    @gwp1 I have no doubts that MSR is a great tool for sure when you use more than one platform.
    But sorry I repeat myself... my goal is to only use Home Assistant in the near future and I will migrate step by step from Vera.
    If I can not do all automations in HA I will most certainly seriously consider combining HA with MSR.

    In the meantime I have found the answers on my question myself.

    http luup request to get values of sensor data/variables from Vera.
    Example for a rain sensor:

    http://192.168.1.xxx:3480/data_request?id=variableget&DeviceNum=xx&serviceId=urn:upnp-org:serviceId:RainSensor1&Variable=CurrentRain

    Within Home Assistant I created RESTful sensors to get the data in.

    And it works great.

    @RHCPNG As @toggledbits notes, I've found myself bouncing around a bit. I've settled on what I call Shared Rules - those that impact all things potentially, at a base level. Wx stuff, HVAC stuff, etc.

    I kinda branch out from there. Interior lighting, Outdoor lighting, Presence, etc. Sorta using "topics" and then rulesets under them.

    I'm also linked to our local community center via site-to-site VPN and am using my home MSR instance to control the Hubitat C7 over there for lighting and outdoor fans 🙂

    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

    @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.

    Thanks. All of the checkers I tried on initial setup claimed it was OK. Still wouldn't work though.

    Whatever you chose is fine with me. Just another skill I need to understand 🙂
