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:

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.
Hi @toggledbits
I'm trying to use OWM, apparently, I receive the correct information, but after a while, the MSR disconnects.
My configuration is as follows.
- id: weather enabled: true implementation: OWMWeatherController name: OWM Weather config: # Place your OWM API key here (remember to enable the controller after adding your appid) appid: "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" # How often weather is allowed to be refreshed. This helps limit OWN API use, # to keep you in their good graces (and on their free tier). This value is # in minutes. interval: 30 locations: - id: home name: Home Weather # Set the location by specifying ONE OF: latitude+longitude, OWN city # ID, or location (as postal,country). If none is set, the system # location will be used. latitude: 8.9936 longitude: -79.5197 city_id: 3703443 #location: "30269,us" # Enable "save_full_response" to save the full response (you may have # need to use parts of the response that are not part of the wx # capability in your dashboard widgets). #save_full_response: falseWhen I request a systemctl status reactor I get this message:

After a prolonged power cut, the UPS was unable to cope with the weather and shut down the entire system.
When I returned, I had the problem that the host time displayed in the browser and automatically used in the rules was not correct.
I searched for a topic here on this forum that talked about it, but it referred to a container installation. There was a recommendation to go into the storage/states directory and delete the files and restart MSR, I did it and it didn't solve the problem.
There was also a recommendation to go directly to the browser to check the time, and I did so and I see that the time is correct.

As you can see on the screen above:
MSR browser shows the correct browser time 21:23, but host time 13:02; In the browser below the direct query and the host time is correct 9:22:54 PM; Setting the VM date command on the third screen, the time is 9:23:00 PM.I've opened the entire reactor.log file and searched for any errors, and there aren't any.

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.Good afternoon,
I'm running my MSR instance on an old NAS server running Fedora 37 Server. This is an older Core i5-4690K server that has served me well overall, but it's showing it's age, and will often reboot into maint mode if it applies updates overnight. I've been trying to troubleshoot, but it's also in my office (makes my office hot), and I'm looking at getting either a QNAP or Syslogy rack mount NAS to replace it.
What I'm wondering is what the process would be to migrate my current MSR config and move it to a different platform. I have quite a large ruleset that I don't want to have to recreate. I know I can run it in a container on either platform, but I'm not sure how I would migrate all my rules over. Is there one config file that has all of the rules, or could I simply copy my /reactor directory over to a enw platform?
I am also considering moving the MSR instance to a stand alone RPI 4 with a SSD. This way, while I'm migrating all of my files off of my NAS, I'm not loosing Reactor's functionality until I have whichever rack mount NAS I go with up and running, with all of the data migrated.
Thoughts?
Hello,
I've installed MSR in a Docker container on my Synology NAS. I'm able to access my Vera, but I'm having trouble using the Reactor import within the Docker environment. I'm using the Docker terminal, and I've navigated to "/opt/reactor". However, when I try to run the command, it's telling me I'm not in the installation directory, even though I can see the "tools" directory and the "apps.js" file there. I've also tried changing the file permissions, but nothing seems to work. How do you manage this in a Synology Docker container? Do you use the terminal inside Docker, or SSH into the Synology itself? I'm not finding the "/opt/reactor" path, but I see a "/var/reactor" directory, which I placed in my storage folder.
ERROR: This script must only be run from the Reactor app directory.
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:

I'm running latest-23218-ebab7a1b.
I added the Proximity integration to HA to create automations based on if a person is on vacation or not. The integration creates an entity and its x_hass.state is the distance to the zone you have setup in HA. For some reason MSR sees that value as a string so I am not able to use the<, >, etc operators as a trigger. Is there anyway this could be fixed without needing to convert the string in a local expression?

SMTP notifications had been working fine and I am unsure exactly what action(s) stopped it from working.
I have verified that the SMTP server configured in notifications.yml is working properly.
To duplicate the problem I am forcing an SMTP email notification using the set reaction play button, the reactor.log shows the following errors:

I have a rule that's driving my pool heater to match the solar excess. In the previous iteration, I checked for the status every minute, but I wanted something different and smarter. The logic is basically:
run continuously from 9:15 to 18:15 check for conditions, and if there's solar excess, use the power to turn on the heater, then wait 1 minute to check again turn off the heater, then wait 5 minutes to prevent frequent on/off cyclesI thought that this could be very similar to Reactor-Ex machina's logic, so I crafted a rule that's basically doing the same: an infinite loop from 9:15 to 18:15 that's checking for status and has a delay based on the heater's condition.
All went well, but after a couple of hours, I got this:
Reaction task "49683" failed due to an exception. Please see the log. rule-liy7z3gf:S (Pool-Heater-Solar) step 0: Error: Task has run too much! Runaway?and the rule was reset (and the heater was left on). Is that by design and I should adopt another strategy? What are others doing when they have a state machine?
With the EV charger I did two groups of condition, each triggering every x minutes based on the charger status, but this seems less smarter and very rudimental. Any suggestion is appreciated. Thanks.

