Can you run MSR on Home Assistant OS ?
cw-kidC
Looking at using Home Assistant for the first time, either on a Home Assistant Green, their own hardware or buying a cheap second hand mini PC. Sounds like Home Assistant OS is linux based using Docker for HA etc. Would I also be able to install things like MSR as well on their OS ? On the same box? Thanks.

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

    I should also note that I compared/verified in HAAS/Zwave-JS the entity numbers are correct and correspond with what is in MSR.

      OK. Everything checks out there. I would upgrade to the latest ZWaveJSController -- it looks like you are a release behind. That version added logging for what is actually sent to ZWaveJS, which may be instructive. But restarting for that update and rebuilding the state data may resolve the issue (you've probably done the former, I assume, but the latter is less obvious), so we're changing the conditions of the test. But let's see what happens when you upgrade, and then see what the log entries look like if the behavior is the same, because it sure looks like ZWaveJSController has it correct.

          Never mind. It's says it does not in your documentation. 😃

          I updated to v25304 and restarted Reactor. I'll run some tests now.

            Alright, it still seems to be doing the same thing. I'm tailing the zwavejs log, and pressing the button for the Set Reaction. I see it pushing the command for 137-0, however, the soffit lights (136-0) are coming on.

            I also see the results of turning off the device from HAAS in the ZWaveJS logs.

            Here are the entries for the devices in HAAS from ZwaveJS-UI

            I've also creating an attirbutes text file for 136-0. Maybe something is funky in that entry.

                I also just noticed that if I performed an action from the Entities page in MSR fr 137-0, it's turning on 136-0 in HAAS. If I turn on 136-0 through entities, it's turning on 137-0 in HAAS. It would appear these devices are somehow switching actions, despite everything showing what they are.

                  Here are some logs of me turning the entities on and off from HAAS.

                  Here are some logs of me turning the entities on and off from HAAS.

                  You've shown here all stuff from ZWaveController, not HassController...? I don't think that would be helpful here anyway, because it would only show the HA entity IDs, and HA doesn't embed ZWave node numbers in their entity names. You would have to go look at the device in HA to confirm the node numbers. In HA's UI, go to Settings > Integrations > ZWave > Devices. Find the device you think is your Front Porch Lights switch, and click it. In the Device Info area, there's a Z-Wave Info heading with an arrow — click the arrow to expose the node number.

                  You said you updated ZWaveJSController, but it's still not showing me the expected log data. Can you confirm that in the startup messages for Reactor, ZWaveJSController reports it is version as 25304. If not, your update was not successful.

                  You can also go back to the ZWave-jS UI and command node 137 on from there, and see which device ZWave-JS switches. If it's the same device that Reactor switches, your Z-Wave nodes or HA devices are incorrectly identified.

                  What is clear in the Reactor logs so far is that ZWave node 137 is being told to do something, and ZWave node 137 responds back that it received the command its values changed. Nowhere along the way do the logs mention 136. If there was something wrong with what ZWaveJSController was commanding ZWaveJS to do, I would expect it log that it was performing an action on 137, but then gets update reports from 136, and that's not what is happening. I can also see in your Z-Wave data that node 137 is named "Front Porch Lights" at the node itself, which is consistent with the Reactor entity name, so Reactor/ZWaveJSController thinks it is doing the right thing.

                  I would start looking at the root, which is the ZWaveJS-UI, and make sure that node 137 is really your porch lights and you can command them on and off from there. If that's not the case, change the device name in Z-WaveJS UI, and then make sure the names in both HA and Reactor for nodes 136 and 137 match that data. Right now, it appears they do not.

                    Yes, it shows up as 0.1.25304

                    472fe4fb-680e-4559-9dea-659c4d7dbc52-image.png

                    So, you seemed to have hit it. There is a disagreement in the names in the Z-wave JS integration and the Z-Wave JS UI naming. I'm not sure how or when that happened, since I haven't touched the naming of these in at least 2 years.

                    The device that is 136 is truly the Front Porch Sconces. Everywhere in the HA dashboards when I click on the binary switch, it does turn it on. Same with 137 being the Soffit Lights.

                    It would seem it's getting the names from the ZwaveJS UI values, since they seemed to be off. I've gone ahead and renamed them in ZwaveJS UI to reflect the values in ZwaveJS. How do I get ZWaveJSController to update the names? They still show up as the incorrect name. I went ahead and restarted MSR, and the old naming is till persistent.

                      Reactor only changes the entity name when the entity is first created. From there on, it sticks, no matter what the underlying hub does. To change the name, hit the "Rename" button on the entity in the detail pane (see your latest screen shots).

                      Also future note. When posting log snippets, please don't use grep or other filtering. Find the lines of interest, and post 20-25 of context before and as much context after as is relevant. Not all relevant log messages may contain the string you are searching for.

                        Thank you. Perhaps the non-updating of the name was the root cause of my issue all along.
