I need a handful of victims volunteers to help test previews of the next build of Reactor. A long-standing request was for "a simple login mechanism," but in practice, adding user authentication and competent access control turned out to be a pretty big project with a lot of big changes on both server and client sides. It's a bit more than I'm comfortable testing myself and springing out to everyone at once, so I'd like to work with a small group to put it through "sea trials."
Major changes/features include:
User authentication with hashed password storage; User group configuration with application restriction (admin, dashboard, API); Detailed control over API access, with user- and token-based authentication/authorization; Improvements to the HTTPS service; Improvements to UI coordination with the core for Rules and Reactions.If this sounds like something you'd like to help with, drop me a reply here in this thread or privately.
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.That's probably more appropriate to post on Mantis for @toggledbits, but since I know there's at least @Crille publishing templates, my intent with this post is to open a broader discussion.
Long story short: I'm starting to slowly add new template for Shelly Plus and I noticed I'll end up with a dozen more templates, all similar but simply different in trivial details, all sharing a large amount of code and all needing special cares when fixing bugs/adding features (as the latest wifi_status addition).
So, I'm wondering if it's time to start thinking of some sort of inheritance in templates, where I could just create a generic shelly_gen1 and use it as a base for shelly_relay, and this be used as the base for shelly_relay_power and so on.
I could probably achieve this with some sort of scripting on my side to generate templates via code, but maybe there's a better way of doing this, or it's already on the radar.
Good morning,
I'm running userauth-24137-57b41335 on Fedora 39, bare metal installation.
ZWaveJSController 0.1.23254
Home Assistant:
Core, 2024.5.3 Supervisor, 2024.05.1 Operating System, 12.3 Frontend, 20240501.1I'm trying to troubleshoot a Dynamic Group Controller and notification alert that I've set up for low battery level.
In my Reactor.config, I have the following lines:
name: "Dynamic Group Controller" implementation: DynamicGroupController config: groups: "zwavejs_dead": select: - include_group: "zwavejs" filter_expression: "entity?.attributes?.zwave_device?.status == 3" group_actions: true "low_battery": select: - include_capability: battery_power filter_expression: > entity.attributes.battery_power.level < 0.35The idea here is that I should only have members of this group that have a battery level below 35%. When I go into Entities, I show a whole slew of devices, none of which have a battery level below the threshold.
a77e445b-ab78-4752-a624-3c4117f34f90-image.png
I also tried setting up a rule to generate a push notification once a day, but with all of the group members, I've had to disable the rule. I believe I have it set up correctly, but I'm not 100% sure. I want the notification to tell me the battery level for that device as well.

Can anyone point to me what I may have misconfigured to get these results?
I should also note I'm only interested in ZWaveJS devices. It's showing me battery status for my iPad and car as well, which I don't need it to send me.
I have a case where I'm trying to send a MQTT message similar to the example below:
Topic: pool/set { "command": 4, "value": 1, "time": 0, "interval": 0 }But I need to set "value" so that it is an integer between 20-30. I thought I could use "dimming" capability here, but there's probably a better way. @therealdb ?
(Using userauth-24120-7745fb8d build in Docker)
There's a filtering capability for entities in reactor.yaml, but I have a case where I don't want to filter an entity altogether, but would like to "throttle" it, as this sensor updates every 1-2 seconds (and therefore unnecessarily takes database space).
Sensor data comes through home assistant, and seems that there's no way to control update interval at that end.
So I'm asking if plugin configuration could support limiting/throttling updates for certain entities?
Good morning,
Hopefully this is a simple request. I believe the title should be self explanatory, but just in case, I'll elaborate.
On the status tab, we all get alerts if a device state has changed (i.e., been removed). This is great, but when I go into the entities tab, I have to either type the name (or a portion thereof) of the device that has been removed, or I need to scroll all the way through my list of devices. This is infrequent, however, yesterday I replaced a failed device in my HAAS environment. It was a Z-Wave switch that is added using the Smart Scan QR code, which normally makes it pretty easy. However, some devices don't get fully added the first time around, so it'll add multiple entries into HAAS until it get's the S2 authentication correct and the device fully included. It did this to me yesterday, and I had to delete the incomplete device from my installation. MSR still saw the entities of that failed/incomplete switch entity, and I was left with 8 alerts and entities that I needed to removed.
It's not a huge problem, but this example was just one switch. If I were to add replace multiple devices at once, this could be a bit more annoying to remove. It would be helpful to be able to filter by removed entities, so I can find them all quickly and delete them. Continuing that train of thought, it would also be useful to have check boxes next to those lines, and perhaps do a select all type of thing so they could be deleted in one mouse click.
@toggledbits I have finally finished up the SSL using Let's Encrypt and am getting this from my local browser:

