Run rule on dimmer change?

Reactor latest-23302-b7def56a; docker on Ubuntu 20.04; With Vera Plus and Ezlo Plus controllers

I'm trying to tie the dimmer level of a dimmer switch to the dimmer level of a dimmable device (fan canopy light controller). In the triggers section of the rule I can select "dimming.level changes" as the condition, and I can get said dimming level in an expression that I then use to set the dimming.set attribute of the dimming device in the Set Reaction section, but this only works when going from 0--><some value>. When going from <some value> --> <some other value> or <some value>-->0, this does not work, because the rule is already set (it went true with the first change, and hasn't gone false yet - this is expected behavior as per the documentation)

I can fix the <some value>-->0 issue by setting the Reset Reaction, but how can I get the rule to run - and set the entity dimming level - every time the switch value changes?

(I tired to upload a screen shot of what I have, but I just kept getting errors)

CallMeBot new interface?

Hi @toggledbits

Apparently, there have been some changes to the CallMeBot interface, as the service recently stopped working for me. I've tried several configurations, and none of the ones below are working.

# CallMeBot CallMeBot: profiles: default: # description - A friendly description of this profile (for menus) description: Default Profile New # # api_url - Access URL for CallMeBot API being used api_url: http://api.callmebot.com/start.php # # api_key - (if needed) API key (use for Facebook API, WhatsApp API, etc.). # If the API you are using does not require it, leave it # commented out or blank. api_key: "177xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxTGk" # # source - (if needed) Source field for some APIs. If yours does not require # it, leave it commented out or blank. #source: "source-value" # # phone - (if needed) Phone field for some APIs.

I have already tested using the phone or the user.

Looking at the action log, I see that it starts, runs and finishes without any problems.

Motion activated light now showing activation delay

Hi,

For years I have been using a rule that uses motion detection to maintain or turn on a light. For a while now, I noticed a significant delay (20 to 30 sec.) between the motion detection and the light coming on.

Here is my setup:

I am running the docker Home assistant 2023.11.3 and MSR 23302 on a Raspberry Pi 4 with raspian 64 bit. Motion sensor are coming from my DSC alarm panel via the HA Envisalink integration. The lights switch are zwave and are handled by HA via zwave-JS-UI.

I am not a software developper nor a specialist but here is, based on the log files of HA, MSR and zwavejs, the sequence of event as I understand it, on Nov 28 :

03:41:48 Home assistant sensor detect the motion. (from HA sensor log)
03:41:48 Reactor log report the "Living Rule Light On Set"
03:42:18 Both the zwavejsui and zwavejs logs show the light activation requests/commands

This is a delay of a little more than 30 ses between time that MSR activate the rule and zwavejs receive the request to turn on the light.

When I look at the detailed MSR logs, I can see that there is some time between the initial rule activation and its completion that correspond to the time line above. Again, without understanding everyting, the delay seemed to be coming from MSR (Or my rules/configuration). Here's the MSR Log:

Access via Synology

Here are the 2 Rules that control the light:

Living Room Light On

Screenshot 2023-11-29 114149.jpg

Living Room Light Off

Screenshot 2023-11-29 114451.jpg

This is not a major issue but it is a change from the initial behaviur I was having.

Thanks in advance

Using Zooz ZEN32 Scene Controller as Trigger

Hello all, I recently installed a Zooz ZEN 32 scene controller and was looking for some guidance on how I could use a button press as a trigger in MSR. The scene controller has a total of 5 buttons that can activate scenes based on single press, double press, triple till 5 presses and also a press and hold. Currently in MSR I see an entity for the scene controller itself and separate entities for each button.

Using the MSR native Z wave controller I can see the button.state (shows if it was pressed single double...) and button.since which shows the last time the button was pressed. The issue with the button.state is that say I press the scene controller button once its state is single but it never "resets" it's state will remain single. So if I press the button again the trigger won't work (pulse action won't work here because the state never changes).

Going through HA similar issue but instead the x_hass.state is used and the number pertains to how many presses 0 means one press, 3 means 2 presses and so on. But again the x_hass.state never resets to an "off" state so retriggering the rule will not work if you press the button again.

Before I tackle this in other ways using separate rules, input booleans and expressions is there any other way I can go about this? To me I need to trigger that is something like button_pressed.single but I don't see that option.

No logs since there is technically no issues and no real examples since I am stuck at the triggers part lol.

Z Wave 0.1.23194

Upcoming Release -- Plan for the Future

Beginning with the next Reactor release, there will be some dependency changes and new deprecations.

