Just updated to latest 21294, ran usual update, It appears to start ok in console, but will not load in browser. The NODE_path looks correct but the console log show the below error.

@toggledbits Master, following the discussion of this thread, the variable FaultMSG is composed with the list of devices that will be displayed, example below.
07849e24-9a19-4957-a585-cfcd12088620-image.png
As you can see, the final string of devices, not sorted by name, follows the array generated by the device ID, composed one step earlier.
07fec184-0814-45e4-b689-533372af1fb4-image.png
Is it possible to sort by device name? Before generating the string? I think when generating the array?
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 few new functions have worked their way into Reactor's expression language over the last couple of months, and while they are documented in the change logs and documentation, it seems some of you are not aware of them, so I'm going to pick one out and highlight it, maybe do others later...
A lot of you build strings in expressions by simple concatenation, and there's nothing wrong with that, but there's a new function in the expression language that can help you clean things up, in particular when handling numeric values.
I've noticed many of you will round your results either on the calculation, or in some cases, in a separate variable. For example, say we have a pair of expressions that retrieves the indoor and outdoor temperature from a sensor and the weather service:
indoor = getEntity( 'hubitat>144' ).attributes.temperature_sensor.value' ) outdoor = getEntity( 'weather>home' ).attributes.wx.temperatureThe weather service, since it converts from degrees K in its reporting to degrees C, may have an irrational or repeating value (e.g. 8.233333333...). As a result, when you compute the difference, it, too, may have an irrational or repeating result, so you decide to round it to one decimal:
tempDiff = round( outdoor - indoor, 1 )Then, perhaps you have a rule that if the differential is greater than 10 degrees, you send a notification, and the notification uses all three variables in the message string:
${{ 'The outdoor temperature is ' + outdoor + 'C and the indoor temperature is ' + indoor + 'C; the difference is ' + tempDiff + 'C' }}This is fine, except that the outdoor temperature isn't rounded, so you decide to fix that. There are at least three ways: add a round() to the outdoor variable expression, or create a third variable like outdoorRounded = round( outdoor, 1 ), or, use the round() function into the substitution expression
${{ 'The outdoor temperature is ' + round( outdoor, 1 ) + 'C and the indoor temperature is ' + indoor + 'C; the difference is ' + tempDiff + 'C' }}It's all getting very messy... Let's use format() instead of string concatenation, and not worry about rounding the difference, so we keep the maximum precision possible for any calcs or tests that use it. We go back to:
indoor = getEntity( 'hubitat>144' ).attributes.temperature_sensor.value' ) outdoor = getEntity( 'weather>home' ).attributes.wx.temperature tempDiff = outdoor - indoorNow our string substitution:
${{ format( "The outdoor temperature is {0:.1f}C and the indoor temperature is {1:.1f}C; the difference is {2:.1f}C", outdoor, indoor, tempDiff ) }}Here, format() is building the message string. Each {} (curly-brace) pair denotes the substitution of a parameter to follow. The number first inside the opening curly brace is the parameter number, starting from 0 as the first parameter. So parameter 0 in this example refers to the variable outdoor, and 1 is indoor, and 2 is tempDiff. Using the numbers, parameters can be inserted in any order.
Each of these substitutions in the example includes an optional format specification. If no format specification is given (e.g. {0}), then the parameter is converted to a string with no special formatting, but since we can get numbers like 8.233333... it's desirable to use some formatting to make it pretty. The format is separated from the parameter number by the : (colon) in the substitution. The format we're using for all three parameters is .1f, which is <width>.<precision>f. Any number before the dot is a fixed field width, but since we want no extra spaces, we just don't specify a width (it's blank for our example), and the value will take as much space as it needs. The f at the end tells format() that the value is going to be formatted as a floating point number, and the .1 before the f tells the formatter to display a single decimal digit. So our 8.23333333 value would be displayed as 8.2, without using extra functions or variables, or dropping precision in a calculation. For clarity, 10.875 would be displayed/inserted as 10.9 in this example, because the formatter will round the displayed result to the specified number of decimal digits.
Tip: for simple string insertions that require no special formatting, format() will let you skip the parameter numbers if the parameters are in the same order as the substitutions, and the default format is (generic) string (s), so format( "{} x {} = {}", "alpha", "beta", "gamma" ) produces the string alpha x beta = gamma.
Docs for format are in the Reactor documentation under the heading Special Reactor Functions.

