Hi!
Is it possible to generate two additional log files, the first being the replica of what is displayed on screen by the Rule History widgets and the other with Recently Changed Entities?
And could I configure the generation of one file per day, and delete the older ones? For example, store the last 5 days?
And being more ambitious, does Windget have an icon to open these TXT files in the navigated?
Well, we're approaching Christmas, so here's my request to Santa Claus @toggledbits 🙂
Hi @toggledbits
I'm working on a controller to generate llm response from a prompt in reactor. I have http response coming thru an http request action at the moment, capturing the response inside a local variable. So, it's practically sync.
I want to create a controller, so I don't have to rely on a proxy (and have a simpler architecture), and duplicate absurd http actions, but AFAIK in the current implementation, actions are async only. But if I have multiple requests going on, I cannot be sure what it's really inside an attribute. I also thought that something like a correlation id when sending the request could be used to identity multiple responses, but I wanted to double check with you before starting with something too complicated. I also noticed that some actions in home assistant (ie forecast) are sync and I'm wondering if you have any plan or hint to address this situation. Thanks.
Thanks.
@togglebits I am curious as to why the tilt_sensor.state (primary) = NULL. I believe it should show true or false. I have to use binary_sensor.state instead in my rules.
Again, not sure if this is related to Reactor/ZwaveJSController implementation or the actual Z-Wave JS UI docker version. I have copied, below, the attributes of the tilt sensor in hopes it can help.
Thanks in advance.

@toggledbits I have noticed after upgrading both Reactor and ZWaveJSController to version 24257 that two of my devices/entities, TILT-ZWAVE2.5-ECO and Zooz ZSE18, had their entity re-named in an unusual way and also appears to be duplicated.

Anyway, here's my reactor-mqtt-contrib package:
Contrib MQTT templates for Reactor. Contribute to dbochicchio/reactor-mqtt-contrib development by creating an account on GitHub.
Simply download yaml files (everything or just the ones you need) and you're good to go.
I have mapped my most useful devices, but I'll add others soon. Feel free to ask for specific templates, since I've worked a lot in the last weeks to understand and operate them.
The templates are supporting both init and query, so you have always up-to-date devices at startup, and the ability to poll them. Online status is supported as well, so you can get disconnected devices with a simple expression.
Many-many thanks to @toggledbits for its dedication, support, and patience with me and my requests 🙂
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 @toggledbits.
After a couple of weeks, I noticed that my Remotec zrc90 isn't working as expected.
Scenes are working in ZWaveJS, but this device has a strange behavior: the scene change, but then it's set again to null. In Reactor, this remains null:

Hi, @toggledbits!
I have a question about the execution behavior. See the code below, and I'll explain the situation.
12957c3e-ff06-46c9-929d-b53f936665df-image.png
This is a routine that, at a certain point, determines that the desktop on which the VM hosting the Reactor is located receives an instruction to perform a shutdown (Shell Command).
When this happens, the desktop is turned off, and then Hubitat detects by a "ping" that the VM has been down, waits 15 seconds, turns off the power to this desktop, and then 15 seconds later turns on the desktop with the Reactor VM again.
After restarting the desktop, the VM is loaded, and the Reactor is triggered. Still, the following problem occurs: I expected that when the rule was continued to be executed again, the next step would be executed, that of the 900-second delay after shutdown, but the Shell command is executed again, and then it goes into a loop, the rule does not advance.
To break the loop, I first have to make the VM not load, change the desktop password, and then start the VM. In this case, Reactor generates an error when trying to execute the Shell Command because of the invalid password and then finishes the routine following the 900 delay step.
b58b0d4a-d6c1-4fe3-bab7-4222acea9607-image.png
Is my interpretation that when it returns, the routine should continue to the next step that has not yet been executed incorrectly? Or does Reactor, through the shutdown command, interpret that it hasn't finished this step and keep trying, which is the correct reaction?
Thanks for clarifying.
Hi @toggledbits ,
I'm slowly moving my ZWave network from Vera to ZWaveJS. I successfully cloned my ZWave network using a spare Vera Edge (a new post for the community later when I'll be fully back from vacation) and I'm testing a couple of things before moving everything to ZWaveJS.
In the meanwhile, I have a couple of venetian blinds connected to Fibaro Roller Shutters 2 (FGR222) and I'm using some proprietary ZWave commands to control the tilt position, that right now I'm sending via Vera (with some code from the old place, messing with this):
af7f883c-f49e-419c-a2fe-8669572e3792-image.png
The ZWaveJS values are reported via this:
x_zwave_values.Manufacturer_Proprietary_fibaro_venetianBlindsPosition=0 x_zwave_values.Manufacturer_Proprietary_fibaro_venetianBlindsTilt=0I hope there's a way to expose a separate device to control the tilt position directly, without doing the mess I'm doing now. Let me know if you need some files. Thanks.
As per @toggledbits request, new topic.