These apply to users on bare-metal installs only. If you are running Reactor in a docker container, the following does not apply to you — the container supplies its own dependencies and will be up-to-date.

All versions of nodejs prior to 18 are now end-of-life (no maintenance), so starting with the next Reactor build, they are deprecated for use with Reactor; they will continue to work until March 1 2024 (about 3 months from now), so you need to upgrade before that date. The recommended version of nodejs is 20, which is the current long-term support (LTS) version (EOL in mid-2026). Version 18 is the prior LTS version and still supported (by OpenJS Foundation and Reactor) until mid-2025, so it's a good fallback if you have issues getting version 20 running. As of this writing, the current 20 is 20.10.0, and the current 18 is 18.18.2. Both have been tested with Reactor 23302.

Now, nodejs version 20.9.0 seems to have dependencies that are not easily resolved on Raspberry Pi OS (formerly Raspbian) Buster (Debian 10). If you are using an RPi running Buster, you should select nodejs 18. That gives you until mid-2025 to upgrade both nodejs and the RPi OS to a more modern version (the current RPi OS is bookworm, Debian 12, 64-bit). The tools/rpi-install.sh script will be enhanced for the next build to try to discern what is reasonable for your system and make the appropriate upgrades; it is safe to run even on a current Reactor install.

If you are running an OS other than Raspberry Pi OS, try for nodejs 20, but use 18 as a fallback if you can't get it installed and running.

Honeywell TH6320ZW2003_T6_Pro_ZWave shows hvac_control.state="heat" in zwaveJSController

@togglebits I have another one for you.

HASS controller shows hvac_control.state="heating, cooling or idle".

ZWaveJSController controller shows hvac_control.state="heat, cool, or idle"

I believe hvac_control.state="heating, cooling or idle" should be what the ZWaveJSController should show.

"heat", "cool" or "off" are values assigned to the hvac_control.mode attribute.

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 thermostat in hopes it can help.

Thanks in advance.

Dismiss -option for updates

Certain MSR updates are irrelevant for some users (e.g. only Hass related changes when you are not using one), so I was wondering if there could be a dismiss (firmware) feature similar to Hubitat?

Then when you'll use "dismiss", a blue checkmark would disappear until there's a new firmware.

case statement with a single when clause fails

Noticed that if I try to use a case statement, I'll have to have multiple when clauses, otherwise I'll get syntax error.

(I tried to include a screenshot, but got parse error from the forum...)

The following works:

case when condition == true: "This is true" when condition == false: "Now it is false" else "Something else" end

But this will end up with syntax error:

case when condition == true: "This is true" else "Something else" end

[Solved] HTTP API no response on perform action

When doing something like curl -o - 'http://localhost:8111/api/v1/entity/ezlo>device_61baf509129e0725bd9f80e1/attribute/dimming.level' I get a response with current dimming level for example "0.6"
but curl -o - 'http://localhost:8111/api/v1/entity/ezlo>device_61baf509129e0725bd9f80e1/perform/dimming.set?level=0.8' sets the dimming level to 0.8 but gives no response which causes the connection to eventually timeout.

Doing it in a browser performs the action but leaves the tab with a spinning wheel of a loading page.

Is this expected behavior?

PS I am trying to attach an image but getting "Something went wrong while parsing server response". Also, not sure if this is related to Reactor/ZwaveJSController implementation or the actual Z-Wave JS UI docker version.

Hopefully I have provided the necessary information.

Rule's sustain / delay reset etc. value parameterization thru entities

Some background
I have two simple rules that will toggle my carport's down lights depending on outdoor brightness when I open the motorized sliding gate. I.e. if the brightness is 1500 lux or less and the gate is opened, the down lights will be switched on, and when the gate is closed, the lights will switch off after 3 minutes. Pretty simple 'coming home' functionality so to speak.

Here's the switch off rule showing the 'hard coded' thresholds

Screenshot from 2023-10-31 18-44-46.png

The problem
I would like to parameterize the lux and switch off delay using entities. I bet the lux threshold can be done with local expressions the same way I do my WC background music scheduling:

weekdays_enabled = (time() >= time(getEntity( "mqtt>wc-music-weekdays-enable" ).attributes.string_sensor.value )) && (time() <= time(getEntity( "mqtt>wc-music-weekdays-disable" ).attributes.string_sensor.value ))

But the since I'm using the Condition must be sustained for functionality for the switch off rule, I have no idea how to parameterize that with some entity value.

So my question is that is it even possible to do this using entities or could there some other way to accomplish the same functionality? In this example it's the sustain -value but I might need same kind of parameterization for the delay reset also.

