I decided to move my MSR pi to a permanent place and after that i cant connect to it. I can se in the logs that it has connection with hubitat ..
I says

I have created a Global Reaction with this LUA code for my Vera to run.
However when I run the Reaction nothing happens. I can't see anything in the log file either about this rules ID number.
If I run the same LUA code on Vera in the test window it works OK.
OR any other suggestions how I can set this up in a global Reaction (Scene) in MSR ?
Instead I could use the VeraScenes.lua file in the Vera startup library, but I am wondering why I can't just paste the LUA code directly in to the MSR rule.
Thanks

Hi,
I've been using Pushover in VeraAlerts, but now want to send my notifications from MSR.
I see in the reactor config directory that the notification. yaml file includes Pushover, but is showing #TBD. Is this where I need to set up my Pushover user key etc. and if so what and how should the information be entered?Any help would be appreciated.

For years of participating in the other community, I've watched people post a single error message from a log file when asking for help. I'm now seeing the same behavior (I guess not surprisingly, given the genesis of this community) here. But it's got to stop.
When you post just the error message, you leave out vital context that may give clues to more quickly troubleshoot whatever problem you are having. Very often, by the time someone responds to ask for more, the message is gone (e.g. rotating logs on Vera) or has become too difficult to locate.
Please, when posting anything from a log file, you should be giving context with the message by including, let's say at least 10, messages before, and a few after. Particularly in the case of MSR, almost every exception that is logged is accompanied by a context-defining message immediately before, and in many cases, a follow-on additional data dump related to the error.
Thanks for listening.
P.S. My weekly (it seems) reminder: when things go wrong that obviously aren't just the UI doing something dumb, you must look at the logs.

I have a rule that closes my curtains when I start my Xbox activity on the Harmony hub.
In the Contraints I have that it's day time.
In the Reset Reaction it opens the curtains when I end the Xbox activity etc.
Today it was day time and I started the Xbox activity and the curtains closed.
When I turned off the Xbox it was night time, however my curtains then opened.
I expected the curtains to remain closed as by then it was night time.
Not sure the best way to handle this? But I want a rule that closes the curtains if it's day time and I want to play on the Xbox. If it's still day time when I end that Harmony Activity then open the curtains again. Or if it's night time then keep the curtains closed.
I figure if I start playing the Xbox and it's already night time then the curtains would already be closed anyway via the sunset offset schedule that closes the curtains.

