    @therealdb Gonna keep an eye on this as I've just implemented a slew of these around the house via MQTT in Home Assistant.

    In my exhaustion (anger? Lol), I mistyped. I’m at 22.04. 🙂

    I do fire an email just before the reboot. I took a break to check emails and wrap up for the day and this is what triggered it for me. If it wasn’t for this, I think I’d still be digging. I send lots of emails, perhaps too many, when different things happen. This is a great idea!

    I have to go look at the rule today. I thought I set a variable on reboot which would only allow one event/reboot. At least I thought about this possibility but I clearly missed something.

    Thanks for the consoling, gents. I’ve appreciated both of your support over the past year as I’ve slowly moved away from Vera to HASS with Reactor being the central rules engine.

    @gwp1 said in Sanity check on rule: using the sun as a condition for Group reactions:

    My sunrise/sunset OR is simply to act as the Condition noting the sun has "changed".

    Yeah... doesn't work that way. between sunrise and sunset is true during the configured period, so the parent OR group is true. When sunset arrives, the first condition goes false but the second condition goes true in the same evaluation/instant, so the group remains true because both conditions were never false at the same instant, you just traded one for the other. There is no "dead period" between the two conditions, one changes to the other instantly, so the OR group never changes state (remains true forever with the conditions given).

    There are many choices to get to what you want. I'm going to leave it to your creativity to imagine/solve. Hint: you can do it without changing the structure of this rule or its conditions and reactions, just by choosing condition options carefully in the right places.

    @toggledbits A few more thoughts:

    I would like to parameterize primary_attribute: and temperature_sensor.units to give the user the oppurtunity to choose between for example temperature or humidity and C or F. Before I show you all my failures, is it supposed to be doable in current release? (I'm now doing it by having the same templates in one file but with different primary_attribute: and id's)

    I'd like to suggest more aliases for value_sensor for example atmospheric_pressure and signal_strength both with .units. Is that something you would consider or is there another way to accomplish two value_sensor in one entity?

    Before I show you all my failures, is it possible somehow to predefine values for light_effect?

    Thank you for your patience and let me know if you need me to provide more info if the answer isn't just yes or no 🙂

    @toggledbits In configuring the entity for OwnTracks... completely disregard my prior insanity. I'm finding all sorta good things BY READING ALL THE WORDS in the manual.

    🤫

    I'll be out the rest of the day - still just poking at this.

  • And the same to you, @toggledbits

    Reactor version: latest-22343-ef2b8f75
    OS: Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS, AMD EPYC 7262
    Reactor installed vis Docker (docker-compose to be exact), version 20.10.12, build 20.10.12-0ubuntu4
    Hub involved: Ezlo Plus Firmware 2.0.33.2116.2 Advanced Scenes 1.56

    Yes, much better - things seem to be working now. I'd attach a log (as you mentioned there were warnings about setting undefined, among other things), but apparently I can't do that yet, so I'll stand by for directions on the data collection.

    Thanks for your help.

    OK, Thanks for this. I do prefer to use constraints where they work (my thinking it prevents constant evaluations when not needed). I'll be extra careful in rules that are not often setting and have long time delays where something may or may not become true.
    I'll move the constraints as set into condition groups and try that 🙂
    Update: Scrubbed the constraints and rule is set. Thanks as always.

    This seems more appropriate. The timebox AND the OR group for Heating vs Cooling with the individual Heating and Cooling groups nested within.

    Thank you both for solving this issue. I can also confirm it's working as intended now.

    @toggledbits That may be true. If so then lets change this to a feature request!

    Thanks much for the prompt reply, I just tried it and it noticeably improved the execution of the rule.

    @tbully
    I've had this before too. Something has triggered (or not) .Being able to look up where it is present without going through all the rules would have been great. MSR has a great recent history and warnings now to help, but especially when changing things and you want to be sure you have caught everywhere things were defined.
    This was last in vera for me but i'm sure it will happen again as I rebuild everything and my rules become more linked together.

    Aside from search for this, When opening nested/closed rules in the UI, the reactions don't show without clicking edit. It does make it quite hard to open a few rules to have a quick glance at the trigger and reaction.
    I might be missing something, but it would be great to be able (even if an option to turn this on or off) to also see the reactions when opening a rule to check it contains what you think it should, or when quickly comparing similar rules too.

    @pabla Thank You!
    Perfect guess on your part. This works as an example. Appreciate you pointing me in the right direction

    @toggledbits also appreciate your intent to make the UI yaml friendly at some point too. This json/yaml thing caught me out, along with the code formatting required.

    Thanks again to all 🙂

    Side note to anyone using kiosk type modes (like in windows especially). It might seem nice to have the browser restart after x hours in the kiosk settings to take you back to a home/start page in HA, but that will break browsermod and force you to re-register the browser (so, the better way is to use MSR or another way to control that behavior, if you want it)
