I have the following yaml configuration in local_mqtt_devices file
x_mqtt_device: set_speed: arguments: speed: type: str topic: "command/%friendly_name%" payload: type: json expr: '{ "fan": parameters.speed }'While this works fine, I'm wondering how this could be changed to "fixed" parameters, as in this case "fan" only accepts "A", "Q" or a numeric value of 1-5?
Hi!
I get this message when I'm on the status tab:
System Configuration Check
The time on this system and on the Reactor host are significantly different. This may be due to incorrect system configuration on either or both. Please check the configuration of both systems. The host reports 2025-04-01T15:29:29.252Z; browser reports 2025-04-01T15:29:40.528Z; difference 11.276 seconds.
I have MSR installed as a docker on my Home Assistant Blue / Hardkernel ODROID-N2/N2+. MSR version is latest-25082-3c348de6.
HA versions are:
Core 2025.3.4
Supervisor 2025.03.4
Operating System 15.1
I have restarted HA as well as MSR multiple times. This message didn´t show two weeks ago. Don´t know if it have anything to do with the latest MSR version.
Do anyone know what I can try?
Thanks in advance!

I have a very strange situation, where if InfluxDB restarts, other containers may fail when restarting at the same time (under not easy to understand circumstances), and InfluxDB remains unreachable (and these containers crashes). I need to reboot these containers in an exact order, after rebooting InfluxDB.
While I understand what's going on, I need a way to reliable determine that InfluxDB is not reachable and these containers are not reachable, in order to identify this situation and manually check what's going on - and, maybe, in the future, automatically restart them if needed.
So, I was looking at HTTP Request action, but I need to capture the HTTP response code, instead of the response (becase if ping is OK, InfluxDB will reply with a 204), and, potentially, a way to programmatically detect that it's failing to get the response.
While I could write a custom HTTP controller for this or a custom HTTP virtual device, I was wondering if this is somewhat on you roadmap @toggledbits
Thanks!
Hi ,
I'm on
-Reactor (Multi-hub) latest-25067-62e21a2d
-Docker on Synology NAS
-ZWaveJSUI 9.31.0.6c80945
Problem with ZwaveJSUI:
When I try to change color to a bulb RGBWW, it doesn't change to the RGB color and the bulb remains warm or cold white.
I tryed with Zipato RGBW Bulb V2 RGBWE2, Hank Bulb HKZW-RGB01, Aentec 6 A-ZWA002, so seems that it happens with all RGBWW bulb with reactor/zwavejsui.
I'm using from reator the entity action: "rgb_color.set" and "rgb_color.set_rgb".
After I send the reactor command, It changes in zwavejsui the rgb settings but doesn't put the white channel to "0", so the prevalent channel remains warm/cold White and the bulb doesn't change into the rgb color.
This is the status of the bulb in zwavejsui after "rgb_color.set" (235,33,33,) and the bulb is still warmWhite.
x_zwave_values.Color_Switch_currentColor={"warmWhite":204,"coldWhite":0,"red":235,"green":33,"blue":33}The "cold white" and "warm white" settings interfer with the rgb color settings.
Reactor can change bulb colors with rgb_color set — (value, ui8, 0x000000 to 0xffffff) or rgb_color set_rgb — (red, green, blue, all ui1, 0 to 255) but if warm or cold white
are not to "0", zwavejsui doesn't change them and I can't find a way to change into rgb or from rgb back to warm white.
So if I use from reactor: rgb_color set_rgb — (235,33,33) in zwavejsui I have
x_zwave_values.Color_Switch_targetColor={"red":235,"green":33,"blue":33} 14/03/2025, 16:43:57 - value updated Arg 0: └─commandClassName: Color Switch └─commandClass: 51 └─property: targetColor └─endpoint: 0 └─newValue └──red: 235 └──green: 33 └──blue: 33 └─prevValue └──red: 235 └──green: 33 └──blue: 33 └─propertyName: targetColor 14/03/2025, 16:43:57 - value updated Arg 0: └─commandClassName: Color Switch └─commandClass: 51 └─property: currentColor └─endpoint: 0 └─newValue └──warmWhite: 204 └──coldWhite: 0 └──red: 235 └──green: 33 └──blue: 33 └─prevValue └──warmWhite: 204 └──coldWhite: 0 └──red: 235 └──green: 33 └──blue: 33 └─propertyName: currentColorIn zwavejsui, the bulb changes rgb set but warm White remains to "204" and the bulb remais on warm White channel bacause is prevalent on rgb set.
x_zwave_values.Color_Switch_currentColor_0=204 x_zwave_values.Color_Switch_currentColor_1=0 x_zwave_values.Color_Switch_currentColor_2=235 x_zwave_values.Color_Switch_currentColor_3=33 x_zwave_values.Color_Switch_currentColor_4=33Is it possible to targetColor also for "warmWhite" and "coldWhite" and have something similar to this?
x_zwave_values.Color_Switch_targetColor={"warmWhite":0,"coldWhite":0,"red":235,"green":33,"blue":33}Thanks in advance.
Good day all,
I have a reaction set up, that I use for both troubleshooting and changing home modes when one of my family members either arrive or are leaving. I use the companion app for HAAS on our iPhones, and HAAS reports if the person associated with the iPhone enters or leaves the geofenced area around my home. I'm sure most MSR and HAAS users are familiar with this.
I use this rule set mainly as a condition for other rules, however, as part of troubleshooting, a notification is sent through HAAS to the companion app when the rule becomes true. The problem is that I'm getting notifications now for both arriving and departing simultaneously.

