Hi, @toggledbits!
I have a question about the execution behavior. See the code below, and I'll explain the situation.
12957c3e-ff06-46c9-929d-b53f936665df-image.png
This is a routine that, at a certain point, determines that the desktop on which the VM hosting the Reactor is located receives an instruction to perform a shutdown (Shell Command).
When this happens, the desktop is turned off, and then Hubitat detects by a "ping" that the VM has been down, waits 15 seconds, turns off the power to this desktop, and then 15 seconds later turns on the desktop with the Reactor VM again.
After restarting the desktop, the VM is loaded, and the Reactor is triggered. Still, the following problem occurs: I expected that when the rule was continued to be executed again, the next step would be executed, that of the 900-second delay after shutdown, but the Shell command is executed again, and then it goes into a loop, the rule does not advance.
To break the loop, I first have to make the VM not load, change the desktop password, and then start the VM. In this case, Reactor generates an error when trying to execute the Shell Command because of the invalid password and then finishes the routine following the 900 delay step.
b58b0d4a-d6c1-4fe3-bab7-4222acea9607-image.png
Is my interpretation that when it returns, the routine should continue to the next step that has not yet been executed incorrectly? Or does Reactor, through the shutdown command, interpret that it hasn't finished this step and keep trying, which is the correct reaction?
Thanks for clarifying.
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.Hi @toggledbits ,
I'm slowly moving my ZWave network from Vera to ZWaveJS. I successfully cloned my ZWave network using a spare Vera Edge (a new post for the community later when I'll be fully back from vacation) and I'm testing a couple of things before moving everything to ZWaveJS.
In the meanwhile, I have a couple of venetian blinds connected to Fibaro Roller Shutters 2 (FGR222) and I'm using some proprietary ZWave commands to control the tilt position, that right now I'm sending via Vera (with some code from the old place, messing with this):
af7f883c-f49e-419c-a2fe-8669572e3792-image.png
The ZWaveJS values are reported via this:
x_zwave_values.Manufacturer_Proprietary_fibaro_venetianBlindsPosition=0 x_zwave_values.Manufacturer_Proprietary_fibaro_venetianBlindsTilt=0I hope there's a way to expose a separate device to control the tilt position directly, without doing the mess I'm doing now. Let me know if you need some files. Thanks.
As per @toggledbits request, new topic.

Good morning,
I have a service MQTT service that needs a restart occasionally. The add-on (Smartbed MQTT) is for the smart bed base for my bed. It has a "safety light" that I can control from HAAS & MSR as a light entity, and also moves the head of the bed to a preset at bedtime, and then lies it back flat in the morning The problem is, from time to time, the light becomes "unavailable" Restarting from the Add-ons tab in HAAS always fixes it, but I should be able to detect when it happens when "light.tempur_pedic_safety_lights" is not true or false, i.e., unavailable.
What I don't know how to do is how to restart that service. Does anybody have experience in restarting add-ons from MSR?

RPi5-64 (8GB) Core 2024.7.3 Supervisor 2024.08.0 Operating System 13.0 Frontend 20240710.0Hi-
I have an android media player entity publishing from HA. I watch for changes in transport state and media title to trigger some actions.
Though those attributes report as expected, the set rule is being throttled for possible flapping.
There is an attribute for media position that continually updates, I suspect it is causing the evaluations to run constantly.
The workaround I am seeking is to ignore those attributes in HA or MSR. Anyone know how, or have a better idea??
Thx
Btw- this problem has spanned versions of HA and reactor, but I am current on both. Too current on HA for transparency, but the issue has survived several updates.
Referencing an expression inside a reaction is in the form of ${{ expression }}. When referenced inside my shell command to set the watering delay duration for my Rachio sprinkler system, it just does not work.
If I enter "86400" instead of referencing the expression lWateringDelayDuration, it works. Either I am doing something wrong or referencing an expression inside a shell command is not supported.

