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.
If you are using the armv7l docker image, the OpenJS Foundation that publishes node is no longer producing 32-bit builds as of v24. That means the last supported LTS version of node for armv7l is v22, which will go End-of-Life in May 2027.
Therefore, the Reactor armv7l image is now deprecated and will only be produced until node v22 goes EOL, and I will not publish armv7l images beyond that date.
If you are running an RPi 3 or earlier with Reactor, you are on this image, and will need to upgrade hardware to a 64-bit model and use the arm64 image. If you need help getting it done, ask in this category.
@toggledbits I pulled the image (well, Watchtower did) and within minutes the whole system went offline.
The log looks like it ends with 26143.

I can SSH to the VM. Alas, I do not have the previous image for 26143 as I'm a little too quick sometimes on housekeeping.
Thanks again for the recent release. One thing I wanted to ask about integrations and their 'loaded' condition:
Is there something similar that applies to the entire controller? So if I have (for example) a helper in HA that is used to trigger an automation in MSR, is it possible to effectively exclude it until MSR is 'happy' that HA is stable and its values can be trusted?
This, actually goes back to the issue I had. I've got a use case where a 30 second delay from triggering is a bit of a PITA (sustained for...) and was just wondering if there's a way of knowing that 'native' HA functions are working correctly.
Probably asking wrong, or it's hideously obvious, but...
TIA

Hi. First off this is an unsupported version of HS 2026.5.2 so happy to be told it's that.
Currently running latest-26130-3d2a489a on a Debian Buster bare metal VM.
I've been working on moving away from OpenLuup completely and up until now have been using some virtual switches t manage things like 'Is there anyone home'
I have a binary sensor in HA that provides the same thing
binary_sensor.someone_home which appears in MSR as
hass>binary_sensor_someone_home
HA shows on or off. MSR shows true or false
All fine. The odd thing happened after an update of HA and a restart.
From HA
13:07:04 it turned off
13:07:11 it turned on
However that does not appear to have been reflected in MSR which turned all the heating and so on off as it is supposed to do, and I got all my notifications as I should.
Here's a huge log section (sorry) as I wanted to show how MSR identifies that HA is up and running at 12:07:08 (Zulu) but triggers the 'There's no one here' at 12:07:17 some 6 seconds after HA updated to on.
Checking in the interface MSR said the status was 'False' while HA stated 'On'

This is hardly the end of the world as HA restarting is rare and I simply hit refresh on the entity in MSR but is this some kind of race condition or something that needs addressing?
Hoping I've given enough data to make it sensible
C
I have a couple of rules that has group reactions with empty conditions. I notice, in particular on one that's called every 5 secs, that it was not working. I added an empty comment as condition and it started working again.
I don't know if saving was enough to "reset" it, but I'm reporting anyway. No errors in the logs, but the MQTT message was not published, so I had an easy path to check the rule.
I have others like these, but not easy to test. @toggledbits maybe some stuck status data? (I restarted a couple of times after the last update). Thanks.
TL;DR: Format of data in storage directory will soon change. Make sure you are backing up the contents of that directory in its entirety, and you preserve your backups for an extended period, particularly the backup you take right before upgrading to the build containing this change (date of that is still to be determined, but soon). The old data format will remain readable (so you'll be able to read your pre-change backups) for the foreseeable future.
In support of a number of other changes in the works, I have found it necessary to change the storage format for Reactor objects in storage at the physical level.
Until now, plain, standard JSON has been used to store the data (everything under the storage directory). This has served well, but has a few limitations, including no real support for native JavaScript objects like Date, Map, Set, and others. It also is unable to store data that contains "loops" — objects that reference themselves in some way.
I'm not sure exactly when, but in the not-too-distant future I will publish a build using the new data format. It will automatically convert existing JSON data to the new format. For the moment, it will save data in both the new format and the old JSON format, preferring the former when loading data from storage. I have been running my own home with this new format for several months, and have no issues with data loss or corruption.
A few other things to know:
If you are not already backing up your storage directory, you should be. At a minimum, back this directory up every time you make big changes to your Rules, Reactions, etc.
Your existing JSON-format backups will continue to be readable for the long-term (years). The code that loads data from these files looks for the new file format first (which will have a .dval suffix), and if not found, will happily read (and convert) a same-basenamed .json file (i.e. it looks for ruleid.dval first, and if it doesn't find it, it tries to load ruleid.json). I'll publish detailed instructions for restoring from old backups when the build is posted (it's easy).
The new .dval files are not directly human-readable or editable as easily as the old .json files. A new utility will be provided in the tools directory to convert .dval data to .json format, which you can then read or edit if you find that necessary. However, that may not work for all future data, as my intent is to make more native JavaScript objects directly storable, and many of those objects cannot be stored in JSON.
You may need to modify your backup tools/scripts to pick up the new files: if you explicitly name .json files (rather than just specifying the entire storage directory) in your backup configuration, you will need to add .dval files to get a complete, accurate backup. I don't think this will be an issue for any of you; I imagine that you're all just backing up the entire contents of storage regardless of format/name, that is the safest (and IMO most correct) way to go (if that's not what you're doing, consider changing your approach).
The current code stores the data in both the .dval form and the .json form to hedge against any real-world problems I don't encounter in my own use. Some future build will drop this redundancy (i.e. save only to .dval form). However, the read code for the .json form will remain in any case.
This applies only to persistent storage that Reactor creates and controls under the storage tree. All other JSON data files (e.g. device data for Controllers) are unaffected by this change and will remain in that form. YAML files are also unaffected by this change.
This thread is open for any questions or concerns.
[RESOLVED] Telegram notification broke with latest update

Running MSR "latest-26174-bd90c17c" via a docker within unRAID. With this latest docker update a day or two ago, Telegram stopped working. In looking at the logs, the ultimate error is that the chat_id is missing. I verified that my chat ID is still noted within the notifications YAML, but the reactor log still shows it failing. If I manually paste the chat ID into the notification field in the GUI, MSR will send the telegram message. It appears to be ignoring the "If left blank, the profile's default_chat_id value will be used."

If it might help with the investigation, here is the error message I'm getting when I run the query.

OK. Fix coming soon...

I upgraded the docker to version latest-26177-be756a68. Unfortunately I am still not getting my Telegram alerts unless I put the Chat ID in the GUI. I don't know if it matters, but my chat_id starts with a "-". I think I have another chat ID that does not start/show as a negative ID. I can't test with that ID though.

I think my situation with Telegram is a little different. Version 26177 has actually partially resolved the sending issue.
I have two profiles set up, with two token and two ChatID, as you can see below (change the token and ChatID). For the first profile, I can send a message without entering the Chat ID in “Set Reaction.” For the second profile, if I leave it blank, it doesn’t send the message—it doesn’t use the settings I’ve configured. If I enter the Chat ID for the second profile, then the message sends perfectly.

@toggledbits I ran tests after upgrading Node.js, and the scenario is as described above; for the second profile, it only works if you enter the Chat ID.

Now that the log file has fewer errors (Node.js), I can see this log message appear—I'm not sure if it helps.
