|
+
| Tool | What it does |
|
|
50
|
+
|---|---|
|
|
51
|
+
| `watch_start` | begin watching; returns immediately |
|
|
52
|
+
| `watch_read` | drain what changed since the last read, per key `from`/`to` |
|
|
53
|
+
| `watch_stop` / `watch_list` | stop one / list active |
|
|
54
|
+
|
|
55
|
+
A watch keeps its own connection alive, so it survives the controller's
|
|
56
|
+
5-minute idle timeout and can stay open across a long conversation.
|
|
57
|
+
|
|
58
|
+
**Writing** — off by default, two-phase, and never a single tool call.
|
|
59
|
+
|
|
60
|
+
| Tool | What it does |
|
|
61
|
+
|---|---|
|
|
62
|
+
| `set_device` | validate, preview the change, return a token — **does not write** |
|
|
63
|
+
| `confirm_set` | execute, then wait for the device to settle and report what actually landed |
|
|
64
|
+
|
|
65
|
+
**Learning** — findings survive the session.
|
|
66
|
+
|
|
67
|
+
| Tool | Writes to |
|
|
68
|
+
|---|---|
|
|
69
|
+
| `add_docs_note` | that device type's own doc file |
|
|
70
|
+
| `add_preference` | `preferences.md`, served with every `get_docs` |
|
|
71
|
+
|
|
72
|
+
**Reporting** — `report_bug` turns something you hit into a ready-to-file
|
|
73
|
+
issue for this repository. It composes the report, strips identifiers
|
|
74
|
+
(API keys, serials, hostnames, site names) and returns a prefilled link.
|
|
75
|
+
Nothing is posted: you open the link, read exactly what would be
|
|
76
|
+
published, and submit it yourself under your own account. No token is
|
|
77
|
+
needed by anyone.

## Requirements
|
|
82
|
+
|
|
83
|
+
- Python 3.11+
|
|
84
|
+
- A Larnitech controller you administer, reachable via the Larnitech cloud
|
|
85
|
+
or on your LAN
|
|
86
|
+
|
|
87
|
+
## Install
|
|
88
|
+
|
|
89
|
+
```bash
|
|
90
|
+
pip install larnitech-mcp
|
|
91
|
+
```
|
|
92
|
+
|
|
93
|
+
A virtual environment is worth using, since you'll point Claude Code at
|
|
94
|
+
that interpreter's absolute path:
|
|
95
|
+
|
|
96
|
+
```bash
|
|
97
|
+
python -m venv ~/.venvs/larnitech
|
|
98
|
+
~/.venvs/larnitech/bin/pip install larnitech-mcp # Windows: Scripts\pip.exe
|
|
99
|
+
```
|
|
100
|
+
|
|
101
|
+
Your API keys, preferences, and any device notes the agent records live in
|
|
102
|
+
`~/.larnitech-mcp/`, outside the package, so upgrading never touches them.
|
|
103
|
+
|
|
104
|
+
To work on the server itself, install from a clone instead:
|
|
105
|
+
|
|
106
|
+
```bash
|
|
107
|
+
git clone https://github.com/mpopovych-thinkhome/larnitech-mcp.git
|
|
108
|
+
cd larnitech-mcp
|
|
109
|
+
pip install -e .
|
|
110
|
+
```
|
|
111
|
+
|
|
112
|
+
## Where to get your API key
|
|
113
|
+
|
|
114
|
+
Both values come from **LT_Setup**, Larnitech's own configuration app, on
|
|
115
|
+
the installation you administer:
|
|
116
|
+
|
|
117
|
+
| What | Where in LT_Setup |
|
|
118
|
+
|---|---|
|
|
119
|
+
| API key | **Security → Show API key** |
|
|
120
|
+
| Serial number (cloud connection) | **General** |
|
|
121
|
+
| IP address (LAN connection) | **General**, or your router's DHCP table |
|
|
122
|
+
| WebSocket port (LAN, default `2041`) | **General → API → Websocket port** |
|
|
123
|
+
|
|
124
|
+
The key grants full read and write access to the installation. Treat it
|
|
125
|
+
like a password.
|
|
126
|
+
|
|
127
|
+
## Connect a controller
|
|
128
|
+
|
|
129
|
+
Register it, then store the key:
|
|
130
|
+
|
|
131
|
+
```bash
|
|
132
|
+
python -m larnitech_mcp add "Home" cloud --serial YOUR_SERIAL
|
|
133
|
+
python -m larnitech_mcp auth "Home"
|
|
134
|
+
```
|
|
135
|
+
|
|
136
|
+
`auth` prompts with hidden input and writes the key to
|
|
137
|
+
`~/.larnitech-mcp/project_keys.json`. The key never passes through the chat
|
|
138
|
+
transcript this way — prefer it over the `object_set_key` tool, which works
|
|
139
|
+
but leaves the key in the session log.
|
|
140
|
+
|
|
141
|
+
For a controller on your LAN instead of via the cloud:
|
|
142
|
+
|
|
143
|
+
```bash
|
|
144
|
+
python -m larnitech_mcp add "Home" local --host 192.168.1.50
|
|
145
|
+
```
|
|
146
|
+
|
|
147
|
+
Check it works:
|
|
148
|
+
|
|
149
|
+
```bash
|
|
150
|
+
python -m larnitech_mcp test "Home" # connect, authorize, count devices
|
|
151
|
+
python -m larnitech_mcp devices "Home" # full snapshot, counts per type
|
|
152
|
+
```
|
|
153
|
+
|
|
154
|
+
## Add to Claude Code
|
|
155
|
+
|
|
156
|
+
Add the server to the top-level `mcpServers` object in `~/.claude.json`,
|
|
157
|
+
using the absolute path to the venv's Python:
|
|
158
|
+
|
|
159
|
+
```json
|
|
160
|
+
{
|
|
161
|
+
"mcpServers": {
|
|
162
|
+
"larnitech": {
|
|
163
|
+
"command": "/home/you/.venvs/larnitech/bin/python",
|
|
164
|
+
"args": ["-m", "larnitech_mcp", "serve"]
|
|
165
|
+
}
|
|
166
|
+
}
|
|
167
|
+
}
|
|
168
|
+
```
|
|
169
|
+
|
|
170
|
+
On Windows the command is the `.exe`, with escaped backslashes:
|
|
171
|
+
|
|
172
|
+
```json
|
|
173
|
+
"command": "C:\\Users\\you\\.venvs\\larnitech\\Scripts\\python.exe"
|
|
174
|
+
```
|
|
175
|
+
|
|
176
|
+
It must be the top-level `mcpServers` key in `~/.claude.json` itself — a
|
|
177
|
+
`.mcp.json` placed inside the `~/.claude/` folder is never read. To scope
|
|
178
|
+
it to one project instead, put the same block in a `.mcp.json` at that
|
|
179
|
+
project's root. Restart Claude Code fully afterwards; closing the window
|
|
180
|
+
is not enough.
|
|
181
|
+
|
|
182
|
+
Other MCP clients work the same way — the server runs on stdio via
|
|
183
|
+
`python -m larnitech_mcp serve`.
|
|
184
|
+
|
|
185
|
+

