Hey @toggledbits I'm back to trying to optimize a couple of things based on dynamic group. First of all, I think I found a typo in the doc: primary_attribute: "binary_sensor.state" primary_attribute_value: | d = false; each id in members: d = getEntity(id)?.attributes?.power_switch?.state or d, d I think the correct code snippet is d = false, All that said, my use case for dynamic groups is to group 3 different climate devices, so I could easily command them at the same time. Commands are good, but sometimes I want to check if any of the devices are on, and that's easily done with a similar snippet as the one you have in the docs. But this is limited to the primary attribute, while I want to have any of the attributes in the group to be driven by a similar logic (while all are null in the group). ie, access hvac_control.mode and see if any of the unit is set to cool, or heat. Is that possible, without re-defining an expression in each of my rules? Thanks!

Build 21228 has been released. Docker images available from DockerHub as usual, and bare-metal packages here. Home Assistant up to version 2021.8.6 supported; the online version of the manual will now state the current supported versions; Fix an error in OWMWeatherController that could cause it to stop updating; Unify the approach to entity filtering on all hub interface classes (controllers); this works for device entities only; it may be extended to other entities later; Improve error detail in messages for EzloController during auth phase; Add isRuleSet() and isRuleEnabled() functions to expressions extensions; Implement set action for lock and passage capabilities (makes them more easily scriptable in some cases); Fix a place in the UI where 24-hour time was not being displayed.

Noticing since 170 that the lock screen doesn't switch to the logon prompt but, rather, stays on the active UI until such time as you go to click something within it. Then it jumps to the login screen. Brave browser Brave 1.92.139 (Official Build) (arm64) Chromium: 150.0.7871.114

Hey @toggledbits One thing that bothers me while doing work on new systems/new features, is that I cannot copy&paste actions, and I cannot drag&drop between set and resets. #1 is for when I want to copy an action between different rules opened in two separate browser windows, while #2 is when I just need to flip a bunch of actions in the reset, or move some logic back and forth. Both will be appreciated, but I understand the technical challenges. Thanks!

I'm currently on version 26011. I understand that the aarch64 image is no longer supported. So, I therefore need to update to the ARM64 image. Can anyone possibly suggest how I update my docker compose.yaml file (see below). Ideally I'd like to keep my existing reactions etc. rather than start from scratch. # Multi-System Reactor template docker-compose.yml (version 22160) # # Change the lines indicated by "DO"... # services: reactor: container_name: reactor environment: # DO change the TZ: line to set your local time zone. # See valid TZ list: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_database_time_zones TZ: GB # # DO NOT change this path. Your directory location is in "source" below. REACTOR_DATA_PREFIX: /var/reactor # DO change the image below to the one you are using (e.g. armv7l or aarch64 for RPi 4) image: toggledbits/reactor:latest-aarch64 restart: "always" expose: - 8111 ports: - 8111:8111 volumes: # DO change the /home/username/reactor below to the directory you created for # your local data; DO NOT change the /var/reactor part - /home/pi/docker/reactor:/var/reactor - /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro tmpfs: /tmp

If you are using the armv7l docker image, the OpenJS Foundation that publishes node is no longer producing 32-bit builds as of v24. That means the last supported LTS version of node for armv7l is v22, which will go End-of-Life in May 2027. Therefore, the Reactor armv7l image is now deprecated and will only be produced until node v22 goes EOL, and I will not publish armv7l images beyond that date. If you are running an RPi 3 or earlier with Reactor, you are on this image, and will need to upgrade hardware to a 64-bit model and use the arm64 image. If you need help getting it done, ask in this category.

@toggledbits I pulled the image (well, Watchtower did) and within minutes the whole system went offline. The log looks like it ends with 26143.

I’m using the HTTP Request action in MSR and need to authenticate against an endpoint that uses HTTP Digest authentication. Now that endpoint was changed to use SHA-256 in digest auth, so I would like to know if MSR supports it, or is it limited to MD5-based digest auth?

With build 26140 (on Docker) I'm not able to clone any actions in reactions. Using Chrome if it has any relevance.

    Couple of observations: You don't need to start from ground up HA plays really nicely with MSR and Vera. You can slide over as slowly as you like (I think I was running for nearly 2 years before I got the time to move it all I've been playing with AI as well (saves me bugging the brains trust here) Chat GPT and Claude. Although Claude is better they are both wrong FAR MORE often than they are right. I've been through 20+ iterations of code, every time being told 'This will absolutely work' and it doesn't That's not a massive issue as I sort of know what I'm doing, but I absolutely would not expect any AI at this point to be able to set you up a complete HA set up from scratch. As for Proxmox it does seem to be very popular. I'm not sure why as it's kind of complex (or looks that way to me after very limited study) I'm running my VMs on my Synology NASs. They are protected on a UPS, and take a snapshot every night. Roll back to a working instance takes minutes if not seconds. $0.02 C

    Sorry, that's not possible in the current incarnation of access control... either everything is protected by user authentication (login), or its not. I use a trivial password on my guest account ("guest") to work around it.

    Never mind. I found the issue, this works as expected isRuleEnabled('rule-mj4xiyr8') where the rule id needs to be quoted with ' or ". Not obvious in the docs, my bad for not testing that first.

    Yeah, I think the underlying package has some kind of half-check somewhere, like if (payload) { ... } to see if a payload is being sent, and that would fail for boolean false and other falsy values, but it doesn't matter, I don't assume the proper conversion below me, and I missed it on the exception case in that action, so there's good permanent fix (for the code... my brain, maybe not so much).

    I will change my logic to just check for your state to be disarmed (so, no changes) for at least 5 secs, or as already suggested, just use OR with all the possible variations you’d get.

    I did a "replace script" that's parsing JSON files and replacing references. Every time I change a device (i.e.: I pair a new Zwave device or replace some Wi-Fi thing with ZigBee/Zwave), I run it with old device and new device as params. Back in the days I mostly did it manually. Here's the todo list: Stop reactor Copy storage folder (and make a backup) Search for the old device ID and change accordingly Save files, copy to storage folder Start Reactor again I agree a much needed feature will be the ability to filter rules by device. At least you'll easily spot the ones not used in code blocks and that will be useful when you don't remember the exact rule that is doing something with a particular device.
