Gradually turn on lights.
Tom_DT
I have several lights that I would like to turn on very gradually over 15 or 20 seconds. from 0 to .25 in .01 increments. I have tried a few things that came nowhere near working, so here I am.

Stop the MSR by an external switch on Hubitat.
wmarcolinW
Use case: When performing home maintenance, such as air conditioning, I want all rules involving air conditioning to be disabled. To do this, to day, I have a virtual switch that I placed within all rules involving air conditioning, meaning that if I turn it off, none of them work. Then another situation: the water pump system and garden irrigation, another switch. In short, I had to create several virtual switches in Hubitat to disable rules in MSR. Unfortunately, however, I was unable to cover all scenarios, so I wondered if it would be possible for MSR to support a virtual MSR switch, which, when configured in the reactor settings, would function as a general on/off switch for MSR. If it is configured and turned off, the entire rules and actions in MSR stops working, except for the status change reading process, specifically for this switch, which, when turned on, would restart the MSR. Would it be possible to do something like this? Any recommendations from the experts?

Way to search for rules (rule state) in other rules
T
@toggledbits, not sure if this is a feature request or I'm using the search tool wrong. You have a "Search for rule" in the Rules Set tab in MSR. It works nicely to find a rule and bring up said rule, but can it/could it be used for as a "where used?" global search? For instance, I have a fairly large set of rules, divided up into 10 different rulesets. There's easily a hundred individual rules, and many of the rules have Rule State triggers, which of course refer to other rules. Amongst my troubleshooting today, I came across what may have been a duplicate or troubleshooting attempt, but I can't tell if it's actually used as a Rule State in another rule without opening each rule that I suspect it may be a part of. Thanks.

Links to MSR from HA
Tom_DT
I am using Home Assistant a lot recently. On a dashboard showing the devices, I would like to show a link to the MSR rule that controls the devices. Is there a way to link directly into MSR?

Errors after updating to MQTTController build 25139
tunnusT
I'm running MSR build 25139 on Docker, using MQTT controller 24293, and everything working as expected. But if I try to upgrade to MQTTController build 25139, I'm getting the following errors on MSR UI: An Entity Attribute condition in "Lay-Z-Spa auto heating off" (Terrace) failed because the referenced entity "Lay-Z-Spa States" (mqtt>layzspa_states) does not have attribute value_sensor.god Last 11:20:37 An Entity Attribute condition in "Lay-Z-Spa auto heating off" (Terrace) failed because the referenced entity "Lay-Z-Spa States" (mqtt>layzspa_states) does not have attribute temperature_sensor.green Last 11:20:37 An Entity Attribute condition in "Lay-Z-Spa filter pump auto off" (Terrace) failed because the referenced entity "Lay-Z-Spa States" (mqtt>layzspa_states) does not have attribute temperature_sensor.red Last 11:20:37 An Entity Attribute condition in "Lay-Z-Spa filter pump auto run" (Terrace) failed because the referenced entity "Lay-Z-Spa States" (mqtt>layzspa_states) does not have attribute value_sensor.pump Last 11:20:37 An Entity Attribute condition in "Lay-Z-Spa watchdog" (Terrace) failed because the referenced entity "Lay-Z-Spa States" (mqtt>layzspa_states) does not have attribute value_sensor.status Last 11:20:37 My MQTT configuration (local_mqtt_devices.yaml) for the related entity is: layzspa_message: type: ValueSensor capabilities: ["temperature_sensor", "value_sensor", "power_sensor"] primary_attribute: power_sensor.value events: "layzspa/message": "power_sensor.value": json_payload: true if_expr: '! isnull( payload?.PWR )' expr: "float(payload.PWR)" "value_sensor.air": json_payload: true if_expr: '! isnull( payload?.AIR )' expr: "float(payload.AIR)" "value_sensor.pump": json_payload: true if_expr: '! isnull( payload?.FLT )' expr: "float(payload.FLT)" "value_sensor.god": json_payload: true if_expr: '! isnull( payload?.GOD )' expr: "float(payload.GOD)" "value_sensor.lock": json_payload: true if_expr: '! isnull( payload?.LCK )' expr: "float(payload.LCK)" "value_sensor.unit": json_payload: true if_expr: '! isnull( payload?.UNT )' expr: "float(payload.UNT)" "value_sensor.error": json_payload: true if_expr: '! isnull( payload?.ERR )' expr: "float(payload.ERR)" "temperature_sensor.green": json_payload: true if_expr: '! isnull( payload?.GRN )' expr: "float(payload.GRN)" "temperature_sensor.red": json_payload: true if_expr: '! isnull( payload?.RED )' expr: "float(payload.RED)" "temperature_sensor.target": json_payload: true if_expr: '! isnull( payload?.TGT )' expr: "float(payload.TGT)" "temperature_sensor.value": json_payload: true if_expr: '! isnull( payload?.TMP )' expr: "float(payload.TMP)" "temperature_sensor.virtual": json_payload: true if_expr: '! isnull( payload?.VTM )' expr: "round(float(payload.VTM), 1)" "temperature_sensor.ambient": json_payload: true if_expr: '! isnull( payload?.AMB )' expr: "float(payload.AMB)" "layzspa/Status": "value_sensor.status": if_expr: '! isnull( payload )' expr: "payload" "layzspa/button": "value_sensor.button": if_expr: '! isnull( payload )' expr: "payload" and in reactor.yaml I have: "layzspa_states": name: "Lay-Z-Spa States" friendly_name: 'Lay-Z-Spa States' include: layzspa_message I realize my MQTT configuration might be a bit unorthodox, but could there still be something unintentional in the latest MQTTController build?

