I need a handful of victims volunteers to help test previews of the next build of Reactor. A long-standing request was for "a simple login mechanism," but in practice, adding user authentication and competent access control turned out to be a pretty big project with a lot of big changes on both server and client sides. It's a bit more than I'm comfortable testing myself and springing out to everyone at once, so I'd like to work with a small group to put it through "sea trials."
Major changes/features include:
User authentication with hashed password storage; User group configuration with application restriction (admin, dashboard, API); Detailed control over API access, with user- and token-based authentication/authorization; Improvements to the HTTPS service; Improvements to UI coordination with the core for Rules and Reactions.If this sounds like something you'd like to help with, drop me a reply here in this thread or privately.
I have a case where I'm trying to send a MQTT message similar to the example below:
Topic: pool/set { "command": 4, "value": 1, "time": 0, "interval": 0 }But I need to set "value" so that it is an integer between 20-30. I thought I could use "dimming" capability here, but there's probably a better way. @therealdb ?
(Using userauth-24120-7745fb8d build in Docker)
There's a filtering capability for entities in reactor.yaml, but I have a case where I don't want to filter an entity altogether, but would like to "throttle" it, as this sensor updates every 1-2 seconds (and therefore unnecessarily takes database space).
Sensor data comes through home assistant, and seems that there's no way to control update interval at that end.
So I'm asking if plugin configuration could support limiting/throttling updates for certain entities?
Good morning,
Hopefully this is a simple request. I believe the title should be self explanatory, but just in case, I'll elaborate.
On the status tab, we all get alerts if a device state has changed (i.e., been removed). This is great, but when I go into the entities tab, I have to either type the name (or a portion thereof) of the device that has been removed, or I need to scroll all the way through my list of devices. This is infrequent, however, yesterday I replaced a failed device in my HAAS environment. It was a Z-Wave switch that is added using the Smart Scan QR code, which normally makes it pretty easy. However, some devices don't get fully added the first time around, so it'll add multiple entries into HAAS until it get's the S2 authentication correct and the device fully included. It did this to me yesterday, and I had to delete the incomplete device from my installation. MSR still saw the entities of that failed/incomplete switch entity, and I was left with 8 alerts and entities that I needed to removed.
It's not a huge problem, but this example was just one switch. If I were to add replace multiple devices at once, this could be a bit more annoying to remove. It would be helpful to be able to filter by removed entities, so I can find them all quickly and delete them. Continuing that train of thought, it would also be useful to have check boxes next to those lines, and perhaps do a select all type of thing so they could be deleted in one mouse click.
@toggledbits I have finally finished up the SSL using Let's Encrypt and am getting this from my local browser:

I know you said in the docs that using a self-signed could lead to this but this is LE.
Hi @toggledbits,
I don't know if I'm the only one, so I'm reporting here first instead of opening a bug.
Basically, with the latest 2-3 updates of Reactor and MQTTController, after a restart previous statuses are lost (for both Virtual and MQTT entities), until they're restored.
It's particularly annoying for Virtual Entities, because I have to set them all over again (I've coded some defaults at startup if the values are empty, but sometimes these are not the correct values before the update).
Not easy to reproduce, and logs are gone, but the first time I tought it was me hallucinating, the second one didn't bother too much, after the third I realized it's something not coming from me.
the behavior could be seen in this screenshot:
1c007fc2-4dbc-4476-8dca-e5aa111e4642-image.png
Any hint is appreciated.
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.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:
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 🙂
Good morning,
So Home Assistant decided to change the default weather home format that I've been using for the past year and a half. I had two Global Expressions set up to pull the high and low temp forecast for the day. Now it's pulling null values.
094c9205-cc9e-4fcc-ac4f-1bf54acea299-image.png
In the dev tools, it now uses a new service (Weather. get forecasts), plural, where the old Weather.get forecast is depreciated and now longer functions.
8c7a1fcc-dd3f-4268-a0b7-29d542f86adc-image.png
It shows a templow field, and a temperature field, which I presume is the forecast high.
When I head back over to MSR, I'm having a hard time finding those values in the Entities tab.