Good morning,
I have a service MQTT service that needs a restart occasionally. The add-on (Smartbed MQTT) is for the smart bed base for my bed. It has a "safety light" that I can control from HAAS & MSR as a light entity, and also moves the head of the bed to a preset at bedtime, and then lies it back flat in the morning The problem is, from time to time, the light becomes "unavailable" Restarting from the Add-ons tab in HAAS always fixes it, but I should be able to detect when it happens when "light.tempur_pedic_safety_lights" is not true or false, i.e., unavailable.
What I don't know how to do is how to restart that service. Does anybody have experience in restarting add-ons from MSR?

RPi5-64 (8GB) Core 2024.7.3 Supervisor 2024.08.0 Operating System 13.0 Frontend 20240710.0Hi-
I have an android media player entity publishing from HA. I watch for changes in transport state and media title to trigger some actions.
Though those attributes report as expected, the set rule is being throttled for possible flapping.
There is an attribute for media position that continually updates, I suspect it is causing the evaluations to run constantly.
The workaround I am seeking is to ignore those attributes in HA or MSR. Anyone know how, or have a better idea??
Thx
Btw- this problem has spanned versions of HA and reactor, but I am current on both. Too current on HA for transparency, but the issue has survived several updates.
Referencing an expression inside a reaction is in the form of ${{ expression }}. When referenced inside my shell command to set the watering delay duration for my Rachio sprinkler system, it just does not work.
If I enter "86400" instead of referencing the expression lWateringDelayDuration, it works. Either I am doing something wrong or referencing an expression inside a shell command is not supported.

As per @toggledbits request, here's a new topic.
My Fibaro Door Window Sensor 2 (FGDW002) is always reporting as open, even if

Hi @toggledbits,
I'm not sure if it's a bug or something, but I have a lot of Fibaro Double Switch (FGS223) as follows.

Endpoint 1 is fine. This is causing a lot of troubles, as you may imagine.
Also, endpoint 0 is not really a switch, and the associated actions are not doing anything at all. Maybe these could be removed. Also, I see battery_maintenance and power_source capabilities, all with null values.

Good morning,
I'm having an issue with controlling my Zooz Zen14 outdoor double outlet. I should be able to control each outlet individually, and this does work when use Home Assistant (haas) from Reactor.
When I use zwavejs, I see 3 entries:

The first entry is for the overall device. I can turn both outlets on and off (in theory) by setting the power_switch state to on or off. This does turn them on and off when using zwavejs.
When I go to the individual outlets, performing the power_switch.on or power_switch.off actions turns them all (main, 1 and 2) on or off, and not just the individual outlets. When I perform the same action from haas, turning on outlet 1 will turn on the main switch and 1, but not 2.
I reviewed the logs for that node and I'm not seeing anything obvious.

Can I use Dynamic Group Control for Triggers and Reactions?
-
Good evening all,
I've run across a quirk with my iBlinds motors in Home Assistant. Each iBlinds zwave motor has two controls that I can use. One is a switch, and one is a cover control.cid:A1190F3F-FB02-4332-93DE-9A15A490D9AB
The switch control is a binary on/off switch. On, the blind goes to the "open" position (v2 controllers, 50%, v3 controllers user definable parameter)
If you click on the cover icon, it moves between two positions. Essentially, it's closed in both positions, just 180 degrees apart. The cover control does give you the granularity to move to any position between 0 and 100, which is sometimes useful, when you just don't want it open or closed, such as letting some light in, but closing it enough when the sun is shining directly into the window and blinding everyone.
Here's the problem, which I've brought up with iBlinds support, and they're singing Simon and Garfunkel (Sound of Silence). The two controls don't update each other. If I open or close using the switch, the cover position value doesn't change. If I open or close using the cover control, the switch doesn't change to on or off. I've verified that this isn't just an issue with the dashboard/templates I'm using by going into the developer tools on HA and the values do not change. I've also checked those values in Reactor (Entities tab) and they do not update properly.
I've come up with a Reactor work around which sort of forces the controls to update. If anyone knows of a better way, please tell me. I have two rules set up that monitor for changes in the switch state, that then performs a x_haas_cover.set_cover_position to either 0 or 50 for either to off or to on respectively.
This is sort of a one way street at the moment. I don't have a reverse rule set up to change the switch value, but the current rule seems more of an issue.
All that being said. I have 14 iBlinds motors in my home. That would mean 28 rules in Reactor. I know how to set up a Dynamic Group Control for Triggers. I put all 14 switches in the reactor.yaml file, and I can use those for triggers. How would I go about using 14 corresponding cover controls for the reactions?
It may be a simple matter, but I'm not sure. One thing i can say is the name of the switch and cover entities are the same, except for the control type:

