I need a handful of victims volunteers to help test previews of the next build of Reactor. A long-standing request was for "a simple login mechanism," but in practice, adding user authentication and competent access control turned out to be a pretty big project with a lot of big changes on both server and client sides. It's a bit more than I'm comfortable testing myself and springing out to everyone at once, so I'd like to work with a small group to put it through "sea trials."
Major changes/features include:
User authentication with hashed password storage; User group configuration with application restriction (admin, dashboard, API); Detailed control over API access, with user- and token-based authentication/authorization; Improvements to the HTTPS service; Improvements to UI coordination with the core for Rules and Reactions.If this sounds like something you'd like to help with, drop me a reply here in this thread or privately.
(Using userauth-24120-7745fb8d build in Docker)
There's a filtering capability for entities in reactor.yaml, but I have a case where I don't want to filter an entity altogether, but would like to "throttle" it, as this sensor updates every 1-2 seconds (and therefore unnecessarily takes database space).
Sensor data comes through home assistant, and seems that there's no way to control update interval at that end.
So I'm asking if plugin configuration could support limiting/throttling updates for certain entities?
Good morning,
Hopefully this is a simple request. I believe the title should be self explanatory, but just in case, I'll elaborate.
On the status tab, we all get alerts if a device state has changed (i.e., been removed). This is great, but when I go into the entities tab, I have to either type the name (or a portion thereof) of the device that has been removed, or I need to scroll all the way through my list of devices. This is infrequent, however, yesterday I replaced a failed device in my HAAS environment. It was a Z-Wave switch that is added using the Smart Scan QR code, which normally makes it pretty easy. However, some devices don't get fully added the first time around, so it'll add multiple entries into HAAS until it get's the S2 authentication correct and the device fully included. It did this to me yesterday, and I had to delete the incomplete device from my installation. MSR still saw the entities of that failed/incomplete switch entity, and I was left with 8 alerts and entities that I needed to removed.
It's not a huge problem, but this example was just one switch. If I were to add replace multiple devices at once, this could be a bit more annoying to remove. It would be helpful to be able to filter by removed entities, so I can find them all quickly and delete them. Continuing that train of thought, it would also be useful to have check boxes next to those lines, and perhaps do a select all type of thing so they could be deleted in one mouse click.
@toggledbits I have finally finished up the SSL using Let's Encrypt and am getting this from my local browser:

I know you said in the docs that using a self-signed could lead to this but this is LE.
Hi @toggledbits,
I don't know if I'm the only one, so I'm reporting here first instead of opening a bug.
Basically, with the latest 2-3 updates of Reactor and MQTTController, after a restart previous statuses are lost (for both Virtual and MQTT entities), until they're restored.
It's particularly annoying for Virtual Entities, because I have to set them all over again (I've coded some defaults at startup if the values are empty, but sometimes these are not the correct values before the update).
Not easy to reproduce, and logs are gone, but the first time I tought it was me hallucinating, the second one didn't bother too much, after the third I realized it's something not coming from me.
the behavior could be seen in this screenshot:
1c007fc2-4dbc-4476-8dca-e5aa111e4642-image.png
Any hint is 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.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,
So Home Assistant decided to change the default weather home format that I've been using for the past year and a half. I had two Global Expressions set up to pull the high and low temp forecast for the day. Now it's pulling null values.
094c9205-cc9e-4fcc-ac4f-1bf54acea299-image.png
In the dev tools, it now uses a new service (Weather. get forecasts), plural, where the old Weather.get forecast is depreciated and now longer functions.
8c7a1fcc-dd3f-4268-a0b7-29d542f86adc-image.png
It shows a templow field, and a temperature field, which I presume is the forecast high.
When I head back over to MSR, I'm having a hard time finding those values in the Entities tab.

MSR: latest-24057-e9add9f5
Hey Patrick, I recently have been noticing that MSR has been acting up ie. it's been needing restarts and has been slow. I began trouble shooting by looking at the logs and have noticed the following errors for a lot of entities. I thought maybe a simple reboot of RPi was needed and I kept seeing the same errors in the system logs. I am oddly enough not seeing these same errors in the MSR logs. Where things started getting weird is whenever I rebooted MSR it wouldn't come back online .I would have to restart the RPi then it would come back online. I just restarted MSR again to capture logs and it restarted fine, so I guess its good for now? I think this is more or so a corrupted SD card issue rather a MSR issue but well being troubleshooting from here. The SD card is about 1-2 years old.
Apologies if this post is everywhere, I cannot consistently recreate any oddities that are happening, that's what is leading me to believe my SD is going bad.
PS: If anyone knows how to diagnose a corrupt SD card please chime in.