MSR: latest-24057-e9add9f5
Hey Patrick, I recently have been noticing that MSR has been acting up ie. it's been needing restarts and has been slow. I began trouble shooting by looking at the logs and have noticed the following errors for a lot of entities. I thought maybe a simple reboot of RPi was needed and I kept seeing the same errors in the system logs. I am oddly enough not seeing these same errors in the MSR logs. Where things started getting weird is whenever I rebooted MSR it wouldn't come back online .I would have to restart the RPi then it would come back online. I just restarted MSR again to capture logs and it restarted fine, so I guess its good for now? I think this is more or so a corrupted SD card issue rather a MSR issue but well being troubleshooting from here. The SD card is about 1-2 years old.
Apologies if this post is everywhere, I cannot consistently recreate any oddities that are happening, that's what is leading me to believe my SD is going bad.
PS: If anyone knows how to diagnose a corrupt SD card please chime in.

This system has been running flawlessly year after year for the time changes twice a year literally since MSR came out so I was caught off-guard when this happened this morning.
Time in MSR browser is EST, time on RPi is local time (DST).

What am I missing here @toggledbits ?
Hi,
For the standard capabilities MSR sends both a value record and a units record to InfluxDB. The latter I would like not to send as they are not really any use for me and it will reduce the number of records send to my InfluxDB.
Is there a quick way to do this with a filter_entities line like: *>units?
Or do I have to update all capabilities to read like this:
power_sensor:
attributes:
value: true
Cheers Rene
I'm trying to replicate this
wallbox_set_number.PNG
into a MQTT entity where I could set a number with a min and max value.
I can't find a standard capability that fits or any documentation on local MQTT capabilities and the only post on the forum mentioning local MQTT capabilities is this post, is it even possible in current release?
My trial and error work in local_mqtt_capabilities.yaml isn't much to show as it's just a copy of mqtt_capabilities.yaml with changed names and then I got stuck.
Any guidance, examples, documentation, future feature request or denial would be much appreciated, thanks!

Hi guys,
I've recently bought a new Govee outdoor permanent lights set, and I love it. WAF is pretty high, and the product is good quality. I hope to never run lights in the front of the house.
This new addition has found me searching for something to control these lights, locally. Govee has officials remote and LAN APIs and Home Assistant has it supported, but some undocumented stuff that's integrated into an Homebridge plugin that seems very promising. Without this plugin, my playlist is orchestrated via the cloud and that makes zero sense.
In the past I got some inspiration from plugins running on other platforms and Homebridge seems one of the most active. I could map its devices via HomeKit-local on HA, but I've decommissioned Homebridge years ago when we settled to Alexa (and I want to stay simple), so I had an idea: why get inspiration and rewrite things, when you could write an Homebridge adapter that could load any Homebridge plugin and run them natively under Reactor (MSR)?
I'm not sure if that's viable or made any sense, so I'm posting here to get feedback, encouragement and your thoughts. Anyone could be potentially interested in such a thing?
Hi- looking for a hint in where to start. My goal is to set a PIN code in a zwave kwikset lock triggered in a rule.
The device isn’t exposing methods to help. The x-hass.call-service looks promising, but what would the service name be?
Plan b would be send the zwave controller a config command- I don’t see any way to explicitly send a command through JS Zwave in my environment.
Running reactor bare metal. JS Zwave is running as an add on inside HASS OS.
Any tips are appreciated.
Hey crew, I'm trying to use MSR to control the RGB values of a Z-Wave bulb in Home Assistant.
Problem I'm running into - I would like to use 'rgb_color.set' to control this, but it doesn't work, instead it always passes the values '255,255,255' to HA no matter what values I enter within MSR.
More notes and examples below - I'm wondering if this is a formatting issue that I'm missing? Thanks for any help!
NOTES FROM TROUBLESHOOTING:
'rgb_color.set_rgb' works successfully, which seems strange. You'd think they would both be affected I've tried a couple different formats, like adding quotes, adding/removing spaces between the RGB values, nothing has fixed it.EXAMPLES:
When I use 'rgb_color.set_rgb', the values successfully carry over to Home Assistant:

