    @therealdb said in Using Google Calendar data from HA in Reactor: There’s a part dedicated to dates in the docs. I think the best approach is to parse the date from the attribute and compare day and month part to start/end. Everything is covered under expressions in the docs. I figured the issue out. All the documentation in HA had been telling me to use haas_attr: offset_reached to cue to the calendar event, which seems to work in Home Assistant when creating automations, but not in MSR. What I found through a bit of trial and error is that what I'm actually looking for is haas.state (primary). Once I figured that out, adding conditions based upon hass_attr: message, which is actually the calendar title.

    @toggledbits my bad on the logs. I didn't necessarily think of this as "error" as much as "what did I miss??" Adjustment made and all looks happy. [image: 1663441983814-f56ae334-807b-42d1-91df-9a14fe1b620a-image.png] [image: 1663442027696-4daa6b73-7325-458c-b845-b48451042826-image.png]

    @toggledbits I’ll try them soon. I’m quite busy at work, but I hope to remove a couple of virtual devices from my Vera and move ha bridge and my dashboard to native MSR http commands. Thanks for the addition!

    Experience has taught me that it is usually more mystifying to users why a device isn't listed at all when they think they want to use it, than listing a device and having it display no attributes or actions for it.

    @toggledbits no errors in the log (sorry, I had a long day yesterday and was too late at home to check), but the new version is working good again. Thanks!

    Just to close the loop, per the release notes for 22257, a device exception was created for IBlinds 2.0, and @tamorgen confirmed via PM that it's working as expected.

    @tamorgen I can assure you that OWM does work very well with MSR. I am not using the reactor.yaml config, however. I call to OWM with a ruleset that populates multiple variables. I do this for OWN, Apple Sky, and Ambient (from my own wx station's API.)

    Just tested this out on Chrome and the window disappears once the mouse moves away from the entity, have you tried a different browser perhaps?

    Yeah, I usually pay attention to the green text when looking for true conditions. The red x's look too much like a web error icon so didn't even think about looking at a true condition to see what it looked like.

    This warning can be ignored for HTTP Request actions only. It should be heeded for all other types. I will silence the notice on the next build.

    So, I have found my missing parameters! They appeared following a reactor update. Perhaps next time I add new vera devices, I should stop reactor and re-start it after I have added the new devices and things have settled down. Anyhow, thanks again for your assitance Patrick.

    Hi @toggledbits !! After your class in January, I started using Dynamic Group Controller to manage devices that have no changes after a period to alert me of an eventual problem (48 hours for one group and 7 days for another). "dgc_lastupdate_48h": name: DGC Last Update Up 48 hours select: - include_controller: - hubitat - exclude_entity: - "hubitat>54" - "hubitat>257" - "hubitat>56" filter_expression: > entity.lastupdate < (time()-172800000) "dgc_lastupdate_7d": name: DGC Last Update Up 7 days select: - include_entity: - "hubitat>107" - "hubitat>1569" - "hubitat>483" filter_expression: > entity.lastupdate < (time()-604800000) It works and helped a lot, but as you already said, it can fail because a simple name update or reset of the HE/MSR can update everything and not indicate failures. Even updating the battery does not mean that the device is working. It can send a signal, but having no action does not help to identify the failure. So I don't know if I could include in the Thanksgiving wishlist maybe something like Last Action, where it would store the date and time of when the device performs an action, i.e., the primary attribute that triggers a Trigger, for example. Sorry to bother you with this subject again, but with a very large number of devices that I already have, it is becoming increasingly difficult to identify failures, a device that stops working, and then impacts the entire automation. Thanks.

    @toggledbits I wasn't sure at the time of the OP post that it was a legit bug and not just... me.

    @toggledbits said in Create Expression to call out Entity ID of Tripped Binary Sensor: You can't do it in x_hass_system.call_service (specifically and uniquely) because the data is an object field in that action, and the substitution doesn't work in object types, only in strings. This restriction has been lifted in build 22251. The data will now be stored as a string rather than an object, so that substitution can occur. This requires that any use of call_service be edited, so that the stored data is updated to the new form. You'll get alerts for actions that need to be edited. See the announcement for build 22251 for more info.
