I need a handful of victims volunteers to help test previews of the next build of Reactor. A long-standing request was for "a simple login mechanism," but in practice, adding user authentication and competent access control turned out to be a pretty big project with a lot of big changes on both server and client sides. It's a bit more than I'm comfortable testing myself and springing out to everyone at once, so I'd like to work with a small group to put it through "sea trials."
Major changes/features include:
User authentication with hashed password storage; User group configuration with application restriction (admin, dashboard, API); Detailed control over API access, with user- and token-based authentication/authorization; Improvements to the HTTPS service; Improvements to UI coordination with the core for Rules and Reactions.If this sounds like something you'd like to help with, drop me a reply here in this thread or privately.
Good morning,
So Home Assistant decided to change the default weather home format that I've been using for the past year and a half. I had two Global Expressions set up to pull the high and low temp forecast for the day. Now it's pulling null values.
094c9205-cc9e-4fcc-ac4f-1bf54acea299-image.png
In the dev tools, it now uses a new service (Weather. get forecasts), plural, where the old Weather.get forecast is depreciated and now longer functions.
8c7a1fcc-dd3f-4268-a0b7-29d542f86adc-image.png
It shows a templow field, and a temperature field, which I presume is the forecast high.
When I head back over to MSR, I'm having a hard time finding those values in the Entities tab.

MSR: latest-24057-e9add9f5
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.Hey Patrick, I recently have been noticing that MSR has been acting up ie. it's been needing restarts and has been slow. I began trouble shooting by looking at the logs and have noticed the following errors for a lot of entities. I thought maybe a simple reboot of RPi was needed and I kept seeing the same errors in the system logs. I am oddly enough not seeing these same errors in the MSR logs. Where things started getting weird is whenever I rebooted MSR it wouldn't come back online .I would have to restart the RPi then it would come back online. I just restarted MSR again to capture logs and it restarted fine, so I guess its good for now? I think this is more or so a corrupted SD card issue rather a MSR issue but well being troubleshooting from here. The SD card is about 1-2 years old.
Apologies if this post is everywhere, I cannot consistently recreate any oddities that are happening, that's what is leading me to believe my SD is going bad.
PS: If anyone knows how to diagnose a corrupt SD card please chime in.

This system has been running flawlessly year after year for the time changes twice a year literally since MSR came out so I was caught off-guard when this happened this morning.
Time in MSR browser is EST, time on RPi is local time (DST).

I've rebooted the RPi I've restarted MSR after double-checking the time on the RPi. Used a completely different browser to eliminate any caching concerns. Double-checked MSR reactor.yamla5f23151-d691-4343-8499-8e77a55528e5-image.png
What am I missing here @toggledbits ?
Hi,
For the standard capabilities MSR sends both a value record and a units record to InfluxDB. The latter I would like not to send as they are not really any use for me and it will reduce the number of records send to my InfluxDB.
Is there a quick way to do this with a filter_entities line like: *>units?
Or do I have to update all capabilities to read like this:
power_sensor:
attributes:
value: true
Cheers Rene
I'm trying to replicate this
wallbox_set_number.PNG
into a MQTT entity where I could set a number with a min and max value.
I can't find a standard capability that fits or any documentation on local MQTT capabilities and the only post on the forum mentioning local MQTT capabilities is this post, is it even possible in current release?
My trial and error work in local_mqtt_capabilities.yaml isn't much to show as it's just a copy of mqtt_capabilities.yaml with changed names and then I got stuck.
Any guidance, examples, documentation, future feature request or denial would be much appreciated, thanks!

