In Home Assistant I have an integration that if I add entities to it, I will get the following error in MSR as certain entity values I'm using in expressions are null for a moment. This is more or less cosmetic issue and happens very rarely as I rarely modify that integration on the hass side.

And the expression is

Could I "wrap" hass-entity shown above somewhat differently to prevent this error from happening? Using build 24302.
Hello
I am trying to set up Multi System Reactor to automate routines across multiple smart home devices & platforms (e.g., Home Assistant, SmartThings, and Hubitat). While I have successfully linked the systems; I am facing issues with:
-Delays in triggering actions on secondary devices.
-Inconsistent execution of complex logic conditions.
-Synchronization of states between devices when one system updates.
Is there a recommended way to optimize performance & confirm seamless state sharing across systems?
I have checked https://smarthome.community/category/22/multi-system-reactor-msbi guide for reference but still need advice.
Any tips on debugging or log analysis to pinpoint where the issue arises would also be appreciated.
Thank you !
I've managed to use MSR UI on iOS devices to some degree*, so that although UI elements (e.g. rule sets) are not visible in portrait mode, you've seen them in landscape. Now with recents builds (24302) this does not work anymore, elements (rule sets, entities) are not anymore visible in landscape mode.
Does anyone have similar experiences? Using iOS 18 and Safari/Chrome browser.
( *Drag & drop of rule conditions have never worked on a mobile)
@toggledbits Since I have upgraded ZWaveJSController to 24293 from 24257 I am seeing entries related to registering action set_volume, but action is not defined by the capability 143 every time I restart Reactor.
The Siren seems to be doing what it is supposed to do. The volume levels are fine. Should I worry about it?
Reactor version 24302
ZWaveJSController version 24293
Z-Wave JS UI version 9.27.4
zwave-js version 14.3.4
I have the following ACL defined:
groups: admin: users: - admin applications: true api_acls: # This ACL allows users in the "admin" group to access the API - url: "/api" group: admin allow: true log: true # This ACL allows anyone/thing to access the /api/v1/alive API endpoint - url: "/api/v1/alive" allow: trueAnd I have authenticated to MSR as "admin" user. However, I'm getting "access denied" when trying to access http://*******:8111/api/v1/log
So what I'm missing, is my ACL incorrectly defined?
Using build 24302 on Docker.
Thanks to @toggledbits for adding a custom CSS. I've started doing a darker Reactor style.
Here's the file: https://gist.github.com/dbochicchio/825098ac13b7f8cac22012eae37ff7ce
A couple of things are still too bright and I'll eventually catch-up. Just place it under your /config directory, naming the file as customstyles.css. Hard refresh your browser.
Hi
I have just connected a bunch of EzloPi controllers to MSR to import some ESP based devices etc.
They all seemed to have worked and imported in to MSR apart from I have one missing device. It is a Digital Gas Sensor device.
This is how that device looks in the Ezlo API.

They have an EzloPi website here you can create your own sensor projects using ESP boards, which is very interesting stuff!
And I just wrote on the Ezlo forum here, how to connect an EzloPi controller to MSR.
THANKS.
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.A couple of things for you @toggledbits, since you mentioned that this release has new features and some tweaks are expected.
Local expressions cannot be deleted. Pushing the X button has no effect for me.
When cloning an entity action, the result is strange (first is cloned one, second is the original action):
a92ea094-9e2c-4aaa-bf47-2d07a6ffdbd0-image.png
When changing the action on the cloned element, the params are added to the original one. See screenshot:
92ac3011-83c8-466b-bd23-47d483ad7a52-image.png
Dark theme has a couple of strange contrasts. One is visible in the previous screenshots (white text on yellow background). Another one is in groups (blue text on blue background):
9b3c4988-53ef-44e6-9672-30e744cacb75-image.png
Overall, I found blue, yellow, red and green (in buttons and forms) to be too bright.
On the bright side:
I love the new script action: thank you! The dark theme is a great start to avoid getting blinded at night I promise I'll try very soon the new features around actions. Thanks!@toggledbits
I just upgraded to version MSR 24293, bare metal running on Fedora. Upon restart, I am getting a error banner:
I followed the new directions about npm
npm i --no-save --no-package-lock --omit dev
Any idea what the issue is?
Seems like switching the UI to the newly added dark mode (thank you for this) does nothing. The UI stays in light mode and only a few buttons turn into dark mode (see screenshot)

Good morning,
I have a service MQTT service that needs a restart occasionally. The add-on (Smartbed MQTT) is for the smart bed base for my bed. It has a "safety light" that I can control from HAAS & MSR as a light entity, and also moves the head of the bed to a preset at bedtime, and then lies it back flat in the morning The problem is, from time to time, the light becomes "unavailable" Restarting from the Add-ons tab in HAAS always fixes it, but I should be able to detect when it happens when "light.tempur_pedic_safety_lights" is not true or false, i.e., unavailable.
What I don't know how to do is how to restart that service. Does anybody have experience in restarting add-ons from MSR?

