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:

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.
Hi @toggledbits
I'm trying to use OWM, apparently, I receive the correct information, but after a while, the MSR disconnects.
My configuration is as follows.
- id: weather enabled: true implementation: OWMWeatherController name: OWM Weather config: # Place your OWM API key here (remember to enable the controller after adding your appid) appid: "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" # How often weather is allowed to be refreshed. This helps limit OWN API use, # to keep you in their good graces (and on their free tier). This value is # in minutes. interval: 30 locations: - id: home name: Home Weather # Set the location by specifying ONE OF: latitude+longitude, OWN city # ID, or location (as postal,country). If none is set, the system # location will be used. latitude: 8.9936 longitude: -79.5197 city_id: 3703443 #location: "30269,us" # Enable "save_full_response" to save the full response (you may have # need to use parts of the response that are not part of the wx # capability in your dashboard widgets). #save_full_response: falseWhen I request a systemctl status reactor I get this message:

After a prolonged power cut, the UPS was unable to cope with the weather and shut down the entire system.
When I returned, I had the problem that the host time displayed in the browser and automatically used in the rules was not correct.
I searched for a topic here on this forum that talked about it, but it referred to a container installation. There was a recommendation to go into the storage/states directory and delete the files and restart MSR, I did it and it didn't solve the problem.
There was also a recommendation to go directly to the browser to check the time, and I did so and I see that the time is correct.

As you can see on the screen above:
MSR browser shows the correct browser time 21:23, but host time 13:02; In the browser below the direct query and the host time is correct 9:22:54 PM; Setting the VM date command on the third screen, the time is 9:23:00 PM.I've opened the entire reactor.log file and searched for any errors, and there aren't any.

Thanks.
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.Good afternoon,
I'm running my MSR instance on an old NAS server running Fedora 37 Server. This is an older Core i5-4690K server that has served me well overall, but it's showing it's age, and will often reboot into maint mode if it applies updates overnight. I've been trying to troubleshoot, but it's also in my office (makes my office hot), and I'm looking at getting either a QNAP or Syslogy rack mount NAS to replace it.
What I'm wondering is what the process would be to migrate my current MSR config and move it to a different platform. I have quite a large ruleset that I don't want to have to recreate. I know I can run it in a container on either platform, but I'm not sure how I would migrate all my rules over. Is there one config file that has all of the rules, or could I simply copy my /reactor directory over to a enw platform?
I am also considering moving the MSR instance to a stand alone RPI 4 with a SSD. This way, while I'm migrating all of my files off of my NAS, I'm not loosing Reactor's functionality until I have whichever rack mount NAS I go with up and running, with all of the data migrated.
Thoughts?
Hello,
I've installed MSR in a Docker container on my Synology NAS. I'm able to access my Vera, but I'm having trouble using the Reactor import within the Docker environment. I'm using the Docker terminal, and I've navigated to "/opt/reactor". However, when I try to run the command, it's telling me I'm not in the installation directory, even though I can see the "tools" directory and the "apps.js" file there. I've also tried changing the file permissions, but nothing seems to work. How do you manage this in a Synology Docker container? Do you use the terminal inside Docker, or SSH into the Synology itself? I'm not finding the "/opt/reactor" path, but I see a "/var/reactor" directory, which I placed in my storage folder.
ERROR: This script must only be run from the Reactor app directory.
Maybe I'm missing something, but this appears to be a bug.
I'm troubleshooting a rule to see if one of the system participants is arriving (presence changes from not home to home). I want this arriving state to be less than 5 minutes (300 seconds), to differentiate between being home for a longer period of time, and just getting home.
In the restrictions sections of the Trigger, I set "Condition must be sustained for less than 300 seconds", and I save the trigger.
After I save and exit, I'm looking at the rule, and it's changed itself to x_hass.state == home; for at least 300 secs. I go back into edit the rule, and it in fact shows "at least" from the drop down.
This logic is of course failing and I can't seem to get it to work.
Changed to less than, and saved:

I'm running latest-23218-ebab7a1b.
I added the Proximity integration to HA to create automations based on if a person is on vacation or not. The integration creates an entity and its x_hass.state is the distance to the zone you have setup in HA. For some reason MSR sees that value as a string so I am not able to use the<, >, etc operators as a trigger. Is there anyway this could be fixed without needing to convert the string in a local expression?

