How to upgrade from an old version of MSR?
cw-kidC
Hello I haven't updated my installation of MSR in a very long time. Its a bare metal Linux install currently on version 24366-3de60836 I see the latest version is now latest-26011-c621bbc7 I assume I cannot just jump from a very old version to the latest version? Or can I? Thanks

Self test
CatmanV2C
Having been messing around with some stuff I worked a way to self trigger some tests that I wanted to do on the HA <> MSR integration This got me wondering if there's an entity that changes state / is exposed when a configured controller goes off line? I can't see one but thought it might be hidden or something? Cheers C

Access control - allowing anonymous user to dashboard
tunnusT
Using build 25328 and having the following users.yaml configuration: users: # This section defines your valid users. admin: ******* groups: # This section defines your user groups. Optionally, it defines application # and API access restrictions (ACLs) for the group. Users may belong to # more than one group. Again, no required or special groups here. admin_group: users: - admin applications: true # special form allows access to ALL applications guests: users: "*" applications: - dashboard api_acls: # This ACL allows users in the "admin" group to access the API - url: "/api" group: admin_group allow: true log: true # This ACL allows anyone/thing to access the /api/v1/alive API endpoint - url: "/api/v1/alive" allow: true session: timeout: 7200 # (seconds) rolling: true # activity extends timeout when true # If log_acls is true, the selected ACL for every API access is logged. log_acls: true # If debug_acls is true, even more information about ACL selection is logged. debug_acls: true My goal is to allow anonymous user to dashboard, but MSR is still asking for a password when trying to access that. Nothing in the logs related to dashboard access. Probably an error in the configuration, but help needed to find that. Tried to put url: "/dashboard" under api_acls, but that was a long shot and didn't work.

VEC Virtual Switch Auto Off
S
I use Virtual Entity Controller virtual switches which I turn on via webhooks from other applications. Once a switch triggers and turns on, I can then activate associated rules. I would like each virtual switch to automatically turn off after a configurable time (e.g., 5 seconds, 10 seconds). Is there a better way to achieve this auto-off behavior instead of creating a separate rule for each switch that uses the 'Condition must be sustained for' option to turn it off? With a large number of these switches (and the associated turn-off rules), I'm checking to see if there is a simpler approach.If not, could this be a feature request to add an auto-off timer directly to the virtual switches.

Upcoming Storage Change -- Got Back-ups?
toggledbitsT
TL;DR: Format of data in storage directory will soon change. Make sure you are backing up the contents of that directory in its entirety, and you preserve your backups for an extended period, particularly the backup you take right before upgrading to the build containing this change (date of that is still to be determined, but soon). The old data format will remain readable (so you'll be able to read your pre-change backups) for the foreseeable future. In support of a number of other changes in the works, I have found it necessary to change the storage format for Reactor objects in storage at the physical level. Until now, plain, standard JSON has been used to store the data (everything under the storage directory). This has served well, but has a few limitations, including no real support for native JavaScript objects like Date, Map, Set, and others. It also is unable to store data that contains "loops" — objects that reference themselves in some way. I'm not sure exactly when, but in the not-too-distant future I will publish a build using the new data format. It will automatically convert existing JSON data to the new format. For the moment, it will save data in both the new format and the old JSON format, preferring the former when loading data from storage. I have been running my own home with this new format for several months, and have no issues with data loss or corruption. A few other things to know: If you are not already backing up your storage directory, you should be. At a minimum, back this directory up every time you make big changes to your Rules, Reactions, etc. Your existing JSON-format backups will continue to be readable for the long-term (years). The code that loads data from these files looks for the new file format first (which will have a .dval suffix), and if not found, will happily read (and convert) a same-basenamed .json file (i.e. it looks for ruleid.dval first, and if it doesn't find it, it tries to load ruleid.json). I'll publish detailed instructions for restoring from old backups when the build is posted (it's easy). The new .dval files are not directly human-readable or editable as easily as the old .json files. A new utility will be provided in the tools directory to convert .dval data to .json format, which you can then read or edit if you find that necessary. However, that may not work for all future data, as my intent is to make more native JavaScript objects directly storable, and many of those objects cannot be stored in JSON. You may need to modify your backup tools/scripts to pick up the new files: if you explicitly name .json files (rather than just specifying the entire storage directory) in your backup configuration, you will need to add .dval files to get a complete, accurate backup. I don't think this will be an issue for any of you; I imagine that you're all just backing up the entire contents of storage regardless of format/name, that is the safest (and IMO most correct) way to go (if that's not what you're doing, consider changing your approach). The current code stores the data in both the .dval form and the .json form to hedge against any real-world problems I don't encounter in my own use. Some future build will drop this redundancy (i.e. save only to .dval form). However, the read code for the .json form will remain in any case. This applies only to persistent storage that Reactor creates and controls under the storage tree. All other JSON data files (e.g. device data for Controllers) are unaffected by this change and will remain in that form. YAML files are also unaffected by this change. This thread is open for any questions or concerns.

