Access control - allowing anonymous user to dashboard
tunnusT
Using build 25328 and having the following users.yaml configuration: users: # This section defines your valid users. admin: ******* groups: # This section defines your user groups. Optionally, it defines application # and API access restrictions (ACLs) for the group. Users may belong to # more than one group. Again, no required or special groups here. admin_group: users: - admin applications: true # special form allows access to ALL applications guests: users: "*" applications: - dashboard api_acls: # This ACL allows users in the "admin" group to access the API - url: "/api" group: admin_group allow: true log: true # This ACL allows anyone/thing to access the /api/v1/alive API endpoint - url: "/api/v1/alive" allow: true session: timeout: 7200 # (seconds) rolling: true # activity extends timeout when true # If log_acls is true, the selected ACL for every API access is logged. log_acls: true # If debug_acls is true, even more information about ACL selection is logged. debug_acls: true My goal is to allow anonymous user to dashboard, but MSR is still asking for a password when trying to access that. Nothing in the logs related to dashboard access. Probably an error in the configuration, but help needed to find that. Tried to put url: "/dashboard" under api_acls, but that was a long shot and didn't work.

VEC Virtual Switch Auto Off
S
I use Virtual Entity Controller virtual switches which I turn on via webhooks from other applications. Once a switch triggers and turns on, I can then activate associated rules. I would like each virtual switch to automatically turn off after a configurable time (e.g., 5 seconds, 10 seconds). Is there a better way to achieve this auto-off behavior instead of creating a separate rule for each switch that uses the 'Condition must be sustained for' option to turn it off? With a large number of these switches (and the associated turn-off rules), I'm checking to see if there is a simpler approach.If not, could this be a feature request to add an auto-off timer directly to the virtual switches.

Upcoming Storage Change -- Got Back-ups?
toggledbitsT
TL;DR: Format of data in storage directory will soon change. Make sure you are backing up the contents of that directory in its entirety, and you preserve your backups for an extended period, particularly the backup you take right before upgrading to the build containing this change (date of that is still to be determined, but soon). The old data format will remain readable (so you'll be able to read your pre-change backups) for the foreseeable future. In support of a number of other changes in the works, I have found it necessary to change the storage format for Reactor objects in storage at the physical level. Until now, plain, standard JSON has been used to store the data (everything under the storage directory). This has served well, but has a few limitations, including no real support for native JavaScript objects like Date, Map, Set, and others. It also is unable to store data that contains "loops" — objects that reference themselves in some way. I'm not sure exactly when, but in the not-too-distant future I will publish a build using the new data format. It will automatically convert existing JSON data to the new format. For the moment, it will save data in both the new format and the old JSON format, preferring the former when loading data from storage. I have been running my own home with this new format for several months, and have no issues with data loss or corruption. A few other things to know: If you are not already backing up your storage directory, you should be. At a minimum, back this directory up every time you make big changes to your Rules, Reactions, etc. Your existing JSON-format backups will continue to be readable for the long-term (years). The code that loads data from these files looks for the new file format first (which will have a .dval suffix), and if not found, will happily read (and convert) a same-basenamed .json file (i.e. it looks for ruleid.dval first, and if it doesn't find it, it tries to load ruleid.json). I'll publish detailed instructions for restoring from old backups when the build is posted (it's easy). The new .dval files are not directly human-readable or editable as easily as the old .json files. A new utility will be provided in the tools directory to convert .dval data to .json format, which you can then read or edit if you find that necessary. However, that may not work for all future data, as my intent is to make more native JavaScript objects directly storable, and many of those objects cannot be stored in JSON. You may need to modify your backup tools/scripts to pick up the new files: if you explicitly name .json files (rather than just specifying the entire storage directory) in your backup configuration, you will need to add .dval files to get a complete, accurate backup. I don't think this will be an issue for any of you; I imagine that you're all just backing up the entire contents of storage regardless of format/name, that is the safest (and IMO most correct) way to go (if that's not what you're doing, consider changing your approach). The current code stores the data in both the .dval form and the .json form to hedge against any real-world problems I don't encounter in my own use. Some future build will drop this redundancy (i.e. save only to .dval form). However, the read code for the .json form will remain in any case. This applies only to persistent storage that Reactor creates and controls under the storage tree. All other JSON data files (e.g. device data for Controllers) are unaffected by this change and will remain in that form. YAML files are also unaffected by this change. This thread is open for any questions or concerns.

