I still use Vera controllers in combination with ReactorSensors. I have several Reactor sensors in use to retrieve weather data from Wunderground (i have a personal weather station), my smartmeter etc.
Recently I installed solar panels with a SolarEdge inverter. SolarEdge has an API to retrieve my power production data from their cloud.
Output is in json.
So I created a new Reactor Sensor. Connection is working (query okay).
But I encounter problems at the Value Expressions. Either I get ""query okay" but no data or I get "query okay but 1 expressions failed"
This is the json output
{"overview":{"lastUpdateTime":"2023-05-12 10:45:57","lifeTimeData":{"energy":476310.0,"revenue":216.577},"lastYearData":{"energy":433001.0},"lastMonthData":{"energy":433001.0},"lastDayData":{"energy":8262.0},"currentPower":{"power":5647.0},"measuredBy":"INVERTER"}}So it has different layers/levels.
I tried to put in the Value Expressions field several combinations to get the energy data of today (8262.0), like:
response.lastDayData.energy
response.overview.lastDayData.energy
response.overview.lastUpdateTime.lastDayData.energy
all fail...
Who can help me with this ?
Home Automation means you have to have a way of describing the logical steps you want your home to implement automatically.
Whilst I've always been a fan of the Lua language, as used in Vera (and openLuup) for scenes and plugins, it's perhaps not ideal. For this reason, there has been a long development history of plugins with their own "language" to help define the automation logic: PLEG (for those with a long memory), AltUI workflows, Rules Engine, Reactor, MSR, ...
It's always seemed to me that the 'best' way of describing logic would be a language designed for that purpose – a "logic programming language". Perhaps one of the most famous, and venerable, is Prolog, which had its fiftieth birthday last year in 2022.
Thanks to some relatively recent research A Hitchhiker’s Guide to Reinventing a Prolog Machine, Paul Tarau (2017) it's become possible to implement a very efficient Prolog engine in a reasonably concise way. So, just for fun, I'm developing a CGI plugin for describing openLuup actions in Prolog.
I have an early prototype running (written in Lua, of course). It presents a web page which looks like a fairly typical Interactive Development Environment (IDE) and contains some primitives which allow basic access to the Luup engine.

In a subsequent post, I'll give a glimpse of its capabilities...
I have the following issue: In my Vera, I have created a dimmer using the Switchboard plugin. I want this light always turn on at 100% brightness when turn the light on. By default, the dimmer remembers its last used setting. I have created the following scene: when the light is turned off, the LoadLevelLast should be 100.

Manually, this works through the test Luup code (Lua), but not through the scene's action by execute the following Luup code.
I also tried in MSR, but no result
Does anyone know the solution to this?
Just seen notification to Netatmo developers that the current password-based login is being disabled as from October.
Oath2 is now a requirement for apps needing access to Netatmo. This will require some changes to my venerable plug-in. I’m not sure how easy this will be with the current libraries in use.
Does anyone out there use the Netatmo plug-in?
Does anyone have any advice on using Oath2?
Hardly a big deal, and likely user error. Bare metal install on Debian Bullseye
Observed behaviour:
TTS announcements are made with the correct volume. So a message to group 'Everywhere' with Volume 40 is announced. Asking an individual echo device to state its volume after the announcement gets the response 'This device is at volume 4'
So far so good.
Using the:
x_vera_svc_bochicchio_com_VeraAlexa1.SetVolumeIn an MSR reaction appears to have no impact when either applied to the group 'Everywhere' or a specific device.
So executing this reaction:

Is acknowledged by the device (with a 'beep') and shows the Lua Log below:

I assume I'm doing something wrong or not understanding how this is meant to work?
One other observation is that messages announce to the 'Everywhere' group appear to make the volume 'stick' where as messages to an individual device appear to revert to the previous volume setting.
My expectation would be analagous to a radio i.e. the volume stays as it was last set, but happy to be corrected.
TIA!

Anyone else seeing issues with Vera TTS? All was working fine. I assumed the cookie had expired, but even having replaced it, and seeing that the .alexa.login file is aging (as I'd expect) No speech.
I seem to be getting an odd timeout but no idea from where.

