    @apocalypsehobby Interesting approach. I'm gonna look into this further.

    I was just going to reply to @Fanan about reading examples on the forum can really help point you in the right direction. @LibraSun posted some examples of some things I was struggling with, and that made all the difference. Carefully dissect the examples, refer back to the docs, and the dots will start to connect.

    One thing that I think helped me a whole bunch was an Amazon Prime "The Great Courses" course on programing called "How to Program: Computer Science Concepts and Python Exercises." (only $7.99 a month for access) While it is not an MSR programing language course, it helped give me some foundational knowledge that sort of transfers. An example of this would be the principle of "lists" in Python to help you understand the basics of "arrays" in MSR.

    Small steps and little victories will keep you going.

    It's not something I've been using often and I'd known it had broken for a few months and not looked into it, which is why I only reported it had broken yesterday..

    Again, if you can do outside of MSR, there should be no reason you can't do it from within MSR. The trick is to figure out how to do it at all.

    I’m doing something similar (ie what’s the pool temp? Or is the laundry done?) by using HA Bridge and calling a Vera function via HTTP. I think HA has this feature out of the box, using their hue emulation on Alexa or Nabu Casa.

    Nice to know that "Restart Reactor" under tools shuts Reactor down and then relies on the host to restart it. Nice to know that QNAP is not behaving. I restart on the QNAP GUI after I make configuration changes. I am using QNAP because it is what I have so this would be good info for someone looking for a NAS to run Reactor on.

    MQTT work is already under way, as is ZWaveJS. Since those are "drop-in" features, they are not version-dependent, so I don't have any urgency around getting them done in time for the 1.0 release, but MQTT will probably make an appearance in preview form (at least) in late Summer or early Autumn.

    It looks to be working OK. Its changing the colours on the LED strip every 5 minutes currently. I'll leave it running for a while tonight.

    Thanks.

    No special powers, no cape. Just trying to make good of all the hours spent figuring things out... I can't get that time back, but I can share what it taught me.

    Screenshots of your rulesets would be helpful.

    @librasun @toggledbits I am delighted to say there were no lights between 05:30 and 06:30 (as planned) this morning.

    Review:

    Removed duplicate Set Reaction from ruleset "Sunset Lights: On" - this was already called elsewhere and was overriding the "Rainstorm Lights: On" ruleset.

    Removed Day as a considered mode from "Sunset Lights: On" as they're going on at sunset and Day mode ends then. It makes Day a mode that should never trigger - but it was at 05:30 incorrectly as that's when Day mode restores.

    Returned the weekend and weekday exclusions to the Conditions from Constraints set as after the appropriate alarm clock times.

    My thanks to both of you - I really appreciate your feedback and guidance here!

    How about "The single action trial tool"... which is the button you just clicked... "cannot be used when the action parameters contain variable/expression substitutions. Try the Reaction play button after saving."

    As with Reactor for Vera, if file formats evolve, I like to implement automatic upgrades, and I tend to leave those in for a long time because people sometimes restore backups from previous versions, etc. I can't think of any reason you should not be able to upgrade from pretty much any prior version of MSR to the latest.

    [[255,0,0],[0,255,0],[0,0,255]] would be the initial array to set a starting value, instead of ["a","b","c"]
    So red, green, blue for the 3 lights.
    Then in light 1
    red would be ${{rotated[0][0]}}
    green would be ${{rotated[0][1]}}
    blue would be ${{rotated[0][2]}}
    For light 2 set the first index to [1] and for 3rd light to [2].

    This would work for nth number of lights, you would just add an array element for each light.

    Funny enough, I had already done all those things (and more, including restart of Docker container), and all were set correctly. Leave these tips up for anyone similarly encumbered. I'll let you know if my MSR/Chrome/Windows/Docker/Container decide to fly right.

    UPDATE: I then performed a hard-refresh (CTRL-F5) of my browser, and the error message did not return on next visit to STATUS, so evidently that's the sine qua non of the reset checklist.