I’m running MSR in a docker container on my Synology Nas. The container is automatically updated using watchtower weekly.
It was working. Now, after the update, Reactor webpage is able to load, and all indications on the webpage suggests that it is working fine. However, the updated statuses from Home Assistant and Vera are not being detected.
The container logs show the following error

Noticed right away last night at closing time that the open/close had become inverted with the update to v23326.
It wasn't an awful bit of lift to change all Reactions to reflect the change but it was jarring initially when everything flipped.
Are there release notes on that version, @toggledbits ?
Multi-System Reactor Developer Preview AVAILABLE
-
Build 21105:
- 0000174 Reaction that contains only comment should stop counter-reaction

PLEASE RUN
npm update --nosave
AFTER UPDATING. -
Build 21117
This build represents a significant update from previous builds. Principally, this build provides action groups in reactions, and action groups support constraints. So it now possible for the SET or RESET reactions in your rules to have conditionally-executed actions. This feature applies to rule-based reactions only; it is not a feature of global reactions (and for the removal of doubt, will not be in future). In addition, the following PRs are addressed:
- 0000186 Add quick-selects for weekends and weekdays to Week Day condition type.
- 0000184 Pushover now supports "device" parameter correctly.
- 0000180 Using left nav when active editor has no changes pending is now allowed.
- 0000179 Catch-all for a number of lexpjs (expression) fixes and enhancements.
This version also incorporates a lot of UI enhancements and cleanups; still much to do, though.
Also new, there are now three "official" Docker image builds available on DockerHub:
toggledbits/reactor:latest-generic-amd64
-- Generic Intel/AMD Linuxtoggledbits/reactor:latest-synology-amd64
-- Synology-specific (see more below)toggledbuts/reactor:latest-raspbian-armv7l
-- Raspian Buster (Raspberry Pi)
These Docker images can be downloaded using the usual
docker pull <imagename>
syntax.For all images, when creating the container you must map
/var/reactor
to a local directory in which your Reactor configuration and storage files are located. You should also bind/etc/localtime
to the same-path file on your local system to get the correct timezone in the container. If this is not possible or does not correctly set the timezone for your container, the TZ environment variable should be set.Typical to run:
# For generic: docker run -d -p 8111:8111 -v /my/reactor/data:/var/reactor --mount type=bind,src=/etc/localtime,target=/etc/localtime toggledbits/reactor:latest-generic-amd64 # For Raspian: docker run -d -p 8111:8111 -v /my/reactor/data:/var/reactor -e TZ=America/New_York toggledbits/reactor:latest-raspbian-armv7l
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR SYNOLOGY DOCKER IMAGE UPGRADE (ONLY):
I will no longer be making the manual-download image available for Synology. Upgrading from the previous manual-download image is not a straight line, but can be done pretty quickly and without losing your configuration and other data. It's basically a redo of the original install. The steps are as follows:
- Stop the existing container (under Containers in the Synology Docker app).
- Make a note of where your current config/storage data is stored on the NAS. You can find this by clicking on the container row, then clicking the "Details" button. Click the "Volume" tab on the details dialog, and note the path associated with
/var/reactor
. Copy-paste this to a safe location or write it down. Close the dialog. - Click on the container row and choose "Delete" from the Actions dropdown menu.
- Go to the Image tab and delete the
toggledbits/reactor:latest
image. - Go to the Repository tab and search for "toggledbits". The
toggledbits/reactor
entry should be listed in the results. - Click the entry row and then click "Download".
- Once the image has downloaded, select the image in the Image tab and click "Launch".
- Leave the defaults on the "General Settings" dialog, and click the "Advanced Settings" button.
- On the Advanced Settings dialog, click "Enable auto-restart".
- Click the "Volume" tab, and then "Add Folder". Select the directory you saved in step 2 above (where your data and config files are stored); for the mount path, enter exactly
/var/reactor
. - Click the "Port Settings" tab, and change the "Auto" to 8111 under "Local Port".
- Click the "Environment" tab, and then "+" to add an environment variable. Name it "TZ" (caps), and then set the value to the name of your local time zone. Typically these are "Area/Locale", like "America/New_York". A full list is here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_database_time_zones
- Hit the Apply button and it will put you back on the General Settings dialog. Hit "Next" and then "Apply" (the checkbox to start the container should be checked already), and the container should start.
- Access the container via your NAS' IP address on port 8111.
USING DOCKER-COMPOSE TO RUN CONTAINERS
Here's a sample docker-compose file. You'll need to modify it to have the correct image tag and directory where your data are stored.
# Multi-System Reactor template docker-compose.yml version: '3' services: web: container_name: reactor environment: REACTOR_DATA_PREFIX: /var/reactor # Change the image below to the one you are using, if necessary. image: toggledbits/reactor:latest-generic-amd64 restart: always network_mode: "bridge" expose: - 8111 ports: - 8111:8111 # Modify the first entry below (only before the colon; do not modify the rest) # to the path where you want config/data stored. Make sure the directory # exists before starting the container. volumes: - /my/reactor/data:/var/reactor - type: bind source: /etc/localtime target: /etc/localtime read_only: true tmpfs: /tmp logging: driver: "json-file" options: max-file: 5 max-size: 2m