This system has been running flawlessly year after year for the time changes twice a year literally since MSR came out so I was caught off-guard when this happened this morning.
Time in MSR browser is EST, time on RPi is local time (DST).

What am I missing here @toggledbits ?
Hi,
For the standard capabilities MSR sends both a value record and a units record to InfluxDB. The latter I would like not to send as they are not really any use for me and it will reduce the number of records send to my InfluxDB.
Is there a quick way to do this with a filter_entities line like: *>units?
Or do I have to update all capabilities to read like this:
power_sensor:
attributes:
value: true
Cheers Rene
I'm trying to replicate this
wallbox_set_number.PNG
into a MQTT entity where I could set a number with a min and max value.
I can't find a standard capability that fits or any documentation on local MQTT capabilities and the only post on the forum mentioning local MQTT capabilities is this post, is it even possible in current release?
My trial and error work in local_mqtt_capabilities.yaml isn't much to show as it's just a copy of mqtt_capabilities.yaml with changed names and then I got stuck.
Any guidance, examples, documentation, future feature request or denial would be much appreciated, thanks!

MQTTController 24050
Hi guys,
I've recently bought a new Govee outdoor permanent lights set, and I love it. WAF is pretty high, and the product is good quality. I hope to never run lights in the front of the house.
This new addition has found me searching for something to control these lights, locally. Govee has officials remote and LAN APIs and Home Assistant has it supported, but some undocumented stuff that's integrated into an Homebridge plugin that seems very promising. Without this plugin, my playlist is orchestrated via the cloud and that makes zero sense.
In the past I got some inspiration from plugins running on other platforms and Homebridge seems one of the most active. I could map its devices via HomeKit-local on HA, but I've decommissioned Homebridge years ago when we settled to Alexa (and I want to stay simple), so I had an idea: why get inspiration and rewrite things, when you could write an Homebridge adapter that could load any Homebridge plugin and run them natively under Reactor (MSR)?
I'm not sure if that's viable or made any sense, so I'm posting here to get feedback, encouragement and your thoughts. Anyone could be potentially interested in such a thing?
Hi- looking for a hint in where to start. My goal is to set a PIN code in a zwave kwikset lock triggered in a rule.
The device isn’t exposing methods to help. The x-hass.call-service looks promising, but what would the service name be?
Plan b would be send the zwave controller a config command- I don’t see any way to explicitly send a command through JS Zwave in my environment.
Running reactor bare metal. JS Zwave is running as an add on inside HASS OS.
Any tips are appreciated.
Hey crew, I'm trying to use MSR to control the RGB values of a Z-Wave bulb in Home Assistant.
Problem I'm running into - I would like to use 'rgb_color.set' to control this, but it doesn't work, instead it always passes the values '255,255,255' to HA no matter what values I enter within MSR.
More notes and examples below - I'm wondering if this is a formatting issue that I'm missing? Thanks for any help!
NOTES FROM TROUBLESHOOTING:
'rgb_color.set_rgb' works successfully, which seems strange. You'd think they would both be affected I've tried a couple different formats, like adding quotes, adding/removing spaces between the RGB values, nothing has fixed it.EXAMPLES:
When I use 'rgb_color.set_rgb', the values successfully carry over to Home Assistant:

I’m running MSR in a docker container on my Synology Nas. The container is automatically updated using watchtower weekly.
It was working. Now, after the update, Reactor webpage is able to load, and all indications on the webpage suggests that it is working fine. However, the updated statuses from Home Assistant and Vera are not being detected.
The container logs show the following error

Noticed right away last night at closing time that the open/close had become inverted with the update to v23326.
It wasn't an awful bit of lift to change all Reactions to reflect the change but it was jarring initially when everything flipped.
Are there release notes on that version, @toggledbits ?
Installing latest-24052-d039d560 and I did a dumb thing: moving too quickly, I deleted package.json instead of package-lock.json because the latter didn't exist.
Ran the installer script - but in the wrong directory so I moved package.json manually.
Everything has come back EXCEPT for my MQTT Cloud OwnTracks entities. They're erroring because of this:

(Don't heckle my folder structure - it's run this way for three years)
reactor.yaml is fine, all MQTT configs exactly as they should be.
The folder mqtt_templates is present:

The file it says is "unreadable" is present and hasn't changed (today's date is the Changed date because I did a quick nonsense edit to see that it was not corrupted in some way).

system capability zwave_scene_controller

Ohh!
I will try this out as I have several of this fibaro dimmer.This dimmer was actually one of the first devices I bought to my Vera Edge.
I was so disappointed when I realized it wasn't supported in Vera and the zwave standard not as compatible as it first seems.
To further annoy me my brother bought a Homey a couple of years later and it immediately supported all fibaro stuff with an easy to use gui for all the parameters.I also think I have a qubino dimmer that have 2 input ports were the second that doesn't control the dimmer isn't recognized by Vera.
Anyone know if that also is a scene controller that Reactor could see and use? -
@toggledbits said in system capability zwave_scene_controller:
the changes operator is all you need for the timestamp check
I already tried that earlier, that does work sort of.
If I add a second trigger for the time stamp and changes from anything to anything.
I can then double click the wall switch and the Reaction runs. I can then double click it again and the Reaction runs again a second time OK.
However when I reload the Luup engine on Vera the rules reaction fires two or three times whist Vera is reloading. So that time stamp must be changing somehow during a reload.
Not sure what's going on but it's a problem somewhere.

