I've managed to use MSR UI on iOS devices to some degree*, so that although UI elements (e.g. rule sets) are not visible in portrait mode, you've seen them in landscape. Now with recents builds (24302) this does not work anymore, elements (rule sets, entities) are not anymore visible in landscape mode.
Does anyone have similar experiences? Using iOS 18 and Safari/Chrome browser.
( *Drag & drop of rule conditions have never worked on a mobile)
Hi @toggledbits,
I have lots of logs with this:
<Engine:ERR> Assignment to alarm ignored -- expression-driven global cannot be set by assignmentAny hints to where look at to avoid this? Thanks.
Hi @toggledbits
I'd like to update my controllers with these new features, but I'm struggling to find any guidance in the docs - and in general to understand the context.
Could you please elaborate more? Thanks.
I have the following ACL defined:
groups: admin: users: - admin applications: true api_acls: # This ACL allows users in the "admin" group to access the API - url: "/api" group: admin allow: true log: true # This ACL allows anyone/thing to access the /api/v1/alive API endpoint - url: "/api/v1/alive" allow: trueAnd I have authenticated to MSR as "admin" user. However, I'm getting "access denied" when trying to access http://*******:8111/api/v1/log
So what I'm missing, is my ACL incorrectly defined?
Using build 24302 on Docker.
Thanks to @toggledbits for adding a custom CSS. I've started doing a darker Reactor style.
Here's the file: https://gist.github.com/dbochicchio/825098ac13b7f8cac22012eae37ff7ce
A couple of things are still too bright and I'll eventually catch-up. Just place it under your /config directory, naming the file as customstyles.css. Hard refresh your browser.
Hi!
In Home Assistant I sometimes uses the TTS, either to my Sonos or Google speakers. With reactor in Vera I also use TTS.
But in MSR I can't select the TTS-service. It's simply not there. Am I missing something, or is this the case, so far?
Thanks!

Hi
I have just connected a bunch of EzloPi controllers to MSR to import some ESP based devices etc.
They all seemed to have worked and imported in to MSR apart from I have one missing device. It is a Digital Gas Sensor device.
This is how that device looks in the Ezlo API.

They have an EzloPi website here you can create your own sensor projects using ESP boards, which is very interesting stuff!
And I just wrote on the Ezlo forum here, how to connect an EzloPi controller to MSR.
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 couple of things for you @toggledbits, since you mentioned that this release has new features and some tweaks are expected.
Local expressions cannot be deleted. Pushing the X button has no effect for me.
When cloning an entity action, the result is strange (first is cloned one, second is the original action):
a92ea094-9e2c-4aaa-bf47-2d07a6ffdbd0-image.png
When changing the action on the cloned element, the params are added to the original one. See screenshot:
92ac3011-83c8-466b-bd23-47d483ad7a52-image.png
Dark theme has a couple of strange contrasts. One is visible in the previous screenshots (white text on yellow background). Another one is in groups (blue text on blue background):
9b3c4988-53ef-44e6-9672-30e744cacb75-image.png
Overall, I found blue, yellow, red and green (in buttons and forms) to be too bright.
On the bright side:
I love the new script action: thank you! The dark theme is a great start to avoid getting blinded at night I promise I'll try very soon the new features around actions. Thanks!@toggledbits
I just upgraded to version MSR 24293, bare metal running on Fedora. Upon restart, I am getting a error banner:
I followed the new directions about npm
npm i --no-save --no-package-lock --omit dev
Any idea what the issue is?
Seems like switching the UI to the newly added dark mode (thank you for this) does nothing. The UI stays in light mode and only a few buttons turn into dark mode (see screenshot)
Things I have tried:
Hard refresh

Good morning,
I have a service MQTT service that needs a restart occasionally. The add-on (Smartbed MQTT) is for the smart bed base for my bed. It has a "safety light" that I can control from HAAS & MSR as a light entity, and also moves the head of the bed to a preset at bedtime, and then lies it back flat in the morning The problem is, from time to time, the light becomes "unavailable" Restarting from the Add-ons tab in HAAS always fixes it, but I should be able to detect when it happens when "light.tempur_pedic_safety_lights" is not true or false, i.e., unavailable.
What I don't know how to do is how to restart that service. Does anybody have experience in restarting add-ons from MSR?

