Script action and custom timers
therealdbT
Sorry to write here without trying, but I’m flying today. Am I correct if i say that script action with alarm() makes it possible to execute a reaction in a given interval, lets say 15 seconds or 3.5 minutes? That sounds amazing, since I’ve used weird tricks, including a custom controller, just to do this.

Requesting a proper ARM64/aarch64 Docker image (Pi 5 support)
M
Hi, I'm in the process of migrating from a Raspberry Pi 4 (ARMv7) to a Raspberry Pi 5 (ARMv8/aarch64), but I’ve run into an issue: there is no proper ARMv8/aarch64 image available. None of the existing images run on the Pi 5 - they all exit immediately with code 139 (segmentation fault), which typically indicates that the binaries inside the image are not compatible with the ARM64/aarch64 architecture used by the Pi 5. Would it be possible to publish a correct ARMv8/aarch64 (linux/arm64) image? Building one should be relatively straightforward using docker buildx with multi-arch support. For example, my own Node.js images are built this way: docker buildx build --push \ -t <localrepo>/<project>:<tag> \ --platform=linux/arm64,linux/amd64 \ --file ./apps/<project>/Dockerfile . This produces both the AMD64 and ARM64/v8 variants automatically. Also, as a side note, it may be best to avoid using Alpine as the base image for the ARM64 build, since musl-based builds often cause compatibility issues and unnecessary headaches. A glibc-based base image (e.g., Debian or Ubuntu) tends to work far more reliably on ARM64, especially for Node.js applications. @toggledbits - tagging you in case you missed this. Thanks, mgvra

Reactor Version 25310 : Office Light control via rule in reactor no longer working since last update.
P
Hello, I currently have an office light (connected via a Leviton Zwave Dimmer switch) controlled from a Gen5 Aeotech Zwave switch installed on my Synology 720+ NAS. I run HA(2025.11.10) in a virtual machine from my NAS and Reactor on the container manager of the same NAS. Prior to updating to 25304 the rule I had set to turn the light on to a specific dimming value worked correctly. Now the rule appears to follow the decision tree, however the reaction does not trigger setting the dimming or turning on the office light? Strangely I can still turn the light on and off as well as dim it directly from HASS..? I have tried using the ''try this action'' button in the rules reaction setting and it will not control the light and does not throw an error flagÉ Please help, P.S Reactor has been rock steady for me over the last few years and I'm a big fan of this solution.

Handling Dead Entities and Renamed Entities
PablaP
Hello all.. been a minute! I recently rebuilt my Z wave network and migrated to a new z wave stick. In order to prevent any downtime I kept my original z wave network up and ran a docker version of Z Wave JS UI with my new controller. This way I could add device by device without having any devices down. I finally moved all the devices over to my new stick today. The final step was to migrate everything from my Docker instance of Z Wave JS UI to the HA add-on of Z Wave JS UI. However during this migration some of the names didn't populate correctly which I later managed to import back into Z Wave JS UI. The issue was in Reactor it is stuck on the default names and the entities are not updating. I removed the controller from Reactor, restarted, hard refreshed, and added the controller back however the new entity names have not updated. Also it seems like the old entities from my previous instance of Z Wave JS UI are lingering and not being marked as dead (I believe a certain amount of time needs to lapse before they're marked as dead in Reactor). My goal is to basically purge all the entities for the 'ZWaveJS' controller in Reactor so it can pull all the updated entity names and only the entities that exist in Z Wave JS UI. I cannot find a quick way to do this, I know entities can be deleted one by one, but with over 100 entities this would take long I am guessing that if I added the controller with a new name in in the Reactor config it would pull the updated entities and names but I think that would break my rules since the entity IDs would change (I made sure to name all the entities the exact same as they were previously to prevent this issue).

[MSR] reactor-mqtt-contrib package for additional MQTT templates
therealdbT
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/dbochicchio/reactor-mqtt-contrib 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

[Reactor] Copy&Paste of Rules
therealdbT
I don't know if I'm the only one, but managing more than one Reactor installs, the need to have some sort of copy&paste for rules has grown on me. While I understand the technical challenges, I'm wondering if a "god mode" where I could copy the raw JSON rule and paste it into another rule could be an advanced, flag only feature that could benefit power users. I know I can copy the JSON file and proceed, but I must stop Reactor and when doing maintenance, it's more clicks to do. Just an idea

[Reactor] Help with scene 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.

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?

    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://.

                        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.
