Hi, @toggledbits!
I have a question about the execution behavior. See the code below, and I'll explain the situation.
12957c3e-ff06-46c9-929d-b53f936665df-image.png
This is a routine that, at a certain point, determines that the desktop on which the VM hosting the Reactor is located receives an instruction to perform a shutdown (Shell Command).
When this happens, the desktop is turned off, and then Hubitat detects by a "ping" that the VM has been down, waits 15 seconds, turns off the power to this desktop, and then 15 seconds later turns on the desktop with the Reactor VM again.
After restarting the desktop, the VM is loaded, and the Reactor is triggered. Still, the following problem occurs: I expected that when the rule was continued to be executed again, the next step would be executed, that of the 900-second delay after shutdown, but the Shell command is executed again, and then it goes into a loop, the rule does not advance.
To break the loop, I first have to make the VM not load, change the desktop password, and then start the VM. In this case, Reactor generates an error when trying to execute the Shell Command because of the invalid password and then finishes the routine following the 900 delay step.
b58b0d4a-d6c1-4fe3-bab7-4222acea9607-image.png
Is my interpretation that when it returns, the routine should continue to the next step that has not yet been executed incorrectly? Or does Reactor, through the shutdown command, interpret that it hasn't finished this step and keep trying, which is the correct reaction?
Thanks for clarifying.
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.Hi @toggledbits ,
I'm slowly moving my ZWave network from Vera to ZWaveJS. I successfully cloned my ZWave network using a spare Vera Edge (a new post for the community later when I'll be fully back from vacation) and I'm testing a couple of things before moving everything to ZWaveJS.
In the meanwhile, I have a couple of venetian blinds connected to Fibaro Roller Shutters 2 (FGR222) and I'm using some proprietary ZWave commands to control the tilt position, that right now I'm sending via Vera (with some code from the old place, messing with this):
af7f883c-f49e-419c-a2fe-8669572e3792-image.png
The ZWaveJS values are reported via this:
x_zwave_values.Manufacturer_Proprietary_fibaro_venetianBlindsPosition=0 x_zwave_values.Manufacturer_Proprietary_fibaro_venetianBlindsTilt=0I hope there's a way to expose a separate device to control the tilt position directly, without doing the mess I'm doing now. Let me know if you need some files. Thanks.
As per @toggledbits request, new topic.

Good morning,
I have a service MQTT service that needs a restart occasionally. The add-on (Smartbed MQTT) is for the smart bed base for my bed. It has a "safety light" that I can control from HAAS & MSR as a light entity, and also moves the head of the bed to a preset at bedtime, and then lies it back flat in the morning The problem is, from time to time, the light becomes "unavailable" Restarting from the Add-ons tab in HAAS always fixes it, but I should be able to detect when it happens when "light.tempur_pedic_safety_lights" is not true or false, i.e., unavailable.
What I don't know how to do is how to restart that service. Does anybody have experience in restarting add-ons from MSR?

RPi5-64 (8GB) Core 2024.7.3 Supervisor 2024.08.0 Operating System 13.0 Frontend 20240710.0Hi-
I have an android media player entity publishing from HA. I watch for changes in transport state and media title to trigger some actions.
Though those attributes report as expected, the set rule is being throttled for possible flapping.
There is an attribute for media position that continually updates, I suspect it is causing the evaluations to run constantly.
The workaround I am seeking is to ignore those attributes in HA or MSR. Anyone know how, or have a better idea??
Thx
Btw- this problem has spanned versions of HA and reactor, but I am current on both. Too current on HA for transparency, but the issue has survived several updates.
Referencing an expression inside a reaction is in the form of ${{ expression }}. When referenced inside my shell command to set the watering delay duration for my Rachio sprinkler system, it just does not work.
If I enter "86400" instead of referencing the expression lWateringDelayDuration, it works. Either I am doing something wrong or referencing an expression inside a shell command is not supported.