SMTP notifications had been working fine and I am unsure exactly what action(s) stopped it from working.
I have verified that the SMTP server configured in notifications.yml is working properly.
To duplicate the problem I am forcing an SMTP email notification using the set reaction play button, the reactor.log shows the following errors:

I have a rule that's driving my pool heater to match the solar excess. In the previous iteration, I checked for the status every minute, but I wanted something different and smarter. The logic is basically:
run continuously from 9:15 to 18:15 check for conditions, and if there's solar excess, use the power to turn on the heater, then wait 1 minute to check again turn off the heater, then wait 5 minutes to prevent frequent on/off cyclesI thought that this could be very similar to Reactor-Ex machina's logic, so I crafted a rule that's basically doing the same: an infinite loop from 9:15 to 18:15 that's checking for status and has a delay based on the heater's condition.
All went well, but after a couple of hours, I got this:
Reaction task "49683" failed due to an exception. Please see the log. rule-liy7z3gf:S (Pool-Heater-Solar) step 0: Error: Task has run too much! Runaway?and the rule was reset (and the heater was left on). Is that by design and I should adopt another strategy? What are others doing when they have a state machine?
With the EV charger I did two groups of condition, each triggering every x minutes based on the charger status, but this seems less smarter and very rudimental. Any suggestion is appreciated. Thanks.