Hi!
Is it possible to generate two additional log files, the first being the replica of what is displayed on screen by the Rule History widgets and the other with Recently Changed Entities?
And could I configure the generation of one file per day, and delete the older ones? For example, store the last 5 days?
And being more ambitious, does Windget have an icon to open these TXT files in the navigated?
Well, we're approaching Christmas, so here's my request to Santa Claus @toggledbits 🙂
Hi @toggledbits
I'm working on a controller to generate llm response from a prompt in reactor. I have http response coming thru an http request action at the moment, capturing the response inside a local variable. So, it's practically sync.
I want to create a controller, so I don't have to rely on a proxy (and have a simpler architecture), and duplicate absurd http actions, but AFAIK in the current implementation, actions are async only. But if I have multiple requests going on, I cannot be sure what it's really inside an attribute. I also thought that something like a correlation id when sending the request could be used to identity multiple responses, but I wanted to double check with you before starting with something too complicated. I also noticed that some actions in home assistant (ie forecast) are sync and I'm wondering if you have any plan or hint to address this situation. Thanks.
Thanks.
@togglebits I am curious as to why the tilt_sensor.state (primary) = NULL. I believe it should show true or false. I have to use binary_sensor.state instead in my rules.
Again, not sure if this is related to Reactor/ZwaveJSController implementation or the actual Z-Wave JS UI docker version. I have copied, below, the attributes of the tilt sensor in hopes it can help.
Thanks in advance.

@toggledbits I have noticed after upgrading both Reactor and ZWaveJSController to version 24257 that two of my devices/entities, TILT-ZWAVE2.5-ECO and Zooz ZSE18, had their entity re-named in an unusual way and also appears to be duplicated.

Anyway, here's my reactor-mqtt-contrib package:

GitHub - dbochicchio/reactor-mqtt-contrib: Contrib MQTT templates for Reactor
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 🙂
Multi-System Reactor Developer Preview AVAILABLE
-
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.
-
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
in the UK: https://www.ebay.com/itm/HP-Flexible-T520-Thin-Client/265062105722?
in the US: https://www.ebay.com/itm/HP-T520-Flexible-Thin-Client-4GB-DDR3-V2V45UA-ABA-No-Stand-SSD/313404749197?You just need to find an old HP laptop power supply for it. That won't break your scotch budget... and amazingly they come with a windows10 pro license in the BIOS.
-
-
If you are on a budget the T520 will run about as fast as a rPi4B for single core applications but slower for multi core. For home automation you probably won't see any difference. But it is definitely much faster than the rPi2 in every aspects. It is a perfect little machine to play around without having to worry about ever bricking it and you can repurpose it for other things later.
Edit:
This might be an even better choice:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/HP-T620-Dual-Core-AMD-Gx217Ga-1-65GHz-4GB-RAM-Radeon-HD-16GB-SATA-Flash-Drive/184659317870?A little faster, only with W7ES license but has a 16GB eMMC.

"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."
Today with an upgraded system, since the RPi firmware has native support, it is fairly straight forward. There are tons of guides and videos online to help.

IN reading the MSR docs, I see we'll soon have the capability to import backup files saved from a Vera hub's master Reactor device, thereby auto-creating Rulesets on the receiving MSR.
I presume the necessary conversion applet (in the form of a .JS script) will be forthcoming as part of the /tools folder under MSR?
Has anyone tested this feature out yet? I wouldn't mind being a guinea pig, if more data points are required to iron out kinks.

Indeed that feature is already available. I imported close to 400 rules and it has been pretty smooth. We have ironed out a couple bugs already. But as pointed out in the guides, you really got to go through it all and fix some things as you go. My initial plan was to start fresh but I'm glad I didn't as it has saved me a lot of time. If you have a lot to transfer over I would definitely give it a shot.
