Gradually turn on lights.
Tom_DT
I have several lights that I would like to turn on very gradually over 15 or 20 seconds. from 0 to .25 in .01 increments. I have tried a few things that came nowhere near working, so here I am.

Stop the MSR by an external switch on Hubitat.
wmarcolinW
Use case: When performing home maintenance, such as air conditioning, I want all rules involving air conditioning to be disabled. To do this, to day, I have a virtual switch that I placed within all rules involving air conditioning, meaning that if I turn it off, none of them work. Then another situation: the water pump system and garden irrigation, another switch. In short, I had to create several virtual switches in Hubitat to disable rules in MSR. Unfortunately, however, I was unable to cover all scenarios, so I wondered if it would be possible for MSR to support a virtual MSR switch, which, when configured in the reactor settings, would function as a general on/off switch for MSR. If it is configured and turned off, the entire rules and actions in MSR stops working, except for the status change reading process, specifically for this switch, which, when turned on, would restart the MSR. Would it be possible to do something like this? Any recommendations from the experts?

Way to search for rules (rule state) in other rules
T
@toggledbits, not sure if this is a feature request or I'm using the search tool wrong. You have a "Search for rule" in the Rules Set tab in MSR. It works nicely to find a rule and bring up said rule, but can it/could it be used for as a "where used?" global search? For instance, I have a fairly large set of rules, divided up into 10 different rulesets. There's easily a hundred individual rules, and many of the rules have Rule State triggers, which of course refer to other rules. Amongst my troubleshooting today, I came across what may have been a duplicate or troubleshooting attempt, but I can't tell if it's actually used as a Rule State in another rule without opening each rule that I suspect it may be a part of. Thanks.

Links to MSR from HA
Tom_DT
I am using Home Assistant a lot recently. On a dashboard showing the devices, I would like to show a link to the MSR rule that controls the devices. Is there a way to link directly into MSR?

Errors after updating to MQTTController build 25139
tunnusT
I'm running MSR build 25139 on Docker, using MQTT controller 24293, and everything working as expected. But if I try to upgrade to MQTTController build 25139, I'm getting the following errors on MSR UI: An Entity Attribute condition in "Lay-Z-Spa auto heating off" (Terrace) failed because the referenced entity "Lay-Z-Spa States" (mqtt>layzspa_states) does not have attribute value_sensor.god Last 11:20:37 An Entity Attribute condition in "Lay-Z-Spa auto heating off" (Terrace) failed because the referenced entity "Lay-Z-Spa States" (mqtt>layzspa_states) does not have attribute temperature_sensor.green Last 11:20:37 An Entity Attribute condition in "Lay-Z-Spa filter pump auto off" (Terrace) failed because the referenced entity "Lay-Z-Spa States" (mqtt>layzspa_states) does not have attribute temperature_sensor.red Last 11:20:37 An Entity Attribute condition in "Lay-Z-Spa filter pump auto run" (Terrace) failed because the referenced entity "Lay-Z-Spa States" (mqtt>layzspa_states) does not have attribute value_sensor.pump Last 11:20:37 An Entity Attribute condition in "Lay-Z-Spa watchdog" (Terrace) failed because the referenced entity "Lay-Z-Spa States" (mqtt>layzspa_states) does not have attribute value_sensor.status Last 11:20:37 My MQTT configuration (local_mqtt_devices.yaml) for the related entity is: layzspa_message: type: ValueSensor capabilities: ["temperature_sensor", "value_sensor", "power_sensor"] primary_attribute: power_sensor.value events: "layzspa/message": "power_sensor.value": json_payload: true if_expr: '! isnull( payload?.PWR )' expr: "float(payload.PWR)" "value_sensor.air": json_payload: true if_expr: '! isnull( payload?.AIR )' expr: "float(payload.AIR)" "value_sensor.pump": json_payload: true if_expr: '! isnull( payload?.FLT )' expr: "float(payload.FLT)" "value_sensor.god": json_payload: true if_expr: '! isnull( payload?.GOD )' expr: "float(payload.GOD)" "value_sensor.lock": json_payload: true if_expr: '! isnull( payload?.LCK )' expr: "float(payload.LCK)" "value_sensor.unit": json_payload: true if_expr: '! isnull( payload?.UNT )' expr: "float(payload.UNT)" "value_sensor.error": json_payload: true if_expr: '! isnull( payload?.ERR )' expr: "float(payload.ERR)" "temperature_sensor.green": json_payload: true if_expr: '! isnull( payload?.GRN )' expr: "float(payload.GRN)" "temperature_sensor.red": json_payload: true if_expr: '! isnull( payload?.RED )' expr: "float(payload.RED)" "temperature_sensor.target": json_payload: true if_expr: '! isnull( payload?.TGT )' expr: "float(payload.TGT)" "temperature_sensor.value": json_payload: true if_expr: '! isnull( payload?.TMP )' expr: "float(payload.TMP)" "temperature_sensor.virtual": json_payload: true if_expr: '! isnull( payload?.VTM )' expr: "round(float(payload.VTM), 1)" "temperature_sensor.ambient": json_payload: true if_expr: '! isnull( payload?.AMB )' expr: "float(payload.AMB)" "layzspa/Status": "value_sensor.status": if_expr: '! isnull( payload )' expr: "payload" "layzspa/button": "value_sensor.button": if_expr: '! isnull( payload )' expr: "payload" and in reactor.yaml I have: "layzspa_states": name: "Lay-Z-Spa States" friendly_name: 'Lay-Z-Spa States' include: layzspa_message I realize my MQTT configuration might be a bit unorthodox, but could there still be something unintentional in the latest MQTTController build?

