Just noticed that when trying to reorder some expressions, e.g. move the most recent one from the bottom of the list to the first, this new order didn't "stick".
At first yes, but when visiting some other menus (obviously saving before that) and then coming back, the moved item was in its original position (in the end of the list).
I currently have 29 global expressions (which may or may not have some relevance to this problem). Using build 21281 on linux.
Can log a PR with logs, if this seems hard to reproduce.

Just updated to latest 21294, ran usual update, It appears to start ok in console, but will not load in browser. The NODE_path looks correct but the console log show the below error.

A few new functions have worked their way into Reactor's expression language over the last couple of months, and while they are documented in the change logs and documentation, it seems some of you are not aware of them, so I'm going to pick one out and highlight it, maybe do others later...
A lot of you build strings in expressions by simple concatenation, and there's nothing wrong with that, but there's a new function in the expression language that can help you clean things up, in particular when handling numeric values.
I've noticed many of you will round your results either on the calculation, or in some cases, in a separate variable. For example, say we have a pair of expressions that retrieves the indoor and outdoor temperature from a sensor and the weather service:
indoor = getEntity( 'hubitat>144' ).attributes.temperature_sensor.value' ) outdoor = getEntity( 'weather>home' ).attributes.wx.temperatureThe weather service, since it converts from degrees K in its reporting to degrees C, may have an irrational or repeating value (e.g. 8.233333333...). As a result, when you compute the difference, it, too, may have an irrational or repeating result, so you decide to round it to one decimal:
tempDiff = round( outdoor - indoor, 1 )Then, perhaps you have a rule that if the differential is greater than 10 degrees, you send a notification, and the notification uses all three variables in the message string:
${{ 'The outdoor temperature is ' + outdoor + 'C and the indoor temperature is ' + indoor + 'C; the difference is ' + tempDiff + 'C' }}This is fine, except that the outdoor temperature isn't rounded, so you decide to fix that. There are at least three ways: add a round() to the outdoor variable expression, or create a third variable like outdoorRounded = round( outdoor, 1 ), or, use the round() function into the substitution expression
${{ 'The outdoor temperature is ' + round( outdoor, 1 ) + 'C and the indoor temperature is ' + indoor + 'C; the difference is ' + tempDiff + 'C' }}It's all getting very messy... Let's use format() instead of string concatenation, and not worry about rounding the difference, so we keep the maximum precision possible for any calcs or tests that use it. We go back to:
indoor = getEntity( 'hubitat>144' ).attributes.temperature_sensor.value' ) outdoor = getEntity( 'weather>home' ).attributes.wx.temperature tempDiff = outdoor - indoorNow our string substitution:
${{ format( "The outdoor temperature is {0:.1f}C and the indoor temperature is {1:.1f}C; the difference is {2:.1f}C", outdoor, indoor, tempDiff ) }}Here, format() is building the message string. Each {} (curly-brace) pair denotes the substitution of a parameter to follow. The number first inside the opening curly brace is the parameter number, starting from 0 as the first parameter. So parameter 0 in this example refers to the variable outdoor, and 1 is indoor, and 2 is tempDiff. Using the numbers, parameters can be inserted in any order.
Each of these substitutions in the example includes an optional format specification. If no format specification is given (e.g. {0}), then the parameter is converted to a string with no special formatting, but since we can get numbers like 8.233333... it's desirable to use some formatting to make it pretty. The format is separated from the parameter number by the : (colon) in the substitution. The format we're using for all three parameters is .1f, which is <width>.<precision>f. Any number before the dot is a fixed field width, but since we want no extra spaces, we just don't specify a width (it's blank for our example), and the value will take as much space as it needs. The f at the end tells format() that the value is going to be formatted as a floating point number, and the .1 before the f tells the formatter to display a single decimal digit. So our 8.23333333 value would be displayed as 8.2, without using extra functions or variables, or dropping precision in a calculation. For clarity, 10.875 would be displayed/inserted as 10.9 in this example, because the formatter will round the displayed result to the specified number of decimal digits.
Tip: for simple string insertions that require no special formatting, format() will let you skip the parameter numbers if the parameters are in the same order as the substitutions, and the default format is (generic) string (s), so format( "{} x {} = {}", "alpha", "beta", "gamma" ) produces the string alpha x beta = gamma.
Docs for format are in the Reactor documentation under the heading Special Reactor Functions.

