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.
I'm running:
Reactor latest-24190-bd310acc, Bare-metal on Fedora WaveJSController [0.1.23326] Home Assistant: 2024.7.0I 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.
Good morning,
I'm going through my ruleset this morning, trying to get away from haas>blahblablah entries and completely migrate them all to zwavejs>xx-0 entries where possible.
I have 3 Aeon MultiSensor 6 devices in my home, all USB powered.
When using Haas entries, I see an entry for hass>binary_sensor_guest_bedroom_multisensor_home_security_motion_detection, and motion_sensor.state (primary)
Screenshot 2024-07-25 at 8.25.53 AM.png
Under ZwaveJS, this entry appears to be missing.

I'm fetching certain data five past every hour, but I would like to do it closer to the hour, e.g. 1 or 2 past (but not at the hour).
I experimented with the following rule that almost works (triggers also at the hour which is not the intention). Any advice for a solution?
It would be nice to have an ability to bookmark a direct link to a dashboard item. In my case I would use this feature to access a virtual switch directly.
Hi @toggledbits
Would you please consider adding an extra sublevel in the rulesets?
I have grouped my rules in rooms/ areas. This works great for me, but I would also like to group rules for the same functionality (in a room). This would make the rules easier to find and name.
Please let me know if this is an option. Thanks!
@togglebits I am curious as to why the tilt_sensor.state (primary) = NULL. I believe it should show true or false. I have to use binary_sensor.state instead in my rules.
Again, not sure if this is related to Reactor/ZwaveJSController implementation or the actual Z-Wave JS UI docker version. I have copied, below, the attributes of the tilt sensor in hopes it can help.
Thanks in advance.

ZWaveJSController version 23254

@toggledbits,
I have this device attached to my system, but use a DSC panel. If you need testers to move forward, I'm happy to help.
I'm curious what your thinking the use case is for this. I currently have it integrated into HomeAssistant, and it works fine for the most part. The one thing I can't do is bypass zones, which I would like to have the ability to do.
Are you looking at more direct control for the panel, as opposed to having to jump through HA (or another system) first?
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.I have the following ruleset which I though had been working well until this morning when I noticed it's not.
I've put four weather conditions in an in array and one of them is the current weather condition - but the rule is not true. Now the cloud cover percentage is not yet met but this is an or rule so as long as the "Current Conditions" are met then it should go true.
What's the obvious thing I'm missing here? (I've tried spaces/no spaces in the in and no difference.)
Hi,
Running the latest MSR latest-24152-3455578a with the latest HA 2024.6.1. When trying to call a service I get the following in the MSR logs. Is this a version mismatch? I am not seeing anything in the HA logs.

Some background
I'm trying to integrate a Zigbee device into the MSR using zigbee2mqtt bridge and MQTTController. The device in question is a cheap mood light that has following properties that I'd like to control:
I'v already managed to get the switch part working and can toggle the light on/off. Also the brightness value is mapped back to MSR. In zigbee2mqtt it has a value range from 0 to 254, so this the reason for the expression:
expr: 'payload.brightness / 254'Here's the entity definition (don't know whether the type should be something else than the Switch)
zigbee-lidl-mood-light: name: 'Lidl Mood Light' friendly_name: 'Mood Light' type: Switch uses_template: lidl-moodlightAnd the corresponding template (NOTE: rgb_color has not been defined in this example):
lidl-moodlight: init: "zigbee2mqtt/%friendly_name%/get/state" query: "zigbee2mqtt/%friendly_name%/get/state" capabilities: - power_switch - toggle - dimming primary_attribute: power_switch.state events: "zigbee2mqtt/%friendly_name%": "power_switch.state": json_payload: true expr: 'upper(payload.state) == "ON"' "dimming.level": json_payload: true expr: 'payload.brightness / 254' actions: power_switch: "on": topic: "zigbee2mqtt/%friendly_name%/set/state" payload: 'ON' "off": topic: "zigbee2mqtt/%friendly_name%/set/state" payload: 'OFF' set: topic: "zigbee2mqtt/%friendly_name%/set/state" payload: expr: "parameters.state ? 'ON' : 'OFF'" type: raw toggle: topic: "zigbee2mqtt/%friendly_name%/set/state" payload: 'TOGGLE'The problem
In order to control the brightness or the RGB color values, I would have send a JSON payload in corresponding actions. But I have no idea how to define it in the template. The reason why the switch part is working is that the zigbee2mqtt accepts also plain ON / OFF / TOGGLE string payloads in that case.
But the brightness should be controlled with the following payload:
{"brightness": 196}And the RGB color like:
{"color":{"rgb":"46,102,150"}}Here's the link for the documentation (the Exposes part defines the messages).
So how should I define the JSON payload for example for the dimming action? It definitely should be some sort of expressions since I have to map the MSR real value (0...1) to (0...254) for the zigbee2mqtt.
actions: dimming: set: topic: "zigbee2mqtt/%friendly_name%/set" payload: expr: ????? type: jsonAnother problem is the RGB value. I could use the rgb_color capability for the setting but the problem is that the zigbee2mqtt only reports the current color in hue/saturation or xy coordinates.
Here's an example of published message after setting the color:
Topic: zigbee2mqtt/Mood Light QoS: 0 { "brightness":254, "color":{ "hue":240, "saturation":100, "x":0.1355, "y":0.0399 }, "color_mode":"xy", "color_temp":574, "linkquality":96, "state":"ON" }I would have to map those values back to RGB, but is it even possible with existing constructs in MQTTController's templates?
Help would be appreciated @toggledbits

