Agent Status Light

Local hardware for coding agents · ESP32-WROOM-32 · local-first

Physical status for agent work.

Agent hooks enter the desktop runtime. The desktop app verifies firmware and mirrors state to an ESP32 red / yellow / green signal light.

给 coding agent 用的本地硬件 · ESP32-WROOM-32 · local-first

把 agent 状态变成桌面旁边的物理信号灯。

Agent hooks 进入桌面 app，本地 runtime 校验固件并把状态同步到 ESP32 红黄绿信号灯。

Official firmware is not a public download button

Official firmware is not a public download button

Sign in through the desktop app and activate the connected device to receive official firmware metadata and short-lived download tokens. Final users do not need Arduino IDE, arduino-cli, PlatformIO, ESP-IDF, or esptool.

Service delivery

  1. Sign in through the desktop app signin
  2. Activate the connected device activate
  3. Use a short-lived token for official firmware assets token
  • Merged bin agent-status-light-esp32-wroom32-v<version>-merged.bin
  • Manifest agent-status-light-esp32-wroom32-v<version>-manifest.json

The desktop app checks entitlement, manifest metadata, size, SHA-256, chip, format, and flash offset before flashing.

通过桌面 app 登录并激活当前设备后，桌面 app 会获取官方固件 metadata 和短期 download token。最终用户不需要 Arduino IDE、arduino-cli、PlatformIO、ESP-IDF 或 esptool。

服务交付路径

  1. 通过桌面 app 登录 signin
  2. 激活当前连接的设备 activate
  3. 使用短期 token 获取官方固件资产 token
  • Merged bin agent-status-light-esp32-wroom32-v<version>-merged.bin
  • Manifest agent-status-light-esp32-wroom32-v<version>-manifest.json

桌面 app 会在刷写前检查权益、manifest 元数据、大小、SHA-256、芯片、格式和刷写偏移。

Account + activation + device binding

Activation and official service rights

Open source stays open. Official firmware updates, one-click flashing, and future remote services use account login, an activation code, and the bound device fingerprint.

This is not DRM. The device fingerprint is a service binding identifier, not strong proof that hardware came from us.

  1. 1 Sign in

    Use GitHub OAuth or an email magic link in the desktop app.

    account
  2. 2 Redeem activation code

    A purchased hardware kit or service grant includes a one-time activation code.

    activation-code
  3. 3 Bind one device

    One code binds one account and one device; the same account and device can redeem again idempotently.

    device-binding
  4. 4 Receive official updates

    The desktop app requests entitlement-checked metadata and short-lived firmware download tokens.

    official-updates

Privacy and storage boundary

  • Activation codes, sessions, magic links, OAuth state, and download tokens are stored as hashes, not plaintext.
  • Full MAC addresses are not shown; UI uses a short fingerprint and the service stores hashed device identity.
  • Audit events use stable reason codes and ids, not secrets.
  • Unactivated or offline devices keep local basic status-light features.

账号 + 激活码 + 设备绑定

激活与官方服务权益

源码仍可自行构建。官方固件更新、一键刷写和未来远程服务使用账号登录、激活码和已绑定设备指纹。

这不是不可绕过的 DRM。设备指纹只是服务绑定标识，不是硬件一定出自我们的强证明。

  1. 1 登录账号

    在桌面 app 中使用 GitHub OAuth 或邮箱 magic link。

    account
  2. 2 兑换激活码

    购买硬件套件或服务权益后会获得一次性激活码。

    activation-code
  3. 3 绑定一台设备

    一码绑定一个账号和一台设备；同账号同设备重复兑换会幂等成功。

    device-binding
  4. 4 获取官方更新

    桌面 app 请求权益校验后的 metadata 和短期固件 download token。

    official-updates

隐私与存储边界

  • 激活码、session、magic link、OAuth state 和 download token 只存 hash，不存明文。
  • 界面不显示完整 MAC；UI 使用短指纹，服务端存储 hash 后的设备身份。
  • Audit events 只记录稳定 reason code 和 id，不记录 secret。
  • 未激活或离线设备仍保留本地基础状态灯功能。

Setup path

Setup path

  1. 1 Install app

    Open the desktop app directly after installing the package for your OS.

  2. 2 Flash firmware

    Choose the manifest or matching firmware image in the desktop app and confirm the preview.

  3. 3 Sync agents

    Use supported hook integrations so coding agent state reaches the local runtime.

设置路径

设置路径

  1. 1 安装 app

    安装对应系统的包后，直接打开桌面 app。

  2. 2 刷写固件

    在桌面 app 中选择 manifest 或匹配的固件文件，检查预览后确认。

  3. 3 同步 agent

    使用支持的 hook 集成，让 coding agent 状态进入本地 runtime。

When something does not light up

When something does not light up

  • Check USB or Bluetooth serial selection in the desktop app.
  • Reset the ESP32, then run firmware status and Devices Test.
  • If status is verified but colors are wrong, inspect GPIO mapping, channel order, and polarity.

如果灯没有按预期亮起

如果灯没有按预期亮起

  • 先在桌面 app 中检查 USB 或蓝牙串口选择。
  • 重置 ESP32，然后运行 firmware status 和 Devices Test。
  • 如果状态已验证但颜色不对，检查 GPIO mapping、通道顺序和极性。