@toggledbits Master, following the discussion of this thread, the variable FaultMSG is composed with the list of devices that will be displayed, example below.
07849e24-9a19-4957-a585-cfcd12088620-image.png
As you can see, the final string of devices, not sorted by name, follows the array generated by the device ID, composed one step earlier.
07fec184-0814-45e4-b689-533372af1fb4-image.png
Is it possible to sort by device name? Before generating the string? I think when generating the array?
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. -
Is there a way to back-up MSR Rule Sets and Configuration. I need to update my QNAP Container Station MSR install which I understand is not straight forward. If it all goes pear-shaped, and I loose my Rule Sets and Configuration, I wondered if it could be restored from a previous back-up?
Also, can someone possibly point me to the best method to update the MSR install on my QNAP?

Hi
I have some devices on my Vera Plus controller that sometimes change to say "Can't detect device".
I can clear those red banners that show up in the Vera UI7 web GUI, for a device by running some LUA code like this:
luup.set_failure(0, 331)Maybe I can use the new MSR matchEntities to find and detect any devices on Vera that have developed the "Can't detect device" error and then reset them. ?
I can currently manually specify a particular problem device in a ruleset trigger like this:
6f789006-ce19-4776-b3dd-290e28e84c8b-image.png
But if I could have a rule that automatically detects any device that develops this problem that would be better.
Thanks

@toggledbits I added an IP camera to my Ezlo for testing and my global variable for Ezlo devices that are not responding randomly do a quick toggle from empty to "IP camera" then back to empty.

Hi,
I feel a bit stupid with this issue since I know it is working and that it worked before.
I just can't seem to have a date range (between) going past dec 31 to work. In the interim, I manage to acheive what I want by using the "not between" equivalent.
I am using MSR on a raspberry Pi and I do have the latest development version (21286).
Here is a screen capture on which I have both the "between" and its equivalent "not Between" just so that you could see it.
I is probably something stupid and apologise in advance.
Thanks

In the background of other work, I've been putting together a build system for the OpenWrt version that Ezlo is using on the Plus. Job done. I can build pretty much any package, which may come in handy some day.
As a test of that, I thought, why not build nodejs... and you know where that leads, right?
It took some doing. There are a lot of dependencies, and the errors you get when the dependencies aren't met correctly can be cryptic and took quite a bit of research and experimentation to resolve... weeks, in fact, over a couple of hours here, a couple there.
But it's done and I now have Reactor running on an Ezlo Plus.
I'm not sure what the long term utility of this might be. Since the new Ezlo philosophy is to upgrade your system automatically on reboots, and so far the upgrades have wiped substantial parts of the file system in my experience, this could be a non-starter as a platform — you wouldn't want your automations to get blown off the machine every time Ezlo upgrades firmware (because you don't know when that's going to be, and Murphy says it will be while you are on vacation with no remote access). But, if there is some place it can be tucked away safely, or if, as probably should be demanded by the user community, updates become elective and user-driven, it actually makes a nice Pi-ish platform to run on.
On to the next skunkworks project...

I started using this matchEntities() instruction recently when it was made available, and I see you have been making recent adjustments. Wouldn't this situation of continuing to evaluate be related?
I will turn the rule off, so as not to generate this situation that surely damages the functioning of the MSR, and I look forward to your comments please.
Thanks

Hi!
- id: reactor_system enable: true implementation: SystemController name: Reactor System config: # # The update_interval can be set lower for more frequent updates. The default is 60 # seconds, which is probably fine for most cases, but causes the 15-second load av- # erage to be inaccurate (the first value in reactor_system.system_load). If you # don't care about the 15-second load average, then the default 60 seconds is fine. # This value is expressed in milliseconds. update_interval: 60000 locale: sv-SE #
I would like to try out the swedish translation (thanks @Crille ). I have tried to edit my reactor.yaml file in many ways, but the translation don't show up. I have done a browser hard refresh every time. Where do I go wrong? Here's my latest try:What's the correct syntax, placement and intendention?
Thanks!

