Beginning with the next Reactor release, there will be some dependency changes and new deprecations.
These apply to users on bare-metal installs only. If you are running Reactor in a docker container, the following does not apply to you — the container supplies its own dependencies and will be up-to-date.
All versions of nodejs prior to 18 are now end-of-life (no maintenance), so starting with the next Reactor build, they are deprecated for use with Reactor; they will continue to work until March 1 2024 (about 3 months from now), so you need to upgrade before that date. The recommended version of nodejs is 20, which is the current long-term support (LTS) version (EOL in mid-2026). Version 18 is the prior LTS version and still supported (by OpenJS Foundation and Reactor) until mid-2025, so it's a good fallback if you have issues getting version 20 running. As of this writing, the current 20 is 20.10.0, and the current 18 is 18.18.2. Both have been tested with Reactor 23302.
Now, nodejs version 20.9.0 seems to have dependencies that are not easily resolved on Raspberry Pi OS (formerly Raspbian) Buster (Debian 10). If you are using an RPi running Buster, you should select nodejs 18. That gives you until mid-2025 to upgrade both nodejs and the RPi OS to a more modern version (the current RPi OS is bookworm, Debian 12, 64-bit). The tools/rpi-install.sh script will be enhanced for the next build to try to discern what is reasonable for your system and make the appropriate upgrades; it is safe to run even on a current Reactor install.
If you are running an OS other than Raspberry Pi OS, try for nodejs 20, but use 18 as a fallback if you can't get it installed and running.
@togglebits I have another one for you.
HASS controller shows hvac_control.state="heating, cooling or idle".
ZWaveJSController controller shows hvac_control.state="heat, cool, or idle"
I believe hvac_control.state="heating, cooling or idle" should be what the ZWaveJSController should show.
"heat", "cool" or "off" are values assigned to the hvac_control.mode attribute.
Again, not sure if this is related to Reactor/ZwaveJSController implementation or the actual Z-Wave JS UI docker version. I have copied, below, the attributes of the thermostat in hopes it can help.
Thanks in advance.

Certain MSR updates are irrelevant for some users (e.g. only Hass related changes when you are not using one), so I was wondering if there could be a dismiss (firmware) feature similar to Hubitat?
Then when you'll use "dismiss", a blue checkmark would disappear until there's a new firmware.
Noticed that if I try to use a case statement, I'll have to have multiple when clauses, otherwise I'll get syntax error.
(I tried to include a screenshot, but got parse error from the forum...)
The following works:
case when condition == true: "This is true" when condition == false: "Now it is false" else "Something else" endBut this will end up with syntax error:
case when condition == true: "This is true" else "Something else" endUsing build 23242 on Docker
When doing something like curl -o - 'http://localhost:8111/api/v1/entity/ezlo>device_61baf509129e0725bd9f80e1/attribute/dimming.level' I get a response with current dimming level for example "0.6"
but curl -o - 'http://localhost:8111/api/v1/entity/ezlo>device_61baf509129e0725bd9f80e1/perform/dimming.set?level=0.8' sets the dimming level to 0.8 but gives no response which causes the connection to eventually timeout.
Doing it in a browser performs the action but leaves the tab with a spinning wheel of a loading page.
Is this expected behavior?
Edit: Solved in build 22142
Hi @toggledbits
Apparently, there have been some changes to the CallMeBot interface, as the service recently stopped working for me. I've tried several configurations, and none of the ones below are working.

Looking at the action log, I see that it starts, runs and finishes without any problems.

@togglebits I am curious as to why the tilt_sensor.state (primary) = NULL. I believe it should show true or false. I have to use binary_sensor.state instead in my rules.
Again, not sure if this is related to Reactor/ZwaveJSController implementation or the actual Z-Wave JS UI docker version. I have copied, below, the attributes of the tilt sensor in hopes it can help.
Thanks in advance.