36903cdd-a87f-473b-82ef-af9ef96d3c44-image.png It used to work fine as intended. I'm not sure exactly when it changed, but now I'm getting two notifications when either of these conditions change.
Any idea what could be happening?

MSR had been running fine, but I decided to follow the message to upgrade to 25067. Since the upgrade, I have received the message "Controller "<name>" (HubitatController hubitat2) could not be loaded at startup. Its ID is not unique." MSR throws the message on every restart. Has anyone else encountered this problem?
I am running MSR on a Raspberry Pi4 connecting to two Hubitat units over an OpenVPN tunnel. One C8 and a C8 Pro. Both are up-to-date. It appears that despite the error message that MSR may be operating properly.
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.Similarly as for local expressions, global expressions evaluate and update fine when getEntity(...) structure is used. However, at least when certain functions are in use, expressions do not update.
Consider the following test case:
Screenshot 2025-03-13 at 16.29.42.png
Even though auto-evaluation is active, value does not change (it changes only if that expression is manually run). MSR restarts do not help.
Screenshot 2025-03-13 at 16.31.43.png
Note: Tested using build 25067 on Docker. I have also a PR open (but couldn't now get details or PR number as my Mantis account was somehow expired?).
Trying to understand what cause a local expresssion to be evaluated. I have read the manual but I am still not clear about it. Using the test rule below, I can see in the log that the rule is being automatically evaluated every time the temperature entity is changing. That is great...
What I am trying to understand is why the expression is not evaluated based on time as well since the "case" statement has time dependencies.
Any help would be appreciated

I am trying to delete a global expression (gLightDelay) but for some strange reason, it comes back despite clicking the Delete this expression and Save Changes buttons.
I have not created a global expression for some times and just noticed this while doing some clean-up.
I have upgraded Reactor to 25067 from 25060 and the behaviour is still there. I have restarted Reactor (as well as restarting its container) and cleared the browser's cache several times without success.
Here's what the log shows.

