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.
Hey @toggledbits
One thing that bothers me while doing work on new systems/new features, is that I cannot copy&paste actions, and I cannot drag&drop between set and resets.
#1 is for when I want to copy an action between different rules opened in two separate browser windows, while #2 is when I just need to flip a bunch of actions in the reset, or move some logic back and forth.
Both will be appreciated, but I understand the technical challenges. Thanks!
I'm currently on version 26011. I understand that the aarch64 image is no longer supported. So, I therefore need to update to the ARM64 image. Can anyone possibly suggest how I update my docker compose.yaml file (see below). Ideally I'd like to keep my existing reactions etc. rather than start from scratch.
# Multi-System Reactor template docker-compose.yml (version 22160)
#
# Change the lines indicated by "DO"...
#
services:
reactor:
container_name: reactor
environment:
# DO change the TZ: line to set your local time zone.
# See valid TZ list: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_database_time_zones
TZ: GB
#
# DO NOT change this path. Your directory location is in "source" below.
REACTOR_DATA_PREFIX: /var/reactor
# DO change the image below to the one you are using (e.g. armv7l or aarch64 for RPi 4)
image: toggledbits/reactor:latest-aarch64
restart: "always"
expose:
- 8111
ports:
- 8111:8111
volumes:
# DO change the /home/username/reactor below to the directory you created for
# your local data; DO NOT change the /var/reactor part
- /home/pi/docker/reactor:/var/reactor
- /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro
tmpfs: /tmp
If you are using the armv7l docker image, the OpenJS Foundation that publishes node is no longer producing 32-bit builds as of v24. That means the last supported LTS version of node for armv7l is v22, which will go End-of-Life in May 2027.
Therefore, the Reactor armv7l image is now deprecated and will only be produced until node v22 goes EOL, and I will not publish armv7l images beyond that date.
If you are running an RPi 3 or earlier with Reactor, you are on this image, and will need to upgrade hardware to a 64-bit model and use the arm64 image. If you need help getting it done, ask in this category.
@toggledbits I pulled the image (well, Watchtower did) and within minutes the whole system went offline.
The log looks like it ends with 26143.

I can SSH to the VM. Alas, I do not have the previous image for 26143 as I'm a little too quick sometimes on housekeeping.
Thanks again for the recent release. One thing I wanted to ask about integrations and their 'loaded' condition:
Is there something similar that applies to the entire controller? So if I have (for example) a helper in HA that is used to trigger an automation in MSR, is it possible to effectively exclude it until MSR is 'happy' that HA is stable and its values can be trusted?
This, actually goes back to the issue I had. I've got a use case where a 30 second delay from triggering is a bit of a PITA (sustained for...) and was just wondering if there's a way of knowing that 'native' HA functions are working correctly.
Probably asking wrong, or it's hideously obvious, but...
TIA

Hi. First off this is an unsupported version of HS 2026.5.2 so happy to be told it's that.
Currently running latest-26130-3d2a489a on a Debian Buster bare metal VM.
I've been working on moving away from OpenLuup completely and up until now have been using some virtual switches t manage things like 'Is there anyone home'
I have a binary sensor in HA that provides the same thing
binary_sensor.someone_home which appears in MSR as
hass>binary_sensor_someone_home
HA shows on or off. MSR shows true or false
All fine. The odd thing happened after an update of HA and a restart.
From HA
13:07:04 it turned off
13:07:11 it turned on
However that does not appear to have been reflected in MSR which turned all the heating and so on off as it is supposed to do, and I got all my notifications as I should.
Here's a huge log section (sorry) as I wanted to show how MSR identifies that HA is up and running at 12:07:08 (Zulu) but triggers the 'There's no one here' at 12:07:17 some 6 seconds after HA updated to on.
Checking in the interface MSR said the status was 'False' while HA stated 'On'

This is hardly the end of the world as HA restarting is rare and I simply hit refresh on the entity in MSR but is this some kind of race condition or something that needs addressing?
Hoping I've given enough data to make it sensible

Another philosophy question: Modes
-
General logic says
Dayis sunrise to sunset andEveningis sunset to sunrise noting that, at some point, you will manually triggerNightwhen retiring to sleep.That's fine.
Except...
What if your daily wake times fall before sunrise? Do you apply the theory that your "day" starts when you wake or stick with day starting at sunrise?
The conundrum for me here is that my HVAC kicks into gear when mode =
Day. If my wake time during parts of the year fall outside "official"Daythen it's cold in the house when I'm crawling out of bed.How are others architecting this?
-
I use a variable called dark to represent the sun status. This is used to run lights and so on. And then I have house modes, and that represent the house status. If I’m moving from night to home and it’s still dark, for example, I’ll turn on lights.
Same is for heating, where thermostat are increased if we’re home, otherwise are staying at a given comfort temperature.
I also have party, house, green mode and mute flag, and all are used to drive lights, announcements and co accordingly. Those are flags, so I could even mix them (ie it’s dark, party is on - or it’s away, green mode is on, etc).
Some mode (ie mute) are intrinsically turned on/off based on other sensors, ie to avoid announcements when everyone except me is sleeping in the house. -
I've tried to measure darkness to control lights, but just end up using times before and after sunset

@catmanv2 I have an Ambient weather station in my backyard. I determined what solar radiation level was "the one" when it became darkish in the house (during storms as well as end of day.)
Works a treat, it does.

Define what you mean, here, please: "flags".
I like your overall concept of splitting out actual modes from other controls. Interest is piqued.

I've looked at some of these. I have plenty of light sensors already and I just can't get a good lumen level
Can you share your model?

@gwp1 they’re just virtual switches. In software development we usually refer to them as flags. You could enable or disable a flag to influence the corresponding features. I’m usually combining many of them. I also have brightness sensors to control my blinds.
