      Just thought i'd mention it, as I've walked into it multiple times when editing rules:
      dbc9e2c8-887e-46bd-8e3c-1364eb99bb03-image.png

      When I make/edit rules, i'm used to pressing "save" through the process, and when I do that, theres only the red one left to press. It does make sense, as its already saved, but I'll stop and think one more time when it says w/o saving.
      In my head, a exit button which causes a pop-up warning if changes are not saved makes more sense - like in vera reactor.

      Feel free to discard the idea, its just something to get used to mabye. 🙂

    • Constraints (no data) rule actions have never run

      cw-kid

      Hi

      I have a problem rule it seems. Its set to turn off my Festoon lights at 23:55pm and in the constraints checks if those lights are already turned on ?

      And the reaction is to turn them off.

      Since I setup the rule my lights have never turned off.

      In the summary card I can see (no data)

      On this screen shot it says the power switch state is TRUE.
      The switch is actually OFF at the moment, I have hard refreshed the browser but it still says True.

      dacb145e-8c3a-49a6-8fc8-aff6ff9e65d4-image.png

      I can go to Scope and add a trace on this device and it does track if its turned on or off OK.

      The device is one side of a Fibaro Dual Relay module.

      Any clues?

      Thanks

    • MSR in Alpine Docker

      PerH

      I have a docker running smoothly now, thought i'd share it. (and BTW, it looks awesome, Patrick!)
      So far i've only opened 8111, and /config as volume. Mabye the full /reactor folder should be exposed for easy updating?

      docker compose:

      version: "3.9" services: MSR: container_name: MSR restart: always image: perhu/msr-alpine:latest ports: - "8111:8111" volumes: - type: volume source: MSR-config target: /etc/reactor/config - type: volume source: MSR-Storage target: /etc/reactor/storage volumes: MSR-config: name: MSR-config MSR-storage: name: MSR-storage

      dockerfile for those who want to modify the image:

      FROM alpine:latest COPY /reactor/. /etc/reactor/ RUN apk add --update nodejs npm && cd /etc/reactor \ && npm install --loglevel error --no-save \ && cp dist-config/* config/ VOLUME ["/etc/reactor/config"] VOLUME ["/etc/reactor/storage"] EXPOSE 8111 CMD ["/bin/sh"] WORKDIR /etc/reactor CMD ["node", "/etc/reactor/app.js"]

    • Delays not working as expected

      J

      I seem to be having some issues with delays, so I set up a test as follows:

      38b96d15-e56b-4a53-bc55-861789e77194-image.png

      14bc4aab-ec56-46d3-b81d-04797f92eb74-image.png

      258343a3-e489-43ef-99d5-ae1a76b30ad2-image.png

      If the second rule is disabled, the first rule works as I expect - when motion is detected in the Hall, the Hall lamp switches on and then off again 10 seconds later.

      With both rules enabled - when motion is detected in the Hall the Hall lamp switches on, but then if motion is detected in the Dining room, the Dining room lamp switches on, but the Hall lamp does not switch off after the 10 seconds , but after the 30 seconds when both lamps switch off at the same time.

      Is this a bug, or just my understanding of how it should work?

    • Trying to work around no lua reactions

      T

      Hey Patrick,

      So I had mentioned earlier that I was using some lua in my reactor activities. I had the idea to move the lua into vera scenes and invoke the scene in a MSR reaction. The problem is I am getting a lot of luup restarts. I tried rebooting the vera as well but it remains unstable. i never really had a problem running the lua within reactor. A example of the lua I am using is to send IR codes to my older TV's that only support IR. Code as follows

      --[[Samsung TV Antenna----]] local socket = require("socket") tcp = assert(socket.connect("192.168.255.204", 4998)) tcp:send("sendir,1:3,1,38000,1,1,172,172,21,64,21,64,21,64,21,21,21,21,21,21,21,21,21,21,21,64,21,64,21,64,21,21,21,21,21,21,21,21,21,21,21,64,21,64,21,21,21,64,21,64,21,21,21,21,21,21,21,21,21,21,21,64,21,21,21,21,21,64,21,64,21,64,21,1673" .. "\r\n") tcp:close()

      So I though I would try the Global Cache CG100 plugin that is a Vera App that will also send the codes. It does show up under entity action but the sendcodeset option is not available. The following pictures show how it looks under Vera Reactor and MSR.

    • Synology Docker installation

      LibraSun

      @toggledbits I followed to the letter your excellent step-by-step guide on launching a Docker container from the image I fetched from PR #58 this morning.