As per @toggledbits request, here's a new topic.
My Fibaro Door Window Sensor 2 (FGDW002) is always reporting as open, even if
x_zwave_values.Notification_Access_Control_Door_state=23 x_zwave_values.Notification_Access_Control_Door_state_simple=23which means that the door is closed. It was working before and I could downgrade to test, if necessary. Thanks.
Hi @toggledbits,
I'm not sure if it's a bug or something, but I have a lot of Fibaro Double Switch (FGS223) as follows.
In the example, it's zwavejs>65-2:
energy_sensor.units="kWh" energy_sensor.value=0.21 power_sensor.units="W" power_sensor.value=0 power_switch.state=false x_debug.dt={"entity_class":"Switch","match":"deviceClass.generic.key=16","capabilities":["power_switch","toggle"],"primary_attribute":"power_switch.state"} x_zwave_values.Binary_Switch_currentValue=false x_zwave_values.Binary_Switch_targetValue=false x_zwave_values.Meter_reset=null x_zwave_values.Meter_value_65537=0.21 x_zwave_values.Meter_value_66049=0 zwave_device.capabilities=[37,50] zwave_device.endpoint=2 zwave_device.failed=null zwave_device.impl_sig="23326:1:22315:1" zwave_device.manufacturer_info=null zwave_device.node_id=65 zwave_device.version_info=nullWhen operating endpoint 2, it's triggered endpoint 1. Endpoint 1 is fine. This is causing a lot of troubles, as you may imagine.
Also, endpoint 0 is not really a switch, and the associated actions are not doing anything at all. Maybe these could be removed. Also, I see battery_maintenance and power_source capabilities, all with null values.

Good morning,
I'm having an issue with controlling my Zooz Zen14 outdoor double outlet. I should be able to control each outlet individually, and this does work when use Home Assistant (haas) from Reactor.
When I use zwavejs, I see 3 entries:
8305eccf-a99e-421f-ad18-1f08da9c8c9c-image.png
The first entry is for the overall device. I can turn both outlets on and off (in theory) by setting the power_switch state to on or off. This does turn them on and off when using zwavejs.
When I go to the individual outlets, performing the power_switch.on or power_switch.off actions turns them all (main, 1 and 2) on or off, and not just the individual outlets. When I perform the same action from haas, turning on outlet 1 will turn on the main switch and 1, but not 2.
I reviewed the logs for that node and I'm not seeing anything obvious.

I think this feature request could be accomplished with the use of two or more rules, but it would be great if there was a way to wait for an event or trigger to occur before continuing on in the reactions.
For example, I have a rule that will turn on some exterior lights if you arrive home after the porch lights have been turned off. Right now this rule randomly will turn off between 5-10 minutes after the person has entered the geofence. On some occasions this 5-10 minutes isn't long enough, say if you are unloading the car or something. I would like to kick off the reaction, but pause it part way through and wait for the door to close and lock, then continue it on. Hubitat Rule Machine has a "Wait for event" option, but I really want to keep all my logic within MSR.
Hi,
Running the latest version 24212 on docker.
I want to run some appliances when my solar panels deliver over 1200 watts to the net. In this example the dryer. So when the dryer is turned on, the rule starts (SET). There first is a 3 min delay in case the dryer is turned on manually, that is group "Check if auto start is needed". If the dryer is not running, the status is set to waiting, and the shown Repeat Until should wait as long the power delivered is higher than -1200 for at least 120 seconds and the status is still waiting. Higher as the value is negative. For some reason that repeat until "DR Wait for solar high or manual start" looks skipped. Nothing in the logs. What am I missing?
Reactor Automation.png (g_DryerStatus should have been "waiting" and not "running" the moment the log was captured, so that should not be the issue. Unless it takes some time for a variable to actually change?)
Cheers Rene
I have got some warnings i reactor that a rule is throttled because it update rate is over 120/minute, happens now and when with a week or two in between.
The rule monitors my house power consumption when charging my car, and if if consumption risks to kill a main fuse, it stops the charging.
Thought I was clever when I in Constraints added that my car should be located at home and charging is active, but apparantly it wasn't clever enough...
I had understand it that if Constraints isn't true, then the triggers isn't evaluated.
I have a Shelly 3EM meter that measure three channel/phases and updates every second. So just for this three channels it is 180 updates per minute...
And now when I start to take a closer look I can se in my logs that this rule is evaluated with every value change on any of the three phases...
So ~11MB of logs only goes back in time around 16 hours...🙀
So what is the best solution?
Should move my "Constraints" in an new trigger group, before my existing triggers?
Rule as it is now

Hi!
I'm wondering if it's possible now, or if it's something that can be solved in a future version, to be able to remove the entities that no longer exist and are crossed out all at once. Currently, you have to mark them one by one, which takes a lot of time. Is there any way to make this more efficient?
I'm on MSR version 24212-3ce15e25.
Thanks!

