I'm running MSR build 25139 on Docker, using MQTT controller 24293, and everything working as expected. But if I try to upgrade to MQTTController build 25139, I'm getting the following errors on MSR UI:

I realize my MQTT configuration might be a bit unorthodox, but could there still be something unintentional in the latest MQTTController build? If needed, I can provide detailed logs.
Since today is my birthday - and I still pretend to be unconventional - I'm giving away a present to this wonderful community and I'm releasing my first OpenSprinkler controller for MSR. It was real fun to code it - and while it's still WIP, it seems to work OK for me. It's polling-based at the moment, but I'll add support for updates via MQTT very soon (it's already partially coded).
Get it at (install is similar to MQTTController and such):
https://github.com/dbochicchio/reactor-opensprinkler
Feel free to try it. It's beta software, but it's stable. I'll update it weekly until all the tasks from my todo list are empty.
Since I've learnt a lot from this controller, I'll explore new controllers soon.
Good day all,
I'm in the process of trying to shut down my 10 year old Linux home server that served many purposes, but primarily it's what I used for my NAS/Plex Media server. I migrated the NAS aspect of the server in November of last year to a true NAS solution (Ubiquti UNAS Pro), which is rack mount and much more efficient than my old tower, which it's only side benefit was heating my home office during the winter. Unfortunately it also means heating my home office during the summer, which were about to be in full swing.
I have two things running on this 10 year old server at this point. MSR and pi-hole. I'm running Plex Media Server on Fedora Workstation in Podman on mini PC, which is much more energy efficient than my old tower. My next step is to migrate MSR. I know there are images of MSR out there, and creating it is well documented. I'm going to be using Podman instead of Docker for various reasons, but they work very similar. What I don't know, is what I need to do to migrate my existing Bare Metal installation over to a container.
Has anyone done this? Any advice?
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.
Hi guys,
Just wondering how you guys organize your rule sets and rules. I wish I had an extra layer to have some more granularity, but my feature request was not popular.
Maybe there are better ways to organize my rule sets.
I use the rule sets now primarily for rooms. So a rule set per room. But maybe grouping by functionality works better. Any examples/ suggestions would be appreciated.
I have the following yaml configuration in local_mqtt_devices file
x_mqtt_device:
set_speed:
arguments:
speed:
type: str
topic: "command/%friendly_name%"
payload:
type: json
expr: '{ "fan": parameters.speed }'
While this works fine, I'm wondering how this could be changed to "fixed" parameters, as in this case "fan" only accepts "A", "Q" or a numeric value of 1-5?
Hi!
I get this message when I'm on the status tab:
System Configuration Check
The time on this system and on the Reactor host are significantly different. This may be due to incorrect system configuration on either or both. Please check the configuration of both systems. The host reports 2025-04-01T15:29:29.252Z; browser reports 2025-04-01T15:29:40.528Z; difference 11.276 seconds.
I have MSR installed as a docker on my Home Assistant Blue / Hardkernel ODROID-N2/N2+. MSR version is latest-25082-3c348de6.
HA versions are:
Core 2025.3.4
Supervisor 2025.03.4
Operating System 15.1
I have restarted HA as well as MSR multiple times. This message didn´t show two weeks ago. Don´t know if it have anything to do with the latest MSR version.
Do anyone know what I can try?
Thanks in advance!
Let's Be Careful Out There (Hill Street reference...)
/Fanan
I have a very strange situation, where if InfluxDB restarts, other containers may fail when restarting at the same time (under not easy to understand circumstances), and InfluxDB remains unreachable (and these containers crashes). I need to reboot these containers in an exact order, after rebooting InfluxDB.
While I understand what's going on, I need a way to reliable determine that InfluxDB is not reachable and these containers are not reachable, in order to identify this situation and manually check what's going on - and, maybe, in the future, automatically restart them if needed.
So, I was looking at HTTP Request action, but I need to capture the HTTP response code, instead of the response (becase if ping is OK, InfluxDB will reply with a 204), and, potentially, a way to programmatically detect that it's failing to get the response.
While I could write a custom HTTP controller for this or a custom HTTP virtual device, I was wondering if this is somewhat on you roadmap @toggledbits
Thanks!
Hi ,
I'm on
-Reactor (Multi-hub) latest-25067-62e21a2d
-Docker on Synology NAS
-ZWaveJSUI 9.31.0.6c80945
Problem with ZwaveJSUI:
When I try to change color to a bulb RGBWW, it doesn't change to the RGB color and the bulb remains warm or cold white.
I tryed with Zipato RGBW Bulb V2 RGBWE2, Hank Bulb HKZW-RGB01, Aentec 6 A-ZWA002, so seems that it happens with all RGBWW bulb with reactor/zwavejsui.
I'm using from reator the entity action: "rgb_color.set" and "rgb_color.set_rgb".
After I send the reactor command, It changes in zwavejsui the rgb settings but doesn't put the white channel to "0", so the prevalent channel remains warm/cold White and the bulb doesn't change into the rgb color.
This is the status of the bulb in zwavejsui after "rgb_color.set" (235,33,33,) and the bulb is still warmWhite.
x_zwave_values.Color_Switch_currentColor={"warmWhite":204,"coldWhite":0,"red":235,"green":33,"blue":33}
The "cold white" and "warm white" settings interfer with the rgb color settings.
Reactor can change bulb colors with rgb_color set — (value, ui8, 0x000000 to 0xffffff) or rgb_color set_rgb — (red, green, blue, all ui1, 0 to 255) but if warm or cold white
are not to "0", zwavejsui doesn't change them and I can't find a way to change into rgb or from rgb back to warm white.
So if I use from reactor: rgb_color set_rgb — (235,33,33) in zwavejsui I have
x_zwave_values.Color_Switch_targetColor={"red":235,"green":33,"blue":33}

