    • [Solved] MSR actions aren't running anymore-- can't find what's broken

      E

      Suddenly my MSR actions aren't running anymore. I've had this before, but with an update to a new version it was fixed. see also

      https://smarthome.community/topic/987/msr-actions-aren-t-running-anymore-can-t-find-what-s-broken/3?_=1674661492589

      But an update from version 22240 to 22256 gave this time no result.

      The reactions aren't running correctly. Most of my MSR automations are use turn lights on/off, and time based automations nothing worked where MSR does his magic.

      I've also tested a bunch of things to see what's broken, here's what I've observed:
      -I can successfully flip lights on/off manually within Vera
      -I can successfully flip lights on/off manually within MSR's Entities section
      -the sensors are correctly reporting to Vera and MSR (I can see when they're switch on/off)
      -the rules within MSR are working correctly, I can see when they flip to 'true' of 'false' '
      '
      But I cannot successfully run the "Set Reaction" and "Reset Reaction" within MSR (by hitting the 'play' button)
      But the play buttons on the entitiy action in the "Set Reaction" and in "Reset Reaction" they work well.

      Can someone help me to get MSR working again

      MSR is running bare metal on Rpi4

    • My MQTTController templates contribution

      Crille

      I've made a few templates for MQTTController, mostly Zigbee2MQTT, and sharing them to the community if anyone else would find use for them.

      GitHub - calmen77/MSR-mqtt_templates: MQTT templates for Multi-hub Reactor GitHub - calmen77/MSR-mqtt_templates: MQTT templates for Multi-hub Reactor

      MQTT templates for Multi-hub Reactor. Contribute to calmen77/MSR-mqtt_templates development by creating an account on GitHub.

      These are the ones I'm using but I'm happy to add more Zigbee2MQTT templates if needed.

      Happy Holidays!

    • Ezlo Controller - Error Incompatible serialization data - api cloud Timeout

      N

      Hi,
      Connection to Ezlo is going in timeout with api-cloud.ezlo. This happens in anonymous_access set to false or in true.
      A lot of Error Incompatible serialization data (in the log I cut many more).
      In MSR controller status, Ezlo is in green icon but after sometime devices start to not respond.
      Can I have some help?

      Synology Nas - INTEL - DSM 7.1.1-42962 Update 3
      Ezlo Hub Model: h2.1 - v.2.0.35.2156.5

    • Help. Installing Reactor on Home Assistant.

      Good afternoon. I want to connect Reactor to HA. HA is installed on Proxmox. Proxmox is installed on a Beelink U59 PRO mini PC. Studied the installation instructions ( https://reactor.toggledbits.com/docs/Installation / ) but I didn't understand how to do it (I'm a weak linux user). Help, give detailed instructions on how to install MSR.
      Reactor is a cool plugin, I use it on VeraPlus, but gradually I want to switch to HA.

    • Neural TTS with Sonos & Hubitat

      tunnus

      My migration from Vera to Hubitat is almost ready, only Sonos & Visonic (alarm system) remain on Vera. Hubitat has a Sonos integration, but it lacks neural voices for TTS so I've been looking for an alternative solution.

      @a-lurker hinted that there's a mqtt version for Sonos so I went that route and installed Docker containers for both sonos2mqtt and sonos-tts-polly. It turned out that I won't need mqtt for this at all, and I can utilize Hubitat's integration and just use the latter container for Polly.

      Did create a separate user on AWS only for TTS usage (there's an access right called "AmazonPollyReadOnlyAccess") and configured key, secret & cache in the container. Then I made the following test rule / reaction in MSR:

      Screenshot 2023-01-20 at 15.32.23.png Screenshot 2023-01-20 at 15.32.38.png

      So if anyone else has the same (or similar) setup, here's one way to achieve neural TTS with Sonos.

    • Cheapest platform on which to run MSR

      T

      Please can anyone give me advice on a cheap way to run MSR (both initial cost and ongoing electricity cost). I currently run it on my QNAP network drive (which works very well incidentally). However, this draws a constant 35Watts (£90/yr @ 30p/kWh) and given the recent rise in fuel costs I am evaluating the best way forwards. Note, I only really need to turn my QNAP on for an hour a week to back-up my computer data. I understand that MSR can run on a Raspberry PI, but I am not competent with Linux! Thanks.

    • [Resolved] Determining if button is pushed

      3

      MSR latest-23010-7dd2c9e9 in a Docker image
      HE C7 hub on 2.3.4.130

      I'm trying to determine how to sense that a button has actually been pushed. I added a ThirdReality button to my hub and the current states don't release or reset after a function has been done. I/E: when I push the button, it sets the "pushed" state to 1. Same for all the other functions, double tap, hold, release. Nothing ever goes back to 0 or cleared out.

