Gradually turn on lights.
Tom_DT
I have several lights that I would like to turn on very gradually over 15 or 20 seconds. from 0 to .25 in .01 increments. I have tried a few things that came nowhere near working, so here I am.

Stop the MSR by an external switch on Hubitat.
wmarcolinW
Use case: When performing home maintenance, such as air conditioning, I want all rules involving air conditioning to be disabled. To do this, to day, I have a virtual switch that I placed within all rules involving air conditioning, meaning that if I turn it off, none of them work. Then another situation: the water pump system and garden irrigation, another switch. In short, I had to create several virtual switches in Hubitat to disable rules in MSR. Unfortunately, however, I was unable to cover all scenarios, so I wondered if it would be possible for MSR to support a virtual MSR switch, which, when configured in the reactor settings, would function as a general on/off switch for MSR. If it is configured and turned off, the entire rules and actions in MSR stops working, except for the status change reading process, specifically for this switch, which, when turned on, would restart the MSR. Would it be possible to do something like this? Any recommendations from the experts?

Way to search for rules (rule state) in other rules
T
@toggledbits, not sure if this is a feature request or I'm using the search tool wrong. You have a "Search for rule" in the Rules Set tab in MSR. It works nicely to find a rule and bring up said rule, but can it/could it be used for as a "where used?" global search? For instance, I have a fairly large set of rules, divided up into 10 different rulesets. There's easily a hundred individual rules, and many of the rules have Rule State triggers, which of course refer to other rules. Amongst my troubleshooting today, I came across what may have been a duplicate or troubleshooting attempt, but I can't tell if it's actually used as a Rule State in another rule without opening each rule that I suspect it may be a part of. Thanks.

Links to MSR from HA

I am using Home Assistant a lot recently. On a dashboard showing the devices, I would like to show a link to the MSR rule that controls the devices. Is there a way to link directly into MSR?

Errors after updating to MQTTController build 25139

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: An Entity Attribute condition in "Lay-Z-Spa auto heating off" (Terrace) failed because the referenced entity "Lay-Z-Spa States" (mqtt>layzspa_states) does not have attribute value_sensor.god Last 11:20:37 An Entity Attribute condition in "Lay-Z-Spa auto heating off" (Terrace) failed because the referenced entity "Lay-Z-Spa States" (mqtt>layzspa_states) does not have attribute temperature_sensor.green Last 11:20:37 An Entity Attribute condition in "Lay-Z-Spa filter pump auto off" (Terrace) failed because the referenced entity "Lay-Z-Spa States" (mqtt>layzspa_states) does not have attribute temperature_sensor.red Last 11:20:37 An Entity Attribute condition in "Lay-Z-Spa filter pump auto run" (Terrace) failed because the referenced entity "Lay-Z-Spa States" (mqtt>layzspa_states) does not have attribute value_sensor.pump Last 11:20:37 An Entity Attribute condition in "Lay-Z-Spa watchdog" (Terrace) failed because the referenced entity "Lay-Z-Spa States" (mqtt>layzspa_states) does not have attribute value_sensor.status Last 11:20:37 My MQTT configuration (local_mqtt_devices.yaml) for the related entity is: layzspa_message: type: ValueSensor capabilities: ["temperature_sensor", "value_sensor", "power_sensor"] primary_attribute: power_sensor.value events: "layzspa/message": "power_sensor.value": json_payload: true if_expr: '! isnull( payload?.PWR )' expr: "float(payload.PWR)" "value_sensor.air": json_payload: true if_expr: '! isnull( payload?.AIR )' expr: "float(payload.AIR)" "value_sensor.pump": json_payload: true if_expr: '! isnull( payload?.FLT )' expr: "float(payload.FLT)" "value_sensor.god": json_payload: true if_expr: '! isnull( payload?.GOD )' expr: "float(payload.GOD)" "value_sensor.lock": json_payload: true if_expr: '! isnull( payload?.LCK )' expr: "float(payload.LCK)" "value_sensor.unit": json_payload: true if_expr: '! isnull( payload?.UNT )' expr: "float(payload.UNT)" "value_sensor.error": json_payload: true if_expr: '! isnull( payload?.ERR )' expr: "float(payload.ERR)" "temperature_sensor.green": json_payload: true if_expr: '! isnull( payload?.GRN )' expr: "float(payload.GRN)" "temperature_sensor.red": json_payload: true if_expr: '! isnull( payload?.RED )' expr: "float(payload.RED)" "temperature_sensor.target": json_payload: true if_expr: '! isnull( payload?.TGT )' expr: "float(payload.TGT)" "temperature_sensor.value": json_payload: true if_expr: '! isnull( payload?.TMP )' expr: "float(payload.TMP)" "temperature_sensor.virtual": json_payload: true if_expr: '! isnull( payload?.VTM )' expr: "round(float(payload.VTM), 1)" "temperature_sensor.ambient": json_payload: true if_expr: '! isnull( payload?.AMB )' expr: "float(payload.AMB)" "layzspa/Status": "value_sensor.status": if_expr: '! isnull( payload )' expr: "payload" "layzspa/button": "value_sensor.button": if_expr: '! isnull( payload )' expr: "payload" and in reactor.yaml I have: "layzspa_states": name: "Lay-Z-Spa States" friendly_name: 'Lay-Z-Spa States' include: layzspa_message I realize my MQTT configuration might be a bit unorthodox, but could there still be something unintentional in the latest MQTTController build?