Morning, experts. Hard on learning about the internet check script in MSR tools, I was wondering what suggestions anyone has about a local (i.e. non-internet dependent) notification method.
This was prompted by yesterday's fun and games with my ISP.
I've got the script Cronned and working properly but short of flashing a light on and off, I'm struggling to think of a way of alerting me (ideally to my phone)
I guess I could set up a Discord server at home, but that feels like overkill for a rare occasion. Any other suggestions?
TIA

Hi,
I'm trying to integrate the sonos-mqtt (https://sonos2mqtt.svrooij.io/) with the MSR and it's coming along nicely so far.
But cannot wrap my head around how to define custom capabilities in MQTT templates. I need this for the TTS announcements and similarly for the notification sounds where I would pass the sound file as parameter.
So this is what I have in the local_mqtt_devices.yaml
capabilities: x_sonos_announcement: attributes: actions: speak: arguments: text: type: string volume: type: int delay: type: intAnd this is the template:
templates: sonos-announcement: capabilities: - x_sonos_announcement actions: x_sonos_announcement: speak: topic: "sonos/cmd/speak" payload: expr: > { "text": parameters.text, "volume": parameters.volume, "delayMs": parameters.delay, "onlyWhenPlaying": false, "engine": "neural" } type: jsonSo the speak action should send something like this to topic sonos/cmd/speak
{ "text": "message goes here", "volume": 50, "delayMs": 100, "onlyWhenPlaying": false, "engine": "neural" }At startup the MSR seems to be quite unhappy with my configuration:
reactor | [latest-25016]2025-02-09T08:19:59.029Z <MQTTController:WARN> MQTTController#mqtt entity Entity#mqtt>sonos-announcement unable to configure capabilities [Array][ "x_sonos_announcement" ] reactor | i18n: missing fi-FI language string: Configuration for {0:q} is incomplete because the following requested capabilities are undefined: {1} reactor | i18n: missing fi-FI language string: Configuration for {0:q} has unrecognized capability {1:q} in actions reactor | Trace: Configuration for {0:q} is incomplete because the following requested capabilities are undefined: {1} reactor | at _T (/opt/reactor/server/lib/i18n.js:611:28) reactor | at AlertManager.addAlert (/opt/reactor/server/lib/AlertManager.js:125:25) reactor | at MQTTController.sendWarning (/opt/reactor/server/lib/Controller.js:627:30) reactor | at MQTTController.start (/var/reactor/ext/MQTTController/MQTTController.js:268:26) reactor | at async Promise.allSettled (index 0) Configuration for "sonos-announcement" has unrecognized capability "x_sonos_announcement" in actions Controller: MQTTController#mqtt Last 10:21:37 AM Configuration for "sonos-announcement" is incomplete because the following requested capabilities are undefined: x_sonos_announcement Controller: MQTTController#mqtt Last 10:21:37 AMThis is probably a pretty stupid question and the approach may not even work at all, but maybe someone or @toggledbits for sure, could point me to the right direction.
Basically the idea is to be able to send TTS messages from reactions using entity actions. I've previously used HTTP requests to Sonos HTTP API (https://hub.docker.com/r/chrisns/docker-node-sonos-http-api/) for the same functionality, but since moving to sonos-mqtt, I need a way to send the TTS notifications using MQTTController. Along with the actual message, volume and delay must also be parameterizable.