That's probably more appropriate to post on Mantis for @toggledbits, but since I know there's at least @Crille publishing templates, my intent with this post is to open a broader discussion.
Long story short: I'm starting to slowly add new template for Shelly Plus and I noticed I'll end up with a dozen more templates, all similar but simply different in trivial details, all sharing a large amount of code and all needing special cares when fixing bugs/adding features (as the latest wifi_status addition).
So, I'm wondering if it's time to start thinking of some sort of inheritance in templates, where I could just create a generic shelly_gen1 and use it as a base for shelly_relay, and this be used as the base for shelly_relay_power and so on.
I could probably achieve this with some sort of scripting on my side to generate templates via code, but maybe there's a better way of doing this, or it's already on the radar.
I need a handful of victims volunteers to help test previews of the next build of Reactor. A long-standing request was for "a simple login mechanism," but in practice, adding user authentication and competent access control turned out to be a pretty big project with a lot of big changes on both server and client sides. It's a bit more than I'm comfortable testing myself and springing out to everyone at once, so I'd like to work with a small group to put it through "sea trials."
Major changes/features include:
User authentication with hashed password storage; User group configuration with application restriction (admin, dashboard, API); Detailed control over API access, with user- and token-based authentication/authorization; Improvements to the HTTPS service; Improvements to UI coordination with the core for Rules and Reactions.If this sounds like something you'd like to help with, drop me a reply here in this thread or privately.
[Solution: Reactor 24115 is not compatible with MQTTController > 24120]
Reactor latest-24115 bare metal.
All MQTT entities stop working after updating MQTTController to 24142, downgrade to 24120 and they are back. Templates and configured entities has not been changed between versions.
I'm not sure if uses_template should be replaced by ìnclude in entity configuration in reactor.yaml but I guess not, I've tried it and it did not do any difference.
I have not tried to update Reactor to userauth version.
Example entity in reactor.yaml that uses MQTTController included template:
entities: "takflakt_kallare": name: "Takfläkt källare" topic: "Källartemp" unit: "" uses_template: tasmota_generic_relay init: "cmnd/%topic%/POWER%unit%"Any hints? Do you need more info, please let me know.
Log from startup:
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 🙂
Is the following config correct?
- id: time_series name: "Out temp" capabilities: temperature_sensor: attributes: value: model: time series entity: "hass>sensor_outdoor_temperature" attribute: "temperature_sensor.value" interval: 5 # minutes retention: 20 # minutes aggregate: wma primary_attribute: temperature_sensor.value type: ValueSensorSpecifically, is "depth" directive needed/mandatory here? Reason I'm asking is that I'm not getting a "final" value in MSR, only debug values are shown:
temperature_sensor.units=null temperature_sensor.value=null x_virtualentity.last_request_time=null x_virtualentity.request_failures=null x_virtualentity.template=null x_virtualentity.timeseries_debug=[{"time":1716537360000,"value":22.1},{"time":1716537660000,"value":22},{"time":1716537960000,"value":22},{"time":1716538260000,"value":21.9},{"time":1716538560000,"value":22}]Good morning,
I apologize if this subject has been covered. I did try the search, but I'm not coming up with any topics on my issue.
I'm running userauth-24137-57b41335, bare metal installation on Fedora 39 Server.
I have a rule set up to turn the Eco mode off on my Nest Thermostat when the thermostat is set to Away (Rule State: Away Mode), the user (Driver) presence in my car changes to true, and the destination is set to home.
93804f7c-62d6-42c0-ae04-ff602011a6fd-image.png
This works fine for most days, where I'm headed home from work (commute is about 45 minutes). What I don't want it to do is set change it to Eco mode if my ETA is more than an hour.
There is a sensor/entity for Time to Arrival when the Destination is set. What it appears to provide is the Time OF arrival/ETA, not time until arrival. If it was Time until Arrival, and it was a numeric value, I could simply test if the value is less than 60 and be done with it.
I pulled up the history through Home Assistant for my morning commute and this appears to be what it is providing.
c2a32739-c84f-4a05-95d9-73793ed818f5-image.png
So what I need to do is to do a calculation of the the ETA from the sensor value and subtract the current time, and get a value in minutes that I can determine if it's less than 60.
I believe I can do this with the local expression, but I don't see anything for the system time, or local time. Also, do the local expressions update themselves if the sensors do?
Good morning,
I'm running userauth-24137-57b41335 on Fedora 39, bare metal installation.
ZWaveJSController 0.1.23254
Home Assistant:
Core, 2024.5.3 Supervisor, 2024.05.1 Operating System, 12.3 Frontend, 20240501.1I'm trying to troubleshoot a Dynamic Group Controller and notification alert that I've set up for low battery level.
In my Reactor.config, I have the following lines:
name: "Dynamic Group Controller" implementation: DynamicGroupController config: groups: "zwavejs_dead": select: - include_group: "zwavejs" filter_expression: "entity?.attributes?.zwave_device?.status == 3" group_actions: true "low_battery": select: - include_capability: battery_power filter_expression: > entity.attributes.battery_power.level < 0.35The idea here is that I should only have members of this group that have a battery level below 35%. When I go into Entities, I show a whole slew of devices, none of which have a battery level below the threshold.
a77e445b-ab78-4752-a624-3c4117f34f90-image.png
I also tried setting up a rule to generate a push notification once a day, but with all of the group members, I've had to disable the rule. I believe I have it set up correctly, but I'm not 100% sure. I want the notification to tell me the battery level for that device as well.

