I'm slowly migrating all my stuff to MQTT under MSR, so I have a central place to integrate everything (and, in a not-so-distant future, to remove virtual devices from my Vera and leave it running zwave only).
Anyway, here's my reactor-mqtt-contrib package:
GitHub - dbochicchio/reactor-mqtt-contrib: Contrib MQTT templates for Reactor
GitHub - dbochicchio/reactor-mqtt-contrib: Contrib MQTT templates for Reactor
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.
Reactor version: 24212

As per @toggledbits request, here's a new topic.
My Fibaro Door Window Sensor 2 (FGDW002) is always reporting as open, even if
x_zwave_values.Notification_Access_Control_Door_state=23 x_zwave_values.Notification_Access_Control_Door_state_simple=23which means that the door is closed. It was working before and I could downgrade to test, if necessary. Thanks.
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.
In the example, it's zwavejs>65-2:

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:
8305eccf-a99e-421f-ad18-1f08da9c8c9c-image.png
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.

I think this feature request could be accomplished with the use of two or more rules, but it would be great if there was a way to wait for an event or trigger to occur before continuing on in the reactions.
For example, I have a rule that will turn on some exterior lights if you arrive home after the porch lights have been turned off. Right now this rule randomly will turn off between 5-10 minutes after the person has entered the geofence. On some occasions this 5-10 minutes isn't long enough, say if you are unloading the car or something. I would like to kick off the reaction, but pause it part way through and wait for the door to close and lock, then continue it on. Hubitat Rule Machine has a "Wait for event" option, but I really want to keep all my logic within MSR.
Hi,
Running the latest version 24212 on docker.
I want to run some appliances when my solar panels deliver over 1200 watts to the net. In this example the dryer. So when the dryer is turned on, the rule starts (SET). There first is a 3 min delay in case the dryer is turned on manually, that is group "Check if auto start is needed". If the dryer is not running, the status is set to waiting, and the shown Repeat Until should wait as long the power delivered is higher than -1200 for at least 120 seconds and the status is still waiting. Higher as the value is negative. For some reason that repeat until "DR Wait for solar high or manual start" looks skipped. Nothing in the logs. What am I missing?
Reactor Automation.png (g_DryerStatus should have been "waiting" and not "running" the moment the log was captured, so that should not be the issue. Unless it takes some time for a variable to actually change?)
Cheers Rene
I have got some warnings i reactor that a rule is throttled because it update rate is over 120/minute, happens now and when with a week or two in between.
The rule monitors my house power consumption when charging my car, and if if consumption risks to kill a main fuse, it stops the charging.
Thought I was clever when I in Constraints added that my car should be located at home and charging is active, but apparantly it wasn't clever enough...
I had understand it that if Constraints isn't true, then the triggers isn't evaluated.
I have a Shelly 3EM meter that measure three channel/phases and updates every second. So just for this three channels it is 180 updates per minute...
And now when I start to take a closer look I can se in my logs that this rule is evaluated with every value change on any of the three phases...
So ~11MB of logs only goes back in time around 16 hours...🙀
So what is the best solution?
Should move my "Constraints" in an new trigger group, before my existing triggers?
Rule as it is now

Hi!
I'm wondering if it's possible now, or if it's something that can be solved in a future version, to be able to remove the entities that no longer exist and are crossed out all at once. Currently, you have to mark them one by one, which takes a lot of time. Is there any way to make this more efficient?
I'm on MSR version 24212-3ce15e25.
Thanks!

[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:

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.yamlinext/ZWaveJSController/manufacturerand check the version. It should be 23093. And yourext/ZWaveJSController/zwave_devices.yamlfile 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.yamlmanufacturer_id: 647 manufacturer_name: "HAB Home Intelligence, LLC" version: 23093 revision: 1 format: 1and I do not have a

-
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 Switchfor its generic class, andMotor Control Class Cas 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
reinterviewon 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.closeand the[0] NO (default)setting for direction vs having it set to[1] YESto make it tilt the way I want it to when closed.I was using
power_switch.offpreviously to close my v3.1's. -
UPDATE: after many lost hours last night/this morning (hello, 0230 ET, looking at you) I found
cover.xandpower_switch.xto be woefully unreliable after reinterviewing the blinds.What has proven reliable is
position.setfor which I use0forclosed,50foropenand have the blinds (as they were previously) set to[1] YESforReverse Direction.Hubitat C-7 2.3.9.163

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 Blindfromzwavejs. As @tamorgen notes, there is also a new one (with the changes HA made) from my HASS controller calledBeach Blind Horizontal Slates Anglewhich 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_configThese are the ones I most commonly use to open, close, and tilt the blinds.
refreshis used to force HA to update dasheboards with any changes andset_configI use less often, weekly, to recalibrate the blinds as they do wander sometimes and "open" becomes "open-ish".I'd been using
power_switch.onto open andcover.closeto 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/closedbut the blind was clearly wide open.Last night/this morning I opted to use
position.setand it's been pretty solid from what I've seen throughout the day.
position.set=0nets me a closed blind,position.set=.5nets me a wide open/"slates level with the ground" blind. I usedposition.set=.2or.3to 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.
