Local expression in Rule does not evaluate as they used to do

Iron: QNAP NAS
Running MSR and HAAS on Docker (QNAP Container Station)
Reactor (Multi-hub) stable-22203-81a2f3cc

Office light in example is joined to Vera-Plus

Hello all,

I decided to upgrade MSR to latest-amd64. It wasn’t until afterwards that I noticed all rulesets broken. So unfortunately I’m not sure if this was already broken before or I broke it after upgrading. Yes poor judgement on my part for being complacent.

Never the less, this is broken globally across all rulesets, even though I can see the triggers change to “True” (Turn green).

For this example, I have a boolean helper toggle in HAAS called “TV MODE HAAS SW”.

When toggled ‘on’, MSR should turn my Vera office light OFF and it doesn’t, but if I manually select the play button to the right of the line in the Set Reaction, it executes properly and turns off the Vera office light.

The MSR Rule does not have any Constraints set.

I can see in MSR it recognizes the state changes yet doesn’t execute the “Set Reaction”.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Log files from reactor.log and screen shots to follow:

I'm seeing a lot of conflicting information in your report. 22203 is not latest, it's the older stable (and your log entries confirm this as well). Your office light being turned off in the SET reaction you show is on Hass, not on Vera.

I would upgrade to the true latest 22274 for starters; I won't really spend time troubleshooting on anything but the current (latest development build) version (i.e. if you're having a problem, make sure you test on the latest version before seeking help -- see the posting guidelines).

Apologies for the confusion.

I was trying to indicate, although poorly, that I did install 'latest' at first which didn't correct the problem and then opted to go with 'stable' thinking that was the better choice.

As far as the MSR Set Reaction using haas vs vera per my report, I was testing both and neither worked when the rule is triggered, however the light does turn off when I manually select the play button next to the Set Reaction Rule for either the set haas or vera case. Unfortunately I neglected to reflect that correctly in my report and hence the mismatch / confusion

There are quite a few people on latest, including myself on three systems. If there was a problem with reactions, I think there would be more than one report. Please try reinstalling latest, restart, and then confirm in the log entries that you have the correct version running (as of this weekend that would be latest-22274). I suspect your attempted upgrade didn't go as planned.

Howdy, Honestly I didn’t really think this was an MSR Set Reaction pandemic and was more than likely a locally induced error of some sort.

This is fixed now based on something you said in your last reply suspecting an update problem which pulled me out of a loop and put me on the right path.

Summary: Upgrading to latest-22274 fixed the problem but QNAP’s Container Station using the Docker Hub Tab would only download and install latest-22179. Not sure if this is a QNAP bug or feature.

Detail: For the benefit of any QNAP NAS users out there I’ll explain.

Using QNAP NAS’s Container Station, searching for “reactor” in the “Docker Hub” tab I would select "latest-amd64”, but it would only install latest-22179 and not the actual latest-22274. Picking up the NAS and shaking it a few times, turning it off and on again, or putting more quarters in it didn't help.

In the past I didn’t find a need to do the following since I believe Container Station should be doing this all by self, and if not, user error on my part.

So to fix this I ssh’d to the QNAP NAS CLI and ran.

docker pull toggledbits/reactor:latest-amd64

Which returned the following, I was feeling optimistic seeing the "pull completes' "

[basai@basai ~]$ docker pull toggledbits/reactor:latest-amd64

Status: Downloaded newer image for toggledbits/reactor:latest-amd64

[basai@basai ~]$

After this completed, now when I went to create a new docker by going into container station, searching for “reactor” in the “Docker Hub Tab” and selected “latest-amd64” it correctly installed latest-22274 and also pre-populated the NODE_PATH variable correctly which wasn’t happening before.

Problem solved and MSR is working as expected again.

Thanks you for your help, MSR Rocks!

@basai said in MSR Set Reaction not working anymore:

putting more quarters in it didn't help

LOL! That inflation is hitting everything, isn't it?

Glad it worked out!