I have just noticed that two of my z-wave switches, Inovelli LZW31 and Aeotec ZWA037, although responding correctly to commands such as (turning on the switch, changing LED color, etc.), are not displaying the right power_switch.state when turned ON. All other attributes are showing proper values.
Example when I turn on either switches,
In Home Assistant (hass), the power_switch.state = true while in ZWaveJSController (zwavejs), the power_switch.state = false.

Some background
I have two simple rules that will toggle my carport's down lights depending on outdoor brightness when I open the motorized sliding gate. I.e. if the brightness is 1500 lux or less and the gate is opened, the down lights will be switched on, and when the gate is closed, the lights will switch off after 3 minutes. Pretty simple 'coming home' functionality so to speak.
Here's the switch off rule showing the 'hard coded' thresholds
Screenshot from 2023-10-31 18-44-46.png
The problem
I would like to parameterize the lux and switch off delay using entities. I bet the lux threshold can be done with local expressions the same way I do my WC background music scheduling:
But the since I'm using the Condition must be sustained for functionality for the switch off rule, I have no idea how to parameterize that with some entity value.
So my question is that is it even possible to do this using entities or could there some other way to accomplish the same functionality? In this example it's the sustain -value but I might need same kind of parameterization for the delay reset also.
I have to go with entities, since my own HA system will provide the threshold values for the MSR through the MQTTController.
Help would be appreciated @toggledbits

So I have a strange one here and I don't know if there is a way to do this or not. I have blue iris triggering a vera virtual switch when AI detects motion on my front porch. Reactor then triggers the light, this works perfect. I want to shut the light off when there is no motion, this also works perfect. What I am having am issue with is when someone turns on the light manually I don't want it to turn off after motion is detected. Example: we are expecting a pizza so we turn on the porch light. 5 min later amazon delivers a package, trips motion. 10 min later Reactor is going to turn off the light. If I manually turn on the light before motion is detected I do not want reactor to turn it off. For the life of me I cannot figure the logic out. Does anyone have any ideas?
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.Hi @toggledbits
Is there any way that in the trigger the Varable Value could select the desired part of the array?
For example, I could have a global variable VarTEST$[Part1, Part2, Part3] like this: ${{ [TestText, 5, 3] }}. Use the Variable Value to validate a VarTEST[Part2] == 5 trigger.
What am I doing today? I've defined 3 global variables:
3ae76d20-ffce-4f66-9002-1b4d6cc7c3c3-image.png
And I validate each variable.
3bcc1d62-2ce1-41ca-9f00-f98578c0d597-image.png
In short, I would like to have a global variable of the array type, and be able to select which element of the array I would use for validation in a trigger.
Thanks
Hello all I am trying to run the service call browser_mod.popup from MSR to HA. If I enter the service data in YAML like this:
dismissable: true autoclose: false timeout: 120000 content: type: custom:mushroom-alarm-control-panel-card entity: alarm_control_panel.home_partition states: - armed_home - armed_away layout: vertical show_keypad: true target: device_id: e684ad00b76e330e57a8c915dc367bc4For some reason the target portion of the data isn't sent and therefor the popup shows up on all my browser mod devices not the only one I had specified in the device_id. Here is a snippet of the reactor log, no errors that I see just looks like the target info isn't being passed on.

I tried deleting all Entities associated with this device from MSR and then refreshing ZWaveJS in Home Assistant and restarting MSR - the Entities return but in the same state/s.
Admittedly, it's been a very long three weeks at work - I could have missed something obvious during setup but I sure can't figure what it is.
Hi @toggledbits
I'm trying to use OWM, apparently, I receive the correct information, but after a while, the MSR disconnects.
My configuration is as follows.

After a prolonged power cut, the UPS was unable to cope with the weather and shut down the entire system.
When I returned, I had the problem that the host time displayed in the browser and automatically used in the rules was not correct.
I searched for a topic here on this forum that talked about it, but it referred to a container installation. There was a recommendation to go into the storage/states directory and delete the files and restart MSR, I did it and it didn't solve the problem.
There was also a recommendation to go directly to the browser to check the time, and I did so and I see that the time is correct.

