In Home Assistant I have an integration that if I add entities to it, I will get the following error in MSR as certain entity values I'm using in expressions are null for a moment. This is more or less cosmetic issue and happens very rarely as I rarely modify that integration on the hass side.

And the expression is

Could I "wrap" hass-entity shown above somewhat differently to prevent this error from happening? Using build 24302.
Hello
I am trying to set up Multi System Reactor to automate routines across multiple smart home devices & platforms (e.g., Home Assistant, SmartThings, and Hubitat). While I have successfully linked the systems; I am facing issues with:
-Delays in triggering actions on secondary devices.
-Inconsistent execution of complex logic conditions.
-Synchronization of states between devices when one system updates.
Is there a recommended way to optimize performance & confirm seamless state sharing across systems?
I have checked https://smarthome.community/category/22/multi-system-reactor-msbi guide for reference but still need advice.
Any tips on debugging or log analysis to pinpoint where the issue arises would also be appreciated.
Thank you !
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)
@toggledbits Since I have upgraded ZWaveJSController to 24293 from 24257 I am seeing entries related to registering action set_volume, but action is not defined by the capability 143 every time I restart Reactor.
The Siren seems to be doing what it is supposed to do. The volume levels are fine. Should I worry about it?
Reactor version 24302
ZWaveJSController version 24293
Z-Wave JS UI version 9.27.4
zwave-js version 14.3.4
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
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)

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?

RPi5-64 (8GB) Core 2024.7.3 Supervisor 2024.08.0 Operating System 13.0 Frontend 20240710.0Hi!
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.

If this is in
config
and notdist-config
then you are off to a good start. A couple of notes:- Remove the
#
from beforeprovince
, and place a#
beforestate
-- you modified the data, but didn't comment/uncomment the fields. - The way you posted it lost the indenting, which is critical for YAML. It needs to be indented using spaces only (no tabs) exactly as the original version was. If you are not sure, the original distribution versions of the config files are in
dist-config
and you can use them as a reference, or copy them toconfig
and start over.
Like the Vera Community, if you want to post a code block, put three back-ticks ``` on a line by itself, then your code, and then a line with three back-ticks again, and it will format it properly and not wreck the quotation marks and indenting.
Also, please start new threads for new topics. If every discussion happens in this one thread, we're going to have a bad time.

@toggledbits Ok Thanx a lot. Got it working with Vera but got stuck with Hubitat for a couple of hours trying everything until I read that Hubitat has limitations when you have more Maker API connections.
I have an RPI connected with Homebridge running against Maker API so I guess its the problem so if you can boost a solution was you mentioned it wood be greeeeat...So no I will start playing with the Vera until a solution is ready..:)
/Mattias
-
Do you know, does HomeBridge set the POST URL automatically, or did you have to set it (e.g. copy-paste from somewhere)?
-
@toggledbits I can't remember doing it... Here is a link for the Maker API homebridge instruction...
-
Guess we'll just have to try it and see what happens. I think there's a high probability it sets it itself, which will be a problem. I was so gung-ho on Hubitat until I started really getting into it and finding things like this. Bummer.
-
@toggledbits I have deleted the homebridge Maker API app and installed homebridge v2 that does not use Maker API but the reactor still doesn't want to connect to Hubitat. you have got it to work with Hubitat?
I read on a Hubitat thread that the Post has to be sent to the Maker API as you mentioned ...
I have played a bit with my vera and MSR and it works good so far. So nice to be back to Reactor, have missed it a lot . It still sits in thespinal cord! :). -
@matteburk said in Can't see VeraPlus and Hubitat (config question):
you have got it to work with Hubitat?
Yes. There are two parts to the connection, so even if the POST URL is a problem, you should be able to see your devices. Make sure you are following the installation instructions correctly, and have the correct IP address in the configuration. You might also look at 'logs/reactor.log' after startup and see if there are any helpful messages there.
-
Been trying around and did new installation of MSR but still not work with Hubitat. I cant se any devices.
The MSR logs says:
2021-02-23T05:47:10.927Z Controller:ERR HubitatController#hubitat failed to connect/query http://192.168.68.145: Error: Request failed: 404 Not Found

Ive done the installation as in the instructions.... Can the old Maker API still keep the 1 and only connection even if I have deleted it?..
-
If I had to guess, you have the access token wrong. Please PM me your the Hubitat controller configuration from your reactor.yaml file, and make a screen shot of your Maker API app where it shows the local URLs with the access token on them (scroll down).
-
-
OK. I see the issue. I assumed something about the structure of their URLs that apparently I can not, so I'll need to fix that. Today's daily build will have a fix.
-
OK, so when you upgrade to 21054 later today or tomorrow (should be published tonight my time Eastern US), you will just copy-paste the "Get Device Info" URL given there, or you can right-click the "Get All Devices" link above it and then paste that into your configuration. The updated HubitatController will just take that URL apart to get the information it needs. You should not even need to specify
access_token
any more (if it's on the URL, it will grab it). Coming soon... -
Yeah, what I got wrong was that number in the middle. I assumed, very incorrectly apparently, that is was a universal application ID or an API version number, something relatively static. Well, it's an application ID, but not universal, or static--it's apparently going to be different on every Hubitat. Teething pains. And cheesus ghost, their documentation is horrible.
Speaking of documentation, and forums, on their forums is much discussion about the Post URL magically vanishing, or not working. So that's the next thing to watch out for.
-
Easiest way? I think... read the documentation! Look at the "Installation" page. You can use the "Manual" link in the left navigation of MSR, or click the link below:
MSR docs: Installation