Hi guys,
I've recently bought a new Govee outdoor permanent lights set, and I love it. WAF is pretty high, and the product is good quality. I hope to never run lights in the front of the house.
This new addition has found me searching for something to control these lights, locally. Govee has officials remote and LAN APIs and Home Assistant has it supported, but some undocumented stuff that's integrated into an Homebridge plugin that seems very promising. Without this plugin, my playlist is orchestrated via the cloud and that makes zero sense.
In the past I got some inspiration from plugins running on other platforms and Homebridge seems one of the most active. I could map its devices via HomeKit-local on HA, but I've decommissioned Homebridge years ago when we settled to Alexa (and I want to stay simple), so I had an idea: why get inspiration and rewrite things, when you could write an Homebridge adapter that could load any Homebridge plugin and run them natively under Reactor (MSR)?
I'm not sure if that's viable or made any sense, so I'm posting here to get feedback, encouragement and your thoughts. Anyone could be potentially interested in such a thing?
Hi- looking for a hint in where to start. My goal is to set a PIN code in a zwave kwikset lock triggered in a rule.
The device isn’t exposing methods to help. The x-hass.call-service looks promising, but what would the service name be?
Plan b would be send the zwave controller a config command- I don’t see any way to explicitly send a command through JS Zwave in my environment.
Running reactor bare metal. JS Zwave is running as an add on inside HASS OS.
Any tips are appreciated.
Hey crew, I'm trying to use MSR to control the RGB values of a Z-Wave bulb in Home Assistant.
Problem I'm running into - I would like to use 'rgb_color.set' to control this, but it doesn't work, instead it always passes the values '255,255,255' to HA no matter what values I enter within MSR.
More notes and examples below - I'm wondering if this is a formatting issue that I'm missing? Thanks for any help!
NOTES FROM TROUBLESHOOTING:
'rgb_color.set_rgb' works successfully, which seems strange. You'd think they would both be affected I've tried a couple different formats, like adding quotes, adding/removing spaces between the RGB values, nothing has fixed it.EXAMPLES:
When I use 'rgb_color.set_rgb', the values successfully carry over to Home Assistant:

But when I use 'rgb_color.set', the values DO NOT successfully carry over to Home Assistant:

Core 2024.2.5 Supervisor 2024.02.1 Operating System 12.0Hi,
I’m running MSR in a docker container on my Synology Nas. The container is automatically updated using watchtower weekly.
It was working. Now, after the update, Reactor webpage is able to load, and all indications on the webpage suggests that it is working fine. However, the updated statuses from Home Assistant and Vera are not being detected.
The container logs show the following error

Noticed right away last night at closing time that the open/close had become inverted with the update to v23326.
It wasn't an awful bit of lift to change all Reactions to reflect the change but it was jarring initially when everything flipped.
Are there release notes on that version, @toggledbits ?
Installing latest-24052-d039d560 and I did a dumb thing: moving too quickly, I deleted package.json instead of package-lock.json because the latter didn't exist.
Ran the installer script - but in the wrong directory so I moved package.json manually.
Everything has come back EXCEPT for my MQTT Cloud OwnTracks entities. They're erroring because of this:

reactor.yaml is fine, all MQTT configs exactly as they should be.
The folder mqtt_templates is present:

The file it says is "unreadable" is present and hasn't changed (today's date is the Changed date because I did a quick nonsense edit to see that it was not corrupted in some way).

I was using this method here by @therealdb to run Lua Code from MSR on my Vera Plus but it seems to have stopped working now.
Its the one where you uploaded a file called VeraScenes.lua to your Vera hub and then you could call functions of that file to run particular bits of Lua code from an MSR reaction etc.