I know you said in the docs that using a self-signed could lead to this but this is LE.
Hi @toggledbits,
I don't know if I'm the only one, so I'm reporting here first instead of opening a bug.
Basically, with the latest 2-3 updates of Reactor and MQTTController, after a restart previous statuses are lost (for both Virtual and MQTT entities), until they're restored.
It's particularly annoying for Virtual Entities, because I have to set them all over again (I've coded some defaults at startup if the values are empty, but sometimes these are not the correct values before the update).
Not easy to reproduce, and logs are gone, but the first time I tought it was me hallucinating, the second one didn't bother too much, after the third I realized it's something not coming from me.
the behavior could be seen in this screenshot:
1c007fc2-4dbc-4476-8dca-e5aa111e4642-image.png
Any hint is appreciated.
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:
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 🙂
Good morning,
So Home Assistant decided to change the default weather home format that I've been using for the past year and a half. I had two Global Expressions set up to pull the high and low temp forecast for the day. Now it's pulling null values.
094c9205-cc9e-4fcc-ac4f-1bf54acea299-image.png
In the dev tools, it now uses a new service (Weather. get forecasts), plural, where the old Weather.get forecast is depreciated and now longer functions.
8c7a1fcc-dd3f-4268-a0b7-29d542f86adc-image.png
It shows a templow field, and a temperature field, which I presume is the forecast high.
When I head back over to MSR, I'm having a hard time finding those values in the Entities tab.

MSR: latest-24057-e9add9f5
Hey Patrick, I recently have been noticing that MSR has been acting up ie. it's been needing restarts and has been slow. I began trouble shooting by looking at the logs and have noticed the following errors for a lot of entities. I thought maybe a simple reboot of RPi was needed and I kept seeing the same errors in the system logs. I am oddly enough not seeing these same errors in the MSR logs. Where things started getting weird is whenever I rebooted MSR it wouldn't come back online .I would have to restart the RPi then it would come back online. I just restarted MSR again to capture logs and it restarted fine, so I guess its good for now? I think this is more or so a corrupted SD card issue rather a MSR issue but well being troubleshooting from here. The SD card is about 1-2 years old.
Apologies if this post is everywhere, I cannot consistently recreate any oddities that are happening, that's what is leading me to believe my SD is going bad.
PS: If anyone knows how to diagnose a corrupt SD card please chime in.

This system has been running flawlessly year after year for the time changes twice a year literally since MSR came out so I was caught off-guard when this happened this morning.
Time in MSR browser is EST, time on RPi is local time (DST).

What am I missing here @toggledbits ?
Hi,
For the standard capabilities MSR sends both a value record and a units record to InfluxDB. The latter I would like not to send as they are not really any use for me and it will reduce the number of records send to my InfluxDB.
Is there a quick way to do this with a filter_entities line like: *>units?
Or do I have to update all capabilities to read like this:
power_sensor:
attributes:
value: true
Cheers Rene
I'm trying to replicate this
wallbox_set_number.PNG
into a MQTT entity where I could set a number with a min and max value.
I can't find a standard capability that fits or any documentation on local MQTT capabilities and the only post on the forum mentioning local MQTT capabilities is this post, is it even possible in current release?
My trial and error work in local_mqtt_capabilities.yaml isn't much to show as it's just a copy of mqtt_capabilities.yaml with changed names and then I got stuck.
Any guidance, examples, documentation, future feature request or denial would be much appreciated, thanks!

MQTTController 24050
Hi guys,
I've recently bought a new Govee outdoor permanent lights set, and I love it. WAF is pretty high, and the product is good quality. I hope to never run lights in the front of the house.
This new addition has found me searching for something to control these lights, locally. Govee has officials remote and LAN APIs and Home Assistant has it supported, but some undocumented stuff that's integrated into an Homebridge plugin that seems very promising. Without this plugin, my playlist is orchestrated via the cloud and that makes zero sense.
In the past I got some inspiration from plugins running on other platforms and Homebridge seems one of the most active. I could map its devices via HomeKit-local on HA, but I've decommissioned Homebridge years ago when we settled to Alexa (and I want to stay simple), so I had an idea: why get inspiration and rewrite things, when you could write an Homebridge adapter that could load any Homebridge plugin and run them natively under Reactor (MSR)?
I'm not sure if that's viable or made any sense, so I'm posting here to get feedback, encouragement and your thoughts. Anyone could be potentially interested in such a thing?
Hi- looking for a hint in where to start. My goal is to set a PIN code in a zwave kwikset lock triggered in a rule.
The device isn’t exposing methods to help. The x-hass.call-service looks promising, but what would the service name be?
Plan b would be send the zwave controller a config command- I don’t see any way to explicitly send a command through JS Zwave in my environment.
Running reactor bare metal. JS Zwave is running as an add on inside HASS OS.
Any tips are appreciated.
Hey crew, I'm trying to use MSR to control the RGB values of a Z-Wave bulb in Home Assistant.
Problem I'm running into - I would like to use 'rgb_color.set' to control this, but it doesn't work, instead it always passes the values '255,255,255' to HA no matter what values I enter within MSR.
More notes and examples below - I'm wondering if this is a formatting issue that I'm missing? Thanks for any help!
NOTES FROM TROUBLESHOOTING:
'rgb_color.set_rgb' works successfully, which seems strange. You'd think they would both be affected I've tried a couple different formats, like adding quotes, adding/removing spaces between the RGB values, nothing has fixed it.EXAMPLES:
When I use 'rgb_color.set_rgb', the values successfully carry over to Home Assistant:

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).

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 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
andalpine:latest
as base image, and the former ended up being approx. 50mb bigger.
I did however not do therm -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.
-
@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.