The application I installed runs Java and opens the console to send the information.
Has anyone tried to bring the information into the MSR? Or even a VeraPlus?
Thanks.
Hi
I am stuck trying to extract the "SignalLevel" value which is the WIFI Signal Strength off my Foscam via a http request. The request returns this, which isn't Json formatted data I don't think.
<CGI_Result> <result>0</result> <SignalLevel>52</SignalLevel> </CGI_Result>I created a rule that saves the http response into a Global Expression
872f534e-5899-43e4-ade5-f2b8ab54a412-image.png
But I am struggling to work out what is the correct expression code to extract the value?
Can anyone more knowledgeable please help?
Thank you.
Hi
Today in MSR alerts I see 100 alerts saying that the devices on my Ezlo controllers no longer exist.
They do still exist. I checked some of these devices in the Ezlo Online API Tool doing a hub.devices.list query.
I then checked that the ID numbers were the same for the devices and they are the same device ID's still.
So my devices do still exist with the same device ID's it seems.
So not sure why MSR has over 100 alerts saying otherwise.
9d7c4732-40f3-4551-b8d4-e24e0e8dda10-image.png
I then looked in Entities selected my Ezlo Plus controller and it listed all my devices OK I think and nothing looked out of place.
Thanks
I just discovered there is a secret webpage I didn't know about for my Asus Merlin router that when I run it in a browser gives me all the routers current temperatures.
http://192.168.0.1/ajax_coretmp.asp
249c6e47-38ae-4812-b149-da1fd22072cb-image.png
I have to be logged into the router to access it however.
I tried to create an MSR rule with a HTTP request to store all this data in to a local expression.
But it looks like its not passing or accepting the username and password for my router, I tried Basic and Digest.
I just get this back in the local expression in the rule.
(string) "<HTML><HEAD><script>window.top.location.href='/Main_Login.asp';</script>\n</HEAD></HTML>\n"The data returned in the browser looked like this:
curr_coreTmp_wl0_raw = "43°C"; curr_coreTmp_wl0 = (curr_coreTmp_wl0_raw.indexOf("disabled") > 0 ? 0 : curr_coreTmp_wl0_raw.replace("°C", "")); curr_coreTmp_wl1_raw = "49°C"; curr_coreTmp_wl1 = (curr_coreTmp_wl1_raw.indexOf("disabled") > 0 ? 0 : curr_coreTmp_wl1_raw.replace("°C", "")); curr_coreTmp_wl2_raw = "disabled"; curr_coreTmp_wl2 = (curr_coreTmp_wl2_raw.indexOf("disabled") > 0 ? 0 : curr_coreTmp_wl2_raw.replace("°C", "")); curr_coreTmp_wl3_raw = "disabled"; curr_coreTmp_wl3 = (curr_coreTmp_wl3_raw.indexOf("disabled") > 0 ? 0 : curr_coreTmp_wl3_raw.replace("°C", "")); curr_cpuTemp = "66.495"; fanctrl_info = "";I know how to do this for webpages and sites that give back JSON data, however this data I am not sure what format it is, Javascript ? The page is a .asp ajax page.
So not sure if this is possible ?
I really wanted to monitor the CPU temps on my router as its been getting very hot, even with extra USB fans now on the back of it. Think its a firmware bug maybe in the Asus firmware as others have been talking about it online.
Thanks.
So, I've just installed two venetian blinds and I want to control their lamellas with Fibaro FGRM222.
According to the old place, this could be accomplished with some Zwave raw messages and I'm OK with it.
Since I've moved (mostly) everything virtual in MSR, I'm now ready to add a virtual device with actions.
Looking at the docs, it seems possible, but it's not documented. @toggledbits any hints? I want to define a cover and send Zwave commands to the existing x_vera_svc_micasaverde_com_ZWaveNetwork1.SendData action. Thanks.
@toggledbits,
I'm not sure if this is something you've looked into (or something I'm completely missing in the installation documentation), but would it be possible to add user authentication to the MSR frontend? On my Home Assistant instance, I have external access set up using Cloudflare, and I can add other instances within my network to that Cloudflare configuration, but without any sort of authentication to access MSR, I obviously can't open it to the internet, unless I want random people screwing around with my home automation.
I've just updated to 23218 and now I'm getting this:
27a959bd-486b-41ae-8137-c5f456044a82-image.png
There seems to be related to global variables. The first and last ones are global reactions, while the second is a normal one. All are setting global variables.
Hey @toggledbits was wondering if we could have the latest reactor version number as an attribute for the Reactor System entity. It would be useful for me so I can use it for my wget command to automatically download the latest .tar.gz file. Ideally the complete version number like this 23171-85463e02.
@toggledbits ,
I was just taking a look at some of my scheduling to adjust for a new work schedule, and I noticed that the checkboxes for days of the week appear to be off.
75e1b936-1693-4db1-8ed5-ecfae57d3abf-image.png
if you'll notice in the screenshot, Sun - Tuesday are good, but then Sat comes next, then Wed, then Sat again, then Wed again. No TGIF in this week.
I know this isn't how I set up the rules (which would explain the behavior I was investigating).
Edit: BTW, I checked all my Week Day entries, and they are all like this.
I'm running latest-23196-40ef07f4 on Fedora 37 Server w/o Docker.
[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:
647.yaml
manufacturer_id: 647 manufacturer_name: "HAB Home Intelligence, LLC" version: 23093 revision: 1 format: 1
and I do not have a
ext/ZWaveJSController/zwave_devices.yaml
but do have aext/ZWaveJSController/zwavejs_devices.yaml
and it showsversion: 23052 revision: 1 format: 1
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.
-
@toggledbits Ok, release deployed.
ext/ZWaveJSController/zwavejs_devices.yaml

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.
