In Home Assistant I have an integration that if I add entities to it, I will get the following error in MSR as certain entity values I'm using in expressions are null for a moment. This is more or less cosmetic issue and happens very rarely as I rarely modify that integration on the hass side.

And the expression is

Could I "wrap" hass-entity shown above somewhat differently to prevent this error from happening? Using build 24302.
Hello
I am trying to set up Multi System Reactor to automate routines across multiple smart home devices & platforms (e.g., Home Assistant, SmartThings, and Hubitat). While I have successfully linked the systems; I am facing issues with:
-Delays in triggering actions on secondary devices.
-Inconsistent execution of complex logic conditions.
-Synchronization of states between devices when one system updates.
Is there a recommended way to optimize performance & confirm seamless state sharing across systems?
I have checked https://smarthome.community/category/22/multi-system-reactor-msbi guide for reference but still need advice.
Any tips on debugging or log analysis to pinpoint where the issue arises would also be appreciated.
Thank you !
I've managed to use MSR UI on iOS devices to some degree*, so that although UI elements (e.g. rule sets) are not visible in portrait mode, you've seen them in landscape. Now with recents builds (24302) this does not work anymore, elements (rule sets, entities) are not anymore visible in landscape mode.
Does anyone have similar experiences? Using iOS 18 and Safari/Chrome browser.
( *Drag & drop of rule conditions have never worked on a mobile)
@toggledbits Since I have upgraded ZWaveJSController to 24293 from 24257 I am seeing entries related to registering action set_volume, but action is not defined by the capability 143 every time I restart Reactor.
The Siren seems to be doing what it is supposed to do. The volume levels are fine. Should I worry about it?
Reactor version 24302
ZWaveJSController version 24293
Z-Wave JS UI version 9.27.4
zwave-js version 14.3.4
I have the following ACL defined:
groups: admin: users: - admin applications: true api_acls: # This ACL allows users in the "admin" group to access the API - url: "/api" group: admin allow: true log: true # This ACL allows anyone/thing to access the /api/v1/alive API endpoint - url: "/api/v1/alive" allow: trueAnd I have authenticated to MSR as "admin" user. However, I'm getting "access denied" when trying to access http://*******:8111/api/v1/log
So what I'm missing, is my ACL incorrectly defined?
Using build 24302 on Docker.
Thanks to @toggledbits for adding a custom CSS. I've started doing a darker Reactor style.
Here's the file: https://gist.github.com/dbochicchio/825098ac13b7f8cac22012eae37ff7ce
A couple of things are still too bright and I'll eventually catch-up. Just place it under your /config directory, naming the file as customstyles.css. Hard refresh your browser.
Hi
I have just connected a bunch of EzloPi controllers to MSR to import some ESP based devices etc.
They all seemed to have worked and imported in to MSR apart from I have one missing device. It is a Digital Gas Sensor device.
This is how that device looks in the Ezlo API.

They have an EzloPi website here you can create your own sensor projects using ESP boards, which is very interesting stuff!
And I just wrote on the Ezlo forum here, how to connect an EzloPi controller to MSR.
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.A couple of things for you @toggledbits, since you mentioned that this release has new features and some tweaks are expected.
Local expressions cannot be deleted. Pushing the X button has no effect for me.
When cloning an entity action, the result is strange (first is cloned one, second is the original action):
a92ea094-9e2c-4aaa-bf47-2d07a6ffdbd0-image.png
When changing the action on the cloned element, the params are added to the original one. See screenshot:
92ac3011-83c8-466b-bd23-47d483ad7a52-image.png
Dark theme has a couple of strange contrasts. One is visible in the previous screenshots (white text on yellow background). Another one is in groups (blue text on blue background):
9b3c4988-53ef-44e6-9672-30e744cacb75-image.png
Overall, I found blue, yellow, red and green (in buttons and forms) to be too bright.
On the bright side:
I love the new script action: thank you! The dark theme is a great start to avoid getting blinded at night I promise I'll try very soon the new features around actions. Thanks!@toggledbits
I just upgraded to version MSR 24293, bare metal running on Fedora. Upon restart, I am getting a error banner:
I followed the new directions about npm
npm i --no-save --no-package-lock --omit dev
Any idea what the issue is?
Seems like switching the UI to the newly added dark mode (thank you for this) does nothing. The UI stays in light mode and only a few buttons turn into dark mode (see screenshot)

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!
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.

