* fix(web): reject non-finite JSON numbers instead of raising
POST /api/v3/config/dim-schedule with {"dim_brightness": Infinity} answered
500. So did /api/v3/errors/clear with max_age_hours, and /api/v3/config/main
with multiplexing or row_address_type.
json.loads accepts Infinity/-Infinity/NaN by default -- they are not valid
JSON, but Python's parser emits them -- and Flask's get_json passes them
straight through. int(float('inf')) raises OverflowError, which is neither
ValueError nor TypeError, so validation blocks that carefully caught those let
it past and Flask turned it into a 500.
The status code was not the real damage. dim-schedule answered with
CONFIG_SAVE_FAILED and suggested "Check file permissions on config directory"
and "Check available disk space" for what was an invalid number. Every one of
these sites already had a correct 400 response written; they just never
reached it.
NaN already returned 400, because int(nan) raises ValueError. That is why this
only ever showed up for the infinities, and why it survived: the obvious test
case passes.
OverflowError is now caught alongside ValueError/TypeError at the 27 sites in
this file whose try block performs a numeric coercion. An AST sweep confirms
no int()/float() of request-derived data is left outside a block that catches
it.
Verified end to end through Flask's test client rather than by reasoning about
the parser: all four routes returned 500 before and 400 after.
Tests: five Infinity cases (which fail against the previous except tuples),
two NaN cases pinned so narrowing the tuple cannot quietly break them, and a
check that ordinary input is not rejected by the widened guard.

* test(web): assert 400 exactly, and prove valid input is accepted
Both review points were right, and the first is the failure mode this file
exists to catch.
Accepting any 4xx meant a 404 would have passed. Renaming one of these routes
would have left the test green while it tested nothing -- the same "looks like
coverage, points somewhere safe" shape that hid the composer injections. Now
asserts exactly 400.
Both infinity signs are exercised for every route. int() raises OverflowError
either way, but only +Infinity was in the original report, and a guard that
special-cased the sign would have passed a one-sided test.
The valid-input test previously asserted "not a 400", which did not show what
it claimed: the mocked save path fails for any input, so that assertion held
whether or not validation had accepted the value. It now gives load_config a
real dict and stubs _save_config_atomic, so the endpoint reaches its success
response and the test can assert 200 -- which only happens if the value passed
validation.
8 of the 11 checks fail with OverflowError removed from the except tuples.

LED Matrix Web Interface V3
Modern, production web interface for controlling the LED Matrix display.
Overview
This directory contains the active V3 web interface with the following features:
- Real-time display preview via Server-Sent Events (SSE)
- Plugin management and configuration
- System monitoring and logs
- Modern, responsive UI
- RESTful API

Running the Web Interface
Standalone (Development)
From the project root:
python3 web_interface/start.py
Or using the shell script:
./web_interface/run.sh
As a Service (Production)
The web interface can run as a systemd service that starts automatically based on the web_display_autostart configuration setting:
sudo systemctl start ledmatrix-web
sudo systemctl enable ledmatrix-web # Start on boot
Accessing the Interface
Once running, access the web interface at:
- Local: http://localhost:5000
- Network: http://:5000
Configuration
The web interface reads configuration from:
config/config.json- Main configurationconfig/config_secrets.json- API keys and secrets
API Documentation
The V3 API is mounted at /api/v3/ (app.py:144). For the complete
list and request/response formats, see
docs/REST_API_REFERENCE.md. Quick
reference for the most common endpoints:
Configuration
GET /api/v3/config/main- Get main configurationPOST /api/v3/config/main- Save main configurationGET /api/v3/config/secrets- Get secrets configurationPOST /api/v3/config/raw/main- Save raw main config (Config Editor)POST /api/v3/config/raw/secrets- Save raw secrets
Display & System Control
GET /api/v3/system/status- System statusPOST /api/v3/system/action- Control display (action body:start_display,stop_display,restart_display_service,restart_web_service,git_pull,reboot_system,shutdown_system,enable_autostart,disable_autostart)GET /api/v3/display/current- Current display frameGET /api/v3/display/on-demand/status- On-demand statusPOST /api/v3/display/on-demand/start- Trigger on-demand displayPOST /api/v3/display/on-demand/stop- Clear on-demand
Plugins
GET /api/v3/plugins/installed- List installed pluginsGET /api/v3/plugins/config?plugin_id=<id>- Get plugin configPOST /api/v3/plugins/config- Update plugin configurationGET /api/v3/plugins/schema?plugin_id=<id>- Get plugin schemaPOST /api/v3/plugins/toggle- Enable/disable pluginPOST /api/v3/plugins/install- Install from registryPOST /api/v3/plugins/install-from-url- Install from GitHub URLPOST /api/v3/plugins/uninstall- Uninstall pluginPOST /api/v3/plugins/update- Update plugin
Plugin Store
GET /api/v3/plugins/store/list- List available registry pluginsGET /api/v3/plugins/store/github-status- GitHub authentication statusPOST /api/v3/plugins/store/refresh- Refresh registry from GitHub
Real-time Streams (SSE)
SSE stream endpoints are defined directly on the Flask app
(app.py:607-619 — includes the CSRF exemption and rate-limit hookup
alongside the three route definitions), not on the api_v3 blueprint:
GET /api/v3/stream/stats- System statistics streamGET /api/v3/stream/display- Display preview streamGET /api/v3/stream/logs- Service logs stream
Development
When making changes to the web interface:
- Edit files in this directory
- Test changes by running
python3 web_interface/start.py - Restart the service if running:
sudo systemctl restart ledmatrix-web
Notes
- Templates and static files use the
v3/prefix to allow for future versions - The interface uses Flask blueprints for modular organization
- SSE streams provide real-time updates without polling
