Advice reqeusted to migrate MSR from Bare Metal to Container
T
Good day all, I'm in the process of trying to shut down my 10 year old Linux home server that served many purposes, but primarily it's what I used for my NAS/Plex Media server. I migrated the NAS aspect of the server in November of last year to a true NAS solution (Ubiquti UNAS Pro), which is rack mount and much more efficient than my old tower, which it's only side benefit was heating my home office during the winter. Unfortunately it also means heating my home office during the summer, which were about to be in full swing. I have two things running on this 10 year old server at this point. MSR and pi-hole. I'm running Plex Media Server on Fedora Workstation in Podman on mini PC, which is much more energy efficient than my old tower. My next step is to migrate MSR. I know there are images of MSR out there, and creating it is well documented. I'm going to be using Podman instead of Docker for various reasons, but they work very similar. What I don't know, is what I need to do to migrate my existing Bare Metal installation over to a container. Has anyone done this? Any advice?

Reactor (Multi-System/Multi-Hub) Announcements
toggledbitsT
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.

Organizing/ structuring rule sets and rules
R
Hi guys, Just wondering how you guys organize your rule sets and rules. I wish I had an extra layer to have some more granularity, but my feature request was not popular. Maybe there are better ways to organize my rule sets. I use the rule sets now primarily for rooms. So a rule set per room. But maybe grouping by functionality works better. Any examples/ suggestions would be appreciated.

I have the following yaml configuration in local_mqtt_devices file x_mqtt_device: set_speed: arguments: speed: type: str topic: "command/%friendly_name%" payload: type: json expr: '{ "fan": parameters.speed }' While this works fine, I'm wondering how this could be changed to "fixed" parameters, as in this case "fan" only accepts "A", "Q" or a numeric value of 1-5?

System Configuration Check - time is offset

Hi! I get this message when I'm on the status tab: System Configuration Check The time on this system and on the Reactor host are significantly different. This may be due to incorrect system configuration on either or both. Please check the configuration of both systems. The host reports 2025-04-01T15:29:29.252Z; browser reports 2025-04-01T15:29:40.528Z; difference 11.276 seconds. I have MSR installed as a docker on my Home Assistant Blue / Hardkernel ODROID-N2/N2+.

Programmatically capture HTTP Request action status code or error
therealdbT
I have a very strange situation, where if InfluxDB restarts, other containers may fail when restarting at the same time (under not easy to understand circumstances), and InfluxDB remains unreachable (and these containers crashes). I need to reboot these containers in an exact order, after rebooting InfluxDB. While I understand what's going on, I need a way to reliable determine that InfluxDB is not reachable and these containers are not reachable, in order to identify this situation and manually check what's going on - and, maybe, in the future, automatically restart them if needed. So, I was looking at HTTP Request action, but I need to capture the HTTP response code, instead of the response (becase if ping is OK, InfluxDB will reply with a 204), and, potentially, a way to programmatically detect that it's failing to get the response. While I could write a custom HTTP controller for this or a custom HTTP virtual device, I was wondering if this is somewhat on you roadmap @toggledbits Thanks!