Hi, @toggledbits
I just noticed that following a reboot of my raspberry pi, some of the rules, that I was expecting to recover, are not catching up following a reboot. I have made a simple test rule (rule-m6rz6ol1) with only "after Date/time" as trigger and "turn on a lamp" as a set reaction. All my infrastructure is on the same board so Reactor, Hass, Zwavejs, ... are all rebooting.
Here is the sequence of the test case (All time converted to Zulu to match logs):
Rule "after Date/Time" set to 14:05:00z Shutdown on Raspberry Pi at 14:04:00z Power back up at 14:08:00z Rule overview shows true as of 14:08:14z waiting for 00:00:00 in GUIFrom the log I can see that MSR is picking up the rule and knows that the state of the rule has changed from false to true and tries to send the update to HASS but failed with websocket error.
Here is what I see from the log:
14:04:04z shutdown complete 14:08:08z Power up 14:08:13.111z websocket connection 14:08:15:323z Reaction to the light failed, Websocket not opened After there is a series of websocket connection attempt until 14:08:51z where it seemed to be really ready.Back in 2021 we had a discussion (https://smarthome.community/topic/700/solved-start-up?_=1738766986566) and you proposed to add a startup_delay:xxxx and startup_wait:xxxx parameter in the engine section of "reactor.yaml". When I try the startup_delay (this used to be a hard delay), the engine failed to start (I think). I then try the startup_wait:xxxx without any success. Since it wait for the connection status to be up to cancel the delay, it does not do anyting since Hass is reporting the socket up without really being up ( I think...).
Questions:
Did I figured it all wrong? should the startup_delay:xxxxx have worked? Any ideas?Here is the log:
OK now I am stuck. I did add the log but when I submit the editor complained saying that I am limited to 32767 characters. The log from the shutdown to the time the websocket is stable is about 300000 character long. What are my options?
Not a big issue simply a request if easily doable.
The MSR logs files inside the container are owned by root witch is fine however, the permissions are very restrictive. I do not know if there is something wrong with my installation but the logs permission are set to 222 (write only). Even if the docker volume is set for Read/Write the log files are retaining these values.
I go around the problem by doing a chmod 777 on all reactor logs but every time there is an MSR log rotation the permissions are set back to 222. So unless the permission are implemented in the container there is no permanent solution to this (that I know of).
I do not know much about Docker container so I do not know what is involved here.
Can the logfiles permission be simply chaged in the container to at least allow "other" read permission?
Could the MSR log rotation routine implement a chmod to set the permission?
Just a small anoyance
Thanks
@toggledbits In the MSR documentation, under Standard Capabilities, I noticed that the
button.since attribute was deprecated as of version 22256 and the metadata is the preferred way to access the last-modified time of an attribute.
Am I reading this right? Should I stop using it in my rules?
Thanks
When on my bare metal RPi with MSR I had a rule that ran every minute to check Internet status via a script in MSR called reactor_inet_check.sh
I've moved to containerized MSR and see in the instructions that this cannot be run from the container.
The script cannot run within the Reactor docker container. If you are using Reactor in a docker container, the script needs to be run by cron or an equivalent facility on the host system (e.g. some systems, like Synology NAS, have separate task managers that may be used to schedule the repeated execution of tasks such as this).
I've put a script on my container host that calls the reator_inet_check.sh script and it isn't erroring... but I still see the internet status within MSR as null.
Before I go diving down the rabbit hole... should this work?
My cronjob on the proxmox host:

Background: this is a Windows MSR install I've done for our local pool/amenity center just to run some fans and lights (not my daily driver at home). Install went perfectly fine.
Scenario: I want the lights to go on when it's dark enough (even if during a storm, not just after sunset) so I'm using solarRadiation from my weather station to drive that Trigger. Easy stuff.
Issue: sometimes, someone goes in the office and just starts flipping switches and the result can be lights turned on in the daytime or off at night. I'm trying to create a "catch-all" wherein if it is daytime and the lights somehow find their way ON, they will turn themselves back OFF.
I have the following Reaction built:
b30eab5b-5a14-4a3a-8c9a-47e3e7e53dc3-image.png
I also have this Reaction for opposite, ie the lights find themselves turned off after dark and they will turn themselves back on:
5c6946b1-297c-4eb1-9618-74820979df29-image.png
Here are my two rules:
288cba86-f941-4157-86d9-d8e7487905f7-image.png *NOTE that in my manual testing, ie I turn on the light switch at the incorrect time, when the solarRadiation level changes the Lights ON rule flags and shows as SET. On the next change of solarRadiation it goes back to reset again.
My expectation is that Lights OFF rule should see the lights are on, the solarRadiation is above the set limit, and turn them off. Instead, every other run, the ON rule moves to SET and then reset again on the following run.

Hi @toggledbits
I found this very old post that talked about a way to limit device reading to avoid the throttled problem, because it's not a question of logic, it's that the device actually sends a lot of information, in my case the NUT ups installed in HE.
https://smarthome.community/topic/687/flapping-device?_=1737652139854
It mentions engine section of reactor.yaml by setting update_rate_limit, but I looked in the current MSR documentation and I can't find this information, so I don't know if it's still valid, its effect and parameters.
My situation is simple, when I have a UPS problem the NUT is sending dozens of reports per second and then I have the throttled problem. The same rule applies when the power is normal.
This is the rule, and the parameter that fails is the Tripp Lite UPS status.

