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? If needed, I can provide detailed logs.

🎉 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?

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?

    I'm not yet banned, but probably have one foot in their forums and the other on a banana peel, so I'll try and see what response I get.

      Well this is classic Vera/eZLO. Support appears to have no idea that this device is recognized: https://community.ezlo.com/t/broadlink-ir-what-do-these-items-mean-do/217834/2?u=rigpapa

      @Elcid This is not bridged from a Vera or anything like that, right? You specifically added this device to your eZLO as a first-class, directly-supported device? Just confirming before I go back and disagree with Oscar's assertion.

      Edit: Yeah, I see it listed in the VeraMobile app. Sheesh. Here we go...

        Yes defiantly added via the Ezlo/vera app.

        Just read the thread. Seems the usual lefthand not knowing righthand scenario.

        Cheers for posing the question though. May be it will get a response that will help from Oleh.

            I see Oleh has responded

            i tested the the hub.item.value.set with the below command and was able to turn on /off the ir device, i also tested a rf device and all works.

            {
              "method": "hub.item.value.set",
              "id": "1626604139112",
              "params": {
                "_id": "6093b3b9122335171491d136",
                "value": "JgBwAAABJ5UQFREUEBURFBAVEBQSFBAVDzoSOBE4ETkROREUEDoQORAWETcRFQ8XDxUQFRAVEBUOOxITEDoROBE5EDoROBE5EAAFQQABJ0wQAAxLAAEnSxEADEsAASZMEQAMSwABJkwRAAxKAAEmTBEADQUAAAAAAAAAAA=="
              }
            }
            

            I was also able to turn on ir/rf learning with the below api request

            {
              "method": "hub.item.value.set",
              "id": "1626604956393",
              "params": {
                "_id": "60a35a31122335171b85b751",
                "value": 1
              }
            }
            

            this is the broadcast response after a ir signal is sent to broadlink in learning mode.

            {
              "id": "ui_broadcast",
              "msg_id": "60f4346b122335125b847786",
              "msg_subclass": "hub.extensions.plugin.ui_broadcast",
              "result": {
                "code": "JgBYAAABLJUSFBIUERQUEhMTERURORMTETkSORI5EzgRORI5FBISOREVERQTExE5FBITExEUFBITOBM3EjkSFBI5EjgSORI5EgAFLQABK0sSAAx3AAErSxIADQU=",
                "plugin": "broadlink",
                "type": "IR"
              }
            }
            

            each ir/rf command has a different _id that is listed in hub.items.list

              Unfortunately there's nothing in the broadcast that ties it back to the original request, so that's going to eliminate the possibility of storing any broadcast response on the correct item/device. I've asked Oleh about this.

                Capturing the learnt rf/ir codes would be enough, it would remove the need to fire up the ezlo/vera App to capture codes. Maybe actions to learn_ir/rf_code and an ezlo broadcast listener in the tool section?

                    here is complete broadcast respnonse
                    1 send "learn_ir_code" _id with hub.item.value.set
                    2 after broadlink learns ir code.
                    3 when learn_ir_code resets to 0

                      This is not the broadcast response we need, though. This is the one that resets the item back to 0 when the learn stops. A successful learn causes two broadcasts: this one to announce that the device has stopped learning, and a separate one to announce what was learned. It's that second broadcast that is missing the IDs we would need to tie it back to either the item or the device.

                          Just to report, the hub.item.value.set in msr 1.0 is working fine. I can send ir/rf codes, and initiate a rf/ir learn mode, i just have to listen for broadcasts to pick up the codes and copy and paste into msr.
                          P.s. congrats on the release of 1.0 and thank you.

                            You should also be able to use remote.send_codes. The format of the code data can either be a base64 string (in the format base64:datadatadata), or a list of byte values as decimal or hex values separated by spaces or commas (e.g. 0x00 0x12 0x2a 0xfe 0x14 for hex, 0 18 42 254 20 for decimal, and mixing is OK).

                            Should it support Pronto?

                                Whoops! I'll have that fixed in the next build. Remind me what package you are using (docker or bare metal, RPi, Linux, Windows?)

                                    OK. Got your log file; thanks for that. Found the issue, will be fixed in today's "latest" build (21201).

                                      great, just one last question, I take it remote.send_codes will just send ir codes?

                                        Yes, do you need RF as well?

                                          No, just confirming. I can use x_ezlo_device.set_item_value