Just noticed that when trying to reorder some expressions, e.g. move the most recent one from the bottom of the list to the first, this new order didn't "stick".
At first yes, but when visiting some other menus (obviously saving before that) and then coming back, the moved item was in its original position (in the end of the list).
I currently have 29 global expressions (which may or may not have some relevance to this problem). Using build 21281 on linux.
Can log a PR with logs, if this seems hard to reproduce.

Is there a way to back-up MSR Rule Sets and Configuration. I need to update my QNAP Container Station MSR install which I understand is not straight forward. If it all goes pear-shaped, and I loose my Rule Sets and Configuration, I wondered if it could be restored from a previous back-up?
Also, can someone possibly point me to the best method to update the MSR install on my QNAP?

Hi
I have some devices on my Vera Plus controller that sometimes change to say "Can't detect device".
I can clear those red banners that show up in the Vera UI7 web GUI, for a device by running some LUA code like this:
luup.set_failure(0, 331)Maybe I can use the new MSR matchEntities to find and detect any devices on Vera that have developed the "Can't detect device" error and then reset them. ?
I can currently manually specify a particular problem device in a ruleset trigger like this:
6f789006-ce19-4776-b3dd-290e28e84c8b-image.png
But if I could have a rule that automatically detects any device that develops this problem that would be better.
Thanks

@toggledbits I added an IP camera to my Ezlo for testing and my global variable for Ezlo devices that are not responding randomly do a quick toggle from empty to "IP camera" then back to empty.

Is it the controller interface not supporting IP cameras or something else causing this?

Hi,
I feel a bit stupid with this issue since I know it is working and that it worked before.
I just can't seem to have a date range (between) going past dec 31 to work. In the interim, I manage to acheive what I want by using the "not between" equivalent.
I am using MSR on a raspberry Pi and I do have the latest development version (21286).
Here is a screen capture on which I have both the "between" and its equivalent "not Between" just so that you could see it.
I is probably something stupid and apologise in advance.
Thanks

In the background of other work, I've been putting together a build system for the OpenWrt version that Ezlo is using on the Plus. Job done. I can build pretty much any package, which may come in handy some day.
As a test of that, I thought, why not build nodejs... and you know where that leads, right?
It took some doing. There are a lot of dependencies, and the errors you get when the dependencies aren't met correctly can be cryptic and took quite a bit of research and experimentation to resolve... weeks, in fact, over a couple of hours here, a couple there.
But it's done and I now have Reactor running on an Ezlo Plus.
I'm not sure what the long term utility of this might be. Since the new Ezlo philosophy is to upgrade your system automatically on reboots, and so far the upgrades have wiped substantial parts of the file system in my experience, this could be a non-starter as a platform — you wouldn't want your automations to get blown off the machine every time Ezlo upgrades firmware (because you don't know when that's going to be, and Murphy says it will be while you are on vacation with no remote access). But, if there is some place it can be tucked away safely, or if, as probably should be demanded by the user community, updates become elective and user-driven, it actually makes a nice Pi-ish platform to run on.
On to the next skunkworks project...

Timestamps do not match the UI time or the system time:

I have the TZ in the compose file as:

I'd like to invoke in Reactor a Home Assistant service through the HA API. I use the following code in a vera plugin I wrote to send an HTTP request to Home Assistant to trigger an announcement on Alexa--using a Home Assistant Alexa integration that you can install through HACS.
myEchoDevice = "alexa_media_".. myEchoDevice myEchoMessage = table.concat(myEchoMessage) local request_body = json.encode {message = myEchoMessage, data = {["type"] = "announce",method = "all"}} local response_body = {} local theURL = 'http://'..HomeAssistantIP..':'..HomeAssistantPort..'/api/services/notify/'..myEchoDevice r, c, h = http.request { url = theURL, method = "POST", headers = { ["Content-Type"] = "application/json", ["Authorization"] = "Bearer ".. HomeAssistantToken, ["Content-Length"] = request_body:len() }, source = ltn12.source.string(request_body), sink = ltn12.sink.table(response_body) }I don't see the "notify" service in the HA attributes revealed by reactor. Is there a way to access the Home Assistant API through reactor, or do I need to use HTTP requests to initiate services.