As per @toggledbits request, here's a new topic.
My Fibaro Door Window Sensor 2 (FGDW002) is always reporting as open, even if
x_zwave_values.Notification_Access_Control_Door_state=23 x_zwave_values.Notification_Access_Control_Door_state_simple=23which means that the door is closed. It was working before and I could downgrade to test, if necessary. Thanks.
Hi @toggledbits,
I'm not sure if it's a bug or something, but I have a lot of Fibaro Double Switch (FGS223) as follows.
In the example, it's zwavejs>65-2:
energy_sensor.units="kWh" energy_sensor.value=0.21 power_sensor.units="W" power_sensor.value=0 power_switch.state=false x_debug.dt={"entity_class":"Switch","match":"deviceClass.generic.key=16","capabilities":["power_switch","toggle"],"primary_attribute":"power_switch.state"} x_zwave_values.Binary_Switch_currentValue=false x_zwave_values.Binary_Switch_targetValue=false x_zwave_values.Meter_reset=null x_zwave_values.Meter_value_65537=0.21 x_zwave_values.Meter_value_66049=0 zwave_device.capabilities=[37,50] zwave_device.endpoint=2 zwave_device.failed=null zwave_device.impl_sig="23326:1:22315:1" zwave_device.manufacturer_info=null zwave_device.node_id=65 zwave_device.version_info=nullWhen operating endpoint 2, it's triggered endpoint 1. Endpoint 1 is fine. This is causing a lot of troubles, as you may imagine.
Also, endpoint 0 is not really a switch, and the associated actions are not doing anything at all. Maybe these could be removed. Also, I see battery_maintenance and power_source capabilities, all with null values.

Good morning,
I'm having an issue with controlling my Zooz Zen14 outdoor double outlet. I should be able to control each outlet individually, and this does work when use Home Assistant (haas) from Reactor.
When I use zwavejs, I see 3 entries:
8305eccf-a99e-421f-ad18-1f08da9c8c9c-image.png
The first entry is for the overall device. I can turn both outlets on and off (in theory) by setting the power_switch state to on or off. This does turn them on and off when using zwavejs.
When I go to the individual outlets, performing the power_switch.on or power_switch.off actions turns them all (main, 1 and 2) on or off, and not just the individual outlets. When I perform the same action from haas, turning on outlet 1 will turn on the main switch and 1, but not 2.
I reviewed the logs for that node and I'm not seeing anything obvious.

I think this feature request could be accomplished with the use of two or more rules, but it would be great if there was a way to wait for an event or trigger to occur before continuing on in the reactions.
For example, I have a rule that will turn on some exterior lights if you arrive home after the porch lights have been turned off. Right now this rule randomly will turn off between 5-10 minutes after the person has entered the geofence. On some occasions this 5-10 minutes isn't long enough, say if you are unloading the car or something. I would like to kick off the reaction, but pause it part way through and wait for the door to close and lock, then continue it on. Hubitat Rule Machine has a "Wait for event" option, but I really want to keep all my logic within MSR.
Hi,
Running the latest version 24212 on docker.
I want to run some appliances when my solar panels deliver over 1200 watts to the net. In this example the dryer. So when the dryer is turned on, the rule starts (SET). There first is a 3 min delay in case the dryer is turned on manually, that is group "Check if auto start is needed". If the dryer is not running, the status is set to waiting, and the shown Repeat Until should wait as long the power delivered is higher than -1200 for at least 120 seconds and the status is still waiting. Higher as the value is negative. For some reason that repeat until "DR Wait for solar high or manual start" looks skipped. Nothing in the logs. What am I missing?
Reactor Automation.png (g_DryerStatus should have been "waiting" and not "running" the moment the log was captured, so that should not be the issue. Unless it takes some time for a variable to actually change?)
Cheers Rene
I have got some warnings i reactor that a rule is throttled because it update rate is over 120/minute, happens now and when with a week or two in between.
The rule monitors my house power consumption when charging my car, and if if consumption risks to kill a main fuse, it stops the charging.
Thought I was clever when I in Constraints added that my car should be located at home and charging is active, but apparantly it wasn't clever enough...
I had understand it that if Constraints isn't true, then the triggers isn't evaluated.
I have a Shelly 3EM meter that measure three channel/phases and updates every second. So just for this three channels it is 180 updates per minute...
And now when I start to take a closer look I can se in my logs that this rule is evaluated with every value change on any of the three phases...
So ~11MB of logs only goes back in time around 16 hours...🙀
So what is the best solution?
Should move my "Constraints" in an new trigger group, before my existing triggers?
Rule as it is now

Hi!
I'm wondering if it's possible now, or if it's something that can be solved in a future version, to be able to remove the entities that no longer exist and are crossed out all at once. Currently, you have to mark them one by one, which takes a lot of time. Is there any way to make this more efficient?
I'm on MSR version 24212-3ce15e25.
Thanks!