I'm slowly migrating all my stuff to MQTT under MSR, so I have a central place to integrate everything (and, in a not-so-distant future, to remove virtual devices from my Vera and leave it running zwave only).
Anyway, here's my reactor-mqtt-contrib package:

Contrib MQTT templates for Reactor. Contribute to dbochicchio/reactor-mqtt-contrib development by creating an account on GitHub.
Simply download yaml files (everything or just the ones you need) and you're good to go.
I have mapped my most useful devices, but I'll add others soon. Feel free to ask for specific templates, since I've worked a lot in the last weeks to understand and operate them.
The templates are supporting both init and query, so you have always up-to-date devices at startup, and the ability to poll them. Online status is supported as well, so you can get disconnected devices with a simple expression.
Many-many thanks to @toggledbits for its dedication, support, and patience with me and my requests 🙂
Good morning,
I'm trying to figure out if there is a way to evaluate if a command was completed and retry if it did not complete.
I have 14 iBlinds 3.1 z-wave controllers in my home. 95% of the time, they work just fine. Occasionally, I'll get a blind that does not open on the first attempt. When I go into Home Assistant, and manually open or close the blind, it works.
I have 3 reactions set up for each room. One to open, one to close, and one partial open for sun glare. Each of them is set up as below.

The reactions are set up to wait for 5 seconds before going onto the next blind, so the z-wave network doesn't get overwhelmed.
In addition, the set command to run the reactions has "Wait for completion" checked.

I also have a routine set up whenever a z-wave device reports as non-functional (dead), it'll get pinged to wake it up. This usually works to wake them up.

Appreciate any ideas to make this more reliable.

Hi
In some of my PLEG actions I run Lua code.
I guess I can't do that now with MSR. Assume I have to create a Vera scene with that same LUA code and have the MSR action call that scene etc.
What about the people who were using Reactor plugin for Vera? I assume they can run Lua code.
But won't be able to when using MSR on a separate box to Vera.
I am also seeing other things I am doing in PLEG but don't think I will be able to on MSR? Like monitoring devices for certain things.
For example I use PLEG with Fibaro Dimmer 2 modules to enable me to use the Scene Activation for double and triple clicks on the actual wall switches, PLEG sees this happening and then my action can run a Vera scene or whatever else I want.
I have three "Device Properties" setup in PLEG to monitor those aspects of the Fibaro Dimmer 2 device.
Then this condition in PLEG:
(LoungeSceneActivated;LoungeLastSceneTime) and (LoungeLastSceneID == 14)
Runs an action when I double click the Lounge Light wall switch.
Thanks

Another example of something I am doing in PLEG and not sure if I can do this in MSR?
I have two side table lamps in my lounge.
I have a virtual device dimmer switch in Vera.
In PLEG I have a "Device Property" to monitor the current Dimming Level of the virtual device dimmer switch
My PLEG condition just references the device property "LoungeLampsMaster"
And in my PLEG action I added the two real lamp devices
And set their loadleveltarget to be whatever the virtual device "Master" dimmer is, by using this in the newLoadLevelTarget
{(LoungeLampsMaster)}
Can something like this be setup in MSR ?

@therealdb said in Running Lua Code ? And watching device properties?:
Another route is to use RunScene and write the code in your scene
That I understand
@therealdb said in Running Lua Code ? And watching device properties?:
I run dynamic code via RunLua action. So, I have a function on a lib imported at startup and I’m sending values this way
This I don't understand, you might as well be talking in Greek.
Where are these "RunScene" and "RunLua" actions ?
I only see these in the Set Reaction area.
-
Thanks Ian I can see that now its listing all my Vera scenes so that's easy enough to have your Reaction run a Vera scene and then in turn any Lua Code that scene may contain.
I'm interested to hear more about what TheRealDB mentioned regarding a RunLua action.
-
@elcid said in Running Lua Code ? And watching device properties?:
To RunLua you would need reactor on the vera. you could then call it from MSR
Yep that also make sense. Is that what TheRealDB was referring too ?
@elcid said in Running Lua Code ? And watching device properties?:
Also the {{variable or luaxp}} works in reactor
I don't know what this means.
-
{variable} - refers to expression variable.
you can set dynamic names in input fields and you can also use luaxpThis reactor page explains more https://www.toggledbits.com/static/reactor/docs/3.6/Expressions-%26-Variables/#luaxp-built-in-functions
This will probably be available in MSR to.