As you can see on the screen above:
MSR browser shows the correct browser time 21:23, but host time 13:02; In the browser below the direct query and the host time is correct 9:22:54 PM; Setting the VM date command on the third screen, the time is 9:23:00 PM.I've opened the entire reactor.log file and searched for any errors, and there aren't any.

Good afternoon,
I'm running my MSR instance on an old NAS server running Fedora 37 Server. This is an older Core i5-4690K server that has served me well overall, but it's showing it's age, and will often reboot into maint mode if it applies updates overnight. I've been trying to troubleshoot, but it's also in my office (makes my office hot), and I'm looking at getting either a QNAP or Syslogy rack mount NAS to replace it.
What I'm wondering is what the process would be to migrate my current MSR config and move it to a different platform. I have quite a large ruleset that I don't want to have to recreate. I know I can run it in a container on either platform, but I'm not sure how I would migrate all my rules over. Is there one config file that has all of the rules, or could I simply copy my /reactor directory over to a enw platform?
I am also considering moving the MSR instance to a stand alone RPI 4 with a SSD. This way, while I'm migrating all of my files off of my NAS, I'm not loosing Reactor's functionality until I have whichever rack mount NAS I go with up and running, with all of the data migrated.
Thoughts?
Setting Other State Variables on Vera / Hubitat
-
Q: Is it fair/accurate to say that MSR cannot directly set the "LoadLevelLast" attribute of a Z-Wave light switch (paired with Vera)?
Reason I'm asking is that I routinely use Luup-based Reactor to set that value (e.g. to "60") whenever the switch is turned OFF, which causes future ON commands to automatically dim the light to that value (in this case, "60"). Kind of a built-in brightness limiter.
Granted, insofar as "LoadLevelLast" is intended as a read-only, derived value -- not meant to be set directly by Reactor in the first place -- I know this sounds like a trick question. And admittedly, the manner in which Reactor has done this for me in the past was by executing a snippet of Luup code containing a [variable_set] command. But it has worked (in most cases I've applied it to).
Is there any way to replicate this functionality -- however ill-advised in the grand scheme of things -- with MSR?
-
There's an action in x_vera_device that will allow you to set a state variable on a device.
-
@toggledbits now that I have a Hubitat up and running (took some doing... phew!), I'm back to ask the same question about it, namely, "Is it possible to set LoadLevelLast - or the equivalent in the Hubitat environment - so that a dimmer will come on at the desired preset level (say 60%) next time?"
I've been using this technique with great success back on Vera, but do not see the matching action for Hubitat-attached devices in MSR.
Thoughts? Might this involve setting up virtual devices on Hubitat whose sole purpose is to mirror/pass LoadLevelLast values, perhaps? Trying to think inside the (new) box.
THANKS! - Libra
NOTES FOR THE CASUAL READER
◘ I don't want to establish a Basic Rule such as IF deviceX turns on THEN set deviceX to 60%, because that would override occasions when I instructed Alexa to "Dim Device X to 20%"◘ I am currently unable to get my first (and so far, only) wall dimmer switch in Hubitat to "Dim Device X to (any) percent". Alexa simply replies with, "Sorry, Device X is not responding." and nothing further happens. Whereas simple, "Turn on" and "Turn off" verbal commands work as expected, and back on the Hubitat itself all of Device X's array of test actions (on, off, dim, etc.) also work perfectly.
-
@librasun said in Setting Other State Variables on Vera / Hubitat:
I've been using this technique with great success back on Vera, but do not see the matching action for Hubitat-attached devices in MSR.
Setting state is not something Hubitat supports. Each hub has its own quirks, of course, and the quirky things we're used to doing for Vera aren't necessary, and often aren't even possible, on the other platforms.
-
Thanks, I kinda figured that's where things stood. I'm actually glad to think I may be leaving the old Vera hammer-over-head ways and entering a new realm. Speaking of which, I've had to start a couple of threads over on the Hubitat community regarding my Intermatic HA20C's reluctance to be dimmed (via Alexa) while under the Hubitat umbrella. That hub only responds to Turn On and Turn Off commands, whereas if I ask Alexa to "Dim to __%" she tells me "Device isn't responding."
Mercifully, some of the community members over there have taken this as a personal challenge and are trying to rectify. Will advise. I just doubt that such an old (2009) dimmer will be well-received by such a newfangled hub as the Hubitat.