🎉 My very first MSR controller: OpenSprinkler
therealdbT
Since today is my birthday - and I still pretend to be unconventional - I'm giving away a present to this wonderful community and I'm releasing my first OpenSprinkler controller for MSR. It was real fun to code it - and while it's still WIP, it seems to work OK for me. It's polling-based at the moment, but I'll add support for updates via MQTT very soon (it's already partially coded). Get it at (install is similar to MQTTController and such): https://github.com/dbochicchio/reactor-opensprinkler Feel free to try it. It's beta software, but it's stable. I'll update it weekly until all the tasks from my todo list are empty. Since I've learnt a lot from this controller, I'll explore new controllers soon.

Advice reqeusted to migrate MSR from Bare Metal to Container
T
Good day all, I'm in the process of trying to shut down my 10 year old Linux home server that served many purposes, but primarily it's what I used for my NAS/Plex Media server. I migrated the NAS aspect of the server in November of last year to a true NAS solution (Ubiquti UNAS Pro), which is rack mount and much more efficient than my old tower, which it's only side benefit was heating my home office during the winter. Unfortunately it also means heating my home office during the summer, which were about to be in full swing. I have two things running on this 10 year old server at this point. MSR and pi-hole. I'm running Plex Media Server on Fedora Workstation in Podman on mini PC, which is much more energy efficient than my old tower. My next step is to migrate MSR. I know there are images of MSR out there, and creating it is well documented. I'm going to be using Podman instead of Docker for various reasons, but they work very similar. What I don't know, is what I need to do to migrate my existing Bare Metal installation over to a container. Has anyone done this? Any advice?

Organizing/ structuring rule sets and rules
R
Hi guys, Just wondering how you guys organize your rule sets and rules. I wish I had an extra layer to have some more granularity, but my feature request was not popular. Maybe there are better ways to organize my rule sets. I use the rule sets now primarily for rooms. So a rule set per room. But maybe grouping by functionality works better. Any examples/ suggestions would be appreciated.

        No problem at all... but please, do look at the log file on MSR to see what it is sending, because right now, I have ALL actions being logged on all platforms, regardless of log level settings, for just this very reason. If what's being sent makes sense, then just look on the Vera side to see what it is getting, which is hopefully the same, but that is literally looking at one side and the other of one function call (to do the HTTP request), so there should be parity. But, there can always be a case where something about the value isn't kosher... an extra space before or after? Something sneaking in that doesn't immediately jump out. Logs. Always the logs.

          WILCO, just bear with me while I endure the "two steps back" phase of debugging my workflow, and get back to you.
          For the moment, I suspect the problem is me, not MSR. 😉

            @toggledbits I'm noticing that in MSR the following boolean test expressions are equating to FALSE when I naively expect TRUE (at least for the array version): 1 in {one:1} and 1 in [1,2,3]

            Also FALSE for: "one" in keys(testobj) where testobj := {one:1,two:2,three:3} which MSR sees internally as {"one":1, "two":2, "three":3}

            More importantly, despite in being declared a reserved keyword in lexpjs, it is not (yet) explicitly included in your docs among the array operations. Should I submit a request for that?