Docker users can pull the updated images from DockerHub.
Synology Docker users, you can either upgrade using the Docker app, which I find a bit cumbersome (there's no "Update/Download Again" for existing images in the app), or do the following:
- Stop the container in the Docker app.
- Log in to your NAS via SSH.
- Pull the new image by running
sudo docker pull toggledbits/reaction:latest-synology-amd64
- Clear the container (in the Docker app, select the container, then "Clear" from "Actions").
- Start the container.

IN YOUR REACTOR DIRECTORY AFTER UPDATING/BEFORE RESTARTING.SYNOLOGY DOCKER USERS: Build 21160 (next week) will be the last build of the Synology-specific image (latest-synology-amd64). After that, Synology will be supported exclusively via the generic-amd64 image. If you are currently using the latest-synology-amd64 image, you will need to rebuild your container using the latest-generic-amd64 image (soon).
-
Build 21158
- 0000217 Fix path handling for Windows causing error loading Notifiers. This only applies to Windows
Documentation tweaks; header now shows both host (MSR server) and browser time.
-
Build 21163
- Fix 0000219 On Weekday conditions, the quick-set links for Weekday and Weekend don't stick unless you do other edits.
- (No PR fix) The UI's host time display now shows the "engine" time, which is the host time unless
test_time
is in effect, in which case the current test time is shown.
Debug log level 5 messages for Engine have been enhanced to more clearly show actions in reactions as they execute, and in particular, can now be more easily used to tell what rule or reaction is causing another reaction to run (i.e. if a global reaction can be run by several different rules, you'll be able to tell which started it). Support for Telegram notification is now native and this no longer requires the Vera plugin (or a Vera, for that matter); please see the
dist-config/notification.yaml
for configuration information. There is also a new Shell Command action in reactions, but since it carries with it some potential security risks (e.g. arbitrary code execution), its use requires that you addallow_shell_action: true
to theengine
section of yourreactor.yaml
configuration file. By default, shell actions will not be run (although you can still put them in your reactions; they just won't run).Other things to note:
- As previously advertised, the Synology-specific docker container latest-synology-amd64 is no longer being updated. Please switch to latest-generic-amd64.
- All docker images have grown a bit in size as a result of best-practice recommendations for stable builds of docker images. As part of these changes, all containers now run nodejs version 14.17 (current LTS) on Alpine 3.13 (except the RPI image, where 3.12 is used due to certificate issues). Additional changes are coming! Currently, the service runs as root within the docker container, and while running in a container has to-date constrained the risk normally associated with privileged services, the addition of the Shell Command action changes the risk potential dramatically. As a result, likely starting with the first build in July, all containers will run the service as a non-privileged user. I'm still pondering all of this, and there are several potential paths to consider.
-
Build 21168
- 0000220 Using default values on Telegram notification action causes UI to (incorrectly) flag error in field.
- 0000222 A broken reference in the "Run" action may cause an exception.
An experimental (still) exporter/feeder for InfluxDB is also available for testing.
POTENTIAL BREAKING CHANGE FOR HOMEASSISTANT
Because "state" values on HomeAssistant can be any data type, the data type for the
value_sensor
capability attributevalue
