Hi,
For years I have been using a rule that uses motion detection to maintain or turn on a light. For a while now, I noticed a significant delay (20 to 30 sec.) between the motion detection and the light coming on.
Here is my setup:
I am running the docker Home assistant 2023.11.3 and MSR 23302 on a Raspberry Pi 4 with raspian 64 bit. Motion sensor are coming from my DSC alarm panel via the HA Envisalink integration. The lights switch are zwave and are handled by HA via zwave-JS-UI.
I am not a software developper nor a specialist but here is, based on the log files of HA, MSR and zwavejs, the sequence of event as I understand it, on Nov 28 :
03:41:48 Home assistant sensor detect the motion. (from HA sensor log)
03:41:48 Reactor log report the "Living Rule Light On Set"
03:42:18 Both the zwavejsui and zwavejs logs show the light activation requests/commands
This is a delay of a little more than 30 ses between time that MSR activate the rule and zwavejs receive the request to turn on the light.
When I look at the detailed MSR logs, I can see that there is some time between the initial rule activation and its completion that correspond to the time line above. Again, without understanding everyting, the delay seemed to be coming from MSR (Or my rules/configuration). Here's the MSR Log:
Here are the 2 Rules that control the light:
Living Room Light On

Living Room Light Off

This is not a major issue but it is a change from the initial behaviur I was having.
Thanks in advance
Hello all, I recently installed a Zooz ZEN 32 scene controller and was looking for some guidance on how I could use a button press as a trigger in MSR. The scene controller has a total of 5 buttons that can activate scenes based on single press, double press, triple till 5 presses and also a press and hold. Currently in MSR I see an entity for the scene controller itself and separate entities for each button.
Using the MSR native Z wave controller I can see the button.state (shows if it was pressed single double...) and button.since which shows the last time the button was pressed. The issue with the button.state is that say I press the scene controller button once its state is single but it never "resets" it's state will remain single. So if I press the button again the trigger won't work (pulse action won't work here because the state never changes).
Going through HA similar issue but instead the x_hass.state is used and the number pertains to how many presses 0 means one press, 3 means 2 presses and so on. But again the x_hass.state never resets to an "off" state so retriggering the rule will not work if you press the button again.
Before I tackle this in other ways using separate rules, input booleans and expressions is there any other way I can go about this? To me I need to trigger that is something like button_pressed.single but I don't see that option.
No logs since there is technically no issues and no real examples since I am stuck at the triggers part lol.

Z Wave 0.1.23194
HA 2023.11.2
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?

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:

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 installed a new iblind this evening and it is appearing in ZWaveJS. It is operational thru Home Assistant just fine. It is operational thru the HA ZwaveJS plugin just fine.
Where it is non-responsive is in MSR for some reason. The entities are there. Adding the node to a Reaction and then attempting to run said Reaction nets me this:

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.