Yup. But you have options. I'll probably keep the deepest of my legacy devices on Vera until they are ready for replacement, but that's only a handful at this point (will probably make maintaining a good mesh more challenging than I've had to deal with in a while). Bringing up HA on a Pi with a Z-stick is also an option, but I have my issues with HA's ZWave support that haven't changed (despite their change from OZW to ZWave-JS... it's not the library at fault, it's HA... stories for another thread).

I know you'd want to hear what the recommended solution (to the non-dimming on verbal command issue) was: Create a virtual dimmer, mirror its behavior (yes, Hubitat has an app for that, too!) back onto the physical switch, expose the new VS to Echo app, and voila! WORKS!! (Another member had blanket recommended introducing Z-Wave Poller -- yep, another app! -- for this single switch, which he suggests I keep in place.)
Of course, this doesn't directly address the original 'LoadLevelLast' aspect, but now thinking I'll just fiddle with their Basic Rules app to mimic that behavior. Amazing all the things you can accomplish on a Hubitat in 2 minutes that would take all day back in the Vera ecosystem.
UPDATE AND MEA CULPA: Oops, the whole "Device not responding" glitch was my fault. I had accidentally left the old copy of "Dining Room Light" in the list of Alexa's Smart Home > Devices. After removing it and re-running discovery (sans all the mirrored virtual switch rigging on Hubitat), the switch now behaves as expected thru voice commands, including Dim. How embarrassing!

Quick question. I am in process of moving from Vera to HA. I want to do something similar so I can keep my Homewave dashboard on the wall mounted ipad mini in the kitchen. Have created a virtual dimmer in switchboard and can capture the dimming level into a expression. How do I pass that to the physical dimmer switch I want to control? Have tried set_load_level_target to expression name but that doesn't work. Any hints?

"I tried X and it didn't work."
This needs to be a new topic, with a proper explanation of what you are trying to do, and showing the work of what you attempted. The problem likely is in the way to tried to solve the problem, but if you don't show your work, there's no way to figure that out.

If I had a nickel for every time I've done this or had conflicting rulesets...
Something you'll need to learn as you move away from Vera/Reactor and into Hubitat/MSR is that some of your base approaches to creating automations will change/need to change. I went thru it with my HVAC stuff as well as a few others.
It helps to literally grab a pencil (you remember those?) and map out your logic.
-
@gwp1 Do you happen to know whether MSR can "see" values of Global variables contained on the Hubitat hub? I haven't set any up yet (that's my next self-imposed exercise), but thinking ahead, it would be neat if MSR could react to changes in those.
-
@LibraSun Yes, Just add the Hub Variables to the Makers API app and restart MSR and they will be visible.
-
@sweetgenius Okay, that's the part I was mentally unclear about... the variables appear as "Devices" then (I even watched @bravenel assign a virtual device type to one in a tutorial video), which we can include with Maker? That opens things up very nicely, indeed.
UPDATE: Oops, I think I oversimplified things with that conjecture. I went and created a (thought it was Global - wrong!) variable in Rule Machine but see no reference to it anywhere in the Hubitat UI. So will await further education... Then went and rewound the same tutorial video and realized Bruce was working in a thing called Settings > Hub Variables. I'll go kick its tires and see what's what. <10 seconds later> Yep, that's the ticket. After creating a variable connector (which can then be made any subtype of connector), it appears in Devices, ready to ship to Maker API. NEAT!