Hi
I am stuck trying to extract the "SignalLevel" value which is the WIFI Signal Strength off my Foscam via a http request. The request returns this, which isn't Json formatted data I don't think.
<CGI_Result> <result>0</result> <SignalLevel>52</SignalLevel> </CGI_Result>I created a rule that saves the http response into a Global Expression
872f534e-5899-43e4-ade5-f2b8ab54a412-image.png
But I am struggling to work out what is the correct expression code to extract the value?
Can anyone more knowledgeable please help?
Thank you.
Hi
Today in MSR alerts I see 100 alerts saying that the devices on my Ezlo controllers no longer exist.
They do still exist. I checked some of these devices in the Ezlo Online API Tool doing a hub.devices.list query.
I then checked that the ID numbers were the same for the devices and they are the same device ID's still.
So my devices do still exist with the same device ID's it seems.
So not sure why MSR has over 100 alerts saying otherwise.
9d7c4732-40f3-4551-b8d4-e24e0e8dda10-image.png
I then looked in Entities selected my Ezlo Plus controller and it listed all my devices OK I think and nothing looked out of place.
Thanks
I just discovered there is a secret webpage I didn't know about for my Asus Merlin router that when I run it in a browser gives me all the routers current temperatures.
http://192.168.0.1/ajax_coretmp.asp
249c6e47-38ae-4812-b149-da1fd22072cb-image.png
I have to be logged into the router to access it however.
I tried to create an MSR rule with a HTTP request to store all this data in to a local expression.
But it looks like its not passing or accepting the username and password for my router, I tried Basic and Digest.
I just get this back in the local expression in the rule.
(string) "<HTML><HEAD><script>window.top.location.href='/Main_Login.asp';</script>\n</HEAD></HTML>\n"The data returned in the browser looked like this:
curr_coreTmp_wl0_raw = "43°C"; curr_coreTmp_wl0 = (curr_coreTmp_wl0_raw.indexOf("disabled") > 0 ? 0 : curr_coreTmp_wl0_raw.replace("°C", "")); curr_coreTmp_wl1_raw = "49°C"; curr_coreTmp_wl1 = (curr_coreTmp_wl1_raw.indexOf("disabled") > 0 ? 0 : curr_coreTmp_wl1_raw.replace("°C", "")); curr_coreTmp_wl2_raw = "disabled"; curr_coreTmp_wl2 = (curr_coreTmp_wl2_raw.indexOf("disabled") > 0 ? 0 : curr_coreTmp_wl2_raw.replace("°C", "")); curr_coreTmp_wl3_raw = "disabled"; curr_coreTmp_wl3 = (curr_coreTmp_wl3_raw.indexOf("disabled") > 0 ? 0 : curr_coreTmp_wl3_raw.replace("°C", "")); curr_cpuTemp = "66.495"; fanctrl_info = "";I know how to do this for webpages and sites that give back JSON data, however this data I am not sure what format it is, Javascript ? The page is a .asp ajax page.
So not sure if this is possible ?
I really wanted to monitor the CPU temps on my router as its been getting very hot, even with extra USB fans now on the back of it. Think its a firmware bug maybe in the Asus firmware as others have been talking about it online.
Thanks.
So, I've just installed two venetian blinds and I want to control their lamellas with Fibaro FGRM222.
According to the old place, this could be accomplished with some Zwave raw messages and I'm OK with it.
Since I've moved (mostly) everything virtual in MSR, I'm now ready to add a virtual device with actions.
Looking at the docs, it seems possible, but it's not documented. @toggledbits any hints? I want to define a cover and send Zwave commands to the existing x_vera_svc_micasaverde_com_ZWaveNetwork1.SendData action. Thanks.
@toggledbits,
I'm not sure if this is something you've looked into (or something I'm completely missing in the installation documentation), but would it be possible to add user authentication to the MSR frontend? On my Home Assistant instance, I have external access set up using Cloudflare, and I can add other instances within my network to that Cloudflare configuration, but without any sort of authentication to access MSR, I obviously can't open it to the internet, unless I want random people screwing around with my home automation.
I've just updated to 23218 and now I'm getting this:
27a959bd-486b-41ae-8137-c5f456044a82-image.png
There seems to be related to global variables. The first and last ones are global reactions, while the second is a normal one. All are setting global variables.
Hey @toggledbits was wondering if we could have the latest reactor version number as an attribute for the Reactor System entity. It would be useful for me so I can use it for my wget command to automatically download the latest .tar.gz file. Ideally the complete version number like this 23171-85463e02.
@toggledbits ,
I was just taking a look at some of my scheduling to adjust for a new work schedule, and I noticed that the checkboxes for days of the week appear to be off.
75e1b936-1693-4db1-8ed5-ecfae57d3abf-image.png
if you'll notice in the screenshot, Sun - Tuesday are good, but then Sat comes next, then Wed, then Sat again, then Wed again. No TGIF in this week.
I know this isn't how I set up the rules (which would explain the behavior I was investigating).
Edit: BTW, I checked all my Week Day entries, and they are all like this.
I'm running latest-23196-40ef07f4 on Fedora 37 Server w/o Docker.
Is it possible to use a single reaction for multiple entities as variables?
-
Good morning,
I'm trying to recreate some notifications I received on my old Vera system based upon House mode. I migrated from Vera to Home Assistant about 6 months ago, and all the automation I have set up are working great, however, I'm noticing that there were things that were once simple in Vera that are more involved in Home Assistant.In House Modes in Vera, there was a screen where I could select all the devices I wanted to be armed in various house modes. I recreated those house modes in Home Assistant very early on, but what I'm not getting now is notifications for various sensors. For instance, if the system is in Away mode, and interior motion is detected, I would get a Vera push notification on my phone. I've been setting these up one by one using haas>system --> x_haas_system.call_service, then setting the notify device and the message, one by one, but it's repetitious and tedious. For a few devices, like motion sensors on my ground floor, it's not a big deal, but now I'm looking at all the windows in my home, which have sensors on them.
So, enough of the background thesis. Simply put, is there a way to have a group of devices ( like 16 different window sensors ) as an entity, and when they are tripped, send out a notification and state which of those sensors was tripped, all in a single rule?
If I have to copy and edit 16 different rules, I'll do that, but I'd prefer a more elegant way where there is one rule to send out the notifications that tells me what was opened.
Thanks for all your advice/help in advance.
I'm running MSR latest-23049-1fd87c91 and Home Assistant 2023.2.5, Supervisor 2023.01.1, Operating System 9.5,
BTW, @toggledbits, I noticed on the About screen for MSR it still shows copyright from 2022. I know you've released versions this year.