You can monitor the dimming level of a dimmer using an Entity Attribute condition and checking
dimming.level
for the dimmable entity. You can easily do a "master-slave" (or Submasters !) style of dimming mirroring in MSR.I'm still working on the scene controller device mapping. Please remember that this is a developer preview, first time this code has run outside of my hands, and is expected to be incomplete. It's not a finished product at this point and isn't intended to be. If you're using it with that eye, you may want to wait a couple of months.
You can run scenes from MSR on the Vera using an Entity Action. Each scene has a corresponding
script
entity in MSR, with ascript.run
action available.And of course, the XY-Problem aspect of this... if you tell us what you think you need to run in Lua, there's a chance there may actually be a way to do it without Lua, or its something reasonable to consider as a regular feature addition to MSR, Vera Reactor, or both.
-
@cw-kid you can run lua code via http call. Just compose a call like this
Ie, if you have a function named doSomething in your startup code, accepting two values, just call this endpoint
I’m using it to concatenate multiple actions in one http call, while still maintaining flexibility.
-
Thanks guys for the information.
Yes I admit I need to keep remembering things might not be implemented yet.
But as I have never used Reactor plugin for Vera, I have nothing to compare MSR against other than PLEG.
I don't know what is currently possible in the Reactor plugin for Vera etc which isn't helping me when looking at MSR.
I am moving my more simple PLEG actions over to MSR now and have already disabled several PLEG conditions on the Vera box.
Schedules in MSR I am still testing and struggling with a bit, so I only have two moved over to MSR currently and one isn't running at all and one ran this morning but later than I expected it to do so.
I have some pretty long LUA scrips in PLEG for some stuff, I don't think I could do it easily without using LUA code.
Are there any examples of a Master Slave dimmer setup which I can follow ?
Cheers.
-
@therealdb said in Running Lua Code ? And watching device properties?:
you can run lua code via http call
OK that's a clever idea.
So the LUA code is stored where? In a function in the Vera startup right. And then you are just calling it to run via a HTTP request from MSR.

This is how it will go:
That said, this won't work today, because I haven't yet connected the expressions to the action parameters (the
{master_level}
value in the dimming action won't work yet). That's coming, but not yet. You can, however, do exactly this in Vera Reactor to see how it works. It will work the same way in MSR.Edit... let me explain how it works (on both Vera Reactor and MSR):
The expression keeps the current value of the master dimmer. So on my system,
vera>device_105
is named "Virtual Dimmer 18". The trigger condition looks for any change in the dimming level of that dimmer. When it changes, the set reaction sets the current value (from the expressionmaster_level
) on the slave dimmer "Virtual Dimmer 20". Bob's your uncle. -
@toggledbits What you just explained makes perfect sense.
However I would not have had a clue how to correctly construct that expression with the correct syntax.
I think I have mine setup correctly now.
I understand it wont actually work yet though.

Right, so I think this is a big issue in your case. My intent with this developer preview was to have experienced Reactor users help me test MSR. You're in the tough spot of coming from PLEG, with no prior Reactor experience, so not only do you not know the current product, but you also don't know if what you're looking at in the new product is right or wrong, same or different. That makes it palpably frustrating for you, and frankly for me as well, because you are not at the level I set for this test. I suspect you're also a bit irritated at having to do this at all, since Richard seems to have abandoned his product years ago (as evidenced by his near-total absence in the forums, the maturity of his product notwithstanding), and the prospect that no PLEG for eZLO seems to be in the works that I've heard.
None of that matters, at least to me, and I appreciate the effort you're putting in, and you're finding bugs and helping, so all is cool in my book, but for the fact that I feel like you're sometimes losing your perspective and treating this as if it's finished and shipped. This is a developer preview, and again, it's known to be incomplete, and its intended audience was existing Reactor users. Those users would know how to build the expression. If you're going to continue to participate, and I hope that you do, please keep this in mind. Making contact with the product this early, you are not only positioning yourself to be a master of it in future, but you're in a position to shape its future, and you have my attention.
You might take a read of the docs for Vera Reactor, to get a better lay of the land, including expressions. Things are different between the two systems, for sure, but the strong flavor is nonetheless there. You can also experiment with Vera Reactor on your Vera directly, and this may actually be very useful in helping identify other differences or gaps that should be at least documented if not closed. Either way, as the more mature product and very stable, it should help remove some of the questions and the trips in your learning curve caused by my errors in the new product. That said, I think I've shown that I will work as quickly as possible to get things shored up so that you can be productive on MSR.

All fair comments and observations Patrick. I certainly don't want to cause frustration to anyone.
In PLEG there was no need to of even written an expression just to monitor the value of a devices Dimming level for example. I'd just create a device property.
PLEG device properties are similar to how you build triggers in MSR, in the respect that you just select things from drop down lists. So monitoring a devices Dimming level in PLEG is trivial to setup.
Conditions in PLEG are not so trivial however and are more like writing expressions.
If MSR could build device properties or watch variables as PLEG does I think you'd be making it super easy for any user to pick up and run with MSR.
-
In vera reactor to watch a device state you just set a variable and there is a button to pick what you want to get/watch, this creates the expression for you. The button exists in MSR, but as Patrick says expressions are not fully implemented yet. When it is you will see how simple it is. Install Vera reactor just to have a play.