Thanks
Hello all, I am trying to create a timer in home assistant that will run for the amount of seconds left in the day. To do so, my plan is to create an expression in MSR where I subtract the seconds elapsed in the day from 86400. From there I will run a service command to start the timer for the seconds I calculated in the expression. I have tried using the time () function in MSR but cannot figure out a way to just get the time elapsed today and in seconds.
I really like these new widgets in MSR status page! Still, at least for the history-widgets, a filtering capability would be helpful. I have quite a many rules running with short intervals and they are clogging these lists making it harder to see "more interesting" ones...
Can file a request in Mantis, if there's wider support for the idea?
Hey Patrick, was wondering you could add the option to be able to disable each individual action. Often when I am testing new actions for my rules I have to copy the rule and then edit it, then once I am happy I have to copy the new actions back to the original rule. It also would be useful for situations when I need to disable certain actions for whatever reason, ie a device not working correctly. I know I can copy complete rules over and make whatever edits and then disable the old rule but it sometimes makes for a lot of different version of a rule that I am testing.
Good morning,
I'm running Home Assistant with MSR, and I do my automation strictly within MSR. I have some basic notifications set up, for instance, when my dishwasher has completed it's cycle, it'll send my iPhone a push notification via the x_haas.system.call_service --> notify.mobile_iphone action.
I saw in the Home Assistant documentation that you can push Actionable Notifications. The example they use if there is motion detection, but no one is home, you can sound an alarm or silence an alarm.
Can this be done from MSR and not directly in Home Assistant? I'd like to do something more of an acknowledgement, like if a door or window is left open, to have a way to get notified, but acknowledge that it is open, and not send any more notifications. If not acknowledged, the notification will continue every 5 or 10 minutes until the door or window is closed, or the notification is acknowledged. This would be useful in situations where I may have a slider door open for some fresh air, so it was deliberate, versus an entry door that didn't latch when entering or leaving the house.
Replacing SiteSensor Plugin (Vera) with MSR
-
I don't recommend using
if
statements. There are coalescing operators to make the deferencing through the structures easier and tidier whennull
is a possibility. See the documentationAlso your API Sensor OpenWxMap would be better without the Interval condition and applying pulse output mode (condition options) on the null test.
As for the throttling, I would comb through all of your rules and reactions to see if you have any left-over Set Variable or other actions that would change the value of any of the subject variables. Something seems to be competing with what you've shown here.
-
@toggledbits I'm not understanding Pulse vs Interval. That trigger is intended to be how often it queries the API (yes, five minutes is aggressive - I'll pull that back once this is all working.)
There's nothing writing to those variables as they never existed prior to just a day or two ago when I reopened this project of migrating off of Vera's Site Sensors.
Now, there are a slew of rulesets READING from those. That's where my confusion lies, also. In my mind, if it reads the data and it doesn't match the trigger criteria it should just stop until the data changes again, no?
For instance, the Fountain ruleset is complaining. But it's only set to read from Ambient API values - it should be done until there's Ambient data.
-
It's just an alternate way of doing things. I'm not a fan of Interval conditions, and view them as a necessary evil, so I try to remove their use whenever alternate functionality accomplishes the same.
The big problem you have here overall is that, currently, global variables changing does not drive rule evaluations. I think this came up in the other thread. Just because your Ambient fetch rule is updating
ambient_api
does not mean thatambient_temp
is being updated in that same instant (that depends on how you are setting it, which you haven't shown us), and just becauseambient_temp
changes (no matter how you set it) doesn't mean that "Fountain via Ambient API" suddenly wakes up and checks it. This may simply be a current limitation of global variables as implemented that needs to be reviewed.Another issue I see here is simply one of structure. If you've got "Fountain via Ambient" and "Fountain via OpenWxMap", then I assert you're making your life harder. It would be better to have a
current_temp
rule that itself decides if it is going to use Ambient or OpenWxMap, and the "Fountain" rule (singular) has no idea where that data came from and doesn't care.current_temp = isnull( ambient_api?.whatever?[0] ) ? openwxapi?.whatever?[0].temperature : ambient_api.whatever[0].temperature
Also, even if everything operated to your assumptions, you have a race condition. There's an instant while the first OpenWxMap fetch is occurring that the query data from a previous query of hours, days, weeks, or months ago may be used, and that may cause reactions you don't intend until the OpenWxMap fetch succeeds and the data is updated. This is a side-effect of your goal of avoiding continuous OWM calls. There are workarounds, but the issue is moot at this point because the entire thing doesn't work like you think it does.
