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?

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.

I have the following yaml configuration in local_mqtt_devices file x_mqtt_device: set_speed: arguments: speed: type: str topic: "command/%friendly_name%" payload: type: json expr: '{ "fan": parameters.speed }' While this works fine, I'm wondering how this could be changed to "fixed" parameters, as in this case "fan" only accepts "A", "Q" or a numeric value of 1-5?

System Configuration Check - time is offset

Hi! I get this message when I'm on the status tab: System Configuration Check The time on this system and on the Reactor host are significantly different. This may be due to incorrect system configuration on either or both. Please check the configuration of both systems. The host reports 2025-04-01T15:29:29.252Z; browser reports 2025-04-01T15:29:40.528Z; difference 11.276 seconds. I have MSR installed as a docker on my Home Assistant Blue / Hardkernel ODROID-N2/N2+. MSR version is latest-25082-3c348de6. HA versions are: Core 2025.3.4 Supervisor 2025.03.4 Operating System 15.1 I have restarted HA as well as MSR multiple times.

Programmatically capture HTTP Request action status code or error
therealdbT
I have a very strange situation, where if InfluxDB restarts, other containers may fail when restarting at the same time (under not easy to understand circumstances), and InfluxDB remains unreachable (and these containers crashes). I need to reboot these containers in an exact order, after rebooting InfluxDB. While I understand what's going on, I need a way to reliable determine that InfluxDB is not reachable and these containers are not reachable, in order to identify this situation and manually check what's going on - and, maybe, in the future, automatically restart them if needed. So, I was looking at HTTP Request action, but I need to capture the HTTP response code, instead of the response (becase if ping is OK, InfluxDB will reply with a 204), and, potentially, a way to programmatically detect that it's failing to get the response. While I could write a custom HTTP controller for this or a custom HTTP virtual device, I was wondering if this is somewhat on you roadmap @toggledbits Thanks!

ZwaveJSUI - RGBWW BULB - Warm/Cold White interfered with RGB settings - Bulb doesn't change color if in WarmWhite state.
N
Hi , I'm on -Reactor (Multi-hub) latest-25067-62e21a2d -Docker on Synology NAS -ZWaveJSUI 9.31.0.6c80945 Problem with ZwaveJSUI: When I try to change color to a bulb RGBWW, it doesn't change to the RGB color and the bulb remains warm or cold white. I tryed with Zipato RGBW Bulb V2 RGBWE2, Hank Bulb HKZW-RGB01, Aentec 6 A-ZWA002, so seems that it happens with all RGBWW bulb with reactor/zwavejsui. I'm using from reator the entity action: "rgb_color.set" and "rgb_color.set_rgb". After I send the reactor command, It changes in zwavejsui the rgb settings but doesn't put the white channel to "0", so the prevalent channel remains warm/cold White and the bulb doesn't change into the rgb color. This is the status of the bulb in zwavejsui after "rgb_color.set" (235,33,33,) and the bulb is still warmWhite. x_zwave_values.Color_Switch_currentColor={"warmWhite":204,"coldWhite":0,"red":235,"green":33,"blue":33} The "cold white" and "warm white" settings interfer with the rgb color settings. Reactor can change bulb colors with rgb_color set — (value, ui8, 0x000000 to 0xffffff) or rgb_color set_rgb — (red, green, blue, all ui1, 0 to 255) but if warm or cold white are not to "0", zwavejsui doesn't change them and I can't find a way to change into rgb or from rgb back to warm white. So if I use from reactor: rgb_color set_rgb — (235,33,33) in zwavejsui I have x_zwave_values.Color_Switch_targetColor={"red":235,"green":33,"blue":33} 14/03/2025, 16:43:57 - value updated Arg 0: └─commandClassName: Color Switch └─commandClass: 51 └─property: targetColor └─endpoint: 0 └─newValue └──red: 235 └──green: 33 └──blue: 33 └─prevValue └──red: 235 └──green: 33 └──blue: 33 └─propertyName: targetColor 14/03/2025, 16:43:57 - value updated Arg 0: └─commandClassName: Color Switch └─commandClass: 51 └─property: currentColor └─endpoint: 0 └─newValue └──warmWhite: 204 └──coldWhite: 0 └──red: 235 └──green: 33 └──blue: 33 └─prevValue └──warmWhite: 204 └──coldWhite: 0 └──red: 235 └──green: 33 └──blue: 33 └─propertyName: currentColor In zwavejsui, the bulb changes rgb set but warm White remains to "204" and the bulb remais on warm White channel bacause is prevalent on rgb set. x_zwave_values.Color_Switch_currentColor_0=204 x_zwave_values.Color_Switch_currentColor_1=0 x_zwave_values.Color_Switch_currentColor_2=235 x_zwave_values.Color_Switch_currentColor_3=33 x_zwave_values.Color_Switch_currentColor_4=33 Is it possible to targetColor also for "warmWhite" and "coldWhite" and have something similar to this? x_zwave_values.Color_Switch_targetColor={"warmWhite":0,"coldWhite":0,"red":235,"green":33,"blue":33} Thanks in advance.

Problem after upgrading to 25067
R
MSR had been running fine, but I decided to follow the message to upgrade to 25067. Since the upgrade, I have received the message "Controller "<name>" (HubitatController hubitat2) could not be loaded at startup. Its ID is not unique." MSR throws the message on every restart. Has anyone else encountered this problem? I am running MSR on a Raspberry Pi4 connecting to two Hubitat units over an OpenVPN tunnel. One C8 and a C8 Pro. Both are up-to-date. It appears that despite the error message that MSR may be operating properly.