Reactor logic talk
-
I think most who play with automation logic comes to a point where the most logical (pun) solution evades us - this thread is for helping eachother making good logic.
My issue of the day:
I have a "night light" reactor that is supposed to turn on a very low level of lighting (navigation light) in the living room if there is movement when all lights are off.
I want it to turn it on for 30 seconds, then off.
Right now it senses on Motion Sensor, daylight(to see if its nessecary), and that all lights are off.
it then turns on some lights, then a Delay for 30 seconds, then turn off.
When however my wife wakes up early, walks in and trips the sensor, and then turns on all the lights, the reactor is already in the delay phase, and subsequently turns off the lights. (WAF killer)
I didn't want to use the Delay in the action, but i couldn't find a way to detect "x have been active for 30 seconds" or similar to keep it on?
(i'm still in openLuup Reactor on this one, but i think the problem is common for both)
-
My immediate reaction (if you'll pardon that pun!) is to notice that you have two competing Triggers:
Tripped == 1
and
Tripped (changes) (any) to (any)Naturally, that pair will ONLY become true when Tripped == 1 immediately after == 0. Hence, you may as well not have the 2nd trigger.
There's more to say, but wanted to lead with that basic fact. -
My gut tells me you might want to put something in the isFALSE Activity of your Reactor, which will automatically terminate the isTRUE one. When your wife turns on a light, we know that makes the Trigger section become FALSE (because now NOT "All the lights are off"). In which case you don't want the remainder of your isTRUE section to execute.
Having one or more actions in the isFALSE should accomplish this.
-
hmm.. but if I have "turn off night lights" in the IsFALSE, and the light is manually turned on (in day mode - more light) after this condition is True and night light is on, it will turn them back off immediately..
A bit difficult to explain properly, but in essence i need a way to interrupt this automation on manual input..
-
No, don't put any of your "Turn off" actions in the isFALSE. Put something else (a Comment may even suffice?), anything that won't impact this workflow negatively. So long as isFALSE is non-empty, it will behave as I've described above... effectively truncating the isTRUE Activity the moment the Reactor's AND group goes false (e.g. when wife turns on any light).
-
Generally, using delays in activities isn't going to get you where you are going, I find.
Most people want the lights to go on when motion is sensed, but to remain on until motion has not been sensed for some period of time. That's a two-part problem that you can solve in one step in Reactor.
Let's ignore the time of day component and just focus on the motion for a moment. If you just have a condition to check if the motion sensor is tripped, it will be true when the sensor signals tripped, and reset to false when the motion sensor untrips. So it's pretty clear, you can use that true edge to turn on the lights. The way you get the delay for the off is by using a "delay reset" option on the condition. The delay reset option lets you hold the condition in true state for a period of time after the underlying test has gone false. If you set the reset delay to the amount of time you want the lights to be on in response to motion, and have the false activity turn the light off, then the light will go on when the motion sensor trips, and then at some point after the motion sensor untrips, the delay will kick in and leave the lights alone until the delay expires, and at that point, the condition goes false, the false activity runs (or reset reaction in MSR) and the light goes out. An additional effect of the delay reset option is that if there are several tripped-untripped transitions from the motion sensor during the delay period, indicating someone is still moving about in the sensor's path, the delay is extended, so it's a convenient way to make sure the lights don't just blindly go off after 30 seconds while someone is still standing in the room.
To get the time of day restriction, depends on whether you are doing it in Reactor for Luup (which seems to be what's in the screenshots), or MSR (this category).
- For Reactor for Luup: I would wrap the motion condition in a group, then add the date/time condition as a sibling to the group. Then open condition options for the group, and set the "Condition must occur after" to the date/time condition.
- For MSR: The motion sensor condition and option goes into Triggers, and the date/time condition goes into Constraints (no option needed).
Here's what that looks like in Reactor for Luup:
Note the above screen shot is showing the condition options for the group containing the motion sensor condition. The motion sensor condition itself is not shown because the options are open for display/edit.
-
Having good logic sometimes depend on wether what you want to do is smart.
This may be one where i save myself some hassle by just delaying from untrip, as suggested. Thanks.Didn't know that an the False action would interfere with/stop the execution of True group, is that a fact in MSR as well?
I took the liberty to discuss the old reactor in this forum, as i'm suspended from the forum for that one.
This thread is however for reactor logic in general, but i realise there may be different approaches in the two..
-
Yes, same in both. The reason is this: if you have the set reaction do something, often the reset reaction is used to undo it. Having both running at the same time, which could happen otherwise, may lead to undesirable effects.
On Reactor for Luup, you can add a separate group and check to see if your main logic group is false, and if so, run its activities. Since these actions are in a separate group, they are not pre-empted.
In MSR, you make a rule to see if the main rule is false, and have its reaction do what it needs to. Same effect.
-
-
Yeah, that double-trigger probably stems from a misunderstanding of how Reactor works. Reactor acts on changes, not states. So if you have a trigger that checks temperature >= 50, and it goes 49... 50... 51... it will of course go true at 50, and that's when action happens, because the trigger state changes from false to true at that point, but when the temperature goes from 50 to 51, the result of the test is still as true at 51 as it was at 50, so that's no change in state, so no action.
-
I've now taken this one over to MSR, and one part of the problem is still not solved. The Constraints i have is not time of day, its wether someone turned the lights on in the room. This may happen when the motion trigger have been set, and that means that it will turn the lights off at reset, which at this point have been turned on to stay on..
I think i may have to go back to having the actions in the "set" category, with the delay, in order to be able to intervene the "reset" of the motion sensor state?
One other option is to have another rule for "night light Off", and evaluate Off separately..
-
I would choose opposing rules over delays. I think the topic of handling "manual on" is well-covered in the other forums. The gist is that you can do a little work with an expression variable to track whether the light is being turned on because the switch itself is changing state when there's no motion detection (manual mode), or if motion is detected when the switch is off (automatic mode).
It does have a caveat though: there's little chance of consistent success if the switch used to turn the lights on manually is in the detection area of the motion sensor, as this usually means the motion sensor sees you before you get to the switch, so the automatic on is already happening before you touch it.
-
It works well now with separate rules for on and off, where "OFF" has the same constraints as "ON", and "OFF" has "ON"-rule changes to false as trigger.
Now, the autolight (which turns on a very low dimming level) turn on, and if someone manually turns the light on at this point, the light goes to the dimming level chosen.
(In this case its not the switch connected to one light that is pressed, its a virtual switch that turns on multiple lights.) -
