Hello Everyone -
I have a peculiar situation that I'm hoping to get some help with.
Running Vera which is still handling my Zwave, MySensors, Zigbee, and still a balance of my Reactors.
However, I've also been running MSR for several months in preparation for an eventual move off of Vera.
Vera had one of its meltdowns this morning related to my Opensprinkler plug in.
After getting that straightened out, I added the OpenSprinkler plugin to HAAS and that's when I started having issues.
My existing MSR reactors (even simple ones) don't seem to fire their reactions. I can see the conditions go "true". If I manually fire the Reaction, it works fine.
I do see this a lot in the logs:
[1.0.2-21350]2022-05-16T19:02:44.518Z <Rule:INFO> Rule#rule-460 evaluation in progress; waiting for completion(Various rules - 460 is just an example)
Is there anything I can do to further troubleshoot?
-
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. -
My MSR has been working flawlessly until a couple of days ago when it stopped sending Telegram Messages (or should I say they stopped getting through!). I have updated to MSR version 22004. The reactor.log is updating and is showing no errors:

I am running MSR on my QNAP network attached storage. Any assistance would be appreciated.
Just another question...... I would like to post in the HOME HARDWARE VERA section of Smarthome, but I do not have the option to set up a new post. Do I need to request access for this?

Reviewed Config files, can't seen mention of certificate files in thereActual Question:
How do I apply a certificate to whatever web server Reactor uses? I'm familiar with managing certificates on IIS and Apache but Reactor doesn't use either of these and I have not been able to locat ethe config file that Reactor uses for this. Which config file needs editing to apply a certificate? Does it use the computer certificate store or it's own store (e.g. pem files)The reason I want to achieve this, other than the general goodness of having everything I can in TLS is that I have Reactor as an IFRAME in my HASS console and as HASS is HTTPS and Reactor is HTTP then the iframe refuses to open.
Search for "certificate" or "ssl" did not reveal anything relevant in this forum.

Hi Patrick,
Running HASS 2022.5.3
MSR zwavejs-22126-834c3e9Seeing weird behavior in MSR with regards to my Zen32's. Not sure how to capture info that might be relevent but will describe what I am seeing.
In the example below I pressed scene 001 4 times. It flashed and changed the primary value to "4". The remaining buttons were previously showing the PV as "double" I pushed each button one time and they flashed and displayed the PV as 4.
zen32.JPGIn the zwavejs2mqtt debug screen that sequence looks like this.
2022-05-10 09:38:44.078 INFO ZWAVE: Node 45: value notification: 91-0-scene-001 5 2022-05-10T16:38:44.081Z CNTRLR « [Node 045] received CentralScene notification { "nodeId": 45, "ccId": "Central Scene", "ccCommand": "0x03", "payload": "0x898501" } 2022-05-10 09:38:45.982 INFO ZWAVE: Node 45: value notification: 91-0-scene-002 0 2022-05-10T16:38:45.984Z CNTRLR « [Node 045] received CentralScene notification { "nodeId": 45, "ccId": "Central Scene", "ccCommand": "0x03", "payload": "0x8a8002" } 2022-05-10 09:38:47.807 INFO ZWAVE: Node 45: value notification: 91-0-scene-003 0 2022-05-10T16:38:47.810Z CNTRLR « [Node 045] received CentralScene notification { "nodeId": 45, "ccId": "Central Scene", "ccCommand": "0x03", "payload": "0x8b8003" } 2022-05-10 09:38:48.858 INFO ZWAVE: Node 45: value notification: 91-0-scene-004 0 2022-05-10T16:38:48.861Z CNTRLR « [Node 045] received CentralScene notification { "nodeId": 45, "ccId": "Central Scene", "ccCommand": "0x03", "payload": "0x8c8004" }Let me know what other info you would like me to supply.
I have played around with a bunch of other key stroke combo's and it looks like buttons 2-5 display what ever button 1 is set to.
Have tested this on 4 different ZEN32's and it is same on all. -
Running zwavejs-22118-baab576 in MSR, HASSOS 2022.5.1
Due to an unreported issue in HASS, when I upgraded the 2022.5 yesterday, it dropped ZwaveJS2MQTT from my HASSOS build. Finally got it reinstalled and it appears to be working the way it was previously.
MSR is now showing zwavejs down and in entities, nothing is updating.Seeing this in the logs:
ZWaveJSController#zwavejs ws_open caught [Error]Error: connect ECONNREFUSED 192.168.0.16:3000Are there additional steps needed that are not mentioned in the manual?
At a loss to figure out what is causing issue. -
Hi!
After several tests, restarting the computer where the MSR is, and the MSR itself by Tools > Restart, I have a persistent error in the logs.
32d45bc3-51f8-4718-a113-3381e9d7edf2-image.png
Looking at the global expression (screen below), I see that it is highlighted as an error, however, if I look at two other expressions above that have the same structure, they do not present an error, so I do not think the problem is with the expression's code.
ca8a7867-4ac7-4f9a-9913-15a80da18f05-image.png
This expression uses a group, which validates 4 devices of type door sensor, whether the status is true or false, door open or closed.
"dgc_entrance_open": name: DGC Entrance Open select: - include_entity: - "hubitat>37" - "hubitat>38" - "hubitat>99" - "hubitat>130" filter_expression: > entity.attributes?.door_sensor?.state == trueI also compared it with other groups, the structure is identical.
Looking at the 4 devices in this group, I see that all are active in the MSR, have similar variables, are used in other groups and rules that do not present a problem.
52b099f4-b9c4-46cb-ad3d-c873b09b7e13-image.png
Looking at the log, I understand that it refers to some object that would be null, at which point I am lost on what to actually look at.