Hello, I'm looking for a way to create a script/executable file I can launch from my Loupedeck controller that will trigger outlets on a Zwave power strip. Can anyone point me to some info on how to do this?
I'm using a VeraPlus controller
Thanks
I use the excellent SiteSensor plugin of @toggledbits for some years to get the data from my PWS on Wunderground.
This has worked flawlessly but recently it suddenly stopped working.
I see this in my Vera:
6899a8b1-ad67-430a-9dc8-f1da42b04b62-image.png
When I copy/paste the URL code to be queried in my browser this still works.
This is the URL:
https://api.weather.com/v2/pws/observations/current?stationId=ILIMBURG130&format=json&units=m&numericPrecision=decimal&apiKey=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Patrick (or someone else on this forum) can you help me solve this ?
Many thanks in advance!
Virtual HTTP Devices plug-in:
I wanted to try this out. Installed the plugin and created one device, which came up as a light bulb. So far so good. In AltUI I clicked on the On/Off slider on the page. The log shows that the Target is set to one. Likewise for the Variable list in AltUI. However the Status never gets set to one and the light bulb icon doesn't go yellow.
In some plugins you set the Target and then the plugin checks the physical device actually went on by checking an actual status report from the device, which can be used to set the variable Status.
In other cases a plugin will send a message to the physical device but that device will have no status feedback mechanism available. So the Status variable has to be set locally when the Target is set and everybody hopes the physical device all worked.
Not to sure what Virtual HTTP Devices plug-in does in this regard? Does the above go in anyway to explaining what I'm seeing? Is the plugin looking for status feedback?
I have a couple of issue with Openluup ATM. I'm going to work through them in the order that they appeared if that's OK 🙂
OpenLuup on bare metal (Debian Bullseye) running Z-way server and Z-wave.me

I've been trying to figure out Reactor but I'm not very good at programming.
I have two scenes in VERA.
One scene should only run during the DAY and then stop running.
One scene should only run during the NIGHT and then stop running.
My scenes start off at the right times, but they do not turn off. I created a Sunrise/Sunset Reactor trigger and added it as a condition to each of my scenes.
However, the Reactor trigger when tripping or untripping does not prevent my Vera scenes from running. It will start them correctly the first day, but after that, both scene stay running and fight with each other. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks for any help!
If you are interested, here are the actions I wish to perform with each scene.
FARM STAND - DAY (runs at Sunrise)
Turn ON a device called LETTUCE LAMP2a) Every 60 min, turn ON a device called LETTUCE PUMP
2b) Wait 15 min then turn OFF a device called LETTUCE PUMP
FARM STAND - NIGHT (runs at Sunset)
Turn OFF a device called LETTUCE LAMP2a) Every 135 min, turn ON a device called LETTUCE PUMP
2b) Wait 15 min then turn OFF a device called LETTUCE PUMP
This sounds simple, but I cannot figure out how to disable these scenes when the theyre not supposed to run.
I am no longer using any VERA scenes. I am only using a REACTOR trigger and activities.
Will my activities do what I need them to do? See below:
Here's what I am trying to accomplish:
AT SUNRISE
Turn ON a light called LETTUCE LAMP and keep it ON.2a) Turn on a device called LETTUCE PUMP for 15 min each hour.
2b) Repeat the pump cycle all day long.
AT SUNSET
Turn OFF a light called LETTUCE LAMP and keep it OFF.2a) Turn on a device called LETTUCE PUMP for 15 min then wait 2 hours..
2b) Repeat the pump cycle all night long.
Hey @toggledbits updated to Reactor 3.9develop-21009.1600 on my VP running 7.32 and I keep getting this pop up and can't change anything in my reactor sensors because of it. I am running Alt UI 2.52 and there are no updates for it. Screen Shot 2021-03-31 at 8.33.47 PM.png
FYI.
Recently a new ALTUI version got pushed out, release 2553. After the update Reactor is no longer showing any of the Control panels in a sensor. looking at the ALTUI changes they seem minimal so in J_ReactorSensor_UI7.js I upped the _MAX_ALTUI_VERSION to 2553 and all seems to be working again.
Good evening, all.
Is there a simple readme to set up and use a Broadlink device with OpenLuup?
The readme on github points to a thread on the old forum, and thence to a rabbit hole.
Is it just a case of adding IP address of the device? Or does it need the MAC?
Then how do I fire commands? It looks like I need to find the codes and send via Lua?
TIA

Hi Patrick,
A quick question about your virtual sensor plugin. I saw that the child sensors rely on polling for sensor data updates. Was there a reason not to use a watch on the underlying (source) state variable as opposed to polling. I'm asking in the sense that I need a fairly rapid response to a rise in humidity, but am unsure how to set sensor polling without adding additional io drag to openLuup.
I currently use the state humidity variable directly in a reactor sensor (the data is captured via a bluetooth device with multiple humidity variables), however, these state humidity variables have a generated name making it difficult to determine what is what in group of approximately 10 state humidity variables. So a virtual sensor solves the naming problem, while creating some trigger delay due to polling.
Thx

I have Reactor running under openLuup (which is running inside vwout's Docker container).
On the activities tab, it tells me I should update to a newer version of the device information database. When I go to the Tools tab, for a fraction of a second I can see the green "Update Device Info" button along with the Troubleshooting & Support and Device Spy sections. But after that fraction of a second, they disappear and I only see the Test Tools and Update Device Information Database sections, to just above where the Green button used to be.
I've tried this on both Edge and Firefox with the same behavior (with extensions both on and off).
Any suggestions?