            Thanks for your insights, as always.

            EDIT: Think I found the answer to where "in" belongs in the lexpjs docs... it's intended for the each..<item>..in..<array> construct, whereas the docs currently describe each..<item>..OF..<array> so please accept this typo submission.

            I believe this means I should not be attempting to use in as I described above, then? And always use indexOf() instead?

              @librasun said in Expressions and LuaXP Functions:

              1 in {one:1}

              This is false because 1 is not a key of the object.

              1 in [1,2,3]

              Is actually true (just tested in lexpjs) because 1 is a key in the object (i.e. the element at array index 1 exists). This is JavaScript semantics.

              Also FALSE for: "one" in keys(testobj)

              That would be correct because, following those JavaScript semantics, keys() returns an array, and one is not a valid index for any array.

              Now, we can talk about whether or not the array behavior is expected. The smart folks that came up with JavaScript think so, but that doesn't mean it's the right answer for Reactor. It never occurred to me to use in on array in JavaScript, so I've never seen this effect; the "correct" way is (among several) Array.find() or Array.indexOf(). There is an indexOf() function in MSR/lexpjs.

              On the 1 in { 'one': 1 } being false, though, this is defensibly correct in both Reactor and JavaScript. If we change the behavior of in for arrays, then test (and true result) you want here would be written as 1 in values( { 'one': 1 } )

                I see. I hadn't considered the .find method only because it wasn't explicitly mentioned in lexpjs docs, but should have assumed it present from JS by extension.

                Furthermore, I stand corrected about 1 in [1,2,3] which I swore (should not!) MSR returned as FALSE on first run of test. My bad.

                Lastly, where do you stand on [1,2,3] || [3,4,5] and [1,2,3] && [3,4,5]? Former is returning TRUE (sorta expected) and latter is returning [3,4,5] which I kinda get, but don't? 🙂

                  [referring to Array.find()] That's not a lexpjs function, it's how you do what you are trying to do in JavaScript (find a value in an array). Your Reactor/lexpjs solution is indexOf(). Also note that dot-function notation is not supported by Reactor/lexpjs -- you can't say somearrayname.indexOf( lookingfor ), you have to write indexof( somearrayname, lookingfor ).

                  I'm tempted to just leave in as-is for arrays, but well-documented, simply because it follows a common-use language pattern, and there is a defined replacement, which happens to be (almost) the same for both.

                  Lastly, where do you stand on [1,2,3] || [3,4,5] and [1,2,3] && [3,4,5]?

                  That's a bug. The answer for the former should be [1,2,3] and for the latter [4,5,6]. Fixing now.

                    MSR SAMPLE EXPRESSIONS: Timestamp

                    If you want to display a timestamp in a stored variable or an outbound message from MSR, that looks like "14:24:43 Wed 2021-Mar-17", allow me to save you some typing. Just include this Expression in your Reaction, and reference ${{timeStamp}} in your workflow.

                    daysList = ["Sun","Mon","Tue","Wed","Thu","Fri","Sat"],
                    monthsList = ["","Jan","Feb","Mar","Apr","Jun","Jul","Aug","Sep","Oct","Nov","Dec"],
                    timeNow = dateparts(time()),
                    timeStamp = timeNow.hour + ':' + substr('0' + timeNow.minute,-2,2) + ':' + substr('0' + timeNow.second,-2,2) + '  ' + daysList[timeNow.weekday] + ' ' + timeNow.year + '-' + monthsList[timeNow.month] + '-' + substr('0' + timeNow.day,-2,2)
                    

                    This construct takes advantage of the multi-statement feature built into MSR, which permits you to string together a series of declarations and evaluations within a single Expression. I've also sprinkled in a little formatting spice, so that single-digit day, minute and second fields display with a leading 0.

                      lexpjs is missing some functions that LuaXP had and range from convenience to vital. Seems that date/time formatting is among them, as this should be a simpler operation, and we can take advantage of all the localization that the system itself offers in the process.