I have to go with entities, since my own HA system will provide the threshold values for the MSR through the MQTTController.

Help would be appreciated @toggledbits

Have reactor shut off a light with no motion unless I turned it on manually

So I have a strange one here and I don't know if there is a way to do this or not. I have blue iris triggering a vera virtual switch when AI detects motion on my front porch. Reactor then triggers the light, this works perfect. I want to shut the light off when there is no motion, this also works perfect. What I am having am issue with is when someone turns on the light manually I don't want it to turn off after motion is detected. Example: we are expecting a pizza so we turn on the porch light. 5 min later amazon delivers a package, trips motion. 10 min later Reactor is going to turn off the light. If I manually turn on the light before motion is detected I do not want reactor to turn it off. For the life of me I cannot figure the logic out. Does anyone have any ideas?

Variable Value select array part

Hi @toggledbits

Is there any way that in the trigger the Varable Value could select the desired part of the array?

For example, I could have a global variable VarTEST$[Part1, Part2, Part3] like this: ${{ [TestText, 5, 3] }}. Use the Variable Value to validate a VarTEST[Part2] == 5 trigger.

What am I doing today? I've defined 3 global variables:

3ae76d20-ffce-4f66-9002-1b4d6cc7c3c3-image.png

And I validate each variable.

3bcc1d62-2ce1-41ca-9f00-f98578c0d597-image.png

In short, I would like to have a global variable of the array type, and be able to select which element of the array I would use for validation in a trigger.

Thanks

Need Some Help Using browser_mod (HA integration)

Hello all I am trying to run the service call browser_mod.popup from MSR to HA. If I enter the service data in YAML like this:

dismissable: true autoclose: false timeout: 120000 content: type: custom:mushroom-alarm-control-panel-card entity: alarm_control_panel.home_partition states: - armed_home - armed_away layout: vertical show_keypad: true target: device_id: e684ad00b76e330e57a8c915dc367bc4

For some reason the target portion of the data isn't sent and therefor the popup shows up on all my browser mod devices not the only one I had specified in the device_id. Here is a snippet of the reactor log, no errors that I see just looks like the target info isn't being passed on.

[latest-23242]2023-10-12T23:51:50.795Z <Engine:INFO> Enqueueing "Main Floor Tablet Alarm Arming Popup<SET>" (rule-lnmn8t54:S) [latest-23242]2023-10-12T23:51:50.800Z <Engine:NOTICE> Starting reaction Main Floor Tablet Alarm Arming Popup<SET> (rule-lnmn8t54:S) [latest-23242]2023-10-12T23:51:50.813Z <HassController:INFO> HassController#hass action x_hass_system.call_service([Object]{ "service": "browser_mod.popup", "data": "data:\n dismissable: true\n autoclose: false\n timeout: 120000\n content:\n type: custom:mushroom-alarm-control-panel-card\n entity: alarm_control_panel.home_partition\n states:\n - armed_home\n - armed_away\n layout: vertical\n show_keypad: true\ntarget:\n device_id: e684ad00b76e330e57a8c915dc367bc4" }) on System#hass>system succeeded [latest-23242]2023-10-12T23:51:50.816Z <Engine:INFO> Resuming reaction Main Floor Tablet Alarm Arming Popup<SET> (rule-lnmn8t54:S) from step 1 [latest-23242]2023-10-12T23:51:50.817Z <Engine:INFO> Main Floor Tablet Alarm Arming Popup<SET> all actions completed.

So I used an online YAML to JSON converter since I am not the good with JSON and it converted the YAML to this:

{ "data": { "dismissable": true, "autoclose": false, "timeout": 120000, "content": { "type": "custom:mushroom-alarm-control-panel-card", "entity": "alarm_control_panel.bar_partition", "states": [ "armed_home", "armed_away" ], "layout": "vertical", "show_keypad": true } }, "target": { "device_id": "34ae76561192c4bb0b64fb07ad0f01c1" } }

When I use this in my reaction the popup doesn't show up properly. Something pops up but it's just a grey bar. Interestingly the JSON version actually does target only the device_id I had specified. Here is the reactor log output:

