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.
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

I have a couple of rules that has group reactions with empty conditions. I notice, in particular on one that's called every 5 secs, that it was not working. I added an empty comment as condition and it started working again.
I don't know if saving was enough to "reset" it, but I'm reporting anyway. No errors in the logs, but the MQTT message was not published, so I had an easy path to check the rule.
I have others like these, but not easy to test. @toggledbits maybe some stuck status data? (I restarted a couple of times after the last update). Thanks.
TL;DR: Format of data in storage directory will soon change. Make sure you are backing up the contents of that directory in its entirety, and you preserve your backups for an extended period, particularly the backup you take right before upgrading to the build containing this change (date of that is still to be determined, but soon). The old data format will remain readable (so you'll be able to read your pre-change backups) for the foreseeable future.
In support of a number of other changes in the works, I have found it necessary to change the storage format for Reactor objects in storage at the physical level.
Until now, plain, standard JSON has been used to store the data (everything under the storage directory). This has served well, but has a few limitations, including no real support for native JavaScript objects like Date, Map, Set, and others. It also is unable to store data that contains "loops" — objects that reference themselves in some way.
I'm not sure exactly when, but in the not-too-distant future I will publish a build using the new data format. It will automatically convert existing JSON data to the new format. For the moment, it will save data in both the new format and the old JSON format, preferring the former when loading data from storage. I have been running my own home with this new format for several months, and have no issues with data loss or corruption.
A few other things to know:
If you are not already backing up your storage directory, you should be. At a minimum, back this directory up every time you make big changes to your Rules, Reactions, etc.
Your existing JSON-format backups will continue to be readable for the long-term (years). The code that loads data from these files looks for the new file format first (which will have a .dval suffix), and if not found, will happily read (and convert) a same-basenamed .json file (i.e. it looks for ruleid.dval first, and if it doesn't find it, it tries to load ruleid.json). I'll publish detailed instructions for restoring from old backups when the build is posted (it's easy).
The new .dval files are not directly human-readable or editable as easily as the old .json files. A new utility will be provided in the tools directory to convert .dval data to .json format, which you can then read or edit if you find that necessary. However, that may not work for all future data, as my intent is to make more native JavaScript objects directly storable, and many of those objects cannot be stored in JSON.
You may need to modify your backup tools/scripts to pick up the new files: if you explicitly name .json files (rather than just specifying the entire storage directory) in your backup configuration, you will need to add .dval files to get a complete, accurate backup. I don't think this will be an issue for any of you; I imagine that you're all just backing up the entire contents of storage regardless of format/name, that is the safest (and IMO most correct) way to go (if that's not what you're doing, consider changing your approach).
The current code stores the data in both the .dval form and the .json form to hedge against any real-world problems I don't encounter in my own use. Some future build will drop this redundancy (i.e. save only to .dval form). However, the read code for the .json form will remain in any case.
This applies only to persistent storage that Reactor creates and controls under the storage tree. All other JSON data files (e.g. device data for Controllers) are unaffected by this change and will remain in that form. YAML files are also unaffected by this change.
This thread is open for any questions or concerns.
Hi,
I'm on Docker/NAs (latest-26011-c621bbc7) with Zwave js ui (last version).
I have set the 'Location' for each device in the Z-Wave JS UI dashboard, I cannot find this information among the Entity Attributes in the Reactor. I tried and the result is an empty array []. It seems the 'Location' metadata from Z-Wave JS is not being mapped to a standard attribute in Reactor. Location is equale to Rooms for me. When comparing this to the Vera or Ezlo Controller, Reactor automatically creates Room Icons also in the Reactor Dashboard and places the various devices under those room categories.
This is a very convenient way to keep the dashboard organized and quickly find lights to turn off with a click (especially when something isn't switched off as expected for me:) ).
Is there a way to map the Z-Wave JS UI 'Location' attribute and a dashboard organization, just like it does with Vera/Ezlo?
Thanks in advance for all the great tips you've shared
I use Virtual Entity Controller virtual switches which I turn on via webhooks from other applications. Once a switch triggers and turns on, I can then activate associated rules.
I would like each virtual switch to automatically turn off after a configurable time (e.g., 5 seconds, 10 seconds).
Is there a better way to achieve this auto-off behavior instead of creating a separate rule for each switch that uses the 'Condition must be sustained for' option to turn it off?
With a large number of these switches (and the associated turn-off rules), I'm checking to see if there is a simpler approach.If not, could this be a feature request to add an auto-off timer directly to the virtual switches.
Thanks