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:
![](https://github.com/fluidicon.png)
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,
I'm trying to figure out if there is a way to evaluate if a command was completed and retry if it did not complete.
I have 14 iBlinds 3.1 z-wave controllers in my home. 95% of the time, they work just fine. Occasionally, I'll get a blind that does not open on the first attempt. When I go into Home Assistant, and manually open or close the blind, it works.
I have 3 reactions set up for each room. One to open, one to close, and one partial open for sun glare. Each of them is set up as below.
5afc9924-4300-4718-9e23-8855c4a3a9fd-image.png
The reactions are set up to wait for 5 seconds before going onto the next blind, so the z-wave network doesn't get overwhelmed.
In addition, the set command to run the reactions has "Wait for completion" checked.

I also have a routine set up whenever a z-wave device reports as non-functional (dead), it'll get pinged to wake it up. This usually works to wake them up.

Appreciate any ideas to make this more reliable.

- 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()
andisRuleEnabled()
functions to expressions extensions; - Implement
set
action forlock

-
Build 21236
- Prototypical support for Ezlo Atom and PlugHub in EzloController;
- Be less aggressive with module loading in app.js for more permissive first-time startup;
- Simplify reaction stop for child tasks;
- Numerous small bug fixes/gnats in UI;
- Documentation updates and corrections.
Note that Generation 1 Atoms are supported in this version, but only through the remote access API (so it's cloud-dependent). Gen2 and later Atoms/PlugHubs can run with local/LAN access (no cloud dependency).
-
Build 21237
- EzloController: Tone down the warnings about disabling certain ciphers for Atom; that's only applicable to local access (don't need warnings when remote access is used).
- PR 0000245: Fixed an issue with a hang caused by the attempt to actively stop a reaction that is blocked waiting for a child reaction (a reaction group) to finish.
- PR 0000252: Enable power_switch capability for siren category on eZLO hubs.

added. See the updated documentation. - Direct browser (via HTML attributes) to disable spellcheck on various fields where it's inappropriate (e.g. HTTP Request action URL, headers and data).
- Updated to latest lexpjs, which has itself been updated to (hopefully) support Unicode alphabetic characters in identifier names.
- Allow expressions to have Unicode characters in their names (parity with lexpjs).
- Additional preparation for localization in UI and engine. For example, non-US users should notice that lists sorted alphabetically now appear in a more natural order for their configured language, rather than "ASCII" (character code ordinal) sorting.

attribute. - HassController: implement
x_hass_system.call_service
on system entities.
-
Build 21267
- Change the evaluation algorithm for global variables to make them reactive. That is, global variables are now automatically reevaluated when dependent global variables or entities (from use
getEntity()
) change. They will also drive evaluation of rules when a rule-based expression or trigger condition references a global variable that changes. - A new version of lexpjs supporting the above changes is being used; this version includes local scope for the interior of most statements, which may break some expressions (in particular, those that breach etiquette and create variables inside loops but access them outside).
- First version with localization capability. Users interested in localizing the user interface for their language/country can read the how-to documentation.
Expressions Changes
This release comes with some significant changes to the operation of global expressions in particular, and some expression tweaks throughout.
First, the expression language has been given the concept of scope; specifically, the statements
each
,first
,do...done
,if then else endif
now have local scopes for their interior expressions. Variables created in the interior of these statements are not visible outside of these statements (they are implicitlylocal
), unless the variable already exists in an enclosing scope. This is probably not going to cause anyone much heartburn on existing expressions with these statements. I don't see many of you pushing the limits in this area of the expression language that would make it an issue. We'll handle exceptions as they come up.Second, and more importantly, Reactor now evaluates and treats global variables differently, and I think you'll agree this is a good change and brings more useful, even expected, behavior. The details:
- Global variables are now reactive; for example, when a global variable that contains a
getEntity()
expression detects that the entity is modified, the global variable's expression is automatically recalculated. In previous versions of MSR, the variable was not re-evaluated until a rule requested the global variable's value. - Global variables are recalculated when they reference another global variable, and that global variable changes (for whatever reason). If, for example, you have a rule that periodically fetches JSON data from a web site and stores the response in a global variable, and other global variables that draw on that data, those dependent variables will be reevaluated when the variable holding the response is modified.
- Rules will be reactive to global variable changes that do not involve entities. Previously, MSR rules would only re-evaluate on a change to a global variable if that variable involved a
getEntity()
expression. In fact, Reactor was not reacting to the variable change, it was reacting to the entity change. Now, Reactor truly reacts to the global variable change, which means it will also respond to the change in values of case #2 above -- if a rule is dependent on a global variable, any change to that global variable for any reason will cause the rule to re-evaluate, and based on its conditions, possibly change state. - You can disable the dependency and auto-recalculation of a global variable, because sometimes its useful to do that.
Given these changes, it is pretty easy to create reference loops. There's nothing stopping you from creating a variable A and compute its value from B, and then create B and have it set its value based on A. This will get you loop errors and a stop on evaluation; it won't be subtle. Similar abuses between global variables and rules and the overzealous use of Set Variable actions can also lead to rule loops throttling. Any time you use Set Variable in a rule-based reaction where that rule also uses the variable in triggers, you are running the risk of such a loop, so be careful.
Reactor for Vera doesn't have global variables, so at the time it was implemented as a new feature of MSR, simplifying assumptions were made. I hope you'll agree this is a useful evolution of their behavior.
Docs are updated, so make sure you check them out.
Localization
This is the first release that has the bulk of my recent work on localization. I'm barely passable at German, certainly not enough so to do a translation, and know enough Spanish to order a beer and get slapped by members of the opposite sex, but that's about it for me for languages (I used to teach Latin in an elementary school, but I doubt there's much demand for that translation). So while the system now recognizes the language configuration of your browser and host system automatically, it won't be able to present in any language other than US English because that's the only string file available. If any native speakers of other languages (including UK and Australian English) would like to step up and do a localization, let me know — that would be your work product to own and distribute as an add-on (e.g. through Github, etc.) to the community, and optionally include in Reactor distributions if you're willing (as a redistributed/third-party work with attribution on the About page). The US English file, which is the reference for all strings and starting point for translations, can be found in this Github repository: https://github.com/toggledbits/msr-localization