Never used Qubino dimmers.
Qubino are not my favourite brand at the moment but that's another story.
What does the user manual say? Look for scene activation.

@cw-kid said in system capability zwave_scene_controller:

No, it's a Vera thing. There are three things going on that make their implementation choices for scene controllers really sticky...
- When Vera reloads/reboots, it sets a timestamp on every state variable on every device to the startup timestamp. Timestamps are not stored in the persistent user_data, so any previous timestamp is lost. Every time Vera starts, every state variable get a new timestamp.
- Not only do the timestamps not appear in user_data for the states, they are not exported with the user_data or status queries. In other words, the timestamps are locked inside Vera's head and not available outside.
- When you set a state variable on Vera, if and only if the value changes is the new value set and the timestamp updated. And in turn, for any plugins that are running on Vera and have watches on those state variables, their callbacks get called. If you attempt to set a state variable to the same value it already has, the timestamp and value and not modified, and the watch callbacks are not called. But there's an exception. Probably to support their crazy way to handling scene controllers, any state variable that starts with
sl_
will update its timestamp even if you rewrite it with the same value it already has.
On the Vera, it works out that any plugins that handle the scene controller state variables, like Reactor or PLEG, or my SceneSlayer plugin, or the other scene controller plugin whose name escapes me at the moment, handle all this OK because, principally, the watch callback doesn't get called at system boot, and does get called otherwise. So it's pretty easy to detect repeat activations of the same scene, although it still takes some effort, as seen in the approaches one must use in both Reactor for Vera and PLEG.
Off the Vera, however, the combination of the above three choices are just a near-fatal limitation. Without a stable timestamp that comes from the Vera itself, there's just no way to tell if you're looking at an original value or a repeated value.
Anyway, there's still one good alternative, and it's simple: after you act on the scene activation (i.e. in the Set reaction), set the source state variable to 0 or some other value outside the range of normal (-1 or -999 or whatever). I've referred to this in the notes for your PR, so check there for more specifics.
I've tested it with my scene controllers in MSR and it works fine.
-
I think its working OK now:
Trigger:
Reaction:
I can double click the wall switch and each time the Reaction runs and my HTTP request is sent to Node-Red which in turn sends a TTS announcement to a Google Home speaker saying "This is a Test".
If I reload the Luup engine on Vera the rule no longer fires.
I then configured this rules Set Reaction to its actual purpose of turning on or off another light using the toggle.toggle.
This also works and now when I double click the Lounge light switch it turns on the kitchen ceiling light.
I will transfer all my rules for this from PLEG to MSR.
One thing I need to check however, I also use Fibaro Roller Shutter 2 modules for this same purpose as well. So they might need mapping. I will create a device dump for one of these modules.
Thank you very much.
EDIT: I've setup all the MSR rules now for the various Fibaro Dimmer 2 modules. Everything is working. However it does seem a little slow to run the action than what PLEG was.
I guess this is the price to pay for having MSR not running locally on Vera and on the Raspberry Pi instead.
-
I've just tried a Fibaro Roller Shutter 2 module and as suspected it says: zwave_scene_controller.scene_activated? (missing)
So cannot setup these wall switches for double and triple click events till its mapped.
Thanks
For future reference, this is the Scene Activation information for the Fibaro Roller Shutter 2 module.
-
Something strange with these Fibaro Roller Shutter 2 modules.
I've updated the vera_devices.json file for the mapping and restarted MSR.
When I Double Click UP (S1) the sl_SceneActivated changes to 4, so that is OK and works.
However when I double click DOWN (S2) sl_SceneActivated remains at 0 its value doesn't change to anything. (Note I am setting them to 0 as part of the Set Reaction)
Same when I triple click DOWN (S2) sl_SceneActivated remains at 0.
PLEG is really using LastSceneID instead of sl_SceneActivated and they are the numbers above in that screen shot 14, 24 and 25 etc They are the numbers in PLEG I monitor for.
However we cannot see LastSceneID in MSR so I cannot use those numbers in my rules.
I have tried two different wall switches that are Roller Shutter 2 modules and they both behave exactly the same as I just described.
Which is somewhat confusing. So as it stands I can't use these Fibaro Roller Shutter 2 modules in MSR with scene activation.
I will test some more and maybe check their user manual and parameter settings or something.
The Fibaro Dimmer 2 modules on the other hand they are all working great with MSR no issues with any different types of clicks.
EDIT:
It says 0 in Vera GUI as well after just doing a double click down.
-
Can you confirm that the value of
sl_SceneActivated
behaves the same way on the Vera alone, without looking at MSR? Look at the state variables in Advanced > Variables for the device. Turn off your MSR rules or stop MSR to keep it from doing anything while you're testing, so the test is clean. To see changes accurately on Vera, you'll need to hard-refresh your browser after every test attempt, or alternately, click the "Edit" link on the state variables (you don't need to change them, just bring them into the editor, as this populates the correct current value when it opens; confirm the value and then just close the editor and move on to the next variable). -
FYI, I threw in the towel last night and admitted defeat. Fibaro has once again claimed a victim. There's a new extended capability that has the
last_scene_id
andlast_scene_time
values.I have a dozen scene controllers in my house. Leviton, EnerWave, ZRC-90s, and Hank. Not a one of them defines those two variables, and they're not declared in the service (and as I said, the service isn't even declared on the device type -- Fibaro support is kludged, apparently). I hope the new dev team over there, for everyone's sanity, takes a strict approach to consistency in handling devices. Between scene controllers and thermostats, this is a horrible legacy in current Vera firmware.