Hello -
Long time. Hope everyone is good.
I have a rule that looks at a number of temperature sensors around the house. It simply sends a general alert if any of them fall below their threshold. (A basic “House is too cold” alert for when we’re away)
Generally, this has worked well. But I was wondering if there’s a way to make the message somewhat dynamic without creating separate rules for each sensor.
E.g. “House is too cold due to Sump Temperature below 45 degrees.”
I thought I remember reading about someone doing this in the past but couldn’t find it.
Thanks for any ideas!
OW-SERVER: 1-Wire to Ethernet Server - MSR Functionality
-
In that case my suggestion for the ESP32 board seems easiest. Haven't been following the MQTT to MSR integration that Patrick is building, but I assume you could just publish the readings from the ESP32 to MSR directly. The ESP32 is about $10 and the google has lot's of examples of code.
-
There's a plugin for the OW-server that works great. Been using it for years.
-
@a-lurker I took the plunge and purchased an OW server (Ethernet). The system is up an running with my one wire connected devices. I am however having a little problem with the OWServer Vera app on my Vera Plus. On the face of it the app is working and picking up the one wire devices:
However, when I go into the 'Add Devices' menu there are none of the sensors shown - the page is blank:
I did a bit of googling and found the following information: https://github.com/dbemowsk/OW-SERVER_Emulator
I did try uploading the J_OWServer.js file as @dbemowsk suggested, but it did not solve the problem I have with vera not showing the one wire devices. I have no idea what he is explaining is the problem with the original files from the app store.
I appreciate that you don't have a Vera Plus, but if you could make any suggestions as to what to try I'd appreciate any input you can offer!
I guess that unless I get up an running I will need to find another route to pulling the values into MSR.

Pretty sure you can get it to work. Use the most recent version of the plugin here. The plugin in the MIOS App Store is well out of date.
Your screen capture can be interpreted as the following - how many devices to you have attached?
Devices: 14 Chn 1 error count: 0 Chn 2 error count: 0 Chn 3 error count: 0 EDS OW server web pageYou need to do a few luup engine restarts to get the child devices to show up.
You can use AltUi to install the plugin from the Alt App Store: see More->AppStore. Not using AltUI? It's highly recommended.
If I remember correctly, all the one wire devices are created automatically on first run of the plugin. So on my dashboard it says "No new devices to add" as they have already been added.
"J_OWServer.js file as @dbemowsk suggested" - this bug has already been resolved in the plugin at the link above, so please use the J_OWServer.js file that comes with the Alt App store plugin.
Many of the plugins in the MIOS App Store are hopelessly out of date - refer to the Alt App store list. for updated versions.
All else fails; check the log - once again this can be seen using AltUi -> Misc -> OS Command --> Tail Logs

Noted. I rolled back to my vera backup prior to my attempts yesterday. I then downloaded the files from the github link and loaded into my vera.
I had to set up the OW Server device manually (troubles with ALTUI - see below).Your screen capture can be interpreted as the following - how many devices to you have attached?
Devices: 14 Chn 1 error count: 0 Chn 2 error count: 0 Chn 3 error count: 0 EDS OW server web pageI get the following now:
You can see that it does not show the three channels now, but it confirms that I have fourteen devices (which is correct).
You need to do a few luup engine restarts to get the child devices to show up.
I have done numerous Luup engine restarts, but the devices still do not show up in 'Add Devices'.
You can use AltUi to install the plugin from the Alt App Store: see More->AppStore. Not using AltUI? It's highly recommended.
I did install ALTUI, but I was not able to install OW-Server using it. The first time I pressed the install button it thought about it for a few seconds but did not install the OW Server device. Now when I press it I get an error:
If I remember correctly, all the one wire devices are created automatically on first run of the plugin. So on my dashboard it says "No new devices to add" as they have already been added.
The have not been created, possibly because there is an error.....
"J_OWServer.js file as @dbemowsk suggested" - this bug has already been resolved in the plugin at the link above, so please use the J_OWServer.js file that comes with the Alt App store plugin.