I've had similar problems before, but now this issue has resurfaced. Using build 26011 on Docker.
As I copied one old rule as a "template" for a similar new rule, where I have multiple conditions using changes operator (from any to any, and with delay reset of 900), these conditions do not detect change in attributes. Even if I manually reset the rule, reset delay timers do not restart.
If I do a new rule from scratch, and do not copy/import anything old, the same conditions work properly. Also, if I modify copied rule's conditions (put a random number to "from" & "to" fields), then save, and after that remove those modifications, rule begins to function normally. Just editing e.g. delay reset value does not do any good in this context.
@toggledbits, I can DM logs & related rule files to you, if you just send me instructions.
No drop-down list on Entity Attribute in "Creation Rule Sets" interface

New installation of Reactor version 23063-c464b685 on a Raspberry PI4 with Portainer/Docker.
Report :
No drop-down list on Entity Attribute in "Creation Rule Sets" interface
I can however visualize the entities.
I have configured HomeAssistant and all entities are coming up fine.
I have an unsupported Hass version 2023.3.0b5.
I'm new to Docker and can someone guide me to a solution?

Where it says "Click to select entity" with a red highlight... if you click that, it will open a dialog that lets you search for and pick the entity. Then you can select the attributes (the attribute list will populate with the available attributes for that specific entity).

Yes, but clicking does not open the dialog box: nothing happens....
I already use a version of Reactor installed on another Raspberry pi4, installed without Docker and it works fine.I'm migrating to a new raspberry pi 4 where I installed Docker, Portainer, MQTT, Zigbee2Mqtt, Zwave-js-ui without issue.
The installation of Reactor seems correct, the only problem is that no dialog box opens when clicking to select an entity.
I restarted the installation several times and I have the same observation.
Can you please give me some hint to try to solve this problem. Why does the click not call the entities dialog box?
THANKS -
Have you hard-refreshed the browser? Tried a different browser?
-
I'm using Google Chrome Version 111.0.5563.50 (Official Build) beta (64 bit)
I refreshed the browser, but the click does not open the entities dialog
I just found that I have the same problem on Global expressions, I can't display the entities list.
I feel like the call function to open the entities dialog is not working. -

I feel like the call function to open the entities dialog is not working.Go to the Entities list, and open the detail panel for some entity that you know will have actions, like a light switch or dimmer. Try to click on one of the actions, like
power_switch.offand see if it opens a dialog. If not, your browser has a pop-up blocker embedded and you need to allow the IP address that your new Reactor is installed on to open pop-ups.
Also, did you try a different browser as I suggested?

Following the change of browser (Microsoft Edge) and the proper functioning of the entities dialog box, I modified my Google Chrome version
from the beta version (Version 111.0.5563.50 (Official build) beta (64 bits))
to the stable version (Version 110.0.5481.178 (Official Build) (64-bit))
to see that it works fine.
Thank you once again for your help which solved my problem which had been going on for several days...

@christian_fabre said in No drop-down list on Entity Attribute in "Creation Rule Sets" interface:
2- I changed browser, I used Microsoft Edge and miraculously it works and the Entities dialog box opens correctly.
Thank you for your help ...
but why Google Chrome which is my favorite browser does not work ...I note that you're using a beta version of Chrome, which may contain bugs. I tried installing the same beta version, and it worked fine for me, as does the current release version (stable, for Windows). But if Edge works for you, that also suggests the issue is specific to your browser instance.
Again, you need to check Chrome's configuration settings to make sure that pop-ups are explicitly not blocked for the IP address of your host. In Chrome settings, search for "pop-up" to find this configuration area. Failing that, I would try purging all site data and caches in Chrome's "Privacy and Security" settings, and do "Reset Settings" at the root of Chrome's settings.
