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.

[MSR] Copy&past of actions and/or drag&drop between set/reset
therealdbT
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!

Upgrade advice - upgrade from aarch64 to ARM64 image
T
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) # # Change the lines indicated by "DO"... # services: reactor: container_name: reactor environment: # DO change the TZ: line to set your local time zone. # See valid TZ list: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_database_time_zones TZ: GB # # DO NOT change this path. Your directory location is in "source" below. REACTOR_DATA_PREFIX: /var/reactor # DO change the image below to the one you are using (e.g. armv7l or aarch64 for RPi 4) image: toggledbits/reactor:latest-aarch64 restart: "always" expose: - 8111 ports: - 8111:8111 volumes: # DO change the /home/username/reactor below to the directory you created for # your local data; DO NOT change the /var/reactor part - /home/pi/docker/reactor:/var/reactor - /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro tmpfs: /tmp

Deprecation Announcement: 32-bit ARM *docker* images
toggledbitsT
If you are using the armv7l docker image, the OpenJS Foundation that publishes node is no longer producing 32-bit builds as of v24. That means the last supported LTS version of node for armv7l is v22, which will go End-of-Life in May 2027. Therefore, the Reactor armv7l image is now deprecated and will only be produced until node v22 goes EOL, and I will not publish armv7l images beyond that date. If you are running an RPi 3 or earlier with Reactor, you are on this image, and will need to upgrade hardware to a 64-bit model and use the arm64 image. If you need help getting it done, ask in this category.

http request action & digest auth
tunnusT
I’m using the HTTP Request action in MSR and need to authenticate against an endpoint that uses HTTP Digest authentication. Now that endpoint was changed to use SHA-256 in digest auth, so I would like to know if MSR supports it, or is it limited to MD5-based digest auth?

Integrations and 'Loaded'
CatmanV2C
Thanks again for the recent release. One thing I wanted to ask about integrations and their 'loaded' condition: Is there something similar that applies to the entire controller? So if I have (for example) a helper in HA that is used to trigger an automation in MSR, is it possible to effectively exclude it until MSR is 'happy' that HA is stable and its values can be trusted? This, actually goes back to the issue I had. I've got a use case where a 30 second delay from triggering is a bit of a PITA (sustained for...) and was just wondering if there's a way of knowing that 'native' HA functions are working correctly. Probably asking wrong, or it's hideously obvious, but... TIA C

Possible mismatch between binary_sensor in HA and MSR
CatmanV2C
Hi. First off this is an unsupported version of HS 2026.5.2 so happy to be told it's that. Currently running latest-26130-3d2a489a on a Debian Buster bare metal VM. I've been working on moving away from OpenLuup completely and up until now have been using some virtual switches t manage things like 'Is there anyone home' I have a binary sensor in HA that provides the same thing binary_sensor.someone_home which appears in MSR as hass>binary_sensor_someone_home HA shows on or off. MSR shows true or false All fine. The odd thing happened after an update of HA and a restart. From HA 13:07:04 it turned off 13:07:11 it turned on However that does not appear to have been reflected in MSR which turned all the heating and so on off as it is supposed to do, and I got all my notifications as I should. Here's a huge log section (sorry) as I wanted to show how MSR identifies that HA is up and running at 12:07:08 (Zulu) but triggers the 'There's no one here' at 12:07:17 some 6 seconds after HA updated to on. Checking in the interface MSR said the status was 'False' while HA stated 'On'

    I'm testing the new alarm() function but I can't get it to do what I expect.
    alarm.PNG This does not re-evaluate the expression and an error is logged on first run and when run manually:

    Nothing related before or after in the log. I've tried with existing variables but same behavior and log entry when saved or run manually, latest-25310

    EDIT: Bare Metal install and what I expect is the timestamp to update every 5 seconds.

      OK. I respun buld 25310. Pull the new zip and give it another go.

        You're fast! It's now behaving as expected (even though it's logged as CRIT? but that's your court so you set the rules 🙂 )

          Just debug elevated. Next build it will be quiet.

              I'm still having some (other) issues...
              First a question, is do...done in a Global expression considered out of scope to the function? because when alarm() is put in the statement block it shows error. When alarm() is put before the statement block it seems to be working a bit inconsistent, probably related to the observations further down.
              dodone.PNG dodone_ok.PNG dodone_error.PNG

              Another issue. I cleared the alarmTest, restarted Reactor, hard refreshed browser and put

              alarm(5),
getEntity( "reactor_system>system" ).attributes.reactor_system.reactor_uptime

              All good and now there's no error (and no statement block) but when I changed alarm(5) to alarm(10) and saved, on first tick, an error is logged and a minor misleading tick at 5000ms lingers but the + delay says 10000ms as expected. This error happens every time I change anything in the expression.

                    Can you show me an alarm tick message?

                      Yes, if I lower the tick to 2000ms it's logged (different from before)

                        Odd. I'm not able to duplicate this, and there's a message missing from the log that I would expect to see in conjunction with the other messages. Can you re-apply the build and restart, and try again?

                          I downloaded it again, re-applied and restarted.
                          Changed entity to eliminate any issues with my x_mqtt entity but same behavior and this is whats logged at Engine level 4

                          Tried Engine log level 5 but was to much for me to handle 🙂 I tested the same expression in a new variable but it produced the same error.
                          No related errors in the startup sequence of the log either.

                            Can you show the log starting with "expression alarmTest has changed" (context before the error message)?

                              Unfortunately that's long gone by testing level 5 but before that the expression was the simple string "hello" so there were only rule related log entries before it. I can reproduce it if you want though...

                                Yes, please reproduce. Level 4 is fine. You can also set gvar_debug: true in the engine config section -- that will be verbose but a lot less verbose than level 5.