Possible feature request 2?
CatmanV2C
Just another thought. Adding devices from my Home Assistant / Zigbee2MQTT integration. Works perfectly but they always add as their IEEE address. Some of these devices have up to 10 entities associated, and the moment they are renamed to something sensible, each of those entities 'ceases to exist' in MSR. I like things tidy, and deleting each defunct entity needs 3 clicks. Any chance of a 'bulk delete' option? No biggy as I've pretty much finished my Z-wave migration and I don't expect to be adding more than 2 new Zigbee devices Cheers C

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.

Copying a global reaction

With build 25328, if you copy a global reaction, a new reaction does not appear in the UI unless you do a refresh. I recall this used to work without needing this page refresh? Anyway, only a minor nuisance.

Difficulty defining repeating annual period
R
I have tried numerous ways to define a recurring annual period, for example from December 15 to January 15. No matter which method I try - after and before, between, after and/not after, Reactor reports "waiting for invalid date, invalid date. Some constructs also seem to cause Reactor to hang, timeout and restart. For example "before January 15 is evaluated as true, but reports "waiting for invalid date, invalid date". Does anyone have a tried and true method to define a recurring annual period? I think the "between" that I used successfully in the past may have broken with one of the updates.

Need help with sequence
T
Good evening all, For about the past week or so, I've been having problems with a specific rule in my home automation that controls when my home goes from an Away mode to Home mode. One of the conditions it checked for was my alarm panel, when it changed from Armed Away to Disarmed. There seems to have been a firmware update on the panel that added an intermittent step of "pending", and I can't say for certain it happens 100% of the time. Is there a way to write a condition that so it changes from one condition, to the next, and then another condition? As in, Home alarm changes from armed_away to pending to disarmed. Thanks.

Possible feature request?
CatmanV2C
No idea how easy this would be. During my migration away from Z-wave I've been replacing the Z-wave devices with Sonoff which has broken some of my automations. Any chance of a 'Test Reaction' function to call out which ones are broken because an entity no longer exists? Without actually running the reaction? Or does this exist already and I'm just not aware of how to do it? Obviously I can see entities that are no longer available, but not quite what I'm looking for. I guess it's something of an edge case so no huge issue. TIA! C

Reset a delay
CatmanV2C
I'm sure this has been asked, and answered, but damned if I can figure it out Use case: I have a rear garden with lights. A door from the kitchen into the garden and a door from the garage. Currently if I open the kitchen door the lights come on (yay) and a 3 minute delay starts. After 3 minutes, no matter what else happens, the lights go off (Boo! But also yay!) What I would like is for the 3 minute delay until the lights go off to start from the latest door open event. That is, if I'm going from kitchen to garage, and back again, the lights stay on until there's three minutes of no activity. I've tried 'hacking' with a virtual switch, but can't seem to stop the delay. Any pointers? TIA C

    Okay, gotcha. I did verify that the cover.open using the zwavejscontroller entries does work on my system with the updated release. Curious that the cover.open command does not work using the equivalent haas entity.

          Yeah, a clean log would be good to review. In your logging.yaml, please add the following (if there's already a section for ZWaveJSController, just modify it to make it look like this):

            ZWaveJSController:
              level: 5
              streams:
                - type: file
                  name: zwavejs.log
                  keep: 2
                  level: 999
                  recycle: true
          

          Restart Reactor and run a test (or a few) of cover.open and cover.close and position.set. Then copy just the zwavejs.log file up together with your latest zwavejs_devices_initial.json to link I sent you earlier. Thank you!

            @toggledbits I actually had that logging enabled already and didn't realize/remember it.

            Scenarios tested:

            Test #1: 22-0 ~10:20 ET
            ZWJSC, cover.close
            Result: blind closed, "inside down"
            ZWJSC, cover.open
            Result: blind opened, position=50%
            Repeated, same results

            Test #2: 22-0
            ZWJSC, position.set = 0
            Result: blind closed, "inside up"
            ZWJSC, position.set = .5
            Result: blind opened, position=50%
            Repeated, same results

            Test #3: 22-0
            ZWJSC, cover.close
            Result: blind closed, "inside down"
            ZWJSC, cover.open
            Result: blind opened, position=50%
            Repeated, same results

            Unfortunately, everything WAI. Kinda frustrated at the moment. Same blind as last night's testing when nothing responded. Log being uploaded momentarily.

              @gwp1 ,
              Not to steal your thread, but out of curiosity, have you noticed any issues with battery life lately? I've noticed that a few of my iBlinds are draining very rapidly, ending in a unresponsive state. I've charged them, then less than a week later, they are dead and unresponsive.