Got a warning that "Rule is being throttled because its update rate exceeds 60 updates per minute. Check for logic errors that may be causing an evaluation loop, or devices that are "flapping".
Device in question here is Aeotec Smart Switch 6 connected to Vera Plus, and its configuration is below:
Screenshot 2021-08-31 at 13.13.22.png
Shouldn't be an evaluation loop as the rule is very simple (two AND'ed conditions where the first checks whether alarm state is "disarmed" and the second if smart switch power switch state is false).
Noticed though at the time of warning that wattage measured/reported was changing quite rapidly, so even though wattage was not used in the rule, could that be the reason for throttling? If so, is there anything else that could be done other than raising minimum change values in device configuration? Would like to retain sensitivity for other purposes.

Hey crew, I followed the tutorial to get MSR installed on Rasbperry Pi (bare metal). Just having a little trouble getting Vera to connect to it.
I'm getting error messages-- I searched in the forum and didn't see other people running into these messages. Here are the two main errors I've been getting...
2021-09-21T01:30:36.477Z <VeraController:ERR> VeraController#vera update request failed: FetchError: request to http://10.0.0.141:3480/data_request?id=user_data&ns=1&Timeout=15&output_format=json&_r=1632187836460 failed, reason: socket hang upand

Thank you!

@toggledbits I've done a (test) Swedish translation for MSR, I don't want/need a translated version, but I had the time and perhaps some future users would find it useful 🙂
I noticed it's a bit early in the process to go live with systemwide localizations so no github in place yet, do you want input on this now or should we wait a few releases? considering it may be low priority issues.
If so, do you want feedback here or in mantis?
Future Plans for the Dashboard?

Hi
So the dashboard is a nice extra feature and I am sure for a lot of users it will come in very handy. Especially for Vera users as Imperihome is now dead and Vera themselves don't have a dashboard app.
I am currently using The Home Remote app, which is excellent but very difficult to learn and setup a decent looking dashboard.
The MSR dashboard is just there and available out of the box. It's pulling in all devices and scenes for each room.
First thing I'd like to see is to be able to hide devices and scenes that you do not want to see on your dashboard page.
Here is my front garden
I don't know how fully featured you plan to make this dashboard app? But to be able to move tiles around and position them would be cool. Maybe custom icon images also.
Will it always be just a webpage ? Any plans for a wrapper app on the mobile devices ?
Thanks

Loads of plans for the dashboard, but it is a very low priority right now compared to getting the engine running. Everything you've mentioned is planned, and some of it, like custom icons already exist but are not documented. It currently supports custom views, arrangeable panels, the widgets themselves are highly customizable, and you can write new layouts for existing widgets and write entirely new widgets. But none of that is documented at this point, and won't be for a while. Again, developer preview, not finished product.

I'm on the edge of my seat and can't wait... I've been on and off researching a dashboard replacement for Imperihome and now that I've started my migration away from Vera to Hubitat, I am getting more serious about finding one. I don't know the first thing about json, so I don't know where to start on getting the MSR dashboard customizations going. I have started looking at The Home Remote, but I'm having a heck of a time to get a device to appear within their Designer App.
Knowing that you have lots in store for the dashboard, may I inquire/suggest on a feature or two? Things that I love about Imperihome, yet can't seem to locate in any other dashboard. Everything seems to be around their APIs.
Changing pages/panels via HTTP command
When the temp outside is hotter than inside, I have the tablet make the TTS announcement to close the windows/doors and then have the tablet switch to the page/panel that has all my door and window sensorsThe blanking of the screen
When my house mode is <> home, I blank the screen. No sense in having it display when nobody is here. I also use nearby motion sensors to blank or activate the screen when someone is here. If nobody has been upstairs in a while, blank that tablet's screen.Viewing of my IP Camera
I have a door/window sensor hooked up to my doorbell. When the bell is rung, it changes the tablet display to the IP camera at my front door so I can see who it is.I also use the tablets main page as a clock and temperature readings, which I know most dashboards can do. But again. Learning curve on the Home Remote and I don't know json.

@cw-kid Thank you for this. I know this is slightly off topic, but I'm having a difficult time with The Home Remote to get a door/window sensor status to appear within my grid. Is there something I missed? Granted I did not watch all of the videos as the ones I skipped didn't really elude to adding in a device like you can do on the mobile app. I don't want to control the sensor, so a button seemed incorrect. I literally just want to display if the window is open or closed. Is that added as an Icon? Image? Or something else?
TIA
