    • MSR No longer Setting Reactions

      T

      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?

    • MSR Telegram Messages Stopped Working

      T

      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:

      If I use the following in my web browser the telegram message gets through:

      https://api.telegram.org/botxxxxx......./sendMessage?chat_id=xxxxx......&text=Test Message HTTPS

      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?

    • SSL Certificate for Multi System Reactor via LetsEncrypt

      Details of runtime environment:

      Reactor (Multi-hub) stable-22055-9b40e12 Running as a service on Windows Server 2022 Std 21H2 Connecting to HASS (HASSOS) Is a migration WIP from OpenLuup/Reactor

      A complete description of your objective:

      Using LetsEncrypt, application "certifyTheWeb", retrieve and apply SSL certificate to Multi System Reactor

      A description of your approach/solution/implementation so far:

      Reviewed Config files, can't seen mention of certificate files in there

      Actual 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.

    • MSR ZEN32 weird behavior

      R

      @toggledbits
      Hi Patrick,
      Running HASS 2022.5.3
      MSR zwavejs-22126-834c3e9

      Seeing 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.JPG

      In 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.

    • HASS 2022.5 issue with ZwaveJS in MSR

      R

      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 192.168.0.16:3000

      Are there additional steps needed that are not mentioned in the manual?
      At a loss to figure out what is causing issue.

    • Global Expression – Reference Error

      wmarcolin

      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 == true

      I 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.

    • 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.

    • Build 22118 - entity updates

      G

      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!

    • [Solved] Is there a cap or max number of devices a Global Reaction should not exceed?

      G

      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 MSR

      I 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.

    • [Solved] Which version of npm should we be running for reactor-latest-22118-0f0772c.tar.gz

      G

      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?

    • Is a global timestamp expression possible ?

      B

      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.

    • Restart router when it's gone offline?

      F

      Hi!
      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?

      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?

      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!

    • MSR for Scene Controllers

      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.

    • Best strategy to get the difference between pulses in MSR

      therealdb

      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.

    • Notifications from Alerts

      Crille

      @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.

    • Invocable rules via MQTT

      therealdb

      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!

    • Home Assistant Script, Reaction requires seclection that isnt there

      S

      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.

    • Installed latest MSR container and host time is wrong

      M

      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.

      @toggledbits I followed to the letter your excellent step-by-step guide on launching a Docker container from the image I fetched from PR #58 this morning.

      All proceeded swimmingly – folder creation, image upload, settings & parameters, etc. – until the moment of actual Launch.

      Whereupon, Docker threw up the following on-screen "Stopped Unexpectedly" warning (which repeated every 30 seconds or so until I Stop'ped the container from running/restarting):
      docker_msr_stopped.png

      Concurrently, every attempt to access http://<mySynNAS_IP>:8111/ resulted in a "This site can't be reached" error page in Chrome (under Windows, mind you).

      Immediately, I took the liberty of inspecting and Export'ing the logfile (Container ► Details ► Log) as an HTML file, which I attach below (oops, no attachment feature in this forum, so here is the direct link) for your inspection.

      Hope you find some clues, because I'm not at all sure where things went wrong. (The only facet of setup where I expressly deviated from your typed notes involved creating a "Shared" (i.e. top-level, rather than under /home) folder called "Reactor" with r/w access, under which I created a subfolder named "Data", to which I pointed /var/reactor during container creation.)

      Excellent write-up and thanks for the chance to test this out!!

      FOLLOW-UP NOTES
      I do see where Container ► Edit ► Environment ► variable PATH has a value of "/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin" which strikes me as odd, but maybe that's normal nomenclature? (By contract, Windows and DOS always use semicolons, not colons, to separate PATH variable entries.)

      RESOLVED
      Noting that the Log displayed an error message related to /var/reactor/config, I went and created a folder named 'config' (all lowercase) under the NAS's top-level Reactor\Data folder, then restarted the container. It's running fine now, and I'm able to access the :8111 interface for the first time.
      Log ► "Configuration path: /var/reactor/config resolved /var/reactor/config"

      SUGGEST
      Please add explicit declaration in your How-To regarding the need for a /config underneath the data folder.

