Nothing more to add. I see we have hvac_blower, but, anyway, maybe a native fan on the same assumptions of the fan from HASS could be reasonable.
I have a couple of them. ie, this is from ESPHome via HASS.
x_hass.domain="fan"
x_hass.entity_id="fan.kitchen_seashell_hood_ventilation_fan"
x_hass.floor_id=null
x_hass.services=["fan","esphome"]
x_hass.source="esphome"
x_hass.state="off"
x_hass_attr.friendly_name="Seashell Hood Ventilation Fan"
x_hass_attr.percentage=50
x_hass_attr.percentage_step=25
x_hass_attr.preset_mode=""
x_hass_attr.preset_modes=[]
x_hass_attr.supported_features=49
Thanks.

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
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!
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.
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
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.
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"...

#
# DO NOT change this path. Your directory location is in "source" below.

Evaluating variables redux
-
Sorry for another dumb question. Migrating from Vera Alexa to HASS Vera TTS. MSR is on bare metal, Debian Bullseye version 23049
I can get TTS from MSR and basic TTS from MSR which is great!
Trying to get some of the variables I used to use though is stumping me.
In the original MSR, I'd use:
It is now ${{OutingDays}} days until we go to ${{OutingName}}. , Sleep well!for example, and that worked fine (I've not bothered to list the variables as I know the worked)
If I use
{ "message":"It is now${{OutingDays}} days until we go to ${{OutingName}}. , Sleep well!", "data":{"type":"announce", "method":"speak"}, "target":["media_player.everywhere"] }In the data field of the hass service system call it doesn't evaluate the variables (Not really surprised)
So might someone take mercy on me and give me a clue?
TIA

Substitution isn't done when you launch the action from the Entities page, but it is done when the action is in a Reaction (either global or rule-based).

Hmm I am not quite sure what the issue may be here, but maybe Reactor logs would be a bit more telling? See if you can get some logs and post them here. Also what does the service call look if you were to call it in HASS?
@Pabla well running as is it just announces "$days" for example

@toggledbits I think I understand what you mean, however this is from a reaction...
I know this stuff is basic for those of you that write code

@CatmanV2 oh apologies I misunderstood the issue, what toggledbits said is most likely your issue.

Use the big play button under set reaction instead of the play button for this specific reaction
