[Reactor] Help with screne controller cycling logic
therealdbT
I’ve added a couple of Shelly Wave i4 as scene controllers and I’m planning to add more, since I can just use standard buttons instead of battery-powered scene controllers, which also looks better aesthetically. That said, I’m struggling to figure out how to write a simple rule that cycles between states every time I press a button. Example: Light 1 ON → OFF, then Light 2 ON → OFF. The part I can’t get right is handling the case where Light 1 or Light 2 might already be ON independently of the rule. Maybe it’s just too much sun and relaxation clouding my brain, but any hint would be appreciated.

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?

Expose MSR entities
CatmanV2C
Probably a really dumb question. Currently I am using the owntracks_sensor for tracking phones being in region in MSR and it works great. Digging around with Home Assistant and toying with some dashboards, is there any way of exposing that sensor to HA trivially? I could set MSR to trip a virtual switch in OpenLuup which can then be exposed to HA (with all my other Vera devices) but that feels a bit in-elegant if I can do it directly. Any thoughts? Apologies if the ask is not clear/ TIA C

Comment in Globa Expressions
Tom_DT
I have several Global Expressions that are set by a rule so the definition area is blank. I'd like to add a comment in this area that explains what is setting the value. Commenting in this area breaks the remote setting. Any way to document what is setting the GE?

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.

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.

Can't customize home page

I foolishly let my system wipe all cookies this morning and with it my settings for my MSR home page. Once logged back in I can no longer remove errant panes nor is the + available to add new ones. Brave Browser v1.80.122 (Jul 16, 2025) What have I done?! Will check other browsers on my M1. UPDATE: Safari exhibits same behaviour. I've tried both sans last-four public key entry and with - no change.

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

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

I'm running MSR build 25139 on Docker, using MQTT controller 24293, and everything working as expected.

🎉 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?

    I have a temp sensor on my Elzo Plus hub and I wanted to try and send a HTTP Request from MSR to capture that temp data.

    I have tested my API HTTP URL in postman and it works in there OK.

    7d40f38c-da6b-4f96-b4ec-6b1bd89a3196-image.png

    I then created a new rules in MSR which I think is correct?

    When I run the Action with the Play button I then see this message.

    Side Note: We can no longer copy and paste the text from these MSR alerts, since the panel layout changes.

      Ticking the option Ignore self-signed/invalid SSL certificates seems to have got rid of the error now and there is now data in the local expression.

      So now I just need to figure out how to extract the temp value from that data, as I want to send it to a virtual temp sensor on my Vera Plus hub.

        @cw-kid is there a reason you are not just taking the value from the Reactor entity?

          Very good question and I should of done it that way LOL.

          For some reason I just had using their HTTP API in my mind.

          OK let me try it that way instead using the Entity.

          I am just struggling at the moment trying to create a virtual temperature sensor on my Vera Plus.

          Doing this as Home Remote does not support Ezlo hubs and I wanted this temp sensor in my dashboard app, so it has to be a device coming from the Vera Plus hub, but its actually paired to the Ezlo Plus hub as its a Zigbee device etc.

          Its a shame Rene's Vera -> Ezlo bridge plugin didn't work both ways Ezlo -> Vera also.

            @toggledbits

            OK I am stuck, I assume I need some expression code? to look at the "Bathroom Temperature" Entity / Device on the Ezlo Plus to extract the current temp value in to the local expression data.

            Once I have that I can then have an Action to Set Variable and send that value to the virtual temp sensor on the Vera Plus.

            dae798f8-c179-4cb9-9c23-efd82f67a458-image.png

            Maybe something like:

            getEntity( 'ezlo_plus>device_61f0bbc0123e4312a1900a1b' ).attributes.temperature_sensor.value

            EDIT:

            That seems to work but its a long number

            327a0515-009d-4b08-8ad1-ac897ea200b3-image.png

            EDIT2:

            Running the rules action it has sent data to the virtual device on Vera

            99a08166-0e1b-4676-af13-50d99d37079e-image.png

            However on the main device view I see no value shown.

            5a36077d-2e2b-4439-8b83-e06a3a84660d-image.png

            Maybe something wrong with my virtual device on the Vera hub or it didn't like to display the long number.

            EDIT3:

            I was using the wrong service on the Set Variable Action it should of been:

            urn:upnp-org:serviceId:TemperatureSensor1

            I now see the data on the device in Vera, however I still need to round down the long number in the local expression some how.

            a3953363-f1d9-4c6a-8c93-f74375ee723a-image.png

            Also looks bad in Home Remote:

                I was just looking in to that

                Not sure how to round however so it would show something like 16.5 rather than just 16.

                  Got it:

                  round(BathroomTemp,1)

                  98b49fe0-6c82-49a1-bcba-72a4dff21cdf-image.png

                  So now instead I have to send the value of the expression called "BathroomTempRound" to the virtual device in Vera.

                  Which works:

                    @cw-kid Yes, but you don't need to create a new one, just do it like round(getEntity...sensor.value, 1) in your first expression.

                        Example MSR rule to bridge back a device from an Ezlo hub to a Vera hub for Home Remote dashboard

                        I setup this rule today in MSR and a virtual Humidity Sensor on my Vera Plus. I have a real Humidity sensor device (Zigbee) paired to my Ezlo Plus. But as Home Remote dashboard app does not support Ezlo hubs and I wanted a tile showing the Humidity value, the device has to come from the Vera hub...