The implementation decision to not have global variables drive rule evaluation occurred early on. There were issues that prevented it, but since then, the rule evaluation algorithm has changed substantially. I'd need to study and test if this can be changed to work well under the new order. I agree it would be "better" (work more like expected) if rules could respond to global variable changes, but there are many opportunities for logic loops and other issues in doing that, so figuring that out and how to maintain control of the system and give the user meaningful feedback about such errors may not be a small task. (So I'm saying, I won't fix it today. Tomorrow's not looking good either.)
-
@toggledbits Firstly, there is no "Fountain via OWM" as it's missing one of the metrics I use to drive that stupid thing.
Secondly - yes, if global variables do not drive rule evaluations then this whole idea is moot. I was hoping to pull Site Sensors out of Vera at long last. It appears, at least taking the path I did, that this is not viable.
Regarding how I have
ambient_api
set:That populates the rest of the global expressions:
I need to think thru this some more if Global Expressions will not work as triggers. Has to be a way to present those datapoints as triggers like I've done with the Vera Site Sensors.
-
Give me a couple of days to see what I can noodle out on this. So far, things are looking like they're going the right direction, but sometimes you get >80% of the way before realizing you've painted yourself into a corner and need to take a different approach. Stay tuned!
-
Preaching to the choir. As you're well aware from my previous escapades, I do tend to make things much more complicated than they need to be. I don't want you compromising your product, though, just because I am going down the wrong path. Steer me back!
I would very much love to have shared elements like the outdoor temp, wind speed, and solar radiation something I can just point to. I've finally done that with HVAC, having only one master set and then pointing to them with the HVAC Ambient and HVAC OWN rulesets. Consolidation is king!
-
@toggledbits Better?
-
@tunnus I'm back knocking on this again. lol
I've enabled the OWM controller via
reactor.yaml
and this will be the dumbest question of the day, @toggledbits, but where do I see the results from it? Are new Entities created or should they appear underOWM Weather
?I know I'm gonna feel like an idiot at the answer but I can take it lol
-
Yeah, it creates new entities. In the Entities list, you can filter by controller. Do that. It should pop right out at you. If you want to get even more specific, filter on the
wx
capability, which is used by the entities that the controller publishes, and these are the entities you will want to use in rules. -
@toggledbits Hmmm... I'm.... not seeing the new entities at all.
Mental checklist/talking out loud:
- It's the same API/application key from SiteSensor in Vera and verified working.
- I went with the basic config, using default location.
- Restarted MSR via
Tools
- Key is not encased in single quotes
Refresh is set to 10: for now - does MSR do an automatic call on restart?
-
Did you enable the controller in its config?
-
Hang on lol. So it seems it creates the Entity as the location name, in my case "Charleston" and then the
wx
entities UNDER it. I should have picked that up from your screenshot with "PCT Current Weather" being the location.Only oddity.... this entry:
wx.location="Melgrove (historical)"
The rest of the data seems to line up just fine so that appears to be an outlier.
-
@gwp1 said in Replacing SiteSensor Plugin (Vera) with MSR:
wx.location="Melgrove (historical)"
The rest of the data seems to line up just fine so that appears to be an outlier.It's just what OWM returns for the location search given. Every location has official place names. Here in the US, the United States Postal Service has the official place names (for the most part), and we can end up with some "official" designations that have nothing to do with how the locals see it, sometimes decades-old and long disused (working at the speed of government, there). The installation instructions recommend using the official OpenWeatherMap city IDs for the greatest reliability in determining location, so you may want to look into that.
it creates the Entity as the location name, in my case "Charleston" and then the wx entities UNDER it.
Oh, and terminology here... the entity is given the place name (as set by the
name
field in your config, or if not set, other defaults), so Charleston here. Thewx
is a capability assigned to entity, not an entity under (or within) the Charleston entity. -
I will update the MSR config to be more specific vs using the lat/long from the base location. I believe that's how I did it in SiteSensor, actually.
Terminology is completely where I missed the data that was clearly present the entire time. Once again, a fine example of "ALL THE WORDS MATTER."
-
The final update here was that I decided against the onboard OWM config and went with creating matching Global Expressions generated via API call that I was using for Ambient's API. Consistency goes a long way for me. Paired up with matching HVAC rulesets that pull from the appropriate expressions and viola.
My biggest concern was around making useless calls to OWM's API (I try to be a responsible Netizen). I'd resolved that with SiteSensor by having the OWM version only arm itself when the Ambient one failed but, alas, that was not to be the path forward here. I bit the proverbial bullet and have the two running simultaneously and use
NULL
results from Ambient as my trigger for which rulesets actually action the HVAC. It's been working quite smoothly, knock on wood.I do see instances were Honeywell's API for the stats is just a bit finicky about setting both stats in a single call. To resolve this I've added some "course correction" rulesets that resend the correct setpoints after seven minutes. So far, so good.