              They all appear to be the older v2 iBlinds, so it could just be that the batteries are ending their useful life, however, it's also possible that the new configuration and command class is affecting them in some way. I'm gradually replacing them, as I've found the v3.1 iBlinds to be much more reliable. I haven't noticed this behavior in the v3.1 iBlinds.

              I'm just curious if you've seen this as well. If you are seeing it, it could be an issue with how ZWaveJS is communicating with the iBlinds due to this new roleout.

                @tamorgen Not entirely stealing or off-topic as that has played a role before in iblind responsiveness. I have solar panels on mine - 50/50 on how well they work. My blinds are all v3.1, btw, @toggledbits, just as a point of reference.

                I have found if ZWaveJS HA Plugin shows anything under 60% battery the blinds become unresponsive. A quick plug of the power cable and a tap of the ping button and the physical button on the blind itself and they come back.

                For this specific topic, all tested blinds are either plugged in or showing 100% battery.

                  @gwp1,
                  Thanks, I figured it couldn't hurt to ask someone else running HA to see if they were experiencing the same problems. I think it just might be old batteries.

                    @gwp1,
                    I'm working on trying to make something useful in the dashboards using this new device class, and it's not going well. I've reached out to iBlinds/Eric B for help. What we are both seeing as unknown/null states could be a problem.

                    There are three values that are null or unknown: cover.state, position.value, and then a repeat using the x_hass.state.
                    Capture4.PNG

                    When I go into Developer Tools in HA, the state is unknown as well. That makes sense since MSR has to grab it from somewhere.
                    Capture2.PNG I'm trying to work on my dashboard and display some useful information, and I'm unable to get the value of the attributes. I'm guessing that's because the State is unknown.
                    Capture5.PNG

                    Hopefully iBlinds can work with HA and ZWaveJS and get these values to show properly.

                      Yeah, logs confirm everything going out as expected, ZWJS acknowledging the request, and also sending a notification for a value change asynchronously. ZWaveJSController appears to be doing the right things. ZWaveJS appears to be doing its part as well.

                        @toggledbits I'm conducting an experiment.

                        DR2 blind (22-0) is configured as [Default] direction and using MSRs ZWJSController. I have set the three Reactions to:

                        DR OPEN: cover.open
                        DR CLOSE: cover.close
                        DR @25: position.set = .75 (resulting in the blind being tilted open 25%, "top inside").

                        All other iblinds are using HA's ZWJSC plugin and all ran flawlessly for the past 24 hours. I'm wondering if this issue is somehow load-induced. If this single blind remains solid I will add a second and so on.

                        UPDATE: as my patience level on any given day runs the gamut between saint and toddler I've added KITCHEN (18-0) to this test with the same settings as above excepting .80 instead of .75. Both of these iblinds were the most impacted in being unresponsive.

                          @toggledbits we have fail!

                          Added two more iblinds to the test. They failed to respond so I isolated one of them and did the following tests on node 8-0:

                          LR Left OPEN: cover.open
                          LR Left CLOSE: cover.close
                          LR Left @20: position.set = .80 (resulting in the blind being tilted open 20%, "top inside").

                          Results:
                          cover.open = iblind opens, position of 50
                          cover.close = iblind moves to position of 50 <---expected result, position 0
                          position.set = iblind moves to position of 80

                          As this Reaction was to run BOTH left and right blinds I removed the right blind and ran the left solo as the kitchen and DR are (both still working fine, btw). For reference, Kitchen was existing unit and was re-interviewed to be current, DR is a brand new unit. LR's are existing units re-interviewed.

                          Log forthcoming.

                            @gwp1, I just replaced 6 of my ib2 motors with ib3.1, and they are working just fine (12 of 14 are v3.1). I can control them from MSR with ZWJSController without issue.

                            My only issue is actually Home Assistant itself. I've had to go to great lengths to get a somewhat working card for each of the blinds in my home, and I'm still not completely there yet. I'm hoping either the ZWaveJS devlopers or the HA developers figure out whats going on with the 'state' value for each of these, as they all return 'unknown', so none of the cards work out of the box.

                                All of mine are like this, cover.close, cover.open.

                                Perform cover.close on Office Blind Left (zwavejs>30-0)
                                Delay for 5 seconds
                                Perform cover.close on Office Blind Right (zwavejs>31-0)
                                Delay for 5 seconds
                                Perform zwave_device.refresh on Office Blind Left (zwavejs>30-0)
                                Perform zwave_device.refresh on Office Blind Right (zwavejs>31-0)
                                

                                I'm not even sure the zwave.device.refresh is needed anymore. This was more of an issue when trying to force the old device class to refresh on both the binary switch and the multi-level switch, as they weren't directly connected and didn't update each other. It was one of the reasons that the folks at iBlinds were pushing to get the window device class implemented.