                      Among the functions I know are missing, or I'm pondering, are:

                      format( template, ...args ) - A C-style formatter for strings (like sprintf())
                      strftime( template, time ) - Also C-style, formatting specifically for date parts.
                      dateadd( time, yy, mm, dd, hh, MM, ss ) - Modify a timestamp; e.g. dateadd( time(), null, null, 1 ) would add one day to the current time (so the result time would have the same hour, minute, second just a day forward)
                      dateset( time, yy, mm, dd, hh, MM, ss ) - Another way to modify a timestamp, e.g. dateset( time(), null, null, null, 0, 0, 0 ) would result in midnight for the current date, while dateset( time(), null, null, null, 24, 0, 0 ) would be exactly midnight tomorrow.
                      push, pop, shift and unshift - Array functions to move an element in or out.
                      concat - Concatenate two arrays; function, or overload + ( e.g. [1,2,3] + [4,5,6] => [1,2,3,4,5,6] )
                      slice - Return a portion of arrray; pondering whether this should be done as a function, or with python-style array[start:end] syntax (into the whole brevity thing);
                      splice - Remove elements from, and insert into, and array; splice() is the JavaScript function, and it's very powerful but not particularly user-friendly. Maybe better to have separate remove() and insert() ?

                      The HubitatController also extends lexpjs with its own private hsltorgb() and rgbtohsl() functions to convert between RGB and HS(L) as part of its entity mappings. I'm considering making these available everywhere (could be useful in some actions in particular on any platform).

                      You may note that map/reduce functions are missing, but they are covered by the each operator (e.g. each val in numbers: val**2 produces a new array of the square of the values in numbers, the map() function, while t=0, each val in squares: t=t+val is a reduce that produces the sum of the squares); the select() function from LuaXP is covered by the first option (e.g. first element in array-or-object with match-expression). And filtering can also be done with each because any null result during iteration isn't added to the result array.

                          Does MSR have an equivalent of Reactor's...?

                          getattribute( DeviceNum ,'name')
                          

                          Cannot find such an attribute in Expression Builder.

                            No equivalent function, but the name is available as getEntity( .... ).name

                              I'll try that, and encourage you to add that to drop-down.

                              Also, meanwhile, I'm getting a (null) response with:
                              getEntity( "vera>device_337" ).attributes.x_vera_device.device_number
                              which IMHO ought to be (number) 337, no?

                              EDIT: Solved with a hard refresh of browser! Weird.

                                Is there a way to modify the following such that ALL whitespace gets replaced with the underscore (i.e. make the RegExp a 'global')??

                                replace(msgText, "\s", "_")

                                  I'm going to enhance the following functions to work like this. I use the "old school" *nix notation for optional parameters by enclosing in square brackets, so where you see that below, those parameters are optional.

                                  • match( string, pattern [ , num [ , flags ] ] ) - Find pattern in string. If num is given and the pattern contains regexp groups, the function will return the numth matched group (e.g. match( "The rain in Spain", "r(ai)n", 1 ) returns "ai"; zero is always the full match, and thus the default). If flags is given as "i", a case-insensitive match will be performed.
                                  • find( string, pattern [ , flags ] ) - Returns the position (0-based) of the matched pattern in string. Returns -1 if the pattern is not matched. The flags have the same meaning as in match().
                                  • replace( string, pattern, replacement [ , flags ] ) - Replaces the first occurrence (by default) of pattern in string with replacement. If specified, flags have the same meaning as in match(), plus the additional flag "g" (for global) modifies the behavior to replace all instances of the pattern in string (if needed, multiple flags can simply be concatenated, as in "ig" for case-insensitive + global). The replacement string uses $ as a special pattern lead-in, so $` yields the portion of string before the matched pattern, $' yields the portion of string after the matched pattern, $& is the entire matched substring, $n inserts the match of the nth group in pattern, and $$ yields "$" (self-escape).

                                  Basically, all of this follows JavaScript semantics, which provides the underlying implementation.

                                    Will MSR still interpret the literal \n as a line break (equivalent of <br> in HTML) in text strings? Or is it going to be escaped differently (if used at all)?

                                        For example, I like to pre-format the messages I send via SMTP, and routinely define:

                                        msgText := "Hello from Vera. \n\n I see you are running MSR! \n \n Sincerely, Vera"

                                          Yes, will happen. It raises priority on another "to-do" item for the parser, which has rather "blunt" string lexing at the moment. I've got a more formal version working now, but I want to play with it a little more before I commit it to MSR.
