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.
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.
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!

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

Seeing this randomly when returning to open browser tab after being away awhile. Once, maybe twice a day.
"What did you do to trigger it?" Literally nothing, just walked away and returned and there it was.
Actions taken in reasonably close proximity to this particular instance of it popping up: I'd restarted the MSR container in Portainer.
I'll try to grab some logs here shortly.
I'm having an issue with MSR's UI being very unresponsive. It started happening a couple days ago and I didn't make any changes that would have caused this except adding some meross lan devices in HA. When I go into an entity action and use the search functionality, it usually will start filtering and then get to a place after a few letters are entered where it will take 30 seconds or more (sometimes minutes) for the UI to show what I am typing. During this time MSR ui is completely unresponsive. I've tried multiple browsers and multiple computers. HA and MSR are both deployed in docker. I have run HTOP on the host and when the problem happens there are no CPU/Memory spikes at all.
From a functionality standpoint MSR is working perfectly. This seems to be an UI issue only.
Do i need to ditch Docker and run MSR on a Proxmox VM? I have both stand alone Docker and Proxmox environments. I dont mind doing that I just want to be able to use the UI again...
Installation method
Home Assistant Container
Core
2025.7.3
Frontend
20250702.3
nothing crazy in the logs except some openweather map stuff that doesn't make any sense as it is working fine in MSR
Any help would be greatly appreciated

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.
[Solved] alarm() in global expression throws error in log.

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.

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)?
-
Yes, please reproduce. Level 4 is fine. You can also set
gvar_debug: truein theengineconfig section -- that will be verbose but a lot less verbose than level 5. -