                                  @tamorgen I see you doing the delay as I do. How do you do a weekly config? (The blinds will "drift" if not config'd weekly or bi-weekly.

                                  I have removed the zwave_device.refresh to see how that goes.

                                  Question: you have a great number of blinds in your fleet as do I - how many blinds do you group together? I see you grouped two for your office blinds, do you have more than two at a time grouped in a single reaction? Or are you skipping reactions and adding each entity in each ruleset?

                                    I really don't have any sort of weekly config on mine. I haven't noticed mine drifting at all, but a weekly recalibrate wouldn't be a bad idea.

                                    I have rules for hourly refreshing the the cover, position, and switch positions that are now pretty much legacy of the old device class. I only have two of the IB2 devices left, and they're in non critical rooms ( guest bedroom and mudroom). I'll replace those later this year. Once those are gone, I'll be able to remove those three hourly rules.

                                    I have reactions set up for each set of windows in a room. Most rooms only have two windows, so I group those. The lone exception is my family room, where I have four windows, but on different walls. I have those set up on two separate reactions, which allows me to separately set the blinds to a partial open position when the sun is shining directly in. The largest events with the blinds are at sunrise, sunset, and when the house is vacant or someone arrives, when I'll set the reactions from the rule, and I have "Wait for completion" enabled after each call for a reaction. It takes a couple of minutes for all my blinds to open/close when it's called. I initially didn't do this, but iBlinds recommended not calling them all at once (thus the pause in between each call for a blind to open/close). For the most part, this has helped tremendously with the IB2 motors, although they still had their fair share of problems, which is why I've been replacing them all this year.

                                    I call the reactions from rulesets, so I don't have to reinvent the wheel each time I want to perform an action on a window. It also allows me to make an adjustment once and not 10 different times in different rules.

                                      @tamorgen we are very much aligned in our approach.

                                      • My office has four windows, one front-facing and three smaller side-facing. I group the three together.
                                      • My main room covers the single kitchen, single dining room, and two paired living room blinds.
                                      • My master bedroom has two paired together, the master bath a single that I do not group with the bedroom.
                                      • Guest rooms are single independents.

                                      I, too, do reactions for:

                                      • open (Day)
                                      • close (Evening/Night)
                                      • tilt (this is used for Away for all, also for "sun defer" as the sun moves around the house)

                                      I do reactions as well for the very same reason: single place to edit. I know @toggledbits will cringe but my "Open ALL" , "Tilt ALL", and "Close ALL" are reactions that contain the other room-specific reactions and are called by rulesets.

                                      I've increased my delays again back to 00:00:05 (was down to 00:00:02) just to see if that may help the initial issue that spawned this topic. I don't need to have all blinds close at once (sure, it would be cool) - it's still fun for guests when the actions start in the office at the front of the house and just file their way around until all are completed.

                                        @toggledbits we have fail!

                                        Added two more iblinds to the test. They failed to respond so I isolated one of them and did the following tests on node 8-0:

                                        LR Left OPEN: cover.open
                                        LR Left CLOSE: cover.close
                                        LR Left @20: position.set = .80 (resulting in the blind being tilted open 20%, "top inside").

                                        Results:
                                        cover.open = iblind opens, position of 50
                                        cover.close = iblind moves to position of 50 <---expected result, position 0
                                        position.set = iblind moves to position of 80

                                        As this Reaction was to run BOTH left and right blinds I removed the right blind and ran the left solo as the kitchen and DR are (both still working fine, btw). For reference, Kitchen was existing unit and was re-interviewed to be current, DR is a brand new unit. LR's are existing units re-interviewed.

                                        Log forthcoming.

                                        Log forthcoming.

                                        Looked at the log. ZWaveJSController is consistently, correctly issuing the right commands and values for all actions in every case. ZWaveJS is responding with a successful acknowledgement of the command, and later passing an update notification with the node's position having a value consistent with the command previously given in every case. It appears that ZWaveJS understands what MSR is asking it to do, sending that to the device, and the device is sending back updates indicating it has done what has been asked. If that's not what the device actually does, then I assert it's firmware or hardware issue with the device.

                                        The log contains errors for an attempt to refresh (using the zwave_device.refresh action) non-existent node 7 (that is, ZWaveJS reports that the node doesn't exist; the entity may still exist as a zombie). That has no effect operationally, just bringing to your attention that after excluding/including devices, you may have missed a now-dead entity.

                                          @toggledbits Node 7-0 has cleaned itself up in MSR (it was cleared out in HA's ZWJSC). I got the same from the logs, was hoping you would see something I missed.

                                          The firmware is on the latest. I'll doublecheck the firmware on the ZWave Stick that runs these from HA. Thanks @toggledbits, as usual.

                                          Updating this thread to [SOLVED] as whatever the issue may be it's not MSR's.