I get the following error in the Alturi app (similar in the vera UI) and Vera log:
You can see from the vera log (http://192.168.68.103/cgi-bin/cmh/log.sh?Device=LuaUPnP) the requisite jasn.lua library file cannot be found. Now I am hoping this is all I need (deposited in the right place in vera) to get the OW Server device up an running. So, where do I get this file and where do I put it (please be polite!!).![768cd707-8727-4ce9-a06e-717661411e31-image.png]

Looking at the log it says its missing json.lua. This message tells me you are still running the old plugin from the MIOS store.
Not sure what hardware you are using? The old Vera 3 can't access the Alt App store as the comms library is too antiquated. Regardless you can just download the files from GitHub and overwrite the mios ones. Use the Vera user interface (ie not directly with SSH) as Vera compresses the files when you upload them via the UI. In Vera 3 they end up in etc\cmh-ludl as "lzo" files
The latest version of the plugin looks for ten different possibly available json libraries - see this GitHub link.
If you look in (a Vera 3) /usr/lib/lua you may find dkjson.lua, which in this case is a sym link to /mios/usr/lib/lua/dkjson.lua
You can use the command in AltUI --> Misc --> OsCommand -->Find Json to see what might be available to you. Note that this search doesn't always find what's available. But I would expect dkjson.lua is available and will be found and used by the latest version of the plugin.

@a-lurker Next instalment (sorry!). I re-downloaded the files from Github following the link you kindly provided in your previous post. There were three files plus a number of other files in a separate folder. I copied all the files from the .zip file into a folder on my desktop and uploaded them to my vera plus and tried a number of luup reloads. Was that correct - i.e. should I have uploaded all files (including the ones in the folder) as separate files and not in the actual folder?
Anyhow, something happened because now I get the following (note I have 14 devices:
and in 'Add Devices'
So I did not see the previous result before. But you can see that my devices are not being found. I have looked in the luup logs and there are no errors I can see. I also cannot see the device number listed in the log. I don't know if that means that anything.
Thanks.
-
Not quite right. You only need the files in the folder called "Luup_device". When uploaded they should not be uploaded as a folder. Here is the list of files that need to be directly uploaded:
S_OWServer.xml D_OWPressureSensor.json D_OWPressureSensor.xml D_OWServer.json D_OWServer.xml I_OWServer.xml J_OWServer.js L_OWServer.lua S_OWPressureSensor.xmlDid you check for a json library using AltUI? Because you will need one of some description.
-
@a-lurker I meticulously installed all the files in the folder only as you stated. I trawled the luup log and found the following. It appears that the plugin does see my 14 one wire temperature devices, but for some reason will not let me set them up as devices:
Could this be a fundamental problem with my particular vera plus, because I have to install the device manually. It will not install via ALTUI?
-
Looks promising - hopefully you should see under the AltUI variables tab "DebugEnabled". You can set it to one and restart the Luup engine and get more log info. You should also see "PluginVersion", which should probably be 0.52? No mention on whether AltUI detected a json library?
"Could this be a fundamental problem with my particular vera plus, because I have to install the device manually. It will not install via ALTUI?" No don't think so.
-
@a-lurker Sorry, yes the AltUI did detect a json library (or at least I think so):
Yes, it looks like the PluginVersion os 0.52:

All looks fine to me. It's now got a json library and it's reading from the one wire server and finding all the devices. It's also the correct plugin version number. Have you checked the "No room" for see if the child temperature sensors have turned up. If none - need to do a luup engine restart. It can take a while before actual temperatures are displayed ( I think it works out to 45 seconds). They then update at the default rate of every 20 seconds.

@a-lurker So I think we proved that I have the correct plugin version, the plugin is correctly set up as the one wire devices IDs are listed in the logs. What is not happening is the devices (14 No. in my case) are not showing up in add devices (similar in ALTUI):
I have tried multiple luup re-loads and vera restarts, but the devices just aren't showing. I feel I am so close, yet not quite at the finish line! Is there anything else I can do or try? Thanks.