[Solved] Runtime error when exiting global reaction that contains a group
S
I am getting a Runtime error on different browsers when I click exit when editing an existing or creating a new global reaction containing a group. If the global reaction does not have a group I don't get an error. I see a similar post on the forum about a Runtime Error when creating reactions but started a new thread as that appears to be solved. The Runtime Error is different in the two browsers Safari v18.3 @http://192.168.10.21:8111/reactor/en-US/lib/js/reaction-list.js:171:44 You may report this error, but do not screen shot it.

    OK so lets say I now have a variable in MSR that contains some data pulled down from a HTTP Request to some online API somewhere.

    How can I send that value / information to a Generic IO Sensor in Vera ?

    I know how to create a GenericIO device in Vera and I know how to send data to it from a simple HTTP command, for example this command will send the text "Hello World"

    http://Vera-IP/port_3480/data_request?id=lu_variableset&DeviceNum=128&serviceId=urn:micasaverde-com:serviceId:GenericSensor1&Variable=CurrentLevel&Value=Hello World
    

    And here is the device in Vera:

    51473251-7dd4-436a-b70a-02add45a940f-image.png

    But how to create a rule to send the contents of an MSR variable (expression) ?

      I'm going to assume the data was returned in JSON format? In which case MSR treats that like an object {}, whose keys can be referenced with dot notation.
      For example, if your variable respData stored the response {animal:"cat", clothing:"suit", food:"chow"} and you want to send the current value of the "chow" key therein, simply reference that value with respData.chow.

      One hurdle you may have to overcome, since the data is being fetched and stored in Rule A, but you want to reference the results in Rule B, is that you'd then have to either (a) store respData as a Global Expression, or (b) create a blank Expression in Rule B, and tell Rule A to [Set Variable] on it.

        @cw-kid said in Replacing SiteSensor Plugin (Vera) with MSR:

        But how to create a rule to send the contents of an MSR variable (expression) ?

        In case you revised your question, or I misinterpreted it earlier, here goes:

        It sounds like you want to send data from MSR to a plug-in / virtual device / sensor over on Vera. Before you begin, go to that "device" > Advanced > Variables and determine which of its variables is intended to receive the data.

        Click "EDIT" next to that variable, and look for its complete "service" name in the window; copy that string for use back in MSR.

        Close that window on Vera, then head back over to MSR.

        In MSR, you will want an [ENTITY ACTION] in the Set Reaction. Choose the target device as the 'Entity' and choose "x_vera_device.set_variable" as the action.

        Fill out the three fields, where "service:" and "variable:" come from the string you copied earlier. For "value:" either type a constant (numeric or "text"), or a variable name properly clad in curly brackets ( e.g. ${{respData}} ) so the value gets substituted next time the Rule triggers.

        Hope this helps!!

            Its working. I now have my current WAN IP address being sent from MSR to a virtual device (Generic IO Sensor) on Vera.

            So now know how to send any data stored in an expression / variable from MSR to a device on Vera !

              Just updated to today's build, the headers are now saved in that field and no longer vanish.

              However I've tried this and no data is being returned / stored

                  Doesn't make any difference with lowercase "uk"

                  My expression in the rule says "null" and no data is being brought down.

                    Not a coder, but have been messing about with Vera's Generic IO Sensor device and managed to create a new instance that can accept multiple variables.

                    So if these HTTP request headers start working, I should be able to push some Covid stats to this "Generic Sensor" in Vera as a test.

                    Does something like this kind of device for displaying data already exist somewhere?

                        Doesn't make any difference with lowercase "uk"

                        My expression in the rule says "null" and no data is being brought down.

                        If it's any consolation, their site seems to be throwing a 500 error when I try to visit https://covid19-api.com/country?name=uk&format=json in my browser. How about yours?

                          Same for me also.

                          However try their CURL command in a terminal window, that works and brings back data OK

                            But aren't we trying to "replace" that plugin 😁

                            Some decent Generic IO Sensor virtual device we could create and send data too directly from MSR would be nice.

                            EDIT: I've just noticed my tweaked GenericIO device does not appear correctly in the Vera mobile app but only on the UI7 web GUI.

                              Yes, for this reason we can never truly abandon SiteSensor. Why reinvent the wheel, anyway?
                              But it does beg the question: Why do you need a generic sensor on your Vera when it could "live" on MSR? After all, is it not just a placeholder for data?

                                So I can add that device in to the Home Remote dashboard app also.

                                If it's only on MSR I don't know how to connect Home Remote to MSR directly.

                                  Fair enough (although I'm certain that capacity will come once MSR variables get exposed via the API).

                                    Just updated to today's build, the headers are now saved in that field and no longer vanish.

                                    However I've tried this and no data is being returned / stored

                                    Sheesh. I'll admit I'm a little on edge this morning because we had a major storm roll through last night with some nasty lightning (and a tornado very close to us) and it apparently killed my daily-use laptop (cheap, old, no big loss, just a distraction to recover but they were almost two-for-a-dollar on sleezeBay), so forgive me, but...

                                    There have been no fewer than 10 posts since the above quoted post, and despite my admonition in bold text yesterday in this very thread, not one mention of what may lie in reactor.log.

                                      Its working now with the new update and pulling down data OK, thanks.

                                      However I am not able to split out the data in to different global expressions. I think I have it setup correctly but all the global expressions say "null".

                                        Notice the [ that starts the displayed value... it's an array. The { that follows tells you there's an object as the first element of the array. So you need to pluck the first element out of the array, then dereference through it to the key you want, like covidstats[0].critical.

                                          That works thanks, my global expressions are now being populated with data.

                                          I just added covidstats[0]. to all of them in the rule.