In zwavejsui, the bulb changes rgb set but warm White remains to "204" and the bulb remais on warm White channel bacause is prevalent on rgb set.
x_zwave_values.Color_Switch_currentColor_0=204
x_zwave_values.Color_Switch_currentColor_1=0
x_zwave_values.Color_Switch_currentColor_2=235
x_zwave_values.Color_Switch_currentColor_3=33
x_zwave_values.Color_Switch_currentColor_4=33
Is it possible to targetColor also for "warmWhite" and "coldWhite" and have something similar to this?
x_zwave_values.Color_Switch_targetColor={"warmWhite":0,"coldWhite":0,"red":235,"green":33,"blue":33}
Thanks in advance.
MSR had been running fine, but I decided to follow the message to upgrade to 25067. Since the upgrade, I have received the message "Controller "<name>" (HubitatController hubitat2) could not be loaded at startup. Its ID is not unique." MSR throws the message on every restart. Has anyone else encountered this problem?
I am running MSR on a Raspberry Pi4 connecting to two Hubitat units over an OpenVPN tunnel. One C8 and a C8 Pro. Both are up-to-date. It appears that despite the error message that MSR may be operating properly.
What does [Error] terminated [-] mean?
-
Post has been updated.
Need some guidance in determining what this error means.
Running Reactor latest-23078-d592d400; ZWaveJSController; Docker on Synology; Home Assistant 2023.3.6; Z-Wave JS UI 8.11.1
-
I have searched the site and could not find anything related to my question.
-
I know what the rule does. Yet, I cannot find the relationship with this error.
If someone could point me in the right direction, it would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Rule is as follow:
If the garage side door opens when the alarm is not armed and that both my spouse and I are at home:
-
Set Reaction: turn on the Siren_8 (basically a two seconds beep that was configured with the Aeotec Siren to warn us that the door is open)
-
Reset Reaction: turn off the Siren_8 in case it wants to keep beeping
Here's the updated error.

Please re-read the posting guidelines and fix your post. When posting log snippets, you are asked to post several dozen lines of context before any error message you are inquiring about.

OK, I see you edited the post. Is your question about the error message, or something else. You said you had a question, but you didn't state what the question is (i.e. described your expected behavior vs your observed behavior). Also, it would be helpful to know the name of the rule you have posted.