🎉 My very first MSR controller: OpenSprinkler
therealdbT
Since today is my birthday - and I still pretend to be unconventional - I'm giving away a present to this wonderful community and I'm releasing my first OpenSprinkler controller for MSR. It was real fun to code it - and while it's still WIP, it seems to work OK for me. It's polling-based at the moment, but I'll add support for updates via MQTT very soon (it's already partially coded). Get it at (install is similar to MQTTController and such): https://github.com/dbochicchio/reactor-opensprinkler Feel free to try it. It's beta software, but it's stable. I'll update it weekly until all the tasks from my todo list are empty. Since I've learnt a lot from this controller, I'll explore new controllers soon.

Advice reqeusted to migrate MSR from Bare Metal to Container
T
Good day all, I'm in the process of trying to shut down my 10 year old Linux home server that served many purposes, but primarily it's what I used for my NAS/Plex Media server. I migrated the NAS aspect of the server in November of last year to a true NAS solution (Ubiquti UNAS Pro), which is rack mount and much more efficient than my old tower, which it's only side benefit was heating my home office during the winter. Unfortunately it also means heating my home office during the summer, which were about to be in full swing. I have two things running on this 10 year old server at this point. MSR and pi-hole. I'm running Plex Media Server on Fedora Workstation in Podman on mini PC, which is much more energy efficient than my old tower. My next step is to migrate MSR. I know there are images of MSR out there, and creating it is well documented. I'm going to be using Podman instead of Docker for various reasons, but they work very similar. What I don't know, is what I need to do to migrate my existing Bare Metal installation over to a container. Has anyone done this? Any advice?

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.

Organizing/ structuring rule sets and rules
R
Hi guys, Just wondering how you guys organize your rule sets and rules. I wish I had an extra layer to have some more granularity, but my feature request was not popular. Maybe there are better ways to organize my rule sets. I use the rule sets now primarily for rooms. So a rule set per room. But maybe grouping by functionality works better. Any examples/ suggestions would be appreciated.

    Greetings,

    I'm not a Docker expert hence the choice of using unRaid but I would like to install MSR in a Docker and I'm looking for details on the settings used as I have not installed one manually yet.

    I have installed MSR on Windows Server 2019 but I'm receiving (3 vulnerabilities (1 low, 2 high)) error messages with 'npm' and the audit fix breaks it ('npm').

    Thanks for any help you can provide.

    David

      On the Windows side, try doing npm i --no-save --omit dev... it looks like a couple of the development dependencies are the cause of the audit warnings.

          If anyone else is running Dockers on unRaid and wants instructions for Installing Reactor, see below.

          Installing Multi-system Reactor in a unRaid Docker Notes. 01/22/22

          unRaid Version 6.9.2

          Preparation:

          Based on Generic Notes from:

          Installation - Reactor - Multi-Hub Automation

          Typically for Generic (modify with username below):

          docker run --name reactor -d --restart on-failure -p 8111:8111
          -v /home/username/reactor:/var/reactor
          --mount type=bind,src=/etc/localtime,target=/etc/localtime
          toggledbits/reactor:latest-generic-amd64

          Create a Share called "reactor" and use "Prefer Cache" if cache drive is available.
          Under SMB settings - Export = Yes so that you can edit config files. Set security per your needs.

          Go to the Docker tab click Add Container and click Advanced View for additional settings.

          Enter:
          Name = reactor

          Overview = Reactor (Multi-system, aka MSR) is an automation engine for multiple home automation systems. It allows you to develop automations that respond to and control devices across platforms. For example, you could have a motion sensor on a Hubitat controller used as a trigger for set of lights, some of which are connected through a VeraPlus and some through HomeAssistant.

