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.

MQTT configuration question

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?

    Just trying to gauge what people use. Doesn't seem like a path with enough support in this community, and that's fine; it's not my favorite, either.

      OK, I just PM'd the 9 of you that stepped up. If you replied on this post but didn't get a PM from me, let me know.

      Some things to know about the test...

      First and most important to Docker users, it runs on a different image from the mainstream latest, so you'll need to create a new container.

      For all participants, the test code is bi-directionally compatible with the mainstream latest release path, so you'll be able to move back and forth between them if you need to. I think you'll be fine staying on the zwavejs track, and it will keep pace with other development throughout. Always make a backup of your config, of course, just in case, but you should be able to use the same config freely with any current version (the non-Zwave versions will complain about the controller not being available, though, and then move along).

      I have a meager variety of devices to test with (lots of devices but limited in breadth of type and manufacturer), so I expect a lot of exceptions and oddities with the various devices out there. Don't panic. We know from all of our other Z-Wave platforms that manufacturers have leeway to do things within the spec, and they take it, and that complicates onboarding devices. Everyone goes through this. We won't be an exception.

      I have to say, I'm really excited about this. ZWave-JS is really nice. First and foremost, it seems completely unbothered by device errors and mesh problems; it doesn't crash, delay, or do other things that other (ahem) platforms can't seem to get right. That alone makes it worth the effort. It's got a lot of support and the developers are really active. I have high hopes.

      Discussion here is fine. Seems like the easiest way to go. Remember to be as complete as possible in your descriptions of issues, including device details, logs, etc. This version will create its own zwavejs.log, so that's a good place to start (and removes the noise of all the other subsystems).

      There is data collection. The form you are asked to complete in the PM declares this as well, and you are asked to agree to it. It sends me a copy of your Z-WaveJS device inventory on startup, which will help (a lot) with device support. It does not send logs; that we'll have to do as needed. Happy to answer any questions on this, of course.

        @toggledbits Will you post a list of the devices you see in the initial survey from the nine participants? I have half my system on Vera and would move over any devices I have that are not on your list.

          Really appreciate the effort. My Vera with all the non-migrated Z-Wave is currently not reachable (holiday home). Can't migrate the devices to HA without being there. End of March I might be there to do it. Still need to find a way to get MSR to run. There is no easy way to run it on the same hardware my HA is running on (I run HA OS on bare metal). Or have I missed a MSR addon for HA?

              I am running MSR in docker. I deleted MSR and installed the zwavejs version pointing to the MSR data directories. Didn't loose a thing.

                Finally got there... MSR-zwavejs installation (docker) went very well, no issues there. It was a different story with HASS. I am running an unsupported version of Home Assistant Supervised on a raspberry pi (bulleyes). I had to get rid of the zwave2mqtt addon and install it by itself (still with docker). Then I had to re-install the zwavejs integration. Home assistant documentation for zwave has a procedure to migrate the integratio to a new server without losing any devices. That helped alot.

                @toggledbits, you should be seeing some data going you way. If not let me know. I will also complete my transition from vera to zwavejs in the following days. So more devices will eventually show up.

                      @toggledbits Since we are at the beginning of this, should we put a header like "ZWAVE-JS" at the begining of the title for every new post related to Zwave-JS just to flag the topic? Or do we keep on going into this thread for all issues, questions, etc...?

                            Hello, i'm running zwavejs2mqtt addon on Home Assistant and the addon don't allow to connect to the addon via IP address. Is there a solution for this or i'm out of luck?

                            I'm running my Reactor on a docker on Unraid, and home assistant os as a VM on the unraid, i can't install docker zwavejs2mqtt because for some unknown reason my zwave stick loses a connection with the docker after couple of days and cant find the solution for that.

                            cheers

                                @sender If you're happy with whatever you are using for automations, you may not need Reactor. If you're struggling with Node-Red or find HA's native automations too limiting or clunky, then Reactor may be an alternative you find agreeable.

                                        Hello, i managed to connect the HA add on to reactor. The first thing i noticed is that mappings for fan on ZXT-600 and ZXT-120 IR extender for AC are incorrect, on reactor are as follows: 0-off, 1 - auto, 2 - continuous, 3 - periodic, 4 - low, 5 - medium, 6 - high, in zwavejs web console are 0 - Auto low, 1- Low, 3 - High, 5 - Medium

                                          Hello, i managed to connect the HA add on to reactor.

                                          As I mentionned earlier in this thread, I also had issues with the zwavejs2mqtt HA addon. The only option I found was to remove the addon and install it stand alone but still in Docker.

                                          I am just curious to know your setup and how you manage to make it work still using the HA addon.

                                          Thanks
