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?

[Reactor] Help with screne controller cycling logic
therealdbT
I’ve added a couple of Shelly Wave i4 as scene controllers and I’m planning to add more, since I can just use standard buttons instead of battery-powered scene controllers, which also looks better aesthetically. That said, I’m struggling to figure out how to write a simple rule that cycles between states every time I press a button. Example: Light 1 ON → OFF, then Light 2 ON → OFF. The part I can’t get right is handling the case where Light 1 or Light 2 might already be ON independently of the rule. Maybe it’s just too much sun and relaxation clouding my brain, but any hint would be appreciated.

Expose MSR entities
CatmanV2C
Probably a really dumb question. Currently I am using the owntracks_sensor for tracking phones being in region in MSR and it works great. Digging around with Home Assistant and toying with some dashboards, is there any way of exposing that sensor to HA trivially? I could set MSR to trip a virtual switch in OpenLuup which can then be exposed to HA (with all my other Vera devices) but that feels a bit in-elegant if I can do it directly. Any thoughts? Apologies if the ask is not clear/ TIA C

Comment in Globa Expressions
Tom_DT
I have several Global Expressions that are set by a rule so the definition area is blank. I'd like to add a comment in this area that explains what is setting the value. Commenting in this area breaks the remote setting. Any way to document what is setting the GE?

Unofficial thread for compatibility
tunnusT
As there are statements about compatibility for home assistant versions in MSR new version announcements (e.g. "HassController: Bless Hass to 2025.7.3"), I thought it would be good idea to track other controllers as well. As an example, I can confirm that build "latest-25208-c53e8513" works with Hubitat Elevation C-8 platform version 2.4.2.134 using Maker API.

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.

Can't customize home page

I foolishly let my system wipe all cookies this morning and with it my settings for my MSR home page. Once logged back in I can no longer remove errant panes nor is the + available to add new ones. Brave Browser v1.80.122 (Jul 16, 2025) What have I done?! Will check other browsers on my M1. UPDATE: Safari exhibits same behaviour. I've tried both sans last-four public key entry and with - no change.

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

🎉 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?

    Hey Patrick, had to switch over my HA VM from VirtualBox to VMware since VirtualBox stopped playing well. Anyways I updated the IP address to the new VM IP and deleted the Long Lived Access Token and created a new one just in case (copy pasted the new token into the config file). Tried rebooting both the HA machine and the MSR one too and MSR is still not connecting. The only thing I have not tried yet is creating another controller entry, but I am worried it may create all new entities for everything forcing me to redo all my logic. Here are some logs:

      Check the (Home Assistant) settings for the http component and make sure those make sense for the new IP you are on. Also make sure the websocket_api component is configured. Did you make any other configuration changes? Enable SSL/TLS? If you were using SSL/TLS on the old VM, did you issue a new certificate for new one?

        I am not sure what to check for the http component in HA, however I confirmed that web socket is still in my configuration file. I have not made any other config changes, basically restored from my backup from the old VM. I wasn't using SSL/TLS on the old VM so I don't think I need to mess with it.

          Doing a bit of research on the HA forums and looks like someone has had almost the exact same issue and came to the solution of disabling https. Haven't tried that yet since I am unsure if that would be safe.

            Try adding ignore_cert: true in the config section for HassController (after source and same indent level). You may additionally need to change the ws:// in the source to wss://. If that works, SSL/TLS is enabled in Hass and you are on a self-signed or invalid certificate (but no changes to Hass needed).

            Also, if your Hass http component configuration has ssl_certificate then SSL/TLS is enabled. That's another way to tell.

                The log snippet shows the ws:// result but no wss:// result. I'd like to see that, because it's probably a different message and maybe more useful. The messages you are showing clearly indicate it wants you to use wss://.

                    And that's also with ignore_cert: true, correct?

                        OK. All I can suggest at this point is that maybe you have the old IP address of the previous system in Hass' configuration somewhere and it's messing things up. Beyond that, I'm out of ideas. Maybe shut down that VM, create a new one, install Hass fresh and clean without restoring the prior configuration, just use a default configuration, and see if you can connect to it. If you can, it's definitely something in the old config/restored install. If you can't, maybe something in the VM configuration... I don't know. This usually isn't much of a challenge, and HassController isn't doing anything tricky, it uses a standard Websocket library in wide use for its connections, so I'm doubtful there's suddenly some bug or incompatibility there.

                          @toggledbits Will try creating a new Hass install and see if I can get MSR to work. In terms of the existing config, none of the entities will get auto deleted since the controller is offline right? Also if I clear out he Hass config completely from MSR, restart MSR then reconfigure as if its the first time entering a Hass config in will this overwrite all my existing Hass entities?

                            Just use a different ID for the new HassController instance... so if you had id: hass in the first config, use hass2 in the second.

                            It probably won't matter anyway, as the IDs should be stable... the new entities would have the same IDs as the old, be of the same type, etc.

                              @toggledbits Just quickly set up a new Hass VM and am seeing the same errors. Tried with both ignore_cert: true and false no luck. This seems to be a VMware issue, I did do look through settings but couldn't really see anything that would stop MSR from connecting.

                                To be specific, you need to try ws:// (ignore_cert does not matter for this case), and wss:// with ignore_cert: true. Both cases.

                                Beyond that, I'm at a loss. Are you running Hass in docker? Are you running Reactor in docker? I'd look at all of that, too...

                                  @toggledbits Neither are running in docker, both run on their own VM on the same host. Just the difference now is Reactor is running on a VirutalBox VM and MSR is on a VMware VM

                                        So did a little research and it looks like Websocket is not supported in VMware workstation 16.. I just bought an ODROID cause I am tired of tinkering with all these issues I have had with VMs

                                          Just to close this thread up, it was a VMware issue as stated above. Moved over to an ODROID and MSR connected no problem.