Is there any chance of @amg0 becoming an active member, do you think?
He appears to be not responding on GitHub (I opened my licensing query a month back)
There are also some challenges around how things like thermostats behave in their display which would be great if we could get them fixed. Well beyond my capability

He has reached out to me a couple of months ago about his credential here. He seems to have tuned down his activity to a minimum and I have just submitted a pull request for ALTUI on github. Generally speaking he seems to be willing to take in PRs but is not going to invest himself in larger projects. He was not very active in the old place either.
If there are things you need to get done, I can give it a shot but I am very much a newb in javascript.

@rafale77 thanks chap. Seems a little unfair (to you!)
I guess there are two issues (so far)
Thermostats don't work properly under Altui. Or at least mine doesn't There's no way of adjusting the set point in the web interface. Works fine in Homewave but....
The other is the licencing issue previously mentioned. A minor peeve.
But this raises some concern that if the UI is not maintained, in a couple of years, how functional will it be?
C
-
I would not call it "unmaintained", @amg0 has just recently taken my localcdn updates and has upgraded bootstrap. I can't help with the licensing unfortunately. Maybe @akbooer can. About the setpoint problem with the thermostat, can you provide more details? I don't think this would be an ALTUI issue and more of a vera device file issue since that's what is controlling it. I have personally wrote a plugin to control my thermostat which integrates door/motion sensors/vents (The US mostly use forced air HVAC) and calculates a virtual home temperature. (Kind of like ecobee but much better as it shuts off vents for rooms with open windows, ignores and shuts off unoccupied rooms etc...)... and my thermostat works. What model and what errors/issues are you seeing?
-
Maybe 'unmaintained' is unfair, not my intention. But if support has stopped (no response to a follow up on my licensing query) and the other issue raiser in 2018 was directed to Vera forum, not sure what's going to happen.
Ref the Thermostat, I guess it may be the device file since it doesn't 'work' in the console either. This is all I get in AltUI
So there's no way to adjust the set point.

Here you are
I guess all I expect to change (and display) is the current set point. Heat on and off would be cool as well.
As far as I am aware there is only one (functional) setpoint. Although I suspect it has rather more than that. And only one mode (heat) although again I suspect it has more of them as well. Which is probably a failure in the file attributed to the device?
I can see it has in its variables two CurrentSetpoints. One is probably my fault trying to control it. But it also has Energymodes and Fanspeed.
It's really a very simple on / off stat
Tangentially this feels like the kind of issue that we should be able to provide a quick and easy solution to the average user. You know I'm going to be happy to ask and fire commands, but for basic users, it's a simple device and it's effectively un-usable.
I use it with Homewave (not exactly simple) and Alexa / HA Bridge (not quite user hostile, but verging on it)
So I don't need this functionality, it just feels like quite a big miss.C

ouch... this is through the z-way bridge. Need @akbooer here. It looks like this device was not recognized by the z-way bridge as a thermostat. I am curious as to what command class it is showing on z-way. Can you please take a look at the expertUI on z-way and show what command classes it is presenting on the interview screen?
-
I just looked at the z-way bridge code... and it shows that the bridge should create a thermostat device instead of a combo device.
You may have installed this on an older version of the z-way bridge.
Solution:
Update the z-way-bridge if it isn't already the latest version, delete the child device and reload luup.
See what device file you get. -
-
Not on openLuup. That was a vera "feature" luckily openLuup didn't reproduce. Upon luup reload, the device will be recreated and no automation should be broken. Make sure you only delete the thermostat device.
The device created should show you the thermostat temperature and at least one setpoint.
-
OK
So used the App store to select Github.development
Plugins now shows 21.1.19
Deleted the device that I thought was the Thermostat (i.e. the one I showed you earlier)
Reloaded Luup and I have a device that was recreated in my Z-Way-nnnnnn room
But...Nothing appears to have changed:
I assume I've done something dumb
C
-
Nope... there is something missing: the bridge has linked the variables but did not use the right device files.
Go into attributes and change the device json from ComboDevice1.json to D_HeaterStelpro.json and the device file to D_Heater1.xmlI think that you have a heater rather than a thermostat...
-
hmm - hmmm you have the device files reversed the json file needs to be in the json field... also make sure that these files do exist in your openluup installation. They should come from the vera.
I read the manual for your thermostat and it is indeed a heat only thermostat which for vera is a heater control device... The difference is that it only has one setpoint instead of 2 and terminologies are all around heating.
-
As a supplementary question, now I have a Heat / Off switch.
Can I make this actually switch my boiler control on? This would neatly solve an issue I've been considering with TRVs.
Currently altering it from 'Off' to 'Heat' does nothing and does not appear to alter the value of the ModeTarget variable which is reflected in the logs.
I also need to chase something down I suspect in HA Bridge as I've managed to re-create another CurrentSetpoint
