    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. [edited for corrections]

    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.

    Once you have been through the process a few times it goes pretty fast. I'll get more practice as versions of MSR are released.

    An additional follow-up: the aforementioned workaround was incorporated into the last release (21153); that is, HubitatController will now perform a login at the hub (even though the session is abandoned and no other work is done via the Hubitat UI) to clear the restriction on the eventsocket. Hubitat users who operate hubs with "Hub Logic Security" enabled can enable this workaround simply by adding username and password keys with valid credentials to the config section of their controller configuration (in reactor.yaml).

    @librasun said in Password protecting MSR ?: Will Group Constraints be added to global Reactions? Highly unlikely, at least at this stage. @librasun said in Password protecting MSR ?: Will Tools eventually get a "Benchmark" utility to show a particular platform's relative speed (CPU) and memory (RAM)? I've just learned that my Synology NAS, for example, runs one particular rule in less than half the time of another user's Linux box. That's never been requested before, and you're going to have to do some convincing to make me see the relevance of it. I know you've been playing with delays by keeping the CPU busy in expression loops, and perhaps that's driving part of this request. Sounds like an X-Y Problem to me, really. I'd rather know what you are trying to do. @librasun said in Password protecting MSR ?: Any plans for a Rule Registry thereby MSR users share and rate their favorite rules/recipes (or just keep it in the Forum?)? Plans? No, but all things are possible. Open a PR for it as a feature request and I'll add it to the wish list. But I think it's premature. Right now, I have no evidence there's really an audience for this project beyond the dozen or so users currently using it. It would be great to share rules, but that's only valuable if there are users to share rules with. @librasun said in Password protecting MSR ?: Can we get collapsible Group Constraints, or go back to the "Move Up 1" / "Move Down 1" style of rearranging rule elements? Reason: Longish groups are sometimes nigh impossible to reorder drag-and-drop (they wanna go, but unless the mouse has a LOT of vertical movement available after clicking, "tall" ones kinda blubber into whatever position feels easiest for them ... usually right where they were initially). Open a PR for it as a feature request and I can put it on the wish list.

    @sweetgenius Thanks for checking that out. I imagine the best way to do a last state for a light would then be two variables. Was the light on, and if yes, then last level.

    I'm talking about the Status top-level, not Rule status.

    I use scp just to copy the config and storage directories. That's really all you need to from Reactor to get it going on a reinstall, as you've seen. I find file-based backups of entire Linux systems to be perilous, because permissions, links and special files almost always get screwed up somehow, so I never recommend that route. An image backup is better (I use partclone to back up used space only, and it's good about the later target system being a different size/geometry than the original/source), but I'll only do that maybe 1-2 times per year. I figure if I can restore an image quickly and apt-get update my way back to current, that's fast enough on recovery.

    @tarkus very nice! Yep, I will be looking into this for sure.