Possible feature request 2?
CatmanV2C
Just another thought. Adding devices from my Home Assistant / Zigbee2MQTT integration. Works perfectly but they always add as their IEEE address. Some of these devices have up to 10 entities associated, and the moment they are renamed to something sensible, each of those entities 'ceases to exist' in MSR. I like things tidy, and deleting each defunct entity needs 3 clicks. Any chance of a 'bulk delete' option? No biggy as I've pretty much finished my Z-wave migration and I don't expect to be adding more than 2 new Zigbee devices Cheers C

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.

With build 25328, if you copy a global reaction, a new reaction does not appear in the UI unless you do a refresh. I recall this used to work without needing this page refresh? Anyway, only a minor nuisance.

Difficulty defining repeating annual period
R
I have tried numerous ways to define a recurring annual period, for example from December 15 to January 15. No matter which method I try - after and before, between, after and/not after, Reactor reports "waiting for invalid date, invalid date. Some constructs also seem to cause Reactor to hang, timeout and restart. For example "before January 15 is evaluated as true, but reports "waiting for invalid date, invalid date". Does anyone have a tried and true method to define a recurring annual period? I think the "between" that I used successfully in the past may have broken with one of the updates.

Need help with sequence
T
Good evening all, For about the past week or so, I've been having problems with a specific rule in my home automation that controls when my home goes from an Away mode to Home mode. One of the conditions it checked for was my alarm panel, when it changed from Armed Away to Disarmed. There seems to have been a firmware update on the panel that added an intermittent step of "pending", and I can't say for certain it happens 100% of the time. Is there a way to write a condition that so it changes from one condition, to the next, and then another condition? As in, Home alarm changes from armed_away to pending to disarmed. Thanks.

Possible feature request?
CatmanV2C
No idea how easy this would be. During my migration away from Z-wave I've been replacing the Z-wave devices with Sonoff which has broken some of my automations. Any chance of a 'Test Reaction' function to call out which ones are broken because an entity no longer exists? Without actually running the reaction? Or does this exist already and I'm just not aware of how to do it? Obviously I can see entities that are no longer available, but not quite what I'm looking for. I guess it's something of an edge case so no huge issue. TIA! C

Reset a delay
CatmanV2C
I'm sure this has been asked, and answered, but damned if I can figure it out Use case: I have a rear garden with lights. A door from the kitchen into the garden and a door from the garage. Currently if I open the kitchen door the lights come on (yay) and a 3 minute delay starts. After 3 minutes, no matter what else happens, the lights go off (Boo! But also yay!) What I would like is for the 3 minute delay until the lights go off to start from the latest door open event. That is, if I'm going from kitchen to garage, and back again, the lights stay on until there's three minutes of no activity. I've tried 'hacking' with a virtual switch, but can't seem to stop the delay. Any pointers? TIA C

    Him ... Got The reactor up and running but I can't see my Vera Plus and Hubitat.

    I have restarted the reactor after doing necessary input in the reactor.yaml file.reactor:

        If this is in config and not dist-config then you are off to a good start. A couple of notes:

        1. Remove the # from before province, and place a # before state -- you modified the data, but didn't comment/uncomment the fields.
        2. 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 to config 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..:)

            Do you know, does HomeBridge set the POST URL automatically, or did you have to set it (e.g. copy-paste from somewhere)?

              This new plugin does not rely on the "Homebridge App" in Hubitat and utilizes the MakerAPI and it's event stream to communicate with Hubitat. A few caveats upfront: You will have to redo all of your room assignments in the Home App on your phone Installation: 1. Hubitat MakerAPI App...

                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! :).

                    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
                      2021-02-23T05:47:15.934Z Controller:NOTICE HubitatController#hubitat not ready; performing initial connect/query

                      The HUBITAT logs says:
                      sys:12021-02-23 11:37:32.680 Received local request for App 8 that does not exist, path: /devices/* from unknown

                      They are not from same time.... The msr is bombing the Hubitat with tries. ( so often that the Hubitat has hard doing stuff)

                      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.

                                        Not just the documentation.... their Rulemachine can be soooo annoying! Speaking of documentation Whats the easiest way to update the msr?

                                          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:
