  4. Replacing SiteSensor Plugin (Vera) with MSR
🎉 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.

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? If needed, I can provide detailed logs.

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?

Reactor (Multi-System/Multi-Hub) Announcements
toggledbitsT
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.

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.

MQTT configuration question

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
F
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.

    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.

          How about this data for Carbon from the National Grid ?

          I want to pick out "forecast" and "index" data.

          (object) {"data":[{"regionid":3,"dnoregion":"NPG North East","shortname":"North East England","postcode":"YO1","data":[{"from":"2021-03-27T13:00Z","to":"2021-03-27T13:30Z","intensity":{"forecast":34,"index":"very low"},"generationmix":[{"fuel":"biomass","perc":24.6},{"fuel":"coal","perc":0},{"fuel":"imports","perc":2.2},{"fuel":"gas","perc":0.2},{"fuel":"nuclear","perc":35.4},{"fuel":"other","perc":0},{"fuel":"hydro","perc":4.5},{"fuel":"solar","perc":6.3},{"fuel":"wind","perc":26.9}]}]}]}
          

          Thanks

            You can take not-terribly-human-readable blobs like that over to a JSON Pretty Print website (such as https://jsonformatter.org/json-pretty-print), paste it in and hit the "Outline" button, to see how the data looks in its underlying structure.
            json_pretty_print.png This allows you to quickly pinpoint the blob.key.subkey.data item you need to pull from in MSR.

            Traversing the tree from upper-left to lower-right, I see the first instance of "forcecast" lives inside an overall object {} (I'm naming response), then the first item (i.e. element 0) of an array [] within data, then inside another array within another key called data, then a key called intensity, and finally the key you want, forecast, yielding:
            response.data[0].data[0].intensity.forecast

              Remember that openLuup’s Test Lua window, gives you the pretty() function to do the same...

              local x  = luup.devices[2]
              print(pretty(x))
              
              

              Gives:

                description = "    openLuup",

                They don't make it easy to work all this out do they.

                "cointensity" is the name of my expression within the rule that first stores all the data pulled down from the HTTP request etc.

                So for my in-line substitution I have tried this, which doesn't work.

                ${{ cointensity.response.data(0).data(0).intensity.forecast }}
                

                I also tried:

                ${{ cointensity.data(0).data(0).intensity.forecast }}
                

                and a few other variations as well.

                I want to pass the "forecast" data to a Global Expression called "currentcarbonintensity"

                  I misled you a bit. MSR uses lexpjs, which references array elements in square brackets [] not the parentheses I first wrote (I'll edit my response, above).

                  Go with cointensity.data[0].data[0].intensity.forecast

                    (Also, I prefer to simply create another variable and set its value to cointensity.data[0].data[0].intensity.forecast and then reference THAT variable in my ${{ }} substitution. Why? Because this gives MSR a chance to tell me exactly where my expression is going wrong.)

                    If you follow this scheme in your workflow, you can entirely avoid having to use [Set Variable] so often, since the dependent variables will all "set themselves" immediately.

                    For example, a change to response will automatically update the values in any variable(s) defined by response.stuff or response.stuff.still.more.stuff (caveat: as long as those variables appear below response in your list of Expressions!).

                        Think I need a Vera plugin Dev.

                        I've tried to create a modified GenericIO device with four variables but its not working.

                        My MSR rule is sending out the data to each variable in Vera OK

                        a343f583-afb5-464a-86d8-0b7f461b1c95-image.png

                        But I can't seem to get that data to display on the front of the device in the web GUI.

                        e34b8f0b-09b0-47a8-9308-d23fd1a66e2a-image.png

                        Also for the Home Remote dashboard app, I'd need the generic sensor device and its data fully exposing to the SDATA stream. As Home Remote uses that for integration in to Vera etc.

                        So close, but I don't think I'm going to be able to properly create these types of devices in Vera myself.

                        EDIT:

                        Got it working now, I was using the wrong ServiceID in my MSR rule to set the variables.

                        7e9b5542-9b7f-4367-ad81-8de884fb09a7-image.png

                        Now I just need to figure out how to get this data in to the Vera SDATA output stream for Home Remote to see.

                        This is all I am seeing in SDATA currently:

                         { "name": "Covid-19 Stats", "altid": "", "id": 703, "category": 0, "subcategory": -1, "room": 8, "parent": 0, "configured": "0", "light": "4325315" },
                        

                        "light" is showing "4325315" which is the Confirmed number of Covid Cases, so that's a start, I need the other variables exposing to the SDATA stream some how.