Can anyone point to me what I may have misconfigured to get these results?
I should also note I'm only interested in ZWaveJS devices. It's showing me battery status for my iPad and car as well, which I don't need it to send me.
[SOLVED] 'not in' being ignored latest-22240-3b3254d6

Updated to
latest-22240-3b3254d6
tonight before leaving the house. Upon arrival at my friends a half mile away I see that the house is in bothDay
andAway
modes (which is causing havoc lol).Connected via VPN and examined some rules. It seems like the
not in
field is being ignored in these rulesets:Obviously I'm home now writing this so the
Away
will show asfalse
but rest assured it was correctly showingtrue
and this rule incidatedSET
just as theDay
rule did.Evening
did the same thing at sunset - ignored that I was actually away and took over.
Thoughts?
-
@catmanv2 I should clarify: these rules are untouched since before the release and have been working for a very long time.
As I said in the original post, these screenshots were taken when I was at home again in the evening. So the status, if you will, is showing
Evening
astrue
because it is.It wasn't true, however, when I was not home... yet it triggered at sunset completely disregarding the fact that I was away.
-
There was no work done in that area for this build, and hasn't been for quite a long run of builds now. It's even far longer for those specific operators (in/not in). Not sure what else to offer here. Everything looks as it should... am I missing something? The XOR on the parent group is an interesting choice, but shouldn't matter. If you can show it failing, that may be more helpful. I'll do some focused testing on it later today, but it passes my unit tests, so...

@toggledbits I won't be leaving the house until later this evening. I've done a cursory restart of MSR. Will advise upon my return tonight and capture some logs.

@toggledbits re the
XOR
... that's leftover from removal of other criteria. I've cleaned that up to the defaultAND
, not that it should play any role as it's been like that for quite a while. -
Just a curious onlooker here... why aren't you just letting the Hubitat set these statuses? Is it just a desire to keep all the logic in Reactor? I have Hubitat Mode Manager configured to set Day at sunrise and Night at sunset +30 except when the mode is Away. It sets Away when all users leave, sets Day when any user returns between sunrise and sunset +30, and it sets Night when any user returns between sunset +30 and sunrise. I'm using the Hubitat app for presence sensing, and it looks like you're using HASS, so maybe that makes keeping the log in Reactor a better way to go.
I have rules in Reactor that depend on the status (like switching modes in Blue Iris or changing modes on IP cameras), but the basic status determination comes from my Hubitat and it works flawlessly. Now that I said that, it's going to fail tonight

@gwp1 Also I will need all of your storage folder, and a complete description of the problem with enough specifics ("it changed" -- what is "it"? And how did it change and why is that not right? And the time of the event to correlate to the logs) and how each of the rules and reactions involved is intended to work. Full logs. No snips. Screenshots as well.
I will PM an upload link here for you shortly.