[latest-23242]2023-10-12T23:52:39.875Z <Engine:INFO> Enqueueing "Main Floor Tablet Alarm Arming Popup<SET>" (rule-lnmn8t54:S) [latest-23242]2023-10-12T23:52:39.880Z <Engine:NOTICE> Starting reaction Main Floor Tablet Alarm Arming Popup<SET> (rule-lnmn8t54:S) [latest-23242]2023-10-12T23:52:40.291Z <HassController:INFO> HassController#hass action x_hass_system.call_service([Object]{ "service": "browser_mod.popup", "data": "{\n \"data\": {\n \"dismissable\": true,\n \"autoclose\": false,\n \"timeout\": 120000,\n \"content\": {\n \"type\": \"custom:mushroom-alarm-control-panel-card\",\n \"entity\": \"alarm_control_panel.home_partition\",\n \"states\": [\n \"armed_home\",\n \"armed_away\"\n ],\n \"layout\": \"vertical\",\n \"show_keypad\": true\n }\n },\n \"target\": {\n \"device_id\": \"e684ad00b76e330e57a8c915dc367bc4\"\n }\n}" }) on System#hass>system succeeded [latest-23242]2023-10-12T23:52:40.293Z <Engine:INFO> Resuming reaction Main Floor Tablet Alarm Arming Popup<SET> (rule-lnmn8t54:S) from step 1 [latest-23242]2023-10-12T23:52:40.294Z <Engine:INFO> Main Floor Tablet Alarm Arming Popup<SET> all actions completed.

My limited skill with JSON has kind of backed me into a corner here, so if anyone could help me format it correctly that would be great!

[SOLVED] New iblind and zwaveJScontroller/MSR not communicating

I installed a new iblind this evening and it is appearing in ZWaveJS. It is operational thru Home Assistant just fine. It is operational thru the HA ZwaveJS plugin just fine.

Where it is non-responsive is in MSR for some reason. The entities are there. Adding the node to a Reaction and then attempting to run said Reaction nets me this:

Please note the highlighted logpart - no other iblind has this. In addition, in MSR>Entities several show as null rather than having a value as the others do.

I tried deleting all Entities associated with this device from MSR and then refreshing ZWaveJS in Home Assistant and restarting MSR - the Entities return but in the same state/s.

Admittedly, it's been a very long three weeks at work - I could have missed something obvious during setup but I sure can't figure what it is.

Goal: When in away mode I would like the blinds to shift from tilted to closed if I happen to still be out at the point sunset passes.

The reason this is an ask for sanity check is I'm trying to use Groups in my Reaction.

So I'm triggering on mode = away but also trying to see if I can trigger on the sun...

...to trigger my Reaction groups:

In MY mind this reads as "mode must be away and the sun is between sunrise > sunset use the first group Reaction or sunset > sunrise and if that happens whilst in away then use the second group Reaction.

Worst case I'm already sipping eggnog and can just split it apart into two rules but I wanted to see if this would work and make it all self-containable.

And about eggnog. What is nog, exactly...? Until I know for certain, I'm not drinking the stuff.

The 'can I fool the sun' condition group is basically useless in this scenario. You have two conditions, one being between sunrise and sunset and the other being between sunset and sunrise. At any time of day one of those conditions will be true so there's no real need to have it there.

If I am following correctly you want your blinds to close either if you are away or if the sunsets? If that's the case in your triggers you want to make it an OR group and in there one trigger should be the away trigger and the other trigger should be between sunset and sunrise.

In the actions settings you just wanna have the blinds close and in the reaction if so pleased you can have them open but I assume you don't want them to auto open.

@Pabla Maybe explaining in this way will help:

Daytime, blinds open. I leave, house flips to away and the blinds tilt to 20% open. If I come back, no problem, they open again. Easy.

BUT.

What if I'm away for the bulk of the day and the sun sets and now it's after dark?

My usual evening mode has the blinds closing and I'd like that to happen here.

So:
- away during the day, blinds tilt to 20% open
  away continuing uninterrupted after sunset, blinds should close like they would if I were home in evening mode
My sunrise/sunset OR is simply to act as the Condition noting the sun has "changed".

@gwp1 said in Sanity check on rule: using the sun as a condition for Group reactions:

My sunrise/sunset OR is simply to act as the Condition noting the sun has "changed".

Yeah... doesn't work that way. between sunrise and sunset is true during the configured period, so the parent OR group is true. When sunset arrives, the first condition goes false but the second condition goes true in the same evaluation/instant, so the group remains true because both conditions were never false at the same instant, you just traded one for the other. There is no "dead period" between the two conditions, one changes to the other instantly, so the OR group never changes state (remains true forever with the conditions given).

There are many choices to get to what you want. I'm going to leave it to your creativity to imagine/solve. Hint: you can do it without changing the structure of this rule or its conditions and reactions, just by choosing condition options carefully in the right places.
