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?

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?

System Configuration Check - time is offset

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+.

Programmatically capture HTTP Request action status code or error
therealdbT
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!

ZwaveJSUI - RGBWW BULB - Warm/Cold White interfered with RGB settings - Bulb doesn't change color if in WarmWhite state.
N
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: currentColor In 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=33 Is 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.

Problem after upgrading to 25067
R
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.

I am getting a Runtime error on different browsers when I click exit when editing an existing or creating a new global reaction containing a group. If the global reaction does not have a group I don't get an error. I see a similar post on the forum about a Runtime Error when creating reactions but started a new thread as that appears to be solved. The Runtime Error is different in the two browsers Safari v18.3 @http://192.168.10.21:8111/reactor/en-US/lib/js/reaction-list.js:171:44 You may report this error, but do not screen shot it.

Local notification methods?
CatmanV2C
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 C

    Hm okay lets see if I can help, I think I am understanding what you want. You could move the whole "Wake Up Times" rulset to the constraints section in your "Day" rule set and remove the "Wake Up Times is TRUE" condition from your triggers. This would only allow the day mode to be triggered if the constraints are also met.

    Then you can completely delete the "One of these" groups" and replace it with the condition of between sunrise and sunset. You won't have to worry about the rule going true during midnight since you added the time/day constraint which will only allow the rule to go true if it past 6:35am on a weekday or 7:30am on a weekend. I attached a screenshot of what the rule should look like to better help.

    This layout will work like this:

    Triggers:

    • Your house should NOT be in Vacation, Guest or Night mode
    • AND the time should be within Sunrise and Sunset
    • AND one of the phones should be present (I know you only showed one device but I am assuming you will add others, hence the 'or' subgroup)

    Constraints:

    • All this can only go true if it is it past 6:35am on a weekday or 7:30am on a weekend

      @gwp1 I don't understand all the complexity around the Day rule looking at sunrise and wake up times. I think what you are describing is that you want Day to start at the earlier of sunrise or your wake-up time, and that's a simple OR condition: Wake Up Times is true OR time is after sunrise. And the period before from midnight to either has nothing to do with that and isn't a consideration.

        @toggledbits Oy. I don't know how I missed that. I am embarassed.

        In my defense, I do have a history of designing rules much harder than they need to be. I tell myself "think edge" but still try to circle everything instead.

        Guessing for Evening the recommendation would be after sunset vs between sunset/sunrise?

        @Pabla the OR is there for future state... waiting on an update to iCloud3 in HASS that will allow triggering from the presence of my Apple Watch as well as iPhone for those times when it's a quick trip out and I let the Ultra do the work vs carrying the phone, too (think workout, bike ride, etc.)

            @toggledbits had to mess about with some mode additions/removals and changed sunrise/sunset to between to make this work as at sunset both Day and Evening modes were valid at sunset.

            753fa5d3-b693-4a2f-adb6-889fd8d3114b-image.png

            Would this be better served as is or by adding this under Constraints?

              Depends entirely on what the actions are, and when you want them to run. I'm assuming it just sets mode to Day. If the mode changed during the day, would you want it changed back to Day? Trigger.

                @toggledbits Yep, absolutely - if I leave during the day mode shifts to Away - returning home the expectation would be a return to Day if still before sunset. Same with Evening if after sunset.

                  I continue to wrestle with modes. Changing Wake-up and Sunrise to after in Day resulted in a battle between Day and Evening in the later hours as both were "valid" after sunset given the OR in Day

                  I've modified Wake-up to start at the two wake times, 0630 ET and 0730 ET, and end before 12noon ET. This closes it off from arguing at sunset.

                  2cfdf9c6-2018-49ba-971a-3b32f3884ac9-image.png

                  Day currently reads as such now:

                  • I must be home (can this be addressed better by "mode != Away"?)
                  • It must be after wake-up times OR after sunset sunrise, whichever comes first
                  • must be ignored if in Vacation (I'm away for extended period) or Guest (someone specific is checking on the house whilst I'm on vaca)

                  7b094e16-e40f-4266-90d4-ab578486832f-image.png

                  Evening

                  • should kick in after Sunset
                  • I must be home (again, can this be driven by mode != Away better?)
                    must be ignored if in Vacation (I'm away for extended period) or Guest (someone specific is checking on the house whilst I'm on vaca)

                  bed37190-98d0-4fc1-9824-4941e50bbaef-image.png

                  Night is set manually, ie not on a schedule. Two ways it can be set, the more basic is via voice command to Amazon Echo device that flips a virtual switch which triggers mode.

                  The second is more complex but still manual:

                  • phone must be in master bedroom
                  • phone must be charging for > 00:00:10 (so lockdown can be aborted if needed)
                  • can only be triggered if the above triggers happen whilst in Evening or Work (awakened in the middle of the night for a work thing and returning to sleep). If I happen to charge the phone during the day the house shouldn't lock down in Night mode.

                  0c0a6f03-f12e-4a21-8d73-3cdb56b28f08-image.png

                  I put this out there because I have a tendency (ok, more than a tendency) to overthink and over-complicate my rules as @toggledbits will confirm. This results in unnecessary demand on MSR as well as rules fighting with rules or duplicating outcomes.

                    I suspect you mean 'Sunrise'?

                        In your "Day" ruleset for sunrise/sunset condition set the sunset condition to be a few minutes before sunset. This way both sunset conditions in "Day" and "Evening" won't go true at the same time. Alternatively you could also add a condition in the "Day" rule that the "Evening" rule must be false . This will make sure "Day" can't be true at the same time as "Evening".

                          @pabla Add a specific condition for Evening = false or add it to this existing condition in Day:

                            @gwp1 On second thought I would just add the offset to the sunset time in the "Day" rule. Its less of a band-aid solution.

                                Yeaup that should do the trick, what basically was happening as you said was the sunset conditions in both Day and Evening were true at the same time therefore causing the both rules to be true as well.

                                Now that you added the 1 mins before sunset, they won't overlap.

                                  @pabla It should eliminate any race state. The original config was to have "Wake-up" and "sun" both use after but that created a mess alongside Evening as everything ran to midnight together.

                                    I don't known why you're all setting a mode like this, but I'm still using home/away/night to drive my rules, plus a lot of flags (dark, sleeping, holiday, party, mute, green mode, solar, rainy, windy, bad weather) to combine all them together and drive my reactions. I'm curious to understand why you prefer this approach.

                                      @therealdb My house modes are simple: Night/Home/Away/Vacation. All them are configured very simply, based on if the alarm is turned on (either stay or away) and who's home. That way there is no accidental/unexpected mode changes

                                        This is exactly what I'm driving at. I use Mode followed by a number of what I call "shared rules" (Wake-up times, cloudy day, temp < 40º, presence, etc.) that can be/are referenced in many other rulesets. Where I'm hitting my wall is the actual triggering of the modes (Day, Away, Evening, Night).

                                        My curiosity is around how you're actually triggering the modes themselves. The rest... I've got that nailed down.

                                          So I went back in time to when I first set modes up. Here's my current settings:

                                          b383c52d-84a6-43bd-bb3b-f298f25642f8-image.png

                                          3d099145-a298-4314-af18-d612321024c9-image.png

                                          53c7b6b5-eedb-40b6-a955-140c9ae469eb-image.png 9c58c5b8-bf57-474a-9fe8-d8c71d9c1200-image.png

                                          3827169b-c2e7-44f2-9d14-9b1d6f3764f7-image.png

                                          I will use Wake Up Times internally with other rulesets rather than trying to use it to drive at the higher Mode level. Presence will be in those rulesets as well.
