[MSR] Native fan capabilty
therealdbT
Nothing more to add. I see we have hvac_blower, but, anyway, maybe a native fan on the same assumptions of the fan from HASS could be reasonable. I have a couple of them. ie, this is from ESPHome via HASS. x_hass.domain="fan" x_hass.entity_id="fan.kitchen_seashell_hood_ventilation_fan" x_hass.floor_id=null x_hass.services=["fan","esphome"] x_hass.source="esphome" x_hass.state="off" x_hass_attr.friendly_name="Seashell Hood Ventilation Fan" x_hass_attr.percentage=50 x_hass_attr.percentage_step=25 x_hass_attr.preset_mode="" x_hass_attr.preset_modes=[] x_hass_attr.supported_features=49 Thanks.

[MSR] Rule do not fire

Rule condition shows TRUE in UI but Rule never transitions to SET — survives full restart
N
Build: latest-26221-b25bb3e3, Docker on Synology. Hi, I have a Rule whose Trigger/Constraints reference other Rules via Rule State ... is TRUE. At some point it stops firing. Expanding the rule's condition tree in the UI shows every Trigger and Constraint condition green/TRUE — confirmed live by walking into the room and watching Motion go true in real time. Rule History shows no new SET, just old reset entries. Tried, on the same rule, same evening: recreating the trigger conditions with fresh IDs, recreating the constraint conditions with fresh IDs (flat and wrapped in a new Group — wrapping in a Group produced one SET, but it didn't reproduce on repeat attempts with the same structure), and finally a full container restart with a verified-correct saved rule. Still no SET, even with a fresh live motion event right after the restart. Separately, I found that this rule (and its 10 per-room clones) share identical internal condition/group IDs with each other — leftover from a batch clone done months ago, never regenerated. Not sure if that's related, since fixing the IDs didn't reliably fix the symptom either. Has anyone seen a Rule State condition show TRUE in the UI without the Rule ever producing a SET, surviving a clean restart? Thanks in advance

DynamicGroupController and attributes
therealdbT
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!

Reactor (Multi-System/Multi-Hub) Announcements
toggledbitsT
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.

Unofficial thread for compatibility
tunnusT
As there are statements about compatibility for home assistant versions in MSR new version announcements (e.g. "HassController: Bless Hass to 2025.7.3"), I thought it would be good idea to track other controllers as well. As an example, I can confirm that build "latest-25208-c53e8513" works with Hubitat Elevation C-8 platform version 2.4.2.134 using Maker API. Updates: (the latest versions first in the list) OK: build "latest-25264-2fbe9217" with Hubitat C-8 platform v. 2.4.3.123

Ooops - Deleted Reactor Ex Machina II
R
I accidentally deleted Reactor Ex Machina II (REM II) from my Reactor rules. I tried to recover it by deleting the .json and .dval in the Rules subdirectory and then recreating it from Togglebits original posting, but that did not work. Does anyone know how to recover REM ll ?

[Solved] DynamicGroupController updating members issue
CrilleC
Edit: Solved in latest-26221. Bare-metal latest-26193 I have this group: "OKforLarm": name: OK för Larm select: - include_controller: vera - include_capability: door_sensor filter_expression: entity.attributes.door_sensor.state It contains the entities I expect but behaves a bit odd. When I open vera>device_10097 the entity attribute door_sensor.state changes to true but it won't show up as member in the group, when I also open vera>device_10095 they both shows as members and when I close vera>device_10095 it disappear from the group but when I close vera>device_10097 it lingers in the group until I restart Reactor.

[MSR] Copy&past of actions and/or drag&drop between set/reset
therealdbT
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!

Upgrade advice - upgrade from aarch64 to ARM64 image
T
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

    @toggledbits did what you suggested, but situation didn't really change, array is still empty:

    @tunnus I had some issues as well. I got an empty array and when tried getEntity() I got some "Type Error". Was sure I was doing something wrong but I restarted Reactor and copied the same expression to a new one and suddenly it worked.
    @toggledbits I also noticed the array isn't updated when entity changed so I pulse the trigger every minute to update it. Will change to getEntity() for next update.

            How do I change my rule for devices with low batteries to use a dynamic array instead of the static manual array I am using currently ?

            battery_device_list:

              The first expression produces an array that includes all battery powered entities across all controllers.

              The second restricts the results to a specific controller.

                Ian thank you. I thought it would be the battery_power capability, but I didn't know how to write that in an expression. I will try it now.

                  I think this may work then, I just need to edit my existing rule:

                  60aa1069-d8de-4868-9ae0-213965417840-image.png

                  matchEntities ({controller: 'vera', capability: ['battery_power']})
                  

                  EDITED rule:

                    @cw-kid You could also do all that in one expression if you prefer and are not using the other ones for anything else.

                    join( 
                      each id in matchEntities( { controller: 'vera', capability: 'battery_power' } ): do
                        device=getEntity( id ), 
                        device.attributes.battery_power.level > 0.1 ? null : device.name + " at " + device.attributes.battery_power.level * 100 + " percent"
                      done, ", " )

                      Great thank you, I will consider that.

                        Just a point here: why limit matchEntities() to one controller? Would you not perhaps want an alert for a device on any controller that has a low battery level?

                        Also, don't forget about the format() function, which is meant for things like this...

                            device.attributes.battery_power.level > 0.1 ? null : format( "{} at {:.1%}", device.name, device.attributes.battery_power.level )
                        

                        Oh, and in my home, any battery-operated device would be long dead if it was reporting 10% (0.1). Most of mine seem to start to malfunction below 50%.

                          @toggledbits I'm trying to understand the pros and cons of using this vs the new DynamicGroupController, could you give a short summation?

                            Hi @crille !

                            In this post we are having this discussion about Dynamic, I am having a hard time getting it to work, but it will be very good, the concept is great and this will make it much easier.

                              @wmarcolin Yes, but the goal seems to be the same so what's the pros of doing it in the DynamicGroupController? More efficient, more dynamic, less complex etc, than a global expression like the one above?
                              I'm all up for new improved ways of doing things just need an explanation of why 🙂

                                In my opinion, everything you put in: more efficient, more dynamic, less complex. Below is a screenshot of how I do it today, and it would be replaced only by the format expression already directly inside a message as per telegram.

                                77669a6a-5057-4bfc-9370-a32da5a597b3-image.png

                                I will also use it to easily know all the devices that will be tripped in the house, see the other post for what I am adding after the battery. Besides this, unifying devices that for example are triggered by a contact or movement and have different expressions, will help unify and set up the alarm trigger management.