        If someone smarter than me wishes to volunteer a simple write-up on the exact steps required to get MSR up and running on my Synology NAS (with Docker installed and active), I'd be delighted to give it a try. I realize a dedicated Docker-ized version of MSR is perhaps ideal -- and I'm happy to wait for that to manifest -- but if, in the meantime, someone out there can propose a build-your-own solution with minimal footprint, I'm game.

        Unspoken here is how much I cringe when dealing with anything Linux, because for me it's like reading Chinese. But I can follow written instructions very well and provide meticulous feedback. 😉 So thanks in advance...

          I don't have any docker containers yet. The bug list is looking pretty quiet for things urgent at the moment, so maybe I'll spend an hour or two seeing what I can get built. I also have a Synology NAS, so I have a ready test platform. The image/container itself is easy, but I'm still figuring out the correct (Synology) way to do the volumes (or bind mounts, whatever they use) for the config and data.

            I would encourage you to open a new thread? I will fork it if you don't mind.

              Concur, and let's get @toggledbits ' earlier Docker-related notes copied into this thread as well. Dunno if they were higher up in the "MSR Available" thread?

                Hopefully not about to ask the world's dumbest question, but here goes...

                I'm stumped at Step 1 of the "Getting Started" docs (https://reactor.toggledbits.com/docs/Getting-Started/), since I'm unable to locate the referenced reactor.yaml file.

                The only files I see under my <reactor-data>/config folder are:
                all-json.out (2 bytes)
                all-yaml.out (3 bytes)

                IMPORTANT NOTE: I'm running MSR under Docker on my Synology NAS, but I believe it behaves identically in all respects to bare metal (Linux) installs. I'm wondering if it's possible that the desired YAML file exists within the distributed image, but is not being exposed yet by the container running MSR.

                Will not proceed until advised by someone more knowledgeable. Until then, I have no "Hub/HA" defined, so cannot do anything, really, with MSR. (Makes me kinda wish these settings lived within MSR's panels and not a YAML file, LOL!)

                Thanks - Libra

                  The docker container is slightly different in that the data folder does not live within the container, it lives on a volume that the container mounts separately. This is so that the container can read and write data as needed and it is not destroyed when the image or container is replaced (e.g. you would otherwise lose your config and all your rules and reactions), and so you can edit your config without having to breach the walls of the container.

                  The install steps for the docker container has a step for you to create a directory that would become this volume. To confirm you are looking in the right place, open Docker via the package manager. Go to Container, then click the Reactor container. Hit the Details button, and then the Volume tab. The line that shows the mount path "/var/reactor" is the place where your config and data are stored (not /var/reactor, the path to the left of that under File/Folder. So check that to make sure you are looking in the right place. You should see config, logs and storage at a minimum, and possibly also local and sys.

                    @toggledbits said in Multi-System Reactor Developer Preview AVAILABLE:

                    You should see config, logs and storage at a minimum, and possibly also local and sys

                    In that folder (which in my case happens to be Reactor/Data, I only see the following subfolders:
                    config
                    storage

                        OK, then somehow the initial data didn't get copied. If you haven't already, open a PR for that on Mantis, and I'll post the two files so you can put them into the folder yourself, and I'll hunt down why it didn't copy them in the first place.

                                    No job too big or too small. If it needs to get done, I'm happy to do it.

                                      Strictly FYI, I've gone ahead and installed NODE.JS v12 on my Synology NAS in anticipation of attempting the Reactor backup conversion to MSR Rulesets. In my Linux-challenged mind, that's a step in the right direction. Next, I'll need to (re-)learn how to SSH into the NAS for executing Terminal commands. Will let you know if this gets me further along that trajectory.

                                      EDIT: Nope, I was clearly jumping the gun. Will have to take another tack.

                                        I've also rolled 21062 (today's daily build) into a docker container for Synology. Link is in PR #58 on the bug tracker.