I'm moving the discussion on this out of the Mantis PR #178 for the benefit of all/documentation, and also because it's easier to type and format here.
@LibraSun wrote in that PR:
I'm 99% certain you'll explain this one away as "expected" but I naively believed it would yield different results:
In an expression defined by:
a=[1,2,3],
each i in a:
shift(a)
// result (array) [1,2] (unexpected
// expected [1,2,3]This has me thinking that 'each' is leaving items on the table, as I tried unsuccessfully pointing out above.
The issue here is that your expression shift(a) is modifying the iteration subject array in place. Basically, here are the iteration steps that are run, starting with a=[1,2,3]
First iteration: a=[1,2,3]; the local i is assigned the first array element 1, but it is not used in the expression. The expression shift(a) results in 1 and causes a to be reduced to [2,3] (the first element is shifted off and becomes the result). Since this is the last value in the expression, 1 is added to the each result array. Second iteration: a is now [2,3] because the previous iteration modified it. So i is assigned 3, because the iteration is on the second element/iteration through the array, but i is not used in the expression. The shift(a) causes a to be reduced to [3] and its return value is 2, so the value 2 is added to the iteration result array. Third iteration: a is now [3], and we are on the third iteration, but the iteration index of 3 (third iteration) is now off the end of the array (only 1 element long), so iteration stops.The result of this each is therefore [1,2] because those are two values that were shifted out, and a is left at [3] because there was no third run of shift() to remove it.
As I said in the PR, modifying an array you are iterating through can be dangerous and confusing in many languages, because iterators keep state during iteration, and some operations you can do inside the iteration can and will invalidate that state in some way. In Lua on Vera, this often leads to deadlocks and crashes so bad that the box reboots, not just a Luup reload. It's a Bad Idea, and programmers who know are very wary of doing this type of thing in any language unless they are certain of the side-effects/lack of side-effects.
Your additional example:
a=[1,2,3], // The array 'a' is [1,2,3]
a=unshift(a,0), // The array 'a' is [0,1,2,3]
a=push(a,4), // The array 'a' is [0,1,2,3,4]
each i in a: // Iterating over the 5 elements of 'a'
shift(a) // Take the first element of 'a' and append it to result array [ ]
// result [0,1,2] (unexpected)
// and array 'a' is now [3,4]! (also unexpected)Also correct result. All of the gyrations before the each are not relevant to behavior here. At the start of the each, the array is [0,1,2,3,4] (5 elements). Iterations:
a=[0,1,2,3,4], i=0, shift(a) returns 0 and modifies a to [1,2,3,4]; the each result array is now [0] a=[1,2,3,4], i=2, shift(a) returns 1 and modifies a to [2,3,4]; the each result array is now [0,1] a=[2,3,4], i=4, shift(a) returns 2 and modifies a to [3,4]; the each result array is now [0,1,2] Iteration stops because the iteration index/step is 4, but there remain only two elements in a=[3,4] (we're off the end of the array).So the each result is [0,1,2] and a is left with [3,4] and this is correct operation.
Key points:
each keeps state during the iteration (as most iterators do) about the subject of the iteration; if the subject changes in a way that affects the state, unexpected results may occur; The functions push(), pop(), shift() and unshift() modify the array in place. If you say b=shift(a) you get a value in b and a modified (shorter) a. -
I've imported all reactors from openLuup, and find myself moving a lot of entity-actions from triggers to constraints.. It would help a lot to have "drag & drop", or a move function for this?
-
Just thought i'd mention it, as I've walked into it multiple times when editing rules:
dbc9e2c8-887e-46bd-8e3c-1364eb99bb03-image.pngWhen 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. 🙂

Followers will be aware of the problems I had setting up MSR, so it won;t come as a surprise that now I have problems Upgrading to the latest version. (How much I wish for a "Click to Upgrade" Button.....)
I've been stuck on this for 6 days and am ready to throw in all into the to hard basket, surely HA shouldn't be this problematic?
There, I've said it now I feel better....
So what's the problem, I can upload the file using WINSCP but no matter what I've tried it won't un-tar and over write the existing files in the Reactor Directory.
I receive the following error message which may as well be written in Martian 🙂 in my case.
Command 'tar -xz --directory="reactor" -f "reactor-0.1-21101-0db64f0-generic.tar.gz"'
failed with return code 2 and error message
tar: reactor: Cannot mkdir: Permission denied
tar: reactor: Cannot mkdir: Permission denied
tar: reactor/INSTALL.md: Cannot open: No such file or directory
tar: reactor: Cannot mkdir: Permission denied
tar: reactor/LICENSE.md: Cannot open: No such file or directory
tar: reactor: Cannot mkdir: Permission denied
cut for sanity sake....This goes on for ad infinitum for every file.
I tried with both users, no change, can anyone decipher this and explain why WINSCP won't untar the file?
-
How can I do this?
The topic in the instructions is very limited.Other Controllers
Other controllers that you may find as add-ins will each have their own specific configuration instructions. Please refer to their accompanying documentation.What information should I be looking for?
I've tried port 1880 which is used for node-red, assuming that this is a listening port - no go. Really not sure how to go about this as everything I do is mostly trial & error.
BTW, I added my Vera Lite into the mix successfully, HS4 would make it a trifecta!

Hi Everyone,
In the Vera Reactor logic, I used to use the operator "updates" in a lock condition.
If I entered the door and the code used was "Mike," it would hold the condition true indefinitely because "Mike" was the last stored value. Since it is held indefinitely, setting the condition to pulsed would not allow the condition to fire again because it never went false. If I entered a different code, the condition would go false, then entering "Mike" again would cause the condition to go true.
I did this using the operator "updates" in an AND condition along with the lock code. The code condition would stay true with "Mike," and when "Mike" is entered consecutively, the "updates" condition will go true each time, and then the whole condition would go true, triggering the action.
Since "updates" no longer appears to be an operator, how would I do this in the new logic? I think I remember a discussion about this, but I searched and can't seem to find it.
I'm not a programmer, so I am probably missing the easy way to do this.

