Rule condition shows TRUE in UI but Rule never transitions to SET — survives full restart
N
Build: latest-26221-b25bb3e3, Docker on Synology. Hi, I have a Rule whose Trigger/Constraints reference other Rules via Rule State ... is TRUE. At some point it stops firing. Expanding the rule's condition tree in the UI shows every Trigger and Constraint condition green/TRUE — confirmed live by walking into the room and watching Motion go true in real time. Rule History shows no new SET, just old reset entries. Tried, on the same rule, same evening: recreating the trigger conditions with fresh IDs, recreating the constraint conditions with fresh IDs (flat and wrapped in a new Group — wrapping in a Group produced one SET, but it didn't reproduce on repeat attempts with the same structure), and finally a full container restart with a verified-correct saved rule. Still no SET, even with a fresh live motion event right after the restart. Separately, I found that this rule (and its 10 per-room clones) share identical internal condition/group IDs with each other — leftover from a batch clone done months ago, never regenerated. Not sure if that's related, since fixing the IDs didn't reliably fix the symptom either. Has anyone seen a Rule State condition show TRUE in the UI without the Rule ever producing a SET, surviving a clean restart? Thanks in advance

DynamicGroupController and attributes
therealdbT
Hey @toggledbits I'm back to trying to optimize a couple of things based on dynamic group. First of all, I think I found a typo in the doc: primary_attribute: "binary_sensor.state" primary_attribute_value: | d = false; each id in members: d = getEntity(id)?.attributes?.power_switch?.state or d, d I think the correct code snippet is d = false, All that said, my use case for dynamic groups is to group 3 different climate devices, so I could easily command them at the same time. Commands are good, but sometimes I want to check if any of the devices are on, and that's easily done with a similar snippet as the one you have in the docs. But this is limited to the primary attribute, while I want to have any of the attributes in the group to be driven by a similar logic (while all are null in the group). ie, access hvac_control.mode and see if any of the unit is set to cool, or heat. Is that possible, without re-defining an expression in each of my rules? Thanks!

Reactor (Multi-System/Multi-Hub) Announcements
toggledbitsT
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.

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. Updates: (the latest versions first in the list) OK: build "latest-25264-2fbe9217" with Hubitat C-8 platform v. 2.4.3.123

Ooops - Deleted Reactor Ex Machina II
R
I accidentally deleted Reactor Ex Machina II (REM II) from my Reactor rules. I tried to recover it by deleting the .json and .dval in the Rules subdirectory and then recreating it from Togglebits original posting, but that did not work. Does anyone know how to recover REM ll ?

[Solved] DynamicGroupController updating members issue
CrilleC
Edit: Solved in latest-26221. Bare-metal latest-26193 I have this group: "OKforLarm": name: OK för Larm select: - include_controller: vera - include_capability: door_sensor filter_expression: entity.attributes.door_sensor.state It contains the entities I expect but behaves a bit odd. When I open vera>device_10097 the entity attribute door_sensor.state changes to true but it won't show up as member in the group, when I also open vera>device_10095 they both shows as members and when I close vera>device_10095 it disappear from the group but when I close vera>device_10097 it lingers in the group until I restart Reactor.

[MSR] Copy&past of actions and/or drag&drop between set/reset
therealdbT
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!

Upgrade advice - upgrade from aarch64 to ARM64 image
T
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

      @alminsk I use portainer succesfully and have the same volumes setting as you. I followed a guide from someone long time ago, and it's been a "do and forget" thing. I'm not a programmer, so I can't tell why somethings are as they are.

      My network setting are different:
      5fa9129a-9744-4731-8b50-3a8f50b2f6a7-image.png

      My setup is on a HA Blue (odroid n2+) and these values are also different:
      9fb11882-3563-4c17-9c16-fe6f563658e7-image.png

      Under Command & logging everything is the same except for the last line:
      8d6512e0-fc90-435e-a776-1257edd06599-image.png

      I hope this helps... As I wrote, I'm not the expert here, or know what every parameter means. Best of luck!

        @Fanan Unfortunately, at least one of those differences is incorrect for you. The NODE_PATH would be correct as @alminsk showed in his screen shots; it should be /opt/reactor:/opt/reactor/node_modules. If it is not this exact value, some features of Reactor will not function.

        The value of tag is not relevant.

        @alminsk In the face of all of this, I decided yesterday to make Portainer a supported environment, so I got it installed on a spare Pi, did a couple of Reactor installs, and wrote down the steps, here: https://reactor.toggledbits.com/docs/Installation-docker-portainer/

          @toggledbits Hi Patrick,
          Looking at your Portainer doc, found a minor error I think. In second paragraph in first section you have "For most Linux most systems," . Doesn't make sense.

          Also, should "The stable branch builds have seen action for a while and are more... well... stable." Actually be "The stable branch builds have not seen action for a while and are more... well... stable.

            @toggledbits Thanks! As I mentioned before; these things are like greek to me, so I'm very thankful for all assistance. I changed the NODE_PATH. Strange that it has worked as a charm so far!

                Hello everyone. I ran into a problem: I can't save the rules.
                Screenshot_1.png Screenshot_2.png

                I assume that the problem is in the path of the user file. Created a directory along this path.

                Screenshot_3.png

                The Portainer starts the reactor container . But the rules are not saved.

                      Maybe I haven't figured out how to work with MSR yet. I used to work with Reactor in VeraPlus, but it works a little differently.

                        If the save button is faded green as shown in your screen shot, that means you have an error in your rule that you have to fix before saving. Your rule screen shot has everything collapsed/hidden; this is not helpful.

                            @alminsk Now that you've been working in MSR for a short while it's time to revisit the manual. You'll find things that may not have made sense or that you didn't see a use for now make much more sense.

                            Focus on how to understand the signs MSR is giving you to help you troubleshoot.

                            I, too, came from the Vera Reactor plugin. "Same but different" applies here - but in all good ways.
