Chuck b5c5431e85 fix(dev-preview): address code review issues
- Use get_logger() from src.logging_config instead of logging.getLogger()
  in visual_display_manager.py to match project logging conventions
- Eliminate duplicate public/private weather draw methods — public draw_sun/
  draw_cloud/draw_rain/draw_snow now delegate to the private _draw_* variants
  so plugins get consistent pixel output in tests vs production
- Default install_deps=False in dev_server.py and render_plugin.py — dev
  scripts don't need to run pip install; developers are expected to have
  plugin deps installed in their venv already
- Guard plugins_dir fixture against PermissionError during directory iteration
- Fix PluginInstallManager.updateAll() to fall back to window.installedPlugins
  when PluginStateManager.installedPlugins is empty (plugins_manager.js
  populates window.installedPlugins independently of PluginStateManager)
- Remove 5 debug console.log statements from plugins_manager.js button setup
  and initialization code

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:

Configuration

The web interface reads configuration from:

  • config/config.json - Main configuration
  • config/secrets.json - API keys and secrets

API Documentation

The V3 API is available at /api/v3/ with the following endpoints:

Configuration

  • GET /api/v3/config/main - Get main configuration
  • POST /api/v3/config/main - Save main configuration
  • GET /api/v3/config/secrets - Get secrets configuration
  • POST /api/v3/config/secrets - Save secrets configuration

Display Control

  • POST /api/v3/display/start - Start display service
  • POST /api/v3/display/stop - Stop display service
  • POST /api/v3/display/restart - Restart display service
  • GET /api/v3/display/status - Get display service status

Plugins

  • GET /api/v3/plugins - List installed plugins
  • GET /api/v3/plugins/<id> - Get plugin details
  • POST /api/v3/plugins/<id>/config - Update plugin configuration
  • GET /api/v3/plugins/<id>/enable - Enable plugin
  • GET /api/v3/plugins/<id>/disable - Disable plugin

Real-time Streams (SSE)

  • GET /api/v3/stream/stats - System statistics stream
  • GET /api/v3/stream/display - Display preview stream
  • GET /api/v3/stream/logs - Service logs stream

Development

When making changes to the web interface:

  1. Edit files in this directory
  2. Test changes by running python3 web_interface/start.py
  3. 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