🎉 My very first MSR controller: OpenSprinkler
therealdbT
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.

Advice reqeusted to migrate MSR from Bare Metal to Container
T
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?

Organizing/ structuring rule sets and rules
R
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?

    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:

    Exited:

      I was away for the weekend. Looking at this now.

      Edit: I'm not able to duplicate this from the information given. The UI properly saves the operator selection and duration for every combination I've tried that looks remotely like this. Your report is missing the entirety of the rule; it only shows the one condition you are focused on, but I'd like to see that condition in its full context. It also doesn't mention what browser you are using (posting guidelines), and also doesn't mention if you tried on another browser (posting guidelines). You also should hard-refresh the browser you were using and see if that helps. You're also missing a list of the exact steps you did to get your result. It's important to know details like, does this happen when you create a new condition, or does it happen when editing an existing condition?

        @toggledbits,
        I'm running this on Chrome on my Mac Studio M2 Max when I discovered the issue, however, I tried it again at work on Windows 10 running Chrome, and experienced the same result. I haven not tired it on a different browser, only Chrome. I didn't do a hard refresh, but I did try incognito mode.

        I just tried in Safari and experienced the same result.

        The exact steps were listed (Changed and saved, exited, viewed rule).

        I'm currently unable upload screenshots (I had this issue the other day).

          @tamorgen said in MSR - Bug report:

          Changed and saved

          That doesn't tell me much (enough). Specifically, did you mention if you were setting/changing the operator on a new condition in a new rule, a new condition in an existing rule, or an existing condition in an existing rule? Did you have no duration option/value set, and you went and set both the operator and value together at the same time? Or did you set the duration value, save/exit, and then go back and set change the operator later? When you changed the operator, did you change the value also, or did you leave the existing value alone?

          "Change" means a lot of things. The devil is in the details.

            I changed the drop down. This was an existing set of rules that stopped working at some point in the past, because it was set to less than, and now is showing up as greater than. I keep trying to just change the drop down to less than and it doesn’t change upon saving.

            Change in this case simply means changing the operator in the restriction, as is shown in the screenshots.

            Edit: I've had these rules set up since the Vera days (Vera Reactor). These rules don't do anything themselves (as in they are triggers only, no reactions.) They are used in multiple other rules, which rely on their state. I have two of these types for each user in my Home Assistant user base; one for arriving conditions, and one for departing state. I've attempted to change the restriction sustained operator on several of these independent rules, and the result is the same on each; that being, even though the restriction states "Condition must be sustained for less than 300" seconds.", after I click Save, then Exit, I look at the rule I just edited, the rule states "at least", not "less than".

            I'm observing this behavior on all 8 of the trigger conditions I have this in use.

            I'm sorry if this doesn't seem clear from a developer perspective, but changing the drop down operator and saving, and it not actually saving seems fairly clear to me from a user perspective. I understand there are more variables to consider on your end, and I'm trying to provide as much information as possible.

              New information: I created a new rule, and the "less than" operator does save properly. The issue seems to only be the case when changing the restriction operator on existing rules.

              I also tried to change that newly created rule restriction operator from "less than" to "at least", and just like my other existing rules, it failed to save after the change.

              I hope this helps.

                @toggledbits,
                I just tried another method for verification. I tried making a copy of the rule, and editing that copy. I'm unable to change that restriction operator on the newly copied rule. I'm assuming it saves it when the rule is copied, so when I go to edit that restriction, it acts like an existing rule, and will not allow the change to be saved.

                Please let me know if I can provide any more information.

                  @toggledbits,
                  Final piece of the puzzle. If I change the sustained seconds value itself, I can change the sustained operator. I'm now able to correct the rules operator, but I have to change the seconds value along with the operator for it save properly. This is a work around, but no matter what I to do, the restriction operator cannot be changed by only changing the drop down.

                  I hope this makes sense and you can reproduce it on your end, to determine the cause. If you need anything else from me, please let me know.

                      I'm glad you were able to see and replicate my issue. I'm also glad that I was able to come up with a work around until you're able to present a fix.