      All proceeded swimmingly – folder creation, image upload, settings & parameters, etc. – until the moment of actual Launch.

      Whereupon, Docker threw up the following on-screen "Stopped Unexpectedly" warning (which repeated every 30 seconds or so until I Stop'ped the container from running/restarting):
      docker_msr_stopped.png

      Concurrently, every attempt to access http://<mySynNAS_IP>:8111/ resulted in a "This site can't be reached" error page in Chrome (under Windows, mind you).

      Immediately, I took the liberty of inspecting and Export'ing the logfile (Container ► Details ► Log) as an HTML file, which I attach below (oops, no attachment feature in this forum, so here is the direct link) for your inspection.

      Hope you find some clues, because I'm not at all sure where things went wrong. (The only facet of setup where I expressly deviated from your typed notes involved creating a "Shared" (i.e. top-level, rather than under /home) folder called "Reactor" with r/w access, under which I created a subfolder named "Data", to which I pointed /var/reactor during container creation.)

      Excellent write-up and thanks for the chance to test this out!!

      Libra

      FOLLOW-UP NOTES
      I do see where Container ► Edit ► Environment ► variable PATH has a value of "/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin" which strikes me as odd, but maybe that's normal nomenclature? (By contract, Windows and DOS always use semicolons, not colons, to separate PATH variable entries.)

      RESOLVED
      Noting that the Log displayed an error message related to /var/reactor/config, I went and created a folder named 'config' (all lowercase) under the NAS's top-level Reactor\Data folder, then restarted the container. It's running fine now, and I'm able to access the :8111 interface for the first time.
      Log ► "Configuration path: /var/reactor/config resolved /var/reactor/config"

      SUGGEST
      Please add explicit declaration in your How-To regarding the need for a /config underneath the data folder.

    • Multi-System Reactor Developer Preview AVAILABLE

      toggledbits

      OK, people, here we go! At long last, Multi-System Reactor developer preview is available!

      The package can be downloaded from the Reactor bug tracker, a MantisBT system (at https://reactor.toggledbits.com/mantisbt/). There is a download button in the left margin, as well as links to the documentation, which you will need for installation.

      UPDATE 2021-02-24 -- To keep spammers off, I've locked down registration on the Bug Tracker. To get access to the Bug Tracker and preview downloads, please PM me (not reply here) your full name and email address and I will set up an account for you.

      This version of MSR will run on Linux systems, including RPi's under Raspios Buster, running node.js version 12.10 or higher (v14.15.1). For RPi users, there is an installation script that will install a local copy of node.js (for the logged-in user).

      Bugs reports will be handled through the bug tracker only. Discussion and questions in this forum are fine, though (if that leads to a bug report, we'll transition).

      This version supports Vera and openLuup, Hubitat, and Home Assistant. Some of the device support on the H platforms is still a bit basic, but it is largely controlled by configuration and progress can be made quickly.

      The documentation beyond installation is a mess. Of course, I started with the existing documentation and have been massaging into MSR's particulars, but it still has a long way to go on the detail.

      I know I don't have to say this, but I will anyway... let me know how it goes!

    • OpenLuup entities flashing

      rafale77

      Scenes and room don't flash as frequently as they used to but they still do.
      I am starting a thread here though it seems to be an openLuup issue.
      Everytime something in a room updates, the room entity flashes which is to be expected but I am seeing the same thing with scenes which are not running or triggered.

      I also open a ticket regarding an error I am seeing at startup regarding HVAC devices on openLuup which appears to be a syntax error.

    • Issue with this Night rule?

      cw-kid

      Hi

      I have a rule that turns on my interior porch entrance light when its night and the front door is opened.

      Its set to keep the light on for 1 minute and then turn it off.

      I've been back in the house for well over an hour but just noticed the porch light is still on and hasn't turned off.

      Its 21:17 pm here now.

      This is the rules summary card:

      d3dd2022-256c-4e75-b93b-3d1f40a9689b-image.png

      I setup the Night rule as a Global Rule and its referenced in this rule.

      Any clues ?

      Thanks

      EDIT: I should add that this rule has worked OK previously and the light has turned off after I have entered and the minute has passed.

    • Support for 3rd party Vera plugins ?

      Hi

      Does the Reactor plugin for Vera support some 3rd party Vera plugins such as the Logitech Harmony plugin for example ?

      In PLEG I am able to select a Harmony hub device and create some logic based on its various states.

      Other plugin examples might be the RGB Controller plugin which I am using with Fibaro RGBW modules, I can start the various light animations on the Fibaro RGBW module.

