    It surely depends on the model. I’ve seen great results with Claude 4.5, Gemini 3 and GPT 5+. I’m lucky to have all them accessible thru GitHub CoPilot Pro. But I agree. Giving the best context with your instructions surely makes a difference.

    OK, everyone, it's almost time. Sorry for the long pause. Life takes over sometimes. The aforementioned updates will be in the next build, and I am working on wrapping everything up to get that build out later this week. Please make backups of your Reactor data as advised in the head post here. As I said then/there, I've been working with this for months now, with no issues, but my world is not your world or everyone else's world, so there's always the possibility I don't see or have an issue that you do. Prior to releasing this new build in the latest channel, the 26011 build will become the stable channel head. In addition to your backups, that gives you a relatively quick path (especially docker users) to get back onto 26011 if there's a showstopper. This build will also include unified room groups: DynamicGroupController will manage "rooms" (or areas or locations or whatever your hub calls them). If you have two different hubs with devices in the "Living Room," there will be one "Living Room" group with the combined set of devices. The per-controller room groups generated by VeraController and EzloController will be disabled by default, and existing room groups created by these controllers will be marked as dead entities (and eventually purged). If you already use DynamicGroupController to manually create your own room groups via configuration, you can either keep that (and disable DGC's new behavior, if you wish) or switch to DGC's version. An updated version of ZWaveJSController that supports this functionality will be released simultaneously with the core build.

    This is great timing! I’ve just been re-jigging my Homebridge config, finally removing the Hue bridge plug-in in favour of a native connection through my Home Hub mini. But there’s more to do, and this might help. Thanks.

    For anyone coming on this later, you can't specify ip / port in Z-way server. You need to run socat on the z-way server host as specced here: https://forum.z-wave.me/viewtopic.php?f=3417&t=32593&p=83558&hilit=socat#p83558 If you're using ser2net you shouldn't need to use socat on the host that's serving the stick C

    @Pabla said in Advice on Storing and Backing Up Bind Mounts - Docker: Perfect thats exactly what I was thinking of doing! Since I am using Portainer their equivalent of Docker Compose is Stacks and Portainer has a handy built in GUI back up feature which backs all that up. Just need to figure out how to automate it and store it off the host for easy future retrieval. Portainer is just a nice GUI - I'm using it too to do basic stuff like restarting a container or see the logs, especially when I'm remote. But at the end of the day, it's just some GUI over docker/docker-compose CLI commands: cd /home/casa/containers/zwavejs/ && sudo docker compose pull && sudo docker compose up -d and you're good to go. Easier to run 5-6 times per container than clicking on some random web page, but I know it's personal. The only thing that matters is a disaster/recovery strategy that you'll be able to quickly follow.
  • AltUI sans internet connection

    Just on AltUI: The browser would be downloading any number of resources first time round from various servers. But I would have thought the majority of servers would be using some sort of cache control header combinations to the command the browser's caching. You don't need to be downloading jquery every time you hit a web page and I think it's unlikely that would be happening. So I would have thought that the browser (for AltUI) could have cached most of what AltUI needed? What resource is the browser calling up that it can't download with the internet connection down? Maybe AltUI could have functioned but in some sort of reduced capability mode? But yes the openLuup console, as I understand it, has been written to not rely overly on outside resources. Surprising akbooer could get it work!!

    MyQ has notoriously been crazy difficult to integrate with any platform unless its one that MyQ directly works with. Take a look at RatGDO its completely local and works WAY better than the original MyQ integration.

    I did not have the latest version 23011. Updated the controller. Unknown nodes are no longer showing up. FYI - The %(#77bb41)[WARN]ings for node 25-x came from the Aeotec Siren 6. I unpaired it and repaired it and there are still showing in the log. in case that helps you. Thanks

    @Snowman said in DynamicGroupController Feedback: Forgot to mention it requires double quotes. Actually, it's a good idea to surround the entire expression in quotes, since expressions often contain special characters that YAML doesn't want to digest. In this case, that means you'd have quotes in quotes, which is fine, as long as they are different. In the expression itself, the expression language doesn't care if you use single quotes or double. filter_expression: "entity.attributes.x_hass.state == 'on'" But I really think @Pabla 's form is the best... that's a special feature of YAML that works really well for expressions, so if you want to avoid headaches, write all your expressions the way he showed. filter_expression: > entity.attributes.x_hass.state == 'on' In this case, everything idented under filter_expression is taken as part of the expression, so you can write multi-line expressions easily, too... filter_expression: > entity.attributes.leak_detector.state && entity.attributes.temperature_sensor.value < 35

    @toggledbits said in Temperature set point changes un-expectedly: but that log entry in openLuup's log doesn't look like an action to me, it looks like a response Exactly so. No evidence that anything in openLuup itself triggered that. Yhere's no HTTP request from an external source either. But anything could have changed the variable. Indeed odd.