My question is about the error message. The name of the rule is : Notification: Home Security - Garage side door just opened (Disarmed Only).
My expectation is that there should not be an error.
The error seems to happen on the RESET of the rule and based on previous entries in the log, it should probably have read something like this, but that is just a guess.
<Engine:INFO> Enqueueing "Notification: Home Security - Garage side door just opened (Disarmed Only)<RESET>" (rule-lbmoup28:R) -
Reactor for Vera and Multi-hub Reactor both do this thing I call preemption of counter-activities, where (using MSR as the example) if the SET reaction needs to run, any running RESET reaction for the same rule is first stopped, and vice-versa. This prevents the two opposing reactions from fighting with one another for control of a device if one happens to still be running when the other needs to run.
The "terminated" message logged here is for RESET reaction of rule rule-lbmoup28, which is "Home Security - Garage side door just opened (Disarmed Only)" in the Notifications rule set. That reaction was started at 22:31:41.357Z in the log. The first action executes immediately. Just 11 seconds later at 22:31:52.486Z, the rule was re-evaluated because the door sensor changed state again, this time going to SET state, which would then start the counter-activity (SET reaction). The "terminated" message for the RESET reaction was logged because the reaction was still enqueued/running at that time.
The RESET reaction is pretty simple, so it may be that Home Assistant is having difficulty communicating reliably with the device. The 10-11 second gap between the start of the RESET reaction and its preemption by the SET reaction that followed is well within the timeout period (15 seconds) for HA to respond to HassController request to execute the action. The completion of the action occurred at 22:31:52.540Z, which is quite a long time for a simple action. The RESET reaction wasn't marked complete in that instant because the wait for completion is asynchronous, and there wasn't sufficient time for the executive to regain control and the reaction to be selected from the task queue (at which time it would have been marked complete and removed from the queue) -- the evaluation of the rule and change to SET had completed before HA responded to say it was finished.
On the plus side, the turn off action was completed, so the termination was benign, coming after the last action in the reaction.
On the minus side, it looks like you need to dig in and figure out why it took 11 seconds for HA to turn around one simple message with that siren. Assuming that's a ZWave device, you might look at the mesh performance and diagnostics in ZWaveJS UI.

Thanks Patrick. I clearly understand your explanation and I thank you for that. It makes sense and it explains what I was observing with my alarm system yesterday during my testings. I could see a lag when opening a door but never made the connection with what was in the log.
Today, I have started to exclude and re-include those door sensors w/o security to see if the response is better because I am thinking S2 security might be the reason of the lag.

S2 is a wrinkle and sore point for many manufacturers. But, the log isn't really pointing to the door sensors as the problem, it seems more likely from the log data that it's the siren. From personal experience with two popular brands, they are very battery-sensitive, and they need to have any firmware updates available installed. The battery issue with one brand is very interesting... if the batteries are around 60%, the operation of the siren at full volume appears to cause a significant enough battery drain that the device drops off the mesh briefly. It will keep wailing away uninterrupted, you just can't talk to it. As it is, the batteries last less than 60 days in my use, which basically amounts to a simple chime that repeats once every 5 minutes while either garage door is open (so maybe just 4-5 chimes on an average day for us). That's ridiculous. So far, I haven't found a Z-Wave siren I like, and most of my notifications are by Pushover and through Sonos.

Thanks @toggledbits
Quick update. I have excluded and re-included about 12 S2 devices to no security. I do not have a tool to measure the response time for my alarm system (door sensors, motion, scene controller, and siren), for example, but from I have seen today (tomorrow is another day), response is almost immediate. S2 the issue?
My only problem right now is pairing two Zooz ZSE41 sensors. One of them being the garage side door sensor. On the latter, at your suggestion, I noticed this in Z-Wave JS UI which may explained to lag.
Those sensors simply won't pair anymore even after factory reset. I am in discussion with Zooz support.
BTW my Aeotec Siren 6 works on AC (plus a battery as back-up).

I finally found the problem after a lot of troubleshooting. Patrick guided me to possibly an issue with the Siren but couldn't figure out, until, I realized that the 2-second tone duration I configured for siren 8 was likely the reason I saw those errors.
If you look at my original screenshot, I was turning off the siren under the Reset Reaction but the siren had already stopped beeping under the Set Reaction. At least I like to believe it did since it only lasted 2 seconds.
All I did is remove the Reset Reaction. See below. That did the trick for me. No more "Terminated" errors.