@tamorgen You could use DynamicGroupController to make a group of tripped leak sensors. Here's the config (in
reactor.yaml
) for that:- id: groups enabled: true implementation: DynamicGroupController name: Dynamic Group Controller config: leak_detectors: name: Leak Detection select: - include_capability: leak_detector filter_expression: "entity.attributes.leak_detector.state"
The
select
clause just finds all entities withleak_detector
capability. Thefilter_expression
then eliminates those that are not tripped (whenleak_detector.state
attribute is false, no leak).This simple rule trips when that group is not empty:
The condition just checks to see if the group is empty and triggers if it is not.
The reaction uses a substitution in its message of a local expression shown below to emit a human-readable list of device names. The local expression (in the rule) gets the name of each tripped leak detector in the group and creates a comma-separated string (e.g.
Kitchen Sink, Guest Bath Vanity
if those two were tripped):You could do this in the rule using only local expressions and no use of DynamicGroupController, but DGC is more efficient at handling large lists of devices, especially when those change frequently.
Ref: https://reactor.toggledbits.com/docs/DynamicGroupController/
-
So I would create a group in the reactor.yaml using include_entity instead of Includ_capabilty, like in your example above?
The example you have in your documentation should work well to implement notifications for low batteries on my battery powered blind controllers and a few battery powered sensors I have, so that is one thing I can definitely make use of as well.
I'll give this a shot. It should definitely help clean up my rules a bit.
-
@toggledbits , before I go too far down the rabbit hole, is this correct?
- id: groups enabled: true name: "Dynamic Group Controller" implementation: DynamicGroupController config: groups: "low_battery": select: - include_capability: battery_power filter_expression: > entity.attributes.battery_power.level < 0.35 "window sensors": select: - include_entity: - 'hass>binary_sensor_basement_window' - 'hass>binary_sensor_family_room_double_window'
So, from what i'm understanding, I should be using the ID under "include_entity". Your documentation shows the following for exclude_entity. I'm assuming the format should be the same.
select: - include_capability: battery_power - exclude_entity: 'vera>device_1789'
So I'm using the "haas>device id" format for my array of devices.
And am I correct in understanding that it will use the Entity (human readable name) for the notificatoin?
In my case,
notify.mobile_app_tims_iphone data: message: $ {{ window sensors }} opened while in Away mode
-
Seems OK except two things:
-
Your
window sensors
configuration isn't valid. You cannot have an entity ID with a space in it, so you should use something likewindow_sensors
instead. And it has no filter, so the group will contain those two sensors regardless of their state. -
Your substitution will not automagically convert the group entity into a human-readable list of names. Your substitition as you write it won't work (for multiple reasons). You need to create a local variable in your rule as I showed to take the contents of the group (the group members) and transform that list into a list of names. You refer to that local variable in the substitution.

Okay, thanks! This is why I checked before going to far into the configuration.

Okay, so like this?

Patrick,
This is what I've come up with."window_sensors": select: - include_entity: - 'hass>binary_sensor_basement_window' - 'hass>binary_sensor_family_room_double_window' - 'haas>binary_sensor_garage_window_back_lower' - 'haas>binary_sensor_garage_window_back_upper' - 'haas>binary_sensor_garage_window_front_lower' - 'haas>binary_sensor_garage_window_front_upper' - 'haas>binary_sensor_guest_room_windows' - 'haas>binary_sensor_mama_cave_windows' - 'haas>binary_sensor_master_bathroom_window' - 'haas>binary_sensor_master_bedroom_windows' - 'haas>binary_sensor_mia_s_room_windows' - 'haas>binary_sensor_mud_room_window' - 'haas>binary_sensor_office_windows' - 'haas>binary_sensor_family_room_fireplace_left' - 'haas>binary_sensor_family_room_fireplace_right' - 'hass>binary_sensor_morning_room_left' - 'hass>binary_sensor_morning_room_left_middle' - 'hass>binary_sensor_morning_room_middle' - 'hass>binary_sensor_morning_room_right_middle' - 'hass>binary_sensor_morning_room_right' filter_expression: > entity.attributes.binary_sensor = true
I've restarted Reactor, and set up my rule to use the window_sensors DGC.
While there is an additional condition in the rule, so it will only trip at Night or in Away mode, if I open a window, the current value should change to (boolean) true. I've opened a window and my alarm system sees it open, HA see's it open, but the DGC does not. Is the filter_expression set up correctly?
Also, the Local Expression appears to be working correctly:
Is this the correct format for the notification? It's what I've used for other notifications to use the HA companion app so far, but I've never used a varraiable iin the message.