was destabilized; it's supposed to be numeric. But some Hass entities were assigning string values, because they were generally being identified as a sensor class device, but had non-numeric state values. The float-iness ofvalue_sensor.value
is now enforced (and once again consistent across all controllers). But this enforcement means any non-convertible string (string that doesn't contain a number) will result in null invalue_sensor.value
. To make sure that the original string is still available, a newstring_sensor
capability has been added, and Hass sensor class devices where the type cannot be explicitly determined from the device class will have both thevalue_sensor
(with a float, if possible) andstring_sensor
(with the string) capabilities/values. What this change may break is any condition in triggers or constraints that use string tests against thevalue_sensor.value
attribute (e.g. testing ifvalue_sensor.value
is equal to the word "idle"). You will need to switch those conditions to usestring_sensor.value
. Numeric tests are not affected by this change and so do not need to be modified. You will only run into trouble if you have been testing avalue_sensor
against a string. A check has been added with a warning notification to simplify finding these cases in your rules if you have any. -
Build 21189
- 0000224: Unable to save rule set or reaction is only change is to switch a notification profile (doesn't enable save button)
- 0000223: Support for newer-style Hass color mode attributes (RGB[W] devices)
Fix an issue with the /variable/set HTTP API throwing an error (not new, but newly discovered and no PR open; attn @cw-kid ). Support for Hass up to 2021.7.1. Updated to new lexpjs with numeric coalesce operator. Internal improvements in the loading of extensions (notifiers, controllers, etc.). Update icon library to latest version. Now supports InfluxDB natively.
-
Build 21196
This build contains the eZLO interface (development level). There are no other significant user-facing changes, although many changes have been made in preparation for the upcoming 1.0 release (this is release candidate 2).
Users of the archive package (i.e. not docker) please
npm update --no-save
in yourreactor
directory after unpacking the archive.Please refer to the documentation for configuration instructions.
I expect lots of issues in every range of possibility. I don't have many devices on my eZLO Plus to test with, so we're going to cover a lot of new ground, mostly by long distance, as I mentioned before. Please open PRs in Mantis for everything you find. Please post/upload all of the files prefixed
ezlo_
from thelogs
directory with every report. If you are reporting an issue with a specific device, please be as specific as possible about which device it is and how it's not working. If you are including a log snip, please remember to include plenty of context (extra lines) both before and after the part you think is relevant (more is better than less).In addition to the required configuration above, please add the following to the end of your
logging.yaml
file:EzloController: # this line indent TWO spaces level: 7 # this line indent FOUR spaces
-
Build 21197 (1.0 release candidate 3)
- Additional capabilties for eZLO devices
- PR 0000229: Fixed an issue with attempt NaN write when certain sun conditions cannot be calculated in some "extreme" latitudes (e.g. sunset in Tromso NO in mid-summer: sun doesn't set; no astro dusk/dawn in mid-summer northern UK, etc.).
- PR 0000228: Fixed an issue with sequence (..after..) condition option not reselecting predecessor condition on subsequent rule edit.
I don't regard this as a vital update; this is mostly just informational. But if you're affected by either of the above PRs, you may want to make the upgrade.
On track for 1.0 release in 7/19. I've already changed the structure of the download directory.