This situation started to occur on the latest version of Reactor 22118, on a Windows 10 Bare Metal installation. Does anyone have a similar scenario?
Sorry for the long post, I tried to document as best as possible to try to identify the problem.
Thanks.

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.
-
I just noticed that the new hotness picked up the entities from when I added an integration temporarily to my Home Assistant and popped a lovely info notice into the Alerts pane.
I know the info is new - but when did MSR suddenly become more real-time with devices being added to hubs? This is great!
-
Noticed in the last few nights that my Global Reaction to turn on a mere six lights in the evenings the same two devices no longer turn on. One is a dimming smart bulb, the other is a wall outlet.
This has been running flawlessly for months - just in the last few nights I've noticed these two devices being left behind and yes, it's always these two devices only.
"What changed?"
No Hubitat firmware updates No new devices added to Hubitat list itemTwo MSR updates (the last two, I keep up with the latest) list itemHome Assistant releases (should have zero bearing, HA is nothing more than pretty dashboards) list itemAdded MQTT to MSRI did do a z-wave "repair" last night and am waiting to see if this helps.
Is there any maximum or cap on number of devices that should be included in a Global Reaction?
*Marked as solved as the question asked was answered. The issue persists but the question was answered.
-
I've borked my install of reactor-latest-22118-0f0772c.tar.gz for some reason and am retracing steps. Running npm i --no-save --omit dev prompted to update npm and I did (current version now 8.6.0). Currently, attempts to load via browser/s (Brave and Safari) result in "This site can’t be reached192.168.1.xxx refused to connect." I am still able to SSH into the RPi.
I haven't panicked yet but did just pull my config and storage directories - I believe I read where that's enough for a back-up if a clean install ends up being needed.
So the question of the day: which version of nmp should we be running on for the latest Reactor?
-
I’ve looked and can’t find the answer which concerns me that the answer is obvious and thats why I can't find the answer to this.
I’m new to MSR and this is my first post, so please bare with me 🙂
What I’m trying to do is have a global expression that contains the current time so I can use it in Global reactions as well as Rulesets as part of my syslog messages.
Example of what I’m experiencing:
In Expressions, create a global expression: gMyTOD = strftime("%T %D”)
In Rulesets, in a rule, create a local expression: MyTOD = strftime("%T %D”)In that same rule create a Notify type of Syslog.
Set syslog message to: gMyTOD time is ${{gMyTOD}} and MyTOD time is ${{MyTOD}}
Trigger the rule.The result is that the local expression (MyTOD) contains the correct time but the global expression (gMyTOD) does not update and reflects the wrong time in the final syslog message.
Is there a different approach I should be using?
Thank you in advance for any insight.