          Please see https://reactor.toggledbits.com/docs for more information.

          Repository = toggledbits/reactor:latest-generic-amd64
          For Latest otherwise choose a specific version

          Docker Hub URL = https://hub.docker.com/r/toggledbits/reactor

          No icon path has been found

          WebUI = http://[IP]:[PORT:8111]/

          CPU Pinning as you see fit.

          Network Type = Bridge
          Console shell command = Shell

          WebGUI = http://[IP]:[PORT:8111]/

          Extra Parameters = --restart=on-failure

          Click Add another Path, Port, Variable, Label or Device.
          Choose Path -
          Name = data
          Container Path = /var/reactor
          Host Path = /mnt/user/reactor (previous share path)
          Access = Read/Write
          Display = Always
          Required = No
          Password Mask = No

          Click Add another Path, Port, Variable, Label or Device.
          Choose Port -
          Name = Host Port 1
          Container Port = 8111
          Host Port = 8111
          Default Value = 8111
          Type = TCP
          Description will auto populate with "Container Port: 8111" once Saved
          Display = Yes
          Required = Yes
          Password Mask = No
          Save

          Click Add another Path, Port, Variable, Label or Device.
          Choose Variable -
          Name Key 1
          Key = UMASK
          Val and Default = 100
          Description will auto populate
          Display = Yes
          Required = No
          Password Mask = No
          Save and repeat adding Variables for below:
          Key 2: Container Variable: PUID = 99
          Key 3: Container Variable: PGID = 100

          Click Apply

          Script should look similar to:

          root@localhost:# /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/dynamix.docker.manager/scripts/docker create --name='reactor' --net='bridge' -e TZ="America/Chicago" -e HOST_OS="Unraid" -e 'UMASK'='000' -e 'PUID'='99' -e 'PGID'='100' -p '8111:8111/tcp' -v '/mnt/user/reactor/':'/var/reactor':'rw' --restart=on-failure 'toggledbits/reactor:latest-generic-amd64'

          The command finished successfully!

          Notes:

          • The docker manager script will add the Time Zone based on unRaid's config.
          • If variables (uid/gid <> 99/100) then you must run the "New Permissions" script under Tools
            and select the User Share reactor otherwise the Reactor files will be R/O except for the Docker container.
          • WebUI Access = "http://[your NAS IP]:8111"
          • Follow the reactor configuration documentation for your Hub(s).

          Regards

            If you're getting an error mentioning jsdoc when using npm with --omit dev, I'm wondering if you are trying to install the latest version (22021) or something older?

              It was the latest version (22021). It was running fine but doing "npm audit fix --force" and the command you requested broke it.
              To get it running again I reinstalled node.js and ran the Reactor setup scripts but I didn't like having the audit issues so I'm off of Windows now, deleted the Service and moved to a Docker.

              Thanks for your quick replies but you can pass on my Windows install issue.

                @droy said in Anybody Installed MSR on unRaid Docker:

                npm audit fix --force

                This broke my bare metal install on Ubuntu as well. Downgraded and did npm update -- no-save and then upgraded and ran npm i --omit dev then MSR started fine but the vulnerability warning is present. Don't know how to get all packages up to date and have MSR running...

                Edit: Definitely not trying to hijack, just a FYI. Will do more troubleshooting tomorrow and report in an appropriate topic.

                  Make sure you also remove any lockfile (package-lock.json) created by any previous attempts at the command without --no-save --omit dev as well.

                  I've got one of them resolved. Working on the other.

                    Yes - I have been running my MSR in my unRAID docker for a long time now. Great details you have noted above @droy. And since a picture is worth a thousand words, I thought I would share my docker setup/UI view. This is the basic view. The only thing I have added within the advance view was an Icon URL. I also run my Reactor on it's own IP and not my unRAID, hence the br0 Network Type.

                    For my Icon URL: I put the following https://smarthome.community/assets/uploads/profile/9-profileavatar.png
                    I suppose if @toggledbits changes his profile icon, my Reactor Docker icon will update too.

                      @3rdstng Thanks for the feedback and link to an icon. I'll save that off and put it local.
                      One note - I try to avoid “privileged” mode for containers. It allows it to run containers with (almost) all the capabilities of their host machine, regarding kernel features and device access.

                        @3rdstng Thanks for the feedback and link to an icon. I'll save that off and put it local.
                        One note - I try to avoid “privileged” mode for containers. It allows it to run containers with (almost) all the capabilities of their host machine, regarding kernel features and device access.

                        Regards

                        Yeah. I don't remember why I set it that way. I'll disable it and see if anything breaks.