|

|
+
## Safety model
|
|
188
|
+
|
|
189
|
+
**Reading is open. Writing is off until you turn it on, per controller,
|
|
190
|
+
from a terminal:**
|
|
191
|
+
|
|
192
|
+
```bash
|
|
193
|
+
python -m larnitech_mcp allow-write "Home" on
|
|
194
|
+
```
|
|
195
|
+
|
|
196
|
+
There is deliberately no tool for this — an agent cannot grant itself
|
|
197
|
+
write access, only tell you the command.
|
|
198
|
+
|
|
199

**Every write is two calls.** `set_device` validates the payload, reads
|
|
200
|
+
current state, and returns a preview plus a single-use token; it never
|
|
201
|
+
touches the controller. `confirm_set(token)` performs the write, waits for
|
|
202
|
+
the device to go quiet, then reports what actually landed, including
|
|
203
|
+
`unrequested_changes` — anything the controller altered on its own.
|
|
204
|
+
|
|
205
|
+
**Writes can be sequences,** because some types cannot be driven with one
|
|
206
|
+
frame:
|
|
207
|
+
|
|
208
|
+
```json
|
|
209
|
+
[{"status": {"mode": "heat"}, "delay_after": 1.0},
|
|
210
|
+
{"status": {"state": "on"}}]
|
|
211
|
+
```
|
|
212
|
+
|
|
213
|
+
Sending `mode` and `state` together loses the `state`: the controller
|
|
214
|
+
re-evaluates the channel after a mode change and overrides whatever
|
|
215
|
+
arrived behind it. The same applies to `vent` (`state` + `fan`) and to
|
|
216
|
+
clearing an `automation` before switching a channel off. `set_device`
|
|
217
|
+
rejects the combined forms and tells you the sequence to use instead.
|
|
218
|
+
|
|
219
|
+
**No key is ever returned by a tool,** and keys are masked out of error
|
|
220
|
+
messages.

## Device documentation
|
|
223
|
+
|
|
224
|
+
`larnitech_mcp/docs/device-types/` holds one file per device type plus an
|
|
225
|
+
index, covering the API2 status keys, XML attributes, script-side byte
|
|
226
|
+
layout, and every quirk confirmed by live testing. `bugs.md` alongside it is
|
|
227
|
+
a numbered registry of confirmed vendor bugs that the type files reference.
|
|
228
|
+
Read them through `get_docs` rather than by path — that also picks up
|
|
229
|
+
anything you've added locally.
|
|
230
|
+
|
|
231
|
+
Notes the agent records with `add_docs_note` go to `~/.larnitech-mcp/docs/`,
|
|
232
|
+
not into the installed package, so they survive upgrades. Your copy wins on
|
|
233
|
+
read; everything you haven't edited still comes from the shipped set.
|
|
234
|
+
|
|
235
|
+
This is a working knowledge base, not a spec: entries say plainly when
|
|
236
|
+
something is confirmed live, observed but unexplained, or still unknown.
|
|
237
|
+
Corrections and additions are welcome — that is the most valuable kind of
|
|
238
|
+
contribution here.

## Status
|
|
255
|
+
|
|
256
|
+
Beta. Reading, watching, and writing all work and have been exercised
|
|
257
|
+
against live hardware, but this has been tested against a limited set of
|
|
258
|
+
installations. Device types documented as unconfirmed genuinely are —
|
|
259
|
+
see `get_docs` output and the per-type files.