ZwaveJSUI - RGBWW BULB - Warm/Cold White interfered with RGB settings - Bulb doesn't change color if in WarmWhite state.
N
Hi , I'm on -Reactor (Multi-hub) latest-25067-62e21a2d -Docker on Synology NAS -ZWaveJSUI 9.31.0.6c80945 Problem with ZwaveJSUI: When I try to change color to a bulb RGBWW, it doesn't change to the RGB color and the bulb remains warm or cold white. I tryed with Zipato RGBW Bulb V2 RGBWE2, Hank Bulb HKZW-RGB01, Aentec 6 A-ZWA002, so seems that it happens with all RGBWW bulb with reactor/zwavejsui. I'm using from reator the entity action: "rgb_color.set" and "rgb_color.set_rgb". After I send the reactor command, It changes in zwavejsui the rgb settings but doesn't put the white channel to "0", so the prevalent channel remains warm/cold White and the bulb doesn't change into the rgb color. This is the status of the bulb in zwavejsui after "rgb_color.set" (235,33,33,) and the bulb is still warmWhite. x_zwave_values.Color_Switch_currentColor={"warmWhite":204,"coldWhite":0,"red":235,"green":33,"blue":33} The "cold white" and "warm white" settings interfer with the rgb color settings. Reactor can change bulb colors with rgb_color set — (value, ui8, 0x000000 to 0xffffff) or rgb_color set_rgb — (red, green, blue, all ui1, 0 to 255) but if warm or cold white are not to "0", zwavejsui doesn't change them and I can't find a way to change into rgb or from rgb back to warm white. So if I use from reactor: rgb_color set_rgb — (235,33,33) in zwavejsui I have x_zwave_values.Color_Switch_targetColor={"red":235,"green":33,"blue":33} 14/03/2025, 16:43:57 - value updated Arg 0: └─commandClassName: Color Switch └─commandClass: 51 └─property: targetColor └─endpoint: 0 └─newValue └──red: 235 └──green: 33 └──blue: 33 └─prevValue └──red: 235 └──green: 33 └──blue: 33 └─propertyName: targetColor 14/03/2025, 16:43:57 - value updated Arg 0: └─commandClassName: Color Switch └─commandClass: 51 └─property: currentColor └─endpoint: 0 └─newValue └──warmWhite: 204 └──coldWhite: 0 └──red: 235 └──green: 33 └──blue: 33 └─prevValue └──warmWhite: 204 └──coldWhite: 0 └──red: 235 └──green: 33 └──blue: 33 └─propertyName: currentColor In zwavejsui, the bulb changes rgb set but warm White remains to "204" and the bulb remais on warm White channel bacause is prevalent on rgb set. x_zwave_values.Color_Switch_currentColor_0=204 x_zwave_values.Color_Switch_currentColor_1=0 x_zwave_values.Color_Switch_currentColor_2=235 x_zwave_values.Color_Switch_currentColor_3=33 x_zwave_values.Color_Switch_currentColor_4=33 Is it possible to targetColor also for "warmWhite" and "coldWhite" and have something similar to this? x_zwave_values.Color_Switch_targetColor={"warmWhite":0,"coldWhite":0,"red":235,"green":33,"blue":33} Thanks in advance.

Problem after upgrading to 25067
R
MSR had been running fine, but I decided to follow the message to upgrade to 25067. Since the upgrade, I have received the message "Controller "<name>" (HubitatController hubitat2) could not be loaded at startup. Its ID is not unique." MSR throws the message on every restart. Has anyone else encountered this problem? I am running MSR on a Raspberry Pi4 connecting to two Hubitat units over an OpenVPN tunnel. One C8 and a C8 Pro. Both are up-to-date. It appears that despite the error message that MSR may be operating properly.

I am getting a Runtime error on different browsers when I click exit when editing an existing or creating a new global reaction containing a group. If the global reaction does not have a group I don't get an error. I see a similar post on the forum about a Runtime Error when creating reactions but started a new thread as that appears to be solved. The Runtime Error is different in the two browsers Safari v18.3 @http://192.168.10.21:8111/reactor/en-US/lib/js/reaction-list.js:171:44 You may report this error, but do not screen shot it.

I am trying to delete a global expression (gLightDelay) but for some strange reason, it comes back despite clicking the Delete this expression and Save Changes buttons. I have not created a global expression for some times and just noticed this while doing some clean-up. I have upgraded Reactor to 25067 from 25060 and the behaviour is still there.