@tamorgen said in Is it possible to use a single reaction for multiple entities as variables?:

Almost.
filter_expression
should be indented at the same level asselect
(so two spaces back from what you've shown).Also, you have
entity.attributes.binary_sensor = true
in your filter expression. A couple of errors there.binary_sensor
is a capability, so you need to specify the attribute in that capability you want to look at, which isstate
. That is, you wantentity.attributes.binary_sensor.state
. Then, you are using the assignment operation=
rather than the equality comparison operator==
. And finally, you don't need to make an equality comparison totrue
orfalse
, becausestate
is already booleantrue
orfalse
, so you're basically sayingif true == true
which is true already, orif false == true
which is false already... you don't need the==
operator or its operand here.The same caution above applies to your rule. Get out of the habit of using
==
with the wordtrue
in conditions when testing a boolean attribute, and instead use theis TRUE
oris FALSE
operators provided. The way you've done it, that operand is a string in the rule condition, so you're forcing an extra conversion and assumption of data type when you use==
andtrue
... theis TRUE
andis FALSE
operators (which take no operand) are more efficient. You even used them in your second condition, so just follow that model. -

Ha, good catch! I didn 't even notice I did that. I usually do try to use "is True", I just missed this one.

It's still not tripping in MSR when I open a window.
This is what is being shown when all the windows are closed. I'm not really paying atention to the comparssion value, jsut the current value it's displaying. That value isn't changing.
I tried it with sys_group.members as well.
None of the comparisons seem to make any difference. Current value: array:0) "" remains the same in any state of the windows.
-
Go to your Entities list, and find the
window_sensors
group entity, look at its attributes while you open and close a listed sensor. If it's not changing, then you either have an error in your DGC configuration, or the device(s) aren't responding as expected.Remember also your basic troubleshooting steps: any time something doesn't work the way you expect it to, go look in the log files for messages. DGC configures groups at startup, so look at the messages logged for DynamicGroupController during startup.
-
@toggledbits
I was just going around the hosue and testing different windows.Some of the windows seem to work. When I use sys_group.empty (primary), the value when all the windows are closed is True: The windows that are working, the boolean changes to false and the Local Expression value (window_names) changes to that window. I'm going to have to pinpoint which windows aren't working correctly. It could be an issue in the HA configuration.yaml for the DSC/Envisalink entries. That's for me to figure out.
The only other issue is the message. It's not sending the value of the string. I'm receiving $ Opened!
message: ${{ window_names }} Opened!
Edit: The one I had been testing with, right next to my office desk, does change in the entities tab.
Office Windows
hass>binary_sensor_office_windows
true
1:38:38 PMEdit 2: I copied and pasted from the Entities tab the Office Windows Canoncial ID into the reactor.yaml config. Even though they looked identical, once I restarted reactor, that window is now responding properly. I suspect I may have hidden characters in the ones that aren't functioning.

You have:
message: ${{ window_names }} Opened!
That stands out because it's not valid YAML. Missing quotes.
-
@toggledbits, how should the quotes work for a MSR variable in yaml? I copied your example in the second post, but you aren’t calling a HA function. I’ve been playing around with it, but I’m not getting the variable in the system call.
I’m looking at this documentation for HA.
They show an example
data: message: "{{ blind_state_message }}"
So, in theory,
message: "{{ window_names }}" opened.
should be valid. The difference here is that window_names is coming from the local expression.
However, MSR throws an error, telling me that I have invalid service data.