For MSR users with SiteSensor still installed back on Vera, you might want to consider letting MSR take over those duties. Here's a quick run-down of how I imported one of my SiteSensor recipes into a Rule on MSR, using OpenWeather API* as an example.
STEP 1: Copy the Basics from Vera
(a) Go to your Vera > Devices, locate SiteSensor (the main instance, not one of its children devices) and click ► for details then click SETTINGS.
(b) Copy and paste (into Notepad or other text editor) the Request URL along with each of the defined expressions.STEP 2: Create a Rule on MSR
(c) Jump into Rule Sets and click "Create Rule". Click its title to rename the rule 'OpenWeather (API)" and click 'Rename'.
(d) Decide on appropriate Triggers (in my case, it's an OR group that includes an [INTERVAL] set to "Every 3 hours" plus a few [ENTITY ATTRIBUTE] entries reacting to things like entering/leaving home, waking up, etc.).
(e) In Set Reacion, create an [HTTP REQUEST] > [GET] action.
(f) Paste your old "Request URL" into the "Request URL" box.FYI GET calls to OpenWeather API* take the form:
http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?zip=<your_ZIP_code>&id=<your_Wx_ID>&appid=<app-id>&units=imperial(g) Create four new blank Expressions (name them openWx, Tx, Hx and Rx).
(h) Click SAVE & EXITSTEP 3: Process the Response
(i) Re-open rule "OpenWeather (API)" by clicking the 'Edit' icon.
(j) Within the [HTTP REQUEST] action, assign "Capture response to:" ► openWx
(k) Down in Expressions, click "[+]Add Expresssion" then enter the following:
Tx := round(openWx.main.temp,1)
// yields current outdoor temperature
Hx := round(openWx.main.humidity)
// yields current humidity conditions
Rx := openWx.rain ? ( openWx.rain['3h'] ? openWx.rain['3h'] : 0) : 0
// yields predicted rainfall, if present; otherwise 0
(l) Click SAVE & EXIT. Enjoy!Naturally, your specific needs and workflow will differ from the one I've outlined here. For instance, you may wish to explore the contents of the JSON object in openWx for additional data of interest to you, and define variables to match.
My goal here has been to illustrate some key concepts needed for moving from SiteSensor over to MSR:
Some syntax is the same, such as dot notation for object.item.access; Other syntax has changed, such as the use of ternary A ? B : C in place of IF (A, B, C); Manually setting an [INTERVAL] in lieu of SiteSensor's timed schedule;Pro tip: If your workflow demands that other Rules react to the output of the "OpenWeather (API)" rule, then be sure to create all of the aforementioned Expressions under "Global Expressions" instead, so they become accessible across all Rule Sets.
Once the transition is complete, you can either DISARM SiteSensor on Vera or remove it entirely with "Remove Device" (which will automatically remove all of its child devices).

In my Vera config I have two SiteSensors (one for Ambient Wx, one for OpenWxMap) that point to two unique Reactor devices for controlling HVAC in my home. This is done for redundancy - if the Ambient API drops it returns zero data which then triggers a standalone Master API Reactor device to flip on the OWM SiteSensor and corresponding HVAC Reactor device to continue controlling the house conditions.
Once the Ambient API returns to available the Master API Reactor device flips back to the Ambient SiteSensor and corresponding HVAC Reactor device, turning OFF the SiteSensor for OWM to save on API calls.
I've been able to duplicate one half of this, including the Master API role, in MSR. But... here's the tricky part... I can't turn "off" the MSR Rule Sets for the OWM version. As such, HVAC is sent conflicting data and doesn't know what to do.
Before I go alls deep into explaining how all of this currently works, am I missing something somewhere that would allow me to trigger the on/off of MSR Rule Sets?