Build 21275
NOTICE: This revision incorporates a breaking change to the recently-introduced
matchEntities()
expression function. See below.- VeraController: Devices of type
...:FloodSensor1
now use theleak_sensor
(specific) capability; they maintain their previous use of the genericbinary_sensor
capability for backward compatiblity with existing automations. - EzloController: Fix a stack overflow that could occur under certain boundary conditions.
- OWMController: Fix a broken context initialization for
lexpjs
causing user-configured "extra data" fields with expressions to throw a soft error and report an incorrect (null) value. - Improve interaction between Engine and UI when global expressions are created: they are now given an initial evaluation and their dependency tree built at that time. Previously, a rule reference or manual UI interaction (e.g. "Try Now" button press) was required to initialize it.
- Improve interaction between Engine and UI when global variables are deleted: the deleted variable is now removed from the Engine's evaluation dependency tree to avoid spurious "Expression Not Found" exceptions in the log for the then-deleted variable. These would stop after a restart, because the dependency tree was rebuilt at that time, but it should not take a restart to fix the tree.
- Fix an error in the parameters of the
isRuleSet
andisRuleEnabled
expression functions that would cause a constructor error when global expressions using these functions were initialized at system startup, before the Engine had loaded the rules. This error was exposed by the changes made to support global variable dependency graphs. - When deleting system objects, wait until all notifications have been given and returned, to assure that the object being deleted is not actually deleted before the notified object has a chance to do whatever it needs to do. The former behavior had no adverse effect; this was a change to gain new behavior necessary to support the global variable dependency tree update on delete mentioned above.
- Fix a bug in the recording of the timestamp of modification of a global variable; it was using real time rather than virtual time, so when the engine was configured for "Test Time", it was recording incorrect (i.e. non-test time) values.
- The check for circular dependencies in the evaluation of global variables was relaxed to allow self-references (e.g.
series = push( series, value )
). - BREAKING: The
matchEntities()
function now returns only a list of canonical IDs for matched entities. You will need to use thegetEntity()
function to fetch current data for the entity if you need it. This was done because the previously-returned list of entity objects could grow "stale" (the data in the objects reflects the state at the time, not ever-changing and ongoing state as attributes change). And yes, this is exactly the kind of thing I said I try to avoid, but sometimes you just don't know all the side-effects until you see the thing in the wild. Sorry, everyone. - New expression functions:
fileExists()
,fileRead()
,fileWrite()

SetVariable
action on Vera hubs.

Build 21281
- In prior versions, a reference to a variable (rule or global) that does not exist would cause an alert and "fail soft" by returning null. This (old) behavior actually hides such errors and makes them more difficult to locate, and generally speaking, you shouldn't be referring to things that don't exist. The new behavior is to throw an exception during the evaluation, which will more clearly highlight the error and make it easier to find and correct. If for some reason you still need the old behavior, you can set
deprecated_undefined_global_soft_fail
to true in theengine
section ofreactor.yaml
, and such errors will soft-fail as before. The old behavior is deprecated, however, and will be removed in a few months. - PR 0000260: Fix failure of HTTP Request (really underlying variable handling) to notice change in array of objects returned by request.