[SOLVED] New iblind and zwaveJScontroller/MSR not communicating
-
I installed a new iblind this evening and it is appearing in ZWaveJS. It is operational thru Home Assistant just fine. It is operational thru the HA ZwaveJS plugin just fine.
Where it is non-responsive is in MSR for some reason. The entities are there. Adding the node to a Reaction and then attempting to run said Reaction nets me this:

Please note the highlighted logpart - no other iblind has this. In addition, in MSR>Entities several show as
null
rather than having a value as the others do.I tried deleting all Entities associated with this device from MSR and then refreshing ZWaveJS in Home Assistant and restarting MSR - the Entities return but in the same state/s.
Admittedly, it's been a very long three weeks at work - I could have missed something obvious during setup but I sure can't figure what it is.
-
Can you paste all of the attributes for
zwavejs>20-0
? There's a "Copy Attributes" button when you expand the entity in the Entities list. Remember to format it as code when pasting here.I'm heading to a field training exercise, so I may not get a chance to look at this in depth until late Sunday.

Look at the file called
647.yaml
inext/ZWaveJSController/manufacturer
and check the version. It should be 23093. And yourext/ZWaveJSController/zwave_devices.yaml
file should be version 23194.If these numbers don't match up, update your ZWaveJSController.
Download: https://reactor.toggledbits.com/download/extras/ZWaveJSController/

Also, did you restart Reactor after adding the node?
-
@toggledbits Answering in reverse order: yes on restart of MSR (multiple times). Also reloaded the HA ZWaveJS plugin as well as restarted HA as a whole.
The the first ask:

Looking in my files I see the latest version was 23093 so I'm grabbing 23094 from your repo and installing now.

Looks like your Hass devices aren't actually faring much better... nulls there too for some values, and that's a straight pass from Hass itself, not likely something MSR is doing (or not doing).
Something off about this device. I'm going to PM you instructions to upload a data file from your system.

Yeah, this device is off. It's reporting
Multilevel Switch
for its generic class, andMotor Control Class C
as the more specific, and usually this device class reports command class 38, Multilevel Switch. That's how your other iBlinds units that identify the same way (same 647 manufacturer ID, product type 4, product ID 114) work. But this particular unit does not appear to be advertising command class 38 Multilevel Switch, and is instead reporting command class 106 Window Covering, which is relatively new.Once you upload the data I PM'd you about, I'll be curious to see how the reporting firmware compares. But this new unit is definitely working differently from everything else you have, and it doesn't look like HA actually likes it any better -- I think that's why it's reporting the slats angle in HA as
null
; I bet it shows the same in their dashboard.I'll know more/confirm once I see you data. Probably won't get to that until Sunday or Monday at this point, though.
-
@toggledbits file has been uploaded. This blind is in a guest room that's not in use currently - no rush.
Do you think excluding/including with HA/ZWjs would have any effect? Could something have gone sideways during pairing that a complete redo might clear?
-
ZWaveJSController version 23254 has been released. It should handle your oddball iBlinds unit. I'd love to know (not from you, from the manufacturer) what triggers the difference between reporting status in command class 38 versus command class 106 -- only this most recent unit of yours reports/controls via 106; all of the others use 38. And there's no difference in reported model or firmware version. No obvious configuration parameter that might trigger such a difference (e.g. some others, like some Aeotec devices, can change the reporting CC based on a config parameter). Just goes to show you that despite a fairly strict standard and specification, manufacturers can continue to make subtle choices that create headaches.
-
@toggledbits this was deployed and tests as working. Really appreciate it - I bought two new units and have held off installing the second until it was determined not to be a firmware problem (broken vs them just randomly changing something).
Thank you!

@toggledbits I contacted iblinds Support. This was their response:
*We've had similar reports. I believe it is related to a recent update with Home Assistant supporting the Z-Wave Window Covering Command Class now. So when you add your new devices they are seen with the new command class. I would imagine if you excluded and included one of the older motors they would now be Window Covering devices as opposed to multi-level switches.
We initially worked with the ZWaveJS developer when they added the Window Covering CC Support. But unfortunately, our HA in our lab is no longer working so we have been unable to test locally.
We have been waiting to get a replacement RPi so hopefully we can do some testing on our end soon.
I hope this helps.