Knowing that MSR Preview may not yet fully implement LuaXP (CORRECTION: MSR uses a different language lexpjs), I could not resist whipping up some text expressions for fun. Whereupon two things popped out at me:
The new scaling (0.00 - 1.00) of Dimming Level will require a rewrite of certain Expressions that I use to balance my light levels. For example, it was my custom to monitor one lamp's brightness (0 - 100) with Reactor Luup, then set another lamp to 93% of that level, using this Expression: floor(getstate( 9, "urn:upnp-org:serviceId:Dimming1", "LoadLevelTarget" ) * 0.93)Now, in MSR, it will become necessary to modify that to read:
floor ((getEntity( "vera>device_9" ).attributes.dimming.level * 0.93)*100)/100which effectively scales the value up x 100 (so that floor() can act upon it correctly), then downscale it / 100. Just an FYI to ponder.
I'm noticing that every edit, however minor, of an Expression in MSR requires an immediate SAVE click before the 'Run' button will become active. That is to say, I cannot repeatedly evaluate the Expression during editing, without clicking SAVE first.Only mentioning this latter behavior since it departs so dramatically from Reactor Luup's paradigm.

Hi
I am assuming in time MSR will have some API documentation.
I am going to ask Bill the developer of the Home Remote dashboard app if he can add support for MSR.
Specifically support for MSR global Reactions (Scenes), where hopefully they can be imported in to the Home Remote Designer application and then we can more easily create dashboard tiles that when pressed would run a particular MSR global Reaction etc.
Currently in Home Remote it's possible but not so easy to create a tile that runs a http request when pressed and I have tested this and it does work and will run an MSR global Reaction.
But I'd much prefer if in the Home Remote Designer application MSR could be added as a device type and then all its global Reactions
imported as it does with Vera and other systems. -
Hi
Will Global Reaction rules have Constraints added at some point?
And maybe the other functions like Reset Reaction and Expressions.
Thanks
-
How are folks handling situations where they want to have Conditional Actions or Branching Logic in their Set Reactions for a rule? Are you creating Duplicating the same trigger and setting different conditions and Actions?
Is there an approach where you combine a main rule with your entity triggers with sub rules that trigger off Expressions? You then could write your conditions as Set Variable actions in the Main Rule for the Expressions that evaluate to true or false. Each sub rule would trigger based on the expression changing to true and then could also change it back to false after.
Not sure if that's worth the complexity for the reusability and control over duplicate triggers.

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 to the degree it's compatible with Vera Luup), 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!
-
I looked through the forum, but could not find it, so my apologies if this has been asked. It would be nice to be able to push a message to MQTT for further upstream integrations.
Multi-System Reactor Developer Preview AVAILABLE

Got my instance going with Home Assistant. I am finding it brilliant as it is connecting to it through websocket. I am seeing the potential now to have reactor act as a bridge, detecting events happening on Home Assistant and forwarding them to openLuup and vice versa, eliminating the need for configuring additional scenes on openLuup and automation on home assistant!

I'm getting ready to assemble today's build (21051). I think I have everything urgent covered, with some PRs left open for confirmation. There's one more I want to try to address before I roll it up and out for the day.
This build also includes:
- Fix for condition trigger repeating when a sustained-for delay applies (#30);
- Fix an error on import (#29);
- Fix an error on Hass caused by an unhandled attribute (#27);
- New units configuration value "uk" (#31), as well as more granular control over units (if imperial, metric, or uk isn't enough, you can now set units by use class; per device/attribute is planned and part of the architecture as well);
- Fix elevation computation problem in sunrise/set data (mangles angles if elev configured <> 0) (#34);
- Now with working SMTP, Prowl, Pushover and Syslog notifications;
- Notification forwarding for Hubitat (see docs for configuration details);
- many documentation fixes and upgrades.
-
And 21051 is now available.
-
Updated and now added openLuup. Doesn't seem to be a problem but why do openLuup scenes and room entities keep flashing green even without seemingly any updates?
-
I will look into that!
Edit: It looks like the
jobsobject is dropped on Vera Luup when it's empty, but is always present on openLuup. Since the comparison to see if a value changes doesn't "go deep" on objects and arrays, it sees two empty objects as different every time they are presented (using JS's comparison operator), and the scene is being presented on each update even though outwardly there don't appear to be any changes. So two small diffs between Vera Luup and openLuup contributing.I'm just going to suppress anything that isn't a primitive and leave it at that. Deep inspection of objects and arrays isn't likely to be valuable or necessary.

