    He's got a case-insensitive test going; it'll be fine. The problem arises mostly when you send a new mode to Hubitat... that's where you need to be careful and get the case correct.

    Sure enough, it is working just as you (toggledbits) described it. Not sure I could have figured this one out. I have made many attempt using the conditions but since I was having only one, using a group never occured to me. The condition and group have similar output control and restriction but not quite the same. Lesson learned.

    Thanks again

    @alan_f very good! Nothing like consulting those who know how to use the available functions! Thank you very much, I am already removing what I had done and changing it to your instruction, and putting one more command in my knowledge notebook. Thank you very much!

    Thanks! I’m happy to have the right approach. This means I’m into the tool and ready to helps others.

    So I think in my case it really was just quiet on the entity updates, resulting in a lot of warnings and restarts. I added the Hubitat Ping app to my hub and set it to ping it's gateway every 60 seconds. I know from running several ping jobs on my own hub that they show up as recently updated entities on MSR every time they fire. Sure enough, since starting the polling on their hub there have been no more websocket restarts or warnings.I also haven't had any out-of-sync devices yet, so I'll continue to wait until I see that again and try the MSR restart instead of the Hubitat refresh to see what the result is.

    Yeah, I know that feeling.

    So, right now I'm on week 2 and I've completely removed every plug-in from my Vera and moved most of them to HomeAssistant (or my own code). MQTT is doing great, and now I'm sending my TV commands via HA bridge, then to a wrapper aggregating them for MQTT and pushed via MSR to HA. It seems complicated, but it's pretty fast. Bonus point, I have a nicely formatted MQTT message from MSR when Harmony Activities are changed.

    Next week I'll work on my solar integrations (my installer was slow due to bad weather, so we will switch the system on next week), but I've already pushed a couple of things via MQTT.

    I will eventually move other things to HA and use the MQTT trick to execute services from other part of my logic. Thanks for the work!

    @toggledbits I'm marking this as solved because I watched a couple of the rulesets WIA this morning as the day's temps ramped up.

    Thanks for your incite and guidance as always, sir!

    Surely in an election between all users, this is the most important "a tool to see where I'm using an entity, as trigger or condition". You have already explained before the difficulty, and that the effective use of a DB would help this crossing of information, but the cost of the DB is still high and can sacrifice a lot of the system.

    One day you will find a way to #1 MSR request.

    I would add one more request, that I have commented on before and I am sure you have in your notebook of improvements for the future. In the home screen, the same way you have the Recently Changed Entities board, a board that can show the history of what happens in the Set Rules, so it would be possible to follow the last actions.

    And again and repeat "Thanks for the hard work @toggledbits" !

    Thanks to you!
    The fix is working.
    Now I can truck energy consuption on Influxdb. The idea is to try to make in MSR what in HA is doing with utility_meter, Trend and Lovelace UI togheter. Maybe in future we will see a standard MSR energy plugin too.

    OK. In playing with this a bit more, I'm going to make suninfo.sun_angle go away (eventually; after a deprecation period), and it's replacement will be a soon-to-come suninfo.elevation. The elevation is the true angle of the sun above the horizon. Unless you live on the equator, the sun is not really at 0 degrees at solar noon, as sun_angle indicates. For example, right now for me in the Atlanta area at this time, solar noon gives me an elevation of just 33.5 degrees (summer solstice about 80 degrees). I think the true elevation will be a better metric for solar energy calculations, and in combination with azimuth, you should easily be able to compute ray angles/exposure to solar panels and good things like that.

    The other things I'm fixing is that our friends in Prudhoe Bay and Tromsø are getting incorrect day lengths, etc., right now because the sun never rises at this time of year. The sunrise/sunset times are null as expected, but the day length is 24 when, IMO, it should be zero, and the sun_angle is null which is again not as useful as having a real elevation.

    @toggledbits No, I guess we shouldn't spend any more time trying to understand. It works and I'm delighted. I do appreciate that you try to teach us fishing instead of handing the fish. I always try for hours before I ask for assistence. That's the way to learn and grow. Take care!

    Yep, I'm calling Vera to get the status in my system and update my internal data. MQTT is used to push the updates and it's working very well. I've noted your points and I've updated my config. I'll update the MQTTController build later tomorrow. I'm just testing all my changes in production today, to be sure everything's working.

    I've also added reactor_system>* to the published controllers, and I'll use sun information later when working on my new automations based on solar.

    @gwp1

    I really don't know if I did something very wrong, but I consider myself an experienced person, so what I am witnessing in my Hubitat is making me extremely worried.

    See the report below that I just ran, 31 nodes failing.

    You comment about leaving Reactor that I'm sure was happy, and now using MSR, this opens up a huge universe of possibilities, I'm really a fan, I just hope to have a hub at the same level as MSR.

    @toggledbits yeah, accounting the different kind of styles is hard, but I think this is a specific use case for advanced scenarios, so I’ll trade it for a less advanced ui.