Hi!
What's the easiest and most effective way to make this work? Do I ping a few websites every ten minutes or so, or is there a better approch? If I'm going to ping, what URL is recommended?
Once a month or so, my internet access is lost, and I have to cut the power to the router, to restart it. When I'm away this become a problem, so I thought that if I got a zigbee switch (in Home Assistant), problem is solved. But how do I (MSR) know if it's offline?For information, I have a set up with Asus routers, Home Assistent with zigbee-, z-wave and wifi devices (a total of appr. 150) and every of my 60-70 automation is done by MSR.
I run MSR ver. 22080-ae7212f (docker on my Home Assistant blue). HA ver 2022.4.6.
Thanks in advance.
Take care, you all!
/Fanan -
I still have some code running on my Vera that I want to port and it's related to scene controllers.
I'm mostly using Fibaro's switch/roller shutter and on the Vera side I'm getting sl_CentralScene/sl_CentralSceneAttr, but it seems too fast to be intercepted by MSR.
What's anyone using? Thanks.
-
So, I have a rule set that it's triggered when a local variable changes. Since it's tied to my solar production, it could change very frequently, so I've just added a reset delay to calm it down, but it's not working as intended.
What I really need is a way to, let's say, define a percentage and define a variable to understand if the new value has changed +/- 10% before going true.
I've tried a couple of ways, but I'm posting here anyway, in case anyone has found a better way to tackle this. Thanks!
-
Perhaps a dumb question. Can I check from Home Assistant that MSR is up and running? I would like to see that in a status page in HA. I can of course ping the other Pi but it doesn't say anything about the MSR status.
-
@toggledbits Is there a way to get Current Alerts as an entity so I could monitor those and send notifications if needed.
My usecase is sometimes openLuup crashes and MSR picks that up pretty quick, sending a pushover notification to me would get my attention to restart it.
Of course there are many ways to monitor connectivity but since MSR already is doing that it would be neat to take advantage of it. -
Hey @toggledbits.
From the docs:You cannot control the state of rules via MQTT. Rule state is driven exclusively by the result of its conditions.
And I'm OK when rules are triggered by something else, but I've built a couple of rules to be used by other rules, to streamline the logic, and it'll be useful to invoke a rule via MQTT. It's probably close to what rule/:id/restart is doing in the HTTP api.
Thanks!
-
I'm trying to create some automation so I can control my pool variable speed pump from reactor rather than iAqualink (which sucks). My controller is MQTT enabled so I created several scripts for my desired speeds. (I know reactor has MQTT ability but honestly I read the docs and could not make much sense of it and since I already have it set up in Home Assistant, I figured I would just leverage that instead)
So I created all of my scripts and tested them, they worked perfectly. The I created a rule in reactor and set running the script as the action. The problem is that reactor is telling me that I have to make a selection. I try to click the dropdown and there is nothing to select. I cant save the rule, the only option is to exit.
9e0a3147-5058-4893-9860-2f0d759dfe3c-image.png
Here is my script in Home Assistant. Any advice on how to get this to work? If I am looking at this the wrong way I am open to suggestions (I would rather be able to call a specific action and specify a speed value but I cannot figure out how to do that). Thanks in advance.

Hi, I've been using msr for a while now and haven't had timezone issues until today when I updated to latest docker image (latest-22080-ae7212f)
both docker date command and my local date command show the same time, same timezone, but for some reason MSR shows the host time as 2 hours in the past as a result all my timed rules run 2 hours late.
my locale is set correctly in the host machine and is bound into the container as well.
One possible hint I get is maybe this from the container startup log, but other than timezone stuff everything else seems to be working fine and all my settings loaded up just fine.

Still unable to set Thermostat setpoint
-
Just to let you know that I've updated to version 21054, but the added basic support for generic thermostats still does not allow me to set the current setpoint for either my Horstmann Thermostat or the Auto Virtual Thermostat.
-
Well, AVT is a plugin and does not use the standard thermostat device in Vera, so that's expected. I don't know about the Horstmann thermostat.
To get some visibility into the Horstmann, please look in the Entities list to find the Reactor's device ID for it. Then go and edit your
reactor.yamlfile as follows:- Open
reactor.yamlin a text editor. - Find the controller configuration section for your Vera (the one containing
implementation: VeraController); - In the
configsection, append the following (other elements shown for context and to guide proper indentation):
controllers: - id: vera # your other vera controller keys are here config: source: http://whatever:3480 dump_entity: <----- add this line device_XXX: true <----- and this lineMake sure you only use spaces for indenting, not tabs, and that you indent exactly as shown (each next level indent is exactly two spaces from the parent level).
The restart Reactor. After it restarts, it will put a file called (for example)
vera-device_XXX.jsonin thelogssubdirectory. Please open a PR at Mantis if you haven't already, and then attach this file to the PR (you may need to ZIP it, or change its suffix to.txtto allow it to be uploaded).When that's done, you can just change the
truetofalsein the newreactor.yamlchanges, and leave them in place in case they are needed for another device later. - Open
-
I tried to reopen PR 0000041on Mantis , but I couldn't see how to attach the file, so have opened a new PR.
-
That's better. When a device class isn't supported, it will always be the case that exceptions come up. For the record/readers here, @jsimmo 's problem is that his device isn't a Vera thermostat, it's a Vera heater, different device type (although almost identical UI, so who would know?). So I now need to add Heater support as well.