Looking good, squashing those bugs. I will keep reporting anything I find. Just set up SMTP. Works great!

For being a "Developer preview" it is quite solid. After some minor issues yesterday and have been solved with 21051, I have re-built most of my Reactor-sensors in Vera in the MSR and it is working fine. They are now disabled in the Vera and let's see how it goes in the coming days
-
Hi! I have really looking forward to this, MSR is the sole reason I have been trying to wrap my head around Home Assistant.
For now I am running Hassio on a VM at my Win10 "home server"
If I read the information right, I can't run MSR on Windows at the moment? -
I'm close. I think by tomorrow or Wednesday I'll have the cross-platform issues nailed down.
-
Version 21054 now available.
- Fix 0000020: Play button doesn't run cover action (Fibaro-specific issue)
- Fix 0000034: Sunrise/sunset conditions over midnight don't trigger in the morning
- Fix 0000041: VeraController has no thermostat mapping (generic done; specific versions will almost surely be needed)
- Fix 0000044: Time conditions spanning midnight don't trigger in the morning
- Fix 0000045: Importer brings root group with options in, but root group options are not editable in MSR
- Fix 0000046: Hubitat configuration for URL needs to go deeper (IP and access token insufficient)
- Fix 0000047: VeraController rgb_color capability has attributes but no actions
- Fix 0000048: VeraController has no mapping for Harmony plugin
A couple of side notes:
- The API functions mentioned here are integrated in this version;
- This version runs on Windows, and there are draft instructions for how to get it installed.
-

Pi4 (2GB RAM) arrived today. can't wait to join in the action.
Some advice please from the knowledgeable ones if I can.
I had intended to use a SATA HD instead of the SD Card, perhaps this isn't necessary and may be an overkill?
What does the collective think? -
No it’s not overkill. If you look at the HA forum, you will see legions of people migrating away from the rPI to intel NUC because of the SD card issue. These are very cheap, controller less (therefore cache less, garbage collection less, wear leveling less) NAND flash which have a relatively short lifetime (similar to what Ezio embedded in their updated/downgraded version of the vera). The rPi4 is a bit tricky to boot from SATA but it can be done and if you want a reliable system, you should definitely go down that route.
A big part of it of course will depend on how much storage writing you will be doing but regardless, mid-long term it’s a bit of a waste. The SSD cards are really designed for digital cameras where pictures are taken until the card is full, transferred and then erased again on a low frequency basis. They are not very good for computing storage use.

In fact its a good idea, those sd cards can fail all to easily, with all the reading and writing.

I'm on my second NUC. The first one was a Celeron, now on an i3 I found getting dust in our offices (it was used as front desk PC before the pandemic). This to say that probably eBay is your friend, and Amazon too. You could find a lot of deals (well under 100 USD/EUR) for used/reconditioned NUCs.
Mine with i3, 16GB ram (I added more) and 256 GB SSD is heavily used (openLuup, my own software, cams processing, mqtt server, a lot of mqtt clients, bluetooth for MiFlora and SwitchBot) and barely consuming more than 5% CPU.
-
They're good little boxes, although I wish they were a bit cheaper. My Hass runs on a NUC, and I also use a NUC as my on-LAN secondary DNS/NTP and a few other things (like Unifi management). I'm a big fan of the Jetson Nano, too. I think this board needs more attention.

Alternative here in the US: I just got an HP T640 for $90. It's a little big physically but all the memory is replaceable: 2 sodimm slots, one 16gb mmc which I replaced with an SSD and boom, that's my MSR box. CPU is a ryzen equivalent of the i3 8145U in the NUC. Runs circles around any rpi for a lot less when you add up all the storage and peripheral cost. Heck it adds up to be even cheaper than my mini pc celeron box I posted in this forum before and is 3x faster. (or 8-10x faster than any rpi)

Edit:
Added for reference comparison to rpi4... pretty hard to justify buying a raspberry honestly when they end up costing the same.or here

In the same tone of what I posted before but with an older slower 6W CPU if you want to dirt cheap, these are very good (as in more reliable, upgradable, cheaper) than rPIs

Wow they are cheap.
So these HP Thin Clients, what Linux OS could you run on it with an 8GB SSD ?