      If I write my trigger as when "button.pushed" == 1, the current value is already one and the rule stays true all the time. What I'm after is when the button is pushed, the action will toggle the light I want to control.

      I feel like I am missing something or maybe the States of the button are the issue. I can use Rule Machine in my HE and it sees the button as pushed, or held. But I would prefer to have all my logic in MSR.

      And for some reason, I cannot post images. The server keeps giving me a parsing error.

    • Admin user required for Home Assistant Controller status and reactions

      S

      Hi,

      Took me a while to realise the issue here. Just want to share to save others the time of trying to figure out what's wrong.

      Reactor (Multi-hub) stable-22337-1a0a685f Home Assistant 2022.11.5

      Home Assistant integration with non-admin user (access token) will caused the Home Assistant status in Reactor to show as down. Entity info from Home Assistant, however, is being updated. But Reactor is unable to execute any reactions.

      If the user is changed to an admin user in Home Assistant, the status is changed to up and reactions work.

    • [Solved] ZWaveJSUI not responding to ZWaveJSController

      G

      I'm using ZWaveJSUI 1.4.2 within Home Assistant 2023.1.3. ZWaveJSController has been quite happy with it until I upgraded ZWaveJSController to 23010. This morning my iblinds weren't responding at all.

      As I'd made some changes to the rules I figured it was my work and returned it to original rules. No change (iblinds not responding.)

      Restarted MSR.
      Restarted ZWaveJSUI.
      No change.

      Rolled back ZWaveJSController to prior version 22323 and all is well again, iblinds responding.

      Thinking on this as I'm writing it and I realized there was a light on this morning that shouldn't have been. I now realize it's on the ZWaveJSUI as well and didn't turn off last night as the house went to sleep.

      I have the reactor.log if @toggledbits would like it.

    • [MSR] reactor-espresense to track ESPresense BTLE devices/beacons

      therealdb

      My main objective was to track cars/motorcycles in real time, as they are leaving/entering the property, and I've experimented with different solutions, including WiFi devices, but I was not satisfied.

      So, I have approached ESPresense to track BLE devices. I'm not yet 100% satisfied with my main use case (we'll see), but I learnt a couple of things about proximity along the way, so I've built a controller to natively track beacons/devices in MSR. The devices and beacons could be tracked inside Home Assistant, but I don't like the way it's doing it, and I wanted a very device-oriented solution, instead of a room one.

      Introducing reactor-espresense.

      You'll have a device containing various info, like the current room where the beacon/device is currently in, the distance, and so on, for each BTLE device you'll choose to map. Configuration is needed to map your devices, and a look at the doc to understand how devices/beacons are detected away is suggested.

      I've not invested into commands so much, but it's on my TODO list.

      Feel free to post your requests/comments. Thanks!

      I upgraded my OS to Ubuntu 20.04 today and have been regretting it for several hours. I have most of my system up. However, I've found that, when I start Reactor, it panics / reboots my OS. I've included the syslog during startup below. There's a benign message about not finding a Vera device just before the reboot but that's it.

      Needless to say, I've learned my lesson regarding OS upgrades.

    • [MSR] reactor-mqtt-contrib package for additional MQTT templates

      therealdb

      I'm slowly migrating all my stuff to MQTT under MSR, so I have a central place to integrate everything (and, in a not-so-distant future, to remove virtual devices from my Vera and leave it running zwave only).

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

      GitHub - dbochicchio/reactor-mqtt-contrib: Contrib MQTT templates for Reactor 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 🙂

    • Sanity check on rule: using the sun as a condition for Group reactions

      G

      Goal: When in away mode I would like the blinds to shift from tilted to closed if I happen to still be out at the point sunset passes.

      The reason this is an ask for sanity check is I'm trying to use Groups in my Reaction.

      So I'm triggering on mode = away but also trying to see if I can trigger on the sun...

      3b8168c2-90ae-418b-8a0c-41bfa88c3fa1-image.png

      ...to trigger my Reaction groups:

      In MY mind this reads as "mode must be away and the sun is between sunrise > sunset use the first group Reaction or sunset > sunrise and if that happens whilst in away then use the second group Reaction.

      Worst case I'm already sipping eggnog and can just split it apart into two rules but I wanted to see if this would work and make it all self-containable.

      And about eggnog. What is nog, exactly...? Until I know for certain, I'm not drinking the stuff.