      Or the AltHue plugin which exposes aspects of the Hue Bridge like ColorLoop or to be able to start Hue Scenes etc.

      With MSR all this type of functionality is currently lost.

      Obviously a work around would be to create Vera scenes instead and have those use these types of 3rd party plugins features and have MSR call those scenes. Don't think that would work for the Harmony plugin though where you are wanting to query states of the hub in your logic.

      I am just wondering how Reactor plugin for Vera currently works in this respect and what any plans for MSR might be ?

      Thank you.

      I am so excited!

      Sorry that I need to bother with a noob question at the first step😂
      Does this box need to be checked for MSR to run nicley?

      Go ahead and open a PR for it, and we'll use that to track it.

      "You need to use 0.0 to 1.0, not 0 to 255 (just like dimming values)."

      How would I set the colour Purple as an example ?

      Its RGB value is: 128, 0, 128

      Thanks

      Everyone: for some weeks now, I've buried myself in getting as much done on MSR as possible before this coming week. This is the week I had planned to put out the first developer preview of MSR, and it's looking good for that to happen.

      The first previews will be for Linux-based systems only, and will not be docker containers, but stand-alone installs. You'll need to be running a fairly modern version of Ubuntu, Debian, etc. (so that includes RPi Raspios Buster).

      What I really need at this early stage is people who will give me good, solid data on what doesn't go well. I really cannot, at this stage, spend time with anyone who isn't functionally fluent with Linux system administration. While I suspect most of the people here are already firmly in the former camp, I'm about to make a public announcement on the Vera forums that I suspect will drive a new cadre of people here, so the mix may change a bit. But it's simply a fact that the better the information I get up front, the faster I can fix things that have gone wrong, thus the more I can fix in any given period of time, and the sooner it will be that my time will be freed so I can start helping everyone.

      I will be using this community as the focus of communication, as in, announcements and discussions. For issues, however, I have set up a MantisBT (Mantis Bug Tracker) server at https://reactor.toggledbits.com/mantisbt/ and I invite and encourage you to sign up. I will only address bugs opened in that tool. This is an administrative choice to keep me somewhat sane and not be overwhelmed by juggling feedback from however it might come at me. I'm pipelining the process.

      There's still a lot to do. I've been running my own house on it, but as I've often said, that's me running it one way -- one data point. I'm sure there will be a lot to look at. There are still some functional gaps, and the documentation is a mess, but I think that's less of an issue for current Reactor users than it is for newcomers.

      Stay tuned... more to follow....

        Very impressive and looking forward to it. I will do what I can with the limited time I have working on this these days... As I seem to be getting near unlimited work hours. I am thinking about creating a dedicated ubuntu20 VM for this.

          That's a big bat to hit it with, but perfectly workable. If it helps, I do all my development in a 2GB single core VM. I'm stubborn with things like that. If I can't make it run well on that, I'm doing it wrong. And it runs with a really light touch, so far, even though I have three Veras, Hass and Hubitat all integrated at once. Runs great on a RPi4 as well.

            Spinning up a dedicated VM on my synology right now in anticipation of the first preview. Can't wait!

                  I like Alpine. It's tiny. "Less is more."

                    I plan to switch from PLEG to MSR.

                    I've never used Reactor before ever.

                    Can't be any harder than PLEG right? 😁

                      @cw-kid ^^^ It's actually easier but it isn't the same. I haven't abandoned PLEG entirely as it is rock solid and use Reactor for new automations.
                      MSR is entirely different from what I see as it ties in different systems, for instance I'm looking at tying a Vera Lite, Vera Edge, Homeseer 3 & Homeseer 4 into one system.

                        So MSR is very different to the current Reactor in Vera?

                        I guess as I'll be starting from scratch with MSR it's the right time to start learning it and skip the current Reactor in Vera

                          MSR will be very familiar to users of Vera Reactor. There are changes, for sure, but conceptually it works very much the same, and many of the displays have a similar look and feel. The systems are close enough that I have been able to craft an importer to read a Vera Reactor backup file and create MSR rules and reactions (they still need review and adjustment, but at least it's not starting from a blank slate). The biggest difference is that Vera Reactor's device model is determined by Vera/Luup, where I had to invent a model for MSR. In doing so, I borrowed concepts from other available controllers and services like MQTT, choosing what I thought were the best ideas and set the stage for the broadest reach platform-wise, and the most extensibility. I would say that if you have something you want to get done today in Vera Reactor, go ahead and do it. It will only smooth the path for you starting with MSR.
