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? If needed, I can provide detailed logs.

🎉 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.

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?

        ||@andr said in Adding remotes, scene controllers as entities to MSR:

        And in that case, I guess that it would work to skip event data and just mapping commands to MSR functions?||

        I'm not sure what you mean by this. I don't think you want to skip anything. You should filter the incoming events, to make sure that you are handling the right events from the right device. So you need to be specific in the event filter to both the event type and the sending device.

        That was just me trying to understand how stuff is related, not something I would try out.
        For example, in my system there is only one device that are sending "Keypressed3x" and that can not be mixed up with anything else. In that case if I had such uniq string to map to MSR command 'triple' I could skip the filtering in event section?

        Again, this is just for my own curiosa trying to learn something new.

        No. You must filter. If you don't, every incoming event then causes the response section to act and will likely cause spurious changes of the entity data.

            I believe that the following is a cleaned-up version of the final code (that which @Andr posted above is not indented properly as shown in these forums and won't work directly, so please use this instead):

            controllers:
              - id: hass
                implementation: HassController
                enabled: true
                name: Home Assistant
                config:
                  source: 'ws://192.168.0.nnn:8123'
                  # The lines above are a guide for indenting only, DO NOT COPY.
                  # --- Start copy/paste from below this line ---
                  event_targets: 
                    "hank_XXX_btn_1": 
                      name: "Hank XXX Button 1"
                      capabilities: 
                        - button
                      events: 
                        - event: 
                            event_type: zwave_js_value_notification
                            data: 
                              node_id: XXX  # Put your ZWaveJS node ID here

                            data: 
                              node_id: XXX  # Put your ZWaveJS node ID here

                              property_key: "002"  #  001=button 1, 002=button 2, etc.
                          response: 
                            button.since: 
                              from: event.context.id
                            button.state: 
                              from: event.data.value
                              map: 
                                KeyHeldDown: hold
                                KeyPressed: single
                                KeyPressed2x: double
                                KeyPressed3x: triple
                                KeyReleased: release
            

            You need to copy the lines beginning with event_targets: to the end, and paste them into the config section of the controllers entry for your HassController instance. You should change all instances of XXX to the ZWave node ID of your Hank controller. This will give you buttons 1 and 2. To add buttons 3 and 4, just copy-paste either button 1 or button 2 and modify the button number (property_key), entity name, and entity ID. One Reactor entity is created for each button you configure.

            If you are not well-versed in editing YAML, I suggest you make a backup copy of your config directory before making any changes.

              I abruptly attach a copy of my file.
              I was inspired by the code given in the posts above
              It works correctly for me.

                A couple of things:

                1. The indenting is incorrect. The parser may accept it, for now, but a future upgrade to the parser library may be more strict (I do not write the library, I just include it as a dependency). Use a tool like yamllint to fix it.
                2. You should not change the values in the map section. The values there are meant to map Hass' values into Reactor's values, and the Reactor-side values you have modified are not valid Reactor values for the button.state attribute. Valid values are defined by Reactor's button capability and include: single, double, triple, 4, 5, hold, release, and long. You should return these to the values originally given, and adjust your condition tests accordingly.

                  You need to copy the lines beginning with event_targets: to the end, and paste them into the config section of the controllers entry for your HassController instance. You should change all instances of XXX to the ZWave node ID of your Hank controller. This will give you buttons 1 and 2. To add buttons 3 and 4, just copy-paste either button 1 or button 2 and modify the button number (property_key), entity name, and entity ID. One Reactor entity is created for each button you configure.

                  If you are not well-versed in editing YAML, I suggest you make a backup copy of your config directory before making any changes.

                  @toggledbits wow, thank you.

                  I've successfully added the Hank devices to the reactor.yaml file, along with a couple other remotes. Here are my notes for anyone else on this endeavor.

                  • Hank HKZW-SCN04 has 4 buttons, and from my tests they do not support 2x or 3x clicks/presses.

                  • Minoston MR40Z V1.0 has 4 buttons, and supports all of the presses that you mapped.

                  • Zooz ZEN34 Ver. 1.0 has 2 buttons and supports all the presses that you mapped PLUS it has 4x and 5x presses as well.

                    Hey friends - I'm trying this again with another remote, this time the ZB-5001 from RGB Genie.

                    It's not working yet, but I feel like I'm close. The device is successfully populating into MSR as an Entity, but when I press a button on the remote it does not report any changes to MSR.

                    Could you help me check my work?

                      "It's not working yet" isn't an adequate description of expectation vs observation, but I can tell right off your map is probably wrong.

                      map:
                        "on": true
                        "off": false
                      

                      The words on and off have special meaning in YAML and must be quoted here. The explicit words true and false for boolean values should be used.

                      Also, your since value should be put through the time() function, because that attribute is a timestamp, not a string.

                      If there are other problems, we'd need more narrative description to help lead us in the right direction.

                      And of course, you've checked the logs for helpful messages, right?

                        Hey friends - I'm trying this again with another remote, this time the ZB-5001 from RGB Genie.

                        It's not working yet, but I feel like I'm close. The device is successfully populating into MSR as an Entity, but when I press a button on the remote it does not report any changes to MSR.

                        Could you help me check my work?

                        @toggledbits Thank you for helping, and that's more than fair.

                        I was pressing a button on the remote while viewing the Entity section of MSR, and the virtual device showed no change (the values stayed at "null"). I was expecting them to report on/off and to report the time change.


                        For others' reference, it is now working with the following code:

                              event_targets: 
                                "RGBG-Remote-Button-1": 
                                  name: "RGBG Remote Button 1"
                                  capabilities: 
                                    - button
                                  events: 
                                    - event: 
                                        event_type: zha_event
                                        data: 
                                          unique_id: "60:a4:23:ff:fe:65:a3:fb:1:0x0006"
                                      response: 
                                        button.since: 
                                          expr: time()
                                        button.state: 
                                          from: event.data.command
                                          map: 
                                            "on": true
                                            "off": false
                        

                        Same goes for buttons 2-5, just tweak the value of "unique_id". Button 1 it ends with "1:0x0006" and button 2 would end with "2:0x0006", etc.

                        A caveat to this device is the on/off buttons at the very top send the same signal to HA as the "device 1 on/off" buttons (1:0x0006).

                        Here's a link to the device: https://rgbgenie.com/?product=rgbgenie-5-zone-remote-and-dimmer-zigbee