@toggledbits Uploaded.
"It" refers to
Mode
.The ruleset for
AWAY
is based on presence.Day
andEvening
have their rulesets which govern their use and both include the exception ofAway
which was not being honored since I deployed 22240 (but had been previously as these rulesets are older.)I've begun looking at them in earnest to see if there's fat that could be trimmed as they are very restrictive in my attempt to avoid false triggering of presence which opens the garage door.
Day
should be from sunrise and/or alarm clock time to sunset.
Evening
should be from sunset until 0130 ET,Night
mode enablement (manual) or, ifAway
, 2330 ET.
Away
should be any time presence is not detected by Home Assistant plugin iCloud3. -
Got your files. I need timestamps for what you want me to look at.

I went on a quick fishing expedition to see if I could bulk search out anything obvious.
Unfortunately, your storage doesn't completely sync with your logs. There are IDs for rules logged that don't exist in storage. If you've been editing/restructuring rules trying to solve this since the last time you caught the problem, that could cause this. So my comment below may reflect what I'm seeing before those edits, but nonetheless...
Preliminary review of the logs shows that your "Away" logic triggers your "Day" logic and causes a house mode change. At 23:16:30.474Z the system received notification from Hubitat of a house mode change to Away. This appears to be stimulated by a global reaction called "Mode:
Away" a few milliseconds earlier. This causes the evaluation of large number of rules. It is about two seconds before that reaction completes, having set a global variable as its last step at 23:16:32.162. Among the activities in that span of time is that a rule called "Day (from Away if before sunset)" (which I don't have in your storage, so I can't examine it) goes set, and its Set reaction starts the global reaction called "Mode: Day", which then sets the Hubitat mode to Day (and that event makes a round trip back to Reactor at 23:16:32.514 causing other changes). That's a bit suspicious. Shouldn't it stay in Away? It seems like Away would be an overriding mode?Anyway, at the moment, I'm saying that "not in" works fine, and you have a logic error/unexpected interaction. There appear to be a lot of complex interactions between several reactions that are run by the rules, and I suspect you have things stomping on each other. You may also be able to see this in the Rule History and Reaction History widgets in the status view. And of course, you can always confirm the current mode Reactor thinks the system is in by looking at the Mode entity, and comparing that value to the "current value" in the status for various rules.

@toggledbits What you described is exactly what I was experiencing - I'm reviewing some rulesets now. I think, over time, I've overcomplicated things due to false positives in presence detection. I miss Lobo lol
What still doesn't make sense is how this was working fine until 22240 dropped in. Unless something way downstream of this was impacted by 22240 and that ran itself back upstream resulting in my experience.
Thanks for looking at this - I'm going to begin a top>down review.

@gwp1 Changes in 22240 were really limited, and not related to Engine work at all. I think it's more likely you had a race condition between conflicting rules, and the upgrade changed the timing of the race. That can be complicated by the performance of the hub (i.e. variances in how fast it responds to requests), etc. Keep in mind that when you have a reaction start another reaction, they both run at the same time; the starter doesn't wait for the started to finish. And further, there's no guaranteed order to which resumes if both delay to the same instant in time. Unlike Reactor for Vera, which was pretty single-threaded because of the way the Lua API worked there, MSR is very asynchronous and concurrent.
One structure that can help concentrate logic into more viewable/manageable blocks is something like this:
Here, the only rule condition is that the Mode changes. The set reaction has groups with constraints for each possible mode, and the actions in that group only run if the current mode matches the constraint. But it keeps everything in one place. I don't think a lot of people are using reaction groups with constraints yet, and I'm not saying it's the right answer for you, but it's something to keep in mind.
-
@toggledbits This is very intriguing. I admit to having a ginormous amount of rules and conditions (ie, TV on closes the Living Room curtain upon Evening mode - but what if the TV was already on prior to Evening mode, we don't want the curtain closed during the daytime hours, and what if I ran out to the store and the house switched to Away mode and then back again etc.)
-
@toggledbits So how does this approach account for the breaking out of lighting, HVAC, blinds, etc.? Is it recommended to link out to other rulesets or drive the actions right from here? That could/would result in quite a list of things happening under each of these groups, no?

@toggledbits said in 'not in' being ignored latest-22240-3b3254d6:
I don't think a lot of people are using reaction groups with constraints yet
I am and I like it a lot, since you’ll end up with less rule sets and it’s definitely easier to thinker. I’m also using groups with constraints in global reactions.