    • Need advice building templates for MQTTController

      Crille

      Two thoughts I'm struggling with:

      Regarding the lwt key "If this implementation isn't appropriate for your device, don't use the lwt key and handle the device's LWT topic and the x_mqtt_device.online attribute explicitly in your configuration."
      Could you elaborate on how I would do this?
      I've tried my_shelly_uni: capabilities: ['power_switch', 'toggle', "binary_sensor", "x_mqtt_device"] primary_attribute: power_switch.state requires: [topic, channel] events: "shellies/%topic%/relay/%channel%": "power_switch.state": expr: 'bool(payload)' "shellies/%topic%/adc/0": "binary_sensor.state": expr: 'int(payload) < "1"' "shellies/%topic%/online": "x_mqtt_device.online": expr: 'bool(payload)'

      for Shelly UNI which sends true/false in the online topic.

      Is there a way to group templates in one "brand" file in the mqtt_templates folder? For example a ìkea_tradfri.yaml that hold templates for control_outlet,light_bulb_e14,light_bulb_e27 etc.?

      Bare-metal install Reactor latest-22343, MQTTController-22340.

      I have a docker running smoothly now, thought i'd share it. (and BTW, it looks awesome, Patrick!)
      So far i've only opened 8111, and /config as volume. Mabye the full /reactor folder should be exposed for easy updating?

      docker compose:

      version: "3.9"
      services:
        MSR:
          container_name: MSR
          restart: always
          image: perhu/msr-alpine:latest
          ports:
            - "8111:8111"
          networks:
            HAnett:
              ipv4_address: 192.168.0.8
          volumes:
            - type: bind
              source: /etc/localtime
              target: /etc/localtime
            - type: volume
              source: MSR-config
              target: /etc/reactor/config
            - type: volume
              source: MSR-storage
              target: /etc/reactor/storage
      logging:
              driver: "json-file"
              options:
                  max-file: "5"
                  max-size: 10m
      networks:
          HAnett:
              name: HAnett
              driver: bridge
              ipam:
                  config:
                      - subnet: 192.168.0.0/16
                        gateway: 192.168.0.254
      volumes:
        MSR-config:
          name: MSR-config
        MSR-storage:
          name: MSR-storage
      

      dockerfile for those who want to modify the image: (this works if you have unzipped MSR zip file to the same folder as the dockerfile)

      FROM alpine:latest
      
      COPY /reactor/. /etc/reactor/
      
      RUN apk add --update nodejs npm && cd /etc/reactor \
              && npm install --loglevel error --no-save \
              && cp dist-config/* config/
      
      VOLUME ["/etc/reactor/config"]
      
      VOLUME ["/etc/reactor/storage"]
      
      EXPOSE 8111
      
      CMD ["/bin/sh"]
      
      WORKDIR /etc/reactor
      
      CMD ["node", "/etc/reactor/app.js"]
      

      EDIT: 20210307 - updated with localtime bind

        Per, there's also a storage folder that should be a volume or bind mount.

            @LibraSun asked about MSR docker on synology in another thread. I don't know whats special on synology as i don't hvae one, but this is how you can do it on other linux systems (and please correct me if something's wrong in the write-up, im still learning here!):

            Start by downloading reactor from the bugtracker place and unzip it to an appropriate folder on the NAS called "/.../reactor/"
            Edit your /reactor/config/reactor.yaml with the appropriate settings
            In the same folder you have the /reactor/ sub folder, create a textfile called "dockerfile" (no extension)
            paste this in:

            FROM alpine:latest
            
            COPY /reactor/. /etc/reactor/
            
            RUN apk add --update nodejs npm && cd /etc/reactor \
                   && npm install --loglevel error --no-save \
                   && cp dist-config/* config/
            
            VOLUME ["/etc/reactor/config"]
            
            VOLUME ["/etc/reactor/storage"]
            
            EXPOSE 8111
            
            CMD ["/bin/sh"]
            
            WORKDIR /etc/reactor
            
            CMD ["node", "/etc/reactor/app.js"]
            

            save & close, and then type docker build -t your/image:version .

            Then you can make a docker-compose like mine in the above post, or you can use run command:
            docker run -p 8111:8111 your/image:version

            Note: @toggledbits prefers to keep control over MSR distribution through the alpha/beta testing, so publishing on dockerhub is not an option. You can have private repositories there as well in order to transfer an image between machines easily.

              I'm just putting finishing touches on the first Synology container. I'm going with the approach that it can be configured and started from the UI, which helps with the var data and config. I had to add a way to redirect (or really, prefix) those directories, as well as some additional initializations (which I'm working on at this moment). I'll probably still make composer an option for folks that are OK with command line into their NAS. Once the container has been created, it's low-maintenance. My Dockerfile appears below, for your review (proof-read/code check, if you like, I'm new to docker).