Sorry for the late reply I've been feeling unwell today.
I've not done the last test yet, where I disable the MSR rules and then look to see if the sl_SceneActivated value changes from 0 in the Vera web GUI ? When doing double and triple clicks on the switch etc.
I've not installed any new version of MSR either today. So we can now see the last_scene_id values now instead in MSR ?
Thanks for your efforts on this.

Thanks for your efforts on this.Yes. I tried to stick to standards, but since Vera really didn't, there's nothing I can do if I want it to work at all. I think we did a good job of pursuing every avenue before taking that step, but at the end of the day, we can't make something out of nothing, and have to use what we have available.
P.S. Sorry to hear you're not well. Rest up; hope you're on the mend soon.

That sl_SceneActivated variable does change OK for the Fibaro Dimmer 2 modules, as I said I have all those scene activations working and setup now in MSR.
But for the Fibaro Roller Shutter 2 modules it only correctly changes that sl_SceneActivated variable for double clicks UP (S1).
For double click down (S2) and triple click down (S2) it doesn't appear to be changing at all. Which is weird.
I wonder what the Fibaro Relay Switch modules do also? I do have some of those, but I am not using them with scene activation. I saw in the vera devices .json you also had a mapping for the Fibaro Relay Switch modules.

Yes, but no mapping yet, so when you get around to it....

I've done the last test on these Fibaro Roller Shutter 2 modules.
Its as I have said before. The sl_SceneActivated does not change value for S2 Double click or S2 Triple Click it remains as 0 in the Vera web GUI.
This is S1 Double click this does change to 4.
So there's no way this would of worked fully with MSR without also being able to see the Last_Scene_ID numbers.
-
In the new version of MSR this is what I see now:
I think I am going to switch all my rules to use the last_scene_id instead as its these numbers that are in the fibaro user manuals for scene activation.
I guess to reset the rule so I can repeat a double click I will have to reset the last_scene_id if possible ?
Changing this:
To this:
I will test it and see if it works.
EDIT:
Initial tests say everything is working as expected now using the lastsceneID numbers instead of sl_sceneactivated.
Thank you very much for enabling this functionality in MSR.

I can't wait to map all my Nodon battery-powered remote buttons to MSR routines once able. Mine can do single-, double- and long-press as well as the "release" action, netting me 16 possible actions. It even has an LED with programmable behavior (which I've never succeeded in altering; it just remains off).
Have you noticed that controlling scenes with MSR is far faster than MFL on Vera?

I've noticed that everything is faster. They appear to have considerable overhead in setting up and calling plugin code when it needs to happen. Their job scheduling can also delay the plugin's response when the system is busy doing other things. Luup is trying to be very defensive around plugins, but that comes at a performance cost. They made similar decisions (not surprisingly) in the new firmware that I warned them about early on, in some ways worse. We'll see how that turns out. I've heard they've reversed themselves, but since I'm not playing with that stuff any more, I haven't confirmed it myself.

I think these scene activations with my Fibaro modules are slower on MSR running on the Pi, than they were with PLEG running on Vera.
But that is to be expected I guess. I have about a 2 or 3 second delay after doing the clicks on the switch to when the action is run. Sometimes longer delays.
But its working which is the main thing.
