Gradually turn on lights.

Also I have seen this saving problem on more than just one rule.

I've seen in on a few rules when either adding items like additional triggers or removing items.

Then you cannot click either of the two save buttons.

Only the red exit w/o saving button works.

It doesn't matter who is reporting the issue if I can't reproduce it myself without more information. One of the bugs you are connecting to this was entered by me days ago and was reproduced, found and fixed. The other is from a user on a mobile/Android browser which is currently not supported. I don't know how many people are using this thing right now, but you are the only one reporting no save conditions in the absence of an error indication on any field.

I have been able to possibly reproduce your saving issue. I have noticed with rules that have a Date/Time After Trigger cannot be modified and saved.

It's 2 29 am here now this rule just fired and turned on my lounge lamps.

[cw-kid]

Actually any time I manually turn off the lounge lamps via my Harmony remote it's now firing the MSR rule and turning them back on.

[cw-kid]

@toggledbits as I said your welcome to connect to my laptop and edit the rules for yourself and press a save button to see what happens.

[cw-kid]

I was also the one who had issues saving PLEG changes many years ago and Richard eventually got to the bottom of it and managed to sort out the issue.

Maybe I have bad luck, but I cannot currently save any MSR rules I modify by adding new triggers or deleting them.

I am only reporting what I am seeing.

I think there might be something going on with sunrise/sunset too. Im pretty sure sunset was 90 minutes late triggering for me. Im doing some more testing on that though to confirm.

If your rule is the same as posted above, this is because you have a condition in the rule for the lamp being false, meaning the rule will be false when the lamp is on and then when it goes off, it becomes true again.

I'm not saying my rule is correct.

It most likely isn't

I wanted to include a check that the turn on lamps rule is only run if the lamps are off in the first place.

If the lamps are already on then there's no need to have the rule action run.

So if I've set it up wrong what is the best way to handle this

I am a Reactor newbie..

Thanks.

You need to use the constraints. These are new and Im not exactly positive on the answer at this time but I think you would check if the lights are off in the constraint.

[cw-kid]

OK thanks. I was advised not to use Contraints whilst learning MSR.

Seems I have a learning curve to get over and I apologise for being a pain in the arse for the next few months to everyone in this forum..

Stop thinking PLEG......It will only frustrate you especially if you are trying to test the status of a device.
I'm not sure if you can actually do it as you would in PLEG, yes, I know it's frustrating but to move forward you need to unlearn what you already know.

Make sure you upgrade to 21050 if you haven't already.

[cw-kid]

I have the same issue using a different web browser Microsoft Edge. I added a new trigger to an existing rule and the save buttons aren't clickable.

Are there any instructions on how to upgrade to the new version of Reactor for Raspberry Pi ?

Thank you

I've found the update instructions trying it now.

@cw-kid

Installation - Reactor - Multi-Hub Automation

[cw-kid]

I'm stuck on the part that says restart reactor. How do I do that ?

[Elcid]

"node app.js" - if still in trial mode
or
"nohup ./app.sh &" - if running under script

[cw-kid]

I've messed it up, looks like I have the new reactor installation within the old one, as I now have two reactor folders.

I guess I'll delete the reactor sub-folder and try it again.

The date stamps are yesterday though.

[Elcid]

Yes you want to be in the folder that holds the reactor folder (documents), when you tar xzvf.... . I found the instructions confusing to.

[cw-kid]

Is this command wrong then ? The tar.gz file is located in the /Documents folder.

cd /home/pi/Documents/reactor
tar xzvf /home/pi/Documents/reactor-0.1-21050-f5e9257.tar.gz