Hi Patrick! @toggledbits
I don't remember before version 21277 receiving this kind of message.

I started using this matchEntities() instruction recently when it was made available, and I see you have been making recent adjustments. Wouldn't this situation of continuing to evaluate be related?
I will turn the rule off, so as not to generate this situation that surely damages the functioning of the MSR, and I look forward to your comments please.
Thanks

If you # don't care about the 15-second load average, then the default 60 seconds is fine. # This value is expressed in milliseconds. update_interval: 60000 locale: sv-SE #
I would like to try out the swedish translation (thanks @Crille ). I have tried to edit my reactor.yaml file in many ways, but the translation don't show up. I have done a browser hard refresh every time. Where do I go wrong? Here's my latest try:What's the correct syntax, placement and intendention?
Thanks!

Got a warning that "Rule is being throttled because its update rate exceeds 60 updates per minute. Check for logic errors that may be causing an evaluation loop, or devices that are "flapping".
Device in question here is Aeotec Smart Switch 6 connected to Vera Plus, and its configuration is below:
Screenshot 2021-08-31 at 13.13.22.png
Shouldn't be an evaluation loop as the rule is very simple (two AND'ed conditions where the first checks whether alarm state is "disarmed" and the second if smart switch power switch state is false).
Noticed though at the time of warning that wattage measured/reported was changing quite rapidly, so even though wattage was not used in the rule, could that be the reason for throttling? If so, is there anything else that could be done other than raising minimum change values in device configuration? Would like to retain sensitivity for other purposes.

Hey crew, I followed the tutorial to get MSR installed on Rasbperry Pi (bare metal). Just having a little trouble getting Vera to connect to it.
I'm getting error messages-- I searched in the forum and didn't see other people running into these messages. Here are the two main errors I've been getting...
2021-09-21T01:30:36.477Z <VeraController:ERR> VeraController#vera update request failed: FetchError: request to http://10.0.0.141:3480/data_request?id=user_data&ns=1&Timeout=15&output_format=json&_r=1632187836460 failed, reason: socket hang upand

Thank you!

@toggledbits I've done a (test) Swedish translation for MSR, I don't want/need a translated version, but I had the time and perhaps some future users would find it useful 🙂
I noticed it's a bit early in the process to go live with systemwide localizations so no github in place yet, do you want input on this now or should we wait a few releases? considering it may be low priority issues.
If so, do you want feedback here or in mantis? -
Let's say I have an array like the one below:
["vera>device_216","vera>device_235","vera>device_241"]How do I remove "vera>device_235" out of it?
Alternatively, when filtering entities:
each id in dynamic_array: getEntity( id ).attributes.x_vera_svc_micasaverde_com_HaDevice1?.CommFailure == 1 ? id : nullHow could I exclude certain id from the array that is produced?

I have some battery powered sensors that doesn't report battery level and thought it would be nice if can make MSR to send me a notification if a sensor value doesn't change for 24h.
I tried to make a rule that monitored if a temperature value NOT changes, but in this setup I couldn't choose Sustained For as I expected.
Any way around this?
Any reason that Sustained For can't be used when monitoring a value Change?
Almost there!

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.

@rafale77 said in Almost there!:
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!
-
Dusting of my RPi 4 to test it out
-
Cool! I'm currently on the Docker path, so i'll be setting up one for this. Ubuntu or debian? mabye Alipne, as VWout used for Openluup?
-
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.

Hi @toggledbits - QQ: where do I register to use MantisBT, the link you shared just takes me to a page with a logo and a username box, there are no other menu options on the page I can see? (FYI - I’m accessing it from an iPad)
-
When I have an abundance of extra time, and when the MSR Dashboard feature is fully fledged, I plan to make a "Lights Out game" using NxN virtual switches, that operates just like this online version: http://bz.var.ru/comp/web/js/floor.html