@tamorgen So iBlinds are a funny beast. I'm running 11 of the v3's and my automations run the gamut from normal open/close to "tilt when the sun hits this side of the house", "tilt when I'm not home (for privacy)" - smashing the sun tilt together with the Away tilt... oh boy is that fun.
I use a Zooz ZWave stick connected to Home Assistant to run them. They're happy together but I also do run a ping rule hourly lest they lose sight of the stick. Hubitat runs the rest of the house for now.
To control them... oy. Here's a couple samples:
The
.refresh
keeps Home Assistant happy in keeping the two status' you have in your first screenshot in sync.I have fought long and hard over the past two years with many, many hours of trial and error with these and, even this morning, am still making adjustments. I am quite demanding of my automations with them, in all fairness to both the blinds themselves and MSR.
ProTip: if you're controlling multiple iBlinds in one automation, a five or so second delay between each blind's actions will help a LOT. I believe I actually got that advice from iBlinds Support (when they answer).
Yes - you will have a LOT of iBlinds rules and reactions to truly control these bad boys. No - you will never get them all to open/close simultaneously. I've settled on a nice routine where they start their actions at the front of the house and end at the back, each performing it's task sequentially after the other. Not quite as cool but it's still ok.
OH - I also do a weekly recalibration to keep the iBlinds "accurate" lest they drift a bit over time.
To your actual ask - I've installed the Dynamic Group Controller but not delved into it as yet. Hopefully the info above helps you as the iBlinds rabbithole can run deep and dark. MSR has been key in my ability to get the iBlinds to function the best of any integration I've tried.
-
Note that @gwp1 is using ZWaveJSController to interface with iBlinds, not HassController. So this is more direct control that circumvents HA's interpretation.

I've been running 14 iBlinds v2 since 2019, and I just replaced 2 of them with v3.1. I've always had issues with the units responding consistently. The answers I've gotten from their support is "try repairing it closer", or you need to have beaming repeaters. I have 75 Z-wave devices in my house, and every single device that is hard wired is beaming. I think they just have a script that assumes it's the users fault, and they really aren't interested in helping.
I could set up a ping hourly, and that may help with connectivity. I don't run them all at once. I have Reactor set to "wait for completion" on each of the reactions before moving on to the next one.
None of this unfortunately addresses the issue of the switch control and the cover control not being in sync. I don't seem to have a .refresh command in HA, or at least I'm not sure where it is. If that syncs them up, then I'll be happy. Where is that refresh command located?

@tamorgen That sounds vaguely familiar!
Low and behold iBlinds support finally got back with me, and they actually acknowledged the original problem I was seeing was actually a problem.
Hi Timothy, Very sorry for the delayed response, we have been getting more reports of this issue and have been building up to a solution. We have determined this to be a driver issue within Home Assistant that will need to be addressed for each hub. We have never really sent battery report until battery level drops to the low battery alert threshold and this feature is required by zwave certification. We always had the hub poll the battery level since some hubs opted for polling the device independently of the device sending a report. We will need to add polling to the HA driver and other drivers of the same issue. Thank you for your patience. Thanks, Chance H. The iBlinds Team
and
Hi Timothy, To add to this, the polling will update the position as well as the battery to address your issue specifically. Thanks, Chance H. The iBlinds Team
Feeling some vindication, after their original emails were all to the tone of "you're doing it wrong, you need to exclude and pair your devices. You need beaming repeaters (I guess the 55 other devices that aren't battery powered and are beaming don't count)."