Local notification methods?
CatmanV2C
Morning, experts. Hard on learning about the internet check script in MSR tools, I was wondering what suggestions anyone has about a local (i.e. non-internet dependent) notification method. This was prompted by yesterday's fun and games with my ISP. I've got the script Cronned and working properly but short of flashing a light on and off, I'm struggling to think of a way of alerting me (ideally to my phone) I guess I could set up a Discord server at home, but that feels like overkill for a rare occasion. Any other suggestions? TIA C

    Hi

    I'm stuck migrating one of my PLEG conditions.

    tFrontDoorOpened;NOW>1:00

    Which means the trigger "Front Door Opened" happened more than 1 minute ago.

    How do I do this in MSR ? An expression I assume ?

    I want to use it as part of a Constraint.

    Any help please.

    Thanks.

      If you use sustain for 60 seconds, then the sensor would need to be tripped for a minute before going true.

        I'm not sure that will work for what I am trying to setup.

        In fact I don't think I can even replicate the set of conditions I had setup in PLEG for this same rule.

        Let me back up and start again, as I am sure there will be a better way of doing this.

        Doorbell Camera Motion detected is the trigger for this rule.

        The actions "Set Reaction" is to do some TTS and bring up the camera feed on some tablets / TVs etc.

        The conditions "Constraints" I only want this rule to run its actions, If the front door hasn't been recently opened or closed for that matter.

        e.g. when I come back in to the house and open / close the door to get in, I don't want this rule to run.

        But if I am already in the house and its someone else outside mooching about near the doorbell cam, then I do want the rule to run its actions.

          @cw-kid Try this:

          60049cbf-261c-47aa-8bc5-6f53a96b2be7-image.png

          Ignore my device names. They should be at least close enough to express the relationships.

          The trigger is the motion sensor. Easy enough.

          The constraints have been set to NOT AND, which inverts the output of its logic. The only condition in the constraints is a check to see if the door sensor has changed state, and it delays reset for 60 seconds. When the door changes state to either open or closed, the changes operator will start the 60-second clock and be true that entire period, which means the Constraints will be false (because of the not). When the time expires, the condition will go false, which means the Constraint group is then true, and reactions can run.

          In English: run the reactions when the motions sensor trips and the door hasn't changed state in the last 60 seconds.

              No worries. FYI, watch out for a small UI bug (fixing, of course): if you edit an existing condition with the changes operator in it, it will put "null" in the operands where they were previously blank before, and when you save that, the condition will stop working. Will fix for today's build, but be on the lookout. Just blank those fields back out before saving. You don't care what the change is (open to close or close to open isn't relevant -- it's either).

                OK this is what I've got. I also added a check for a virtual switch in the constraints, hope that works.

                I haven't tested anything yet.

                  You don't have the delay reset on, it appears (the three dots would appear yellow if you did).

                  And you're bringing in a group and another device, so that changes the logic. You didn't mention that before, so you need to work it into the logic correctly given that the entire Constraints group is now inverted (false means true and true means false). Have you accounted for that in the test of the switch state? And... why wrapped in a group? Are you going to add more conditions there?

                    I've changed the constraints to this:

                    82240050-fbb2-46b0-ac63-5d3f27950ec4-image.png

                    8518f9b9-d74a-4c91-bd14-c0bb3876b104-image.png

                    I think this is working. If in Vera I trip the front door opened then closed and then trip the doorbell camera motion sensor, the rules reaction is not run as expected.

                    If I wait over the 60 seconds and trip the doorbell camera motion sensor again, then the rules reaction does run as expected.

                    I need to test it actually approaching the front door from outside and really opening / closing it, to then hear if it does the TTS announcement or not, that is in the reaction. I shouldn't hear the TTS if I have just changed the doors state etc.

                      Another thing that's been annoying, is when my garden lights via a schedule turn on or off in the back garden, the Hikvision IP camera triggers motion being detected as a result.

                      I could maybe use this method to stop that happening and stop MSR running the actions "Set Reaction", by checking that the state of the lights hasn't changed within the last X seconds.

                      Seems to be working, checking if the patio door has changed state in the last 60 seconds OR if the Festoon Lights in the garden have changed state in the last 10 seconds.
