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
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!
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.
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
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.
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!
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)

Rule corruption after sudden power outage
-
Context :
- MSR version 22203 on Raspberry Pi4.
- A new power outage due to a violent storm.
when the electricity returns, I notice that some Rules do not work correctly.
In fact all those that use "Run Reaction".
It is missing in Set Reaction the entire part after the first Run Reaction and cannot be recreated.
I was able to remount a backup to be able to find all my functionalities.
FYI, I had the same problem 2 weeks ago.

RPis use ext filesystems (common to Linux) and are not immune from file corruption during unexpected shutdowns. They should be UPS-backed like any other system if you want to defend from this.
If you are using a Micro-SD card, I would also get away from that immediately. These are suspected to be more vulnerable to corruption during power failures due to their internal write algorithms and performance. Go to an SSD. This change alone may significantly improve resilience against sudden power failures (it's not a complete solution, but a big step forward).

Thank you for your reply
My system is a Raspberry Pi4 4GB with a 120GB SSD from stock.
Which is weird, I had the same problem twice following power outages.
I'm going to power it through my inverter to prevent this from happening again. -
What filesystem is your root? If you're not sure how to answer, post the output from
sudo blkid -