Thanks Patrick, that's fine. I knew it was going off on a bit of a tangent and asked you to fork it a bit ago.
Back to the original subject, now that I'm have ZWaveJSController working and I can use the refresh command, I still want to set up a rule based upon a state changing to poll the entity and force that refresh.
I set up the Dynamic Groups in my reactor.yaml using the zwavejs entities. I have three ones set up. One for the switch state, one for the position state, and one for the cover state. This way, I can run refresh if anyone of them changes. If there is a better way, please let me know.
"iblinds_switch": select: - include_entity: - 'zwavejs>63-0' - 'zwavejs>62-0' - 'zwavejs>64-0' - 'zwavejs>65-0' - 'zwavejs>79-0' - 'zwavejs>77-0' - 'zwavejs>78-0' - 'zwavejs>206-0' - 'zwavejs>205-0' - 'zwavejs>75-0' - 'zwavejs>74-0' - 'zwavejs>71-0' - 'zwavejs>16-0' - 'zwavejs>61-0' filter_expression: > entity.power_switch.state "iblinds_position": select: - include_entity: - 'zwavejs>63-0' - 'zwavejs>62-0' - 'zwavejs>64-0' - 'zwavejs>65-0' - 'zwavejs>79-0' - 'zwavejs>77-0' - 'zwavejs>78-0' - 'zwavejs>206-0' - 'zwavejs>205-0' - 'zwavejs>75-0' - 'zwavejs>74-0' - 'zwavejs>71-0' - 'zwavejs>16-0' - 'zwavejs>61-0' filter_expression: > entity.cover.position.value "iblinds_cover": select: - include_entity: - 'zwavejs>63-0' - 'zwavejs>62-0' - 'zwavejs>64-0' - 'zwavejs>65-0' - 'zwavejs>79-0' - 'zwavejs>77-0' - 'zwavejs>78-0' - 'zwavejs>206-0' - 'zwavejs>205-0' - 'zwavejs>75-0' - 'zwavejs>74-0' - 'zwavejs>71-0' - 'zwavejs>16-0' - 'zwavejs>61-0' filter_expression: > entity.cover.state
The rule I'm trying to set up is to look for any change on those switches (on to off or off to on), and then set a reaction to refresh the cover (zwave_device.refresh)
In the set reaction, it doesn't appear to let my dig down any further once I put the group in. What do I need to do to make this work, if it's even possible.

Well that has nothing to do with group actions. It's specifically complaining about your filter. Hass is famous for giving null state when a device is unreachable or still initializing. If the DGC comes up faster than Hass, you get those messages. They usually don't stick.
And please remember the posting guidelines. When posting an error, don't just post the error message; you need to post several dozen lines from before it, for context.

Understood, however, the system has been back up for white a while, and it just keeps repeating those errors. The lines I'm seeing before are unrelated and appear to be just normal reactions in my system.

above, I abbreviated the select and filter expressions, which I didn't expect you to copy verbatim; I just put it there for alignment/indenting. Use the select and filter expressions you had previously. -
Update to the 23093 version of ZWaveJSController I just released, which fixes another small iBlinds issue.

Thanks. I thought the filter expressions format had changed for with the group_actions flag, so I changed it to your example.
I also updated to the latest ZWaveJSController.
I still eppar to be getting those same errors, even with changing back to:
"iblinds_switch": select: - include_entity: - 'zwavejs>63-0' - 'zwavejs>62-0' - 'zwavejs>64-0' - 'zwavejs>65-0' - 'zwavejs>79-0' - 'zwavejs>77-0' - 'zwavejs>78-0' - 'zwavejs>206-0' - 'zwavejs>205-0' - 'zwavejs>75-0' - 'zwavejs>74-0' - 'zwavejs>71-0' - 'zwavejs>16-0' - 'zwavejs>61-0' filter_expression: > entity.power_switch.state group_actions: true "iblinds_position": select: - include_entity: - 'zwavejs>63-0' - 'zwavejs>62-0' - 'zwavejs>64-0' - 'zwavejs>65-0' - 'zwavejs>79-0' - 'zwavejs>77-0' - 'zwavejs>78-0' - 'zwavejs>206-0' - 'zwavejs>205-0' - 'zwavejs>75-0' - 'zwavejs>74-0' - 'zwavejs>71-0' - 'zwavejs>16-0' - 'zwavejs>61-0' filter_expression: > entity.cover.position.value group_actions: true

entity.attributes.power_switch.state
and the same change for the others, like you had originally. -
@toggledbits
Thanks, that did the trick. Do I need to use the local expressions when using this approach? I'm guessing no. -
That would depend on what you're using them for. The only one I see above is to make a list of entity names from a group's members, presumably to use it in a message or something else not yet completed?