              FROM node:alpine

                  OK. Let's see how this does in your hands. I've installed and uninstalled 3-4 times and it seems OK. In the bug tracker, go to #58, in the notes you'll find a download link and draft installation instructions. You can use the "monitor" function to follow that PR (emails you when things are posted--might get chatty with a lot of people in there, though). Please use that PR for reporting install-related issues.

                    This loads up nicely. Running unconfigured right now. I will transfer over my configs later and test it out.

                      nice! i'll try this later. node:alpine should be a better staring image for sure.

                      Only question i have is if you should nest more of the commands together to reduce number of layers. This is said to reduce both build time and image size.
                      i think that can be done with the copying the full reactor folder in, and then distribute the files (like you do with the multiple COPY lines) with a RUN command having several nested "cp" commands.

                        just have to mention for all non-synology docker users, Portainer is a very nice UI alternative for playing with dockers without the "dreaded" command line approach. 🙂

                          OK. Let's see how this does in your hands. I've installed and uninstalled 3-4 times and it seems OK. In the bug tracker, go to #58, in the notes you'll find a download link and draft installation instructions. You can use the "monitor" function to follow that PR (emails you when things are posted--might get chatty with a lot of people in there, though). Please use that PR for reporting install-related issues.

                          This loads up nicely. Running unconfigured right now. I will transfer over my configs later and test it out.

                          Just an update, I copied over config and storage directories to the mounted docker volume and Reactor would not start until I also created a 'logs' directory in the mounted docker volume. All looked well after that but going to continue to run it on my Debian VM for now.

                            It's supposed to (a) notice those directories and missing and create them, and (b) if (and only if) it created the config directory, copy the contents of the containers dist-config into config as a starting point. Seems to be fine on Linux, somehow not working in the container, I guess. Time to go digging...

                              Quick note about base image, I've built my image using both node:alpine and alpine:latest as base image, and the former ended up being approx. 50mb bigger.
                              I did however not do the rm -rf node_modules from your dockerfile (as i didn't see why it was there), that may be the difference?

                                Hi, I’m keen to try the Docker version on my QNAP, but I can’t find the specific guide on https://reactor.toggledbits.com/docs/Installation/ , it suggests under the Raspberry Pi install section, “If you prefer to use Docker, see the separate procedure below.’ but nothing seems to be listed ?

                                  There hasn't been published a docker for this yet, I think @toggledbits wants to go through the beta phase first, as there may be many updates in a short time-frame which would have to be maintained in the docker.

                                  You can follow the procedure i posted 5 days ago (in this thread) to make your own docker.

                                    I'm just starting to look at ways to migrate away from Vera and just started working on a Home Assistant setup so I'd also love to have a go at testing this out in Docker on a QNAP but I don't really want to have to SSH into the NAS to do the docker compose, etc. I have only ever used the docker hub to add docker images but it looks like it's possible to use the QNAP container station to create a docker image locally but the steps you posted a few days ago in the thread don't seem to be in the format that the GUI needs, or I'm doing something wrong. If there aren't any QNAP gurus around I'll wait for something to come up.

                                      The code above is for dockerfile. That is for making images, while docker-compose sets up containers based on images you make, or is found on docker hub.
                                      No idea how QNAP works, you say it has input for dockerfile code? if so, the code above should work (the dockerfile code, not the compose!), its very standardized.. But unless you make the image yourself i guess you'll have to wait with MSR in docker until there is an official MSR image.

                                        Hi @d868, other than creating our own image, we’ll have to wait until one’s approved and then published on Docker Hub.
                                        If it helps you I’m planning to do the same thing with MSR as I did with Home Assistant, and create a Container Station API build guide.

                                        Rather than use the UI to build your Home Assistant Docker container, you can do it all via the command line using its API. https://qnap-dev.github.io/container-station-api/ Here’s how I did it… On any device, access it via the command line, In this situation, I’m doing it on the QNAP itself...

                                          @parkerc thanks. I'm trying to avoid doing anything by command line if I can, but if you do end up creating a guide I'll see how I go with it. In the meantime I'll have a bit of a play around with Container station to see if I can get the syntax right for creating it myself via the GUI.

                                            Just updated the first post.
                                            I just noticed that Reactor time wasn't correct, and its probably because of daylight savings time here in Norway.
                                            I put a Bind mount for /etc/localtime in the docker-compose, and noW it will follow the host machines time.