Further, I just discovered if I do a
reinterview
on an existing blind via ZWaveJS in HA it switches to this new Window Covering mode.For what it's worth, I have both v2 and v3.1 iBlinds in my home. Reinterviewing only changes the type from multilevel switches to window covering on v3.1 blinds. Version 2 blinds remain multilevel switches after reinterviewing.
The Window Covering class is supposedly better. The MLS class is designed for rolling blinds, so on/off will have the bllinds all the way open, or all the way off. With horizonal blinds, the 0/100 values are just 180 degree opposites of a closed blind. With Window Covering class, I believe there are values to tell the Z-Wave system what type of blind it is, and specify what is open versus closed. I dealt with iBlinds support maybe 4 or 5 months ago, and at the time, no Z-Wave system supported Window Covering. Zwave JS implemented the change shortly thereafter.

@tamorgen I'm poking at it now. It seems for the iblinds I can now use
cover.close
and the[0] NO (default)
setting for direction vs having it set to[1] YES
to make it tilt the way I want it to when closed.I was using
power_switch.off
previously to close my v3.1's. -
UPDATE: after many lost hours last night/this morning (hello, 0230 ET, looking at you) I found
cover.x
andpower_switch.x
to be woefully unreliable after reinterviewing the blinds.What has proven reliable is
position.set
for which I use0
forclosed
,50
foropen
and have the blinds (as they were previously) set to[1] YES
forReverse Direction
. -
I've been using the ID hass>cover_blind_horizontal_slats_angle and x_hass_cover.open_cover_tilt or x_haas_cover.close_cover_tilt and it works flawlessly for open and close. If I want to set the position for partial close when the sun is glarring into the room, I use x_hass_cover.set_cover_tilt_position with the same ID, and set the tilt_position to whatever I want to reduce the glare.
My only problem now is that I use mushroom for my dashboard in Home Assistant, and the templates for covers hasn't caught up with the new Window Covering class. It makes adjusting the blinds more problematic from HA.

Can you please be more descriptive here? I don't have these devices, so I can't test them, but that doesn't mean I'm not interested in getting them working reliably. But the description given isn't enough for me to do any troubleshooting at all.
-
@toggledbits of course, no problem! I cannot seem to upload images into this response. I've uploaded to your Dropbox shared folder a pair of images.
Using the iblind I sent you logs and such for previously as the example, I have a blind called
Beach Blind
(two guest rooms, one is named Ocean, the other Beach). I use the commands from the IDBeach Blind
fromzwavejs
. As @tamorgen notes, there is also a new one (with the changes HA made) from my HASS controller calledBeach Blind Horizontal Slates Angle
which has a few less commands including those mentioned starting withx_hass_*
.I use the ZwaveJSController commands.
cover.open
cover.close
power_switch.on
power_switch.off
position.set
zwave_device.refresh
zwave_device.set_config
These are the ones I most commonly use to open, close, and tilt the blinds.
refresh
is used to force HA to update dasheboards with any changes andset_config
I use less often, weekly, to recalibrate the blinds as they do wander sometimes and "open" becomes "open-ish".I'd been using
power_switch.on
to open andcover.close
to close. The blinds have been happiest that way. With these new changes from HA, these commands have become hit/miss. In the HA ZWaveJS plugin the status would reflect0/closed
but the blind was clearly wide open.Last night/this morning I opted to use
position.set
and it's been pretty solid from what I've seen throughout the day.
position.set
=0
nets me a closed blind,position.set
=.5
nets me a wide open/"slates level with the ground" blind. I usedposition.set
=.2
or.3
to tilt the sun away during specific dayparts based on sun azimuth.I did not grab MSR logs during those tests - apologies, it was 0200 ET and I just wanted the blinds closed for the night. I have amassed 13 of these iblinds over the past couple years.
If you wish, I'll set some time tonight or tomorrow night and generate some MSR logs.

To be precise, it's not so much a change from HA, but from ZWaveJS. They're recognizing a new command class that the developers at iBlinds actually recommend.
I don't believe the old power switch commands work with the new command class. When I go into a specific device in ZwaveJS, the switch type devices are greyed out.
if you go into the switch, it shows it as unavailable.
I would guess the power on/off cover.close / cover.open are remnants and probably need to be removed.