                        EDIT2: I've added more <stateVariable> sections in to the S_GenericSensor2.xml file and now I can see all four variables data in the SDATA output stream, so I should now be able to add this device in to Home Remote and see all the data.

                        { "name": "Covid-19 Stats", "altid": "", "id": 703, "category": 0, "subcategory": -1, "room": 8, "parent": 0, "variable2": "3768434", "variable3": "630", "variable4": "126515", "variable1": "4325315", "configured": "0" }
                        

                        EDIT3: I now have a tile on a dashboard page in the Home Remote app.

                        b77b9282-edb0-4d67-907c-1d14199168c5-image.png

                        So as a proof of concept this works.

                        Just need an easier way to create these virtual devices in Vera.

                        Someone on the Vera forum suggested taking a look at the MultiString plugin.

                          It's moments like this that I'm grateful for online Forums where the open exchange of ideas and experience works to everyone's advantage, without fear of reprisal from those "in charge". 🙂

                            Just testing some different online API's see what's possible.

                            If your in the UK the National Grid have a Carbon Intensity online API here. This is for my region / area.

                            The data also breaks down by percent the types of generation used, Wind, Solar, Nuclear, Coal etc but not added that as yet.

                            Vera:

                            Home Remote:

                            Need to play about with the tiles and add an icon and reposition some items yet.

                              I've tried the Vera Multi-String plugin, it looks just like the type of plugin I was needing and looking for.

                              You can have up to five variables on a device.

                              6ec01036-3703-4888-8692-d47231b990d2-image.png

                              83c68d4c-977a-422c-861b-11f16cbfe804-image.png

                              You can then have your rule in MSR send the data to each variable etc.

                              The Multi-String plugin devices data is also outputted in the Vera SDATA stream so these device will also work with the Home Remote dashboard app.

                              { "name": "Covid-19 Stats", "altid": "", "id": 133, "category": 0, "subcategory": -1, "room": 0, "parent": 0, "variablename1": "Confirmed", "variable1": "4329180", "variablename2": "Recovered", "variable2": "3787312", "variablename3": "Critical", "variable3": "615", "variablename4": "Deaths", "variable4": "126573", "variablename5": "", "variable5": "", "options": "", "configured": "0" },
                              

                              So I recommend using the Multi-String plugin rather than trying to create your own modified Generic IO devices as I was doing.

                                  @cw-kid if one wanted to set all 5 parameter values at the same time, using an HTTP call to Vera, could that be done? (If so, I'd need to see a working example of a GET Request that does this.) Or would I have to issue 5 distinct calls to set those variables?

                                  P.S. I see from this old post that I'm not the first one to wonder.

                                    It’s so trivial to make a custom request handler in Luup... really it’s one of its best feature. So, in this case, indeed, “roll your own” and simply set the required variables per the content of the request.

                                      I am doing a different http request to Vera to set each variable not one request that set them all.

                                        Yeah, something tells me setting more than one at a time isn't possible, anyway. Just thought I'd ask the pros. 🙂 Thanks!

                                          You can take not-terribly-human-readable blobs like that over to a JSON Pretty Print website (such as https://jsonformatter.org/json-pretty-print), paste it in and hit the "Outline" button, to see how the data looks in its underlying structure.
                                          json_pretty_print.png This allows you to quickly pinpoint the blob.key.subkey.data item you need to pull from in MSR.

                                          Traversing the tree from upper-left to lower-right, I see the first instance of "forcecast" lives inside an overall object {} (I'm naming response), then the first item (i.e. element 0) of an array [] within data, then inside another array within another key called data, then a key called intensity, and finally the key you want, forecast, yielding:
                                          response.data[0].data[0].intensity.forecast

                                          @librasun Reviving this a bit because this right here is where I think I'm failing spectacularly.

                                          I'm working with the Ambient API for my weather station via Site Sensor in Vera. This thread has been fantastic at guiding me toward migrating the Site Sensor into MSR. Here's where I'm falling down:

                                          b777e1d6-172a-484d-9998-cbe7abc0c9d0-image.png

                                          The GET returns expected results. However, I believe I've messed up in creating the expressions for temp, wind speed, wind gust, and solar radiation.

                                          I've entered response[1].lastData.tempf into the ambient_temp field and it returns Last value:(error) Invalid reference to member 1 of null. This is taken right from the Site Sensor recipe where it's working wonderfully so I know I'm probably close. I know the expression logic in MSR is slightly different than that of the Vera Reactor plugin - combined with my almost total befuddlement of proper expressions go isn't helping 🙂

                                          Appreciate any guidance!