RPi5-64 (8GB) Core 2024.7.3 Supervisor 2024.08.0 Operating System 13.0 Frontend 20240710.0Hi!
Is it possible to generate two additional log files, the first being the replica of what is displayed on screen by the Rule History widgets and the other with Recently Changed Entities?
And could I configure the generation of one file per day, and delete the older ones? For example, store the last 5 days?
And being more ambitious, does Windget have an icon to open these TXT files in the navigated?
Well, we're approaching Christmas, so here's my request to Santa Claus @toggledbits 🙂
Hi @toggledbits
I'm working on a controller to generate llm response from a prompt in reactor. I have http response coming thru an http request action at the moment, capturing the response inside a local variable. So, it's practically sync.
I want to create a controller, so I don't have to rely on a proxy (and have a simpler architecture), and duplicate absurd http actions, but AFAIK in the current implementation, actions are async only. But if I have multiple requests going on, I cannot be sure what it's really inside an attribute. I also thought that something like a correlation id when sending the request could be used to identity multiple responses, but I wanted to double check with you before starting with something too complicated. I also noticed that some actions in home assistant (ie forecast) are sync and I'm wondering if you have any plan or hint to address this situation. Thanks.
Thanks.
@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.

@toggledbits I have noticed after upgrading both Reactor and ZWaveJSController to version 24257 that two of my devices/entities, TILT-ZWAVE2.5-ECO and Zooz ZSE18, had their entity re-named in an unusual way and also appears to be duplicated.

calculate with MSR variables in LuaXP
-
In MSR I have found that you can use lua code. Can I also calculate in lua with MSR variable? I have the following varaible in MSR:
TotalTimeUp
TimeUp_Start
TimeDown_Start
TimeStop
South_Manual_MoveTimeI want to calculate below
if TotalTimeUp == TimeStop THEN
South_Manual_MoveTime == (TimeUp_Start-TimeStop)
End
If TotalTimeDown == TimeStop
South_Manual_MoveTime == (TimeStop-TimeDown_Start))
ENDMaybe someone can help me

You cannot use Lua code in MSR; you can ask a Vera controller connected to MSR to run some Lua code on the Vera, which is what the action you posted in your screen shot would do (although the Lua you provide there isn't actually a valid script).
You also cannot use MSR variables in Lua running on the Vera. The Vera cannot "see" the MSR variables. You could, in theory, build up Lua as a string and place MSR expression results into the built-up string, which would then be sent to the Vera to be executed, but this is a kludge and is not the same as using a variable from MSR in the Lua code (i.e. you could not set the variable in the Lua code and have the value magically port back to the MSR variable's value).
You can do the expressions above in the MSR expression language, although (I see an X-Y problem here) I suspect there are behaviors and side-effects of this you are hoping for or expecting that would not be true (some would apply both to Lua and MSR expressions).
Why don't you tell us what you are actually trying to do, rather than asking us about one piece of how you think your problem can be solved? Your approach may be valid in some contexts, but maybe not the best/easiest way on Vera or MSR.
Note: there is no LuaXP in MSR. LuaXP is Reactor for Vera's expression language, written in Lua. MSR uses an entirely different expression language written on entirely different code. So don't use any LuaXP knowledge or documentation to try to solve expression puzzles in MSR. The information you need for MSR is here.

@toggledbits My explanation of my project
I use somfy motors (rfx) to open and close my roman blinds electrically. I can control this via RFXtrx433E USB Transceiver connect to my Vera. RFX gives no feedback so I can only open and close them and not moving them to a position based on the percentage of the slider. The RFX plugin (Tinmann) works with a slider related on MaxMoveTime (time to go from completely open to completely close)., but it doesn’t work with somfy. So I started my own project.
I have installed the switchboard plugin on my Vera. I have created a virtual switch (virtual window coverings) and use it in MSR to close my blinds with the slider based on MaxMoveTime (time to go from completely open to completely close). It works with Vera and also with voice control by google home.
MRS setting:
Expression : LoadLevel_Last_Oost, MaxMoveTime_OostWhat I haven't solved yet is the following:
I can operate Romand blinds by MSR with time schedule but would like to operate Roman blinds manually with the fibaro roller shutter 2, double click down / up and triple click stop function. For example, with a double click function I can start the following action:I am using the virtual window covering (Switchboard) and switching up (double click Up), down (double click down) and stop (Triple click down). Switchboard can simulate motor movement of the covering by ramping LoadLevelStatus at a rate of XX% per second to the target value. This is the problem.
MaxMoveTime (time to go from completely open to completely close) = 40 sec. Switchboard simulate motor movement = 34 sec (RampRatePerSecond =2).To set simulate motor movement =40 seconds, RamRatePerSeconde should be = 2.35. This does not work because they must be integer number. Is there a possibility to set the MaxMoveTime to simulate motor movement instead of movement % per sec?
-
There's nothing enforcing
RampRatePerSecond
being an integer. Have you tried setting it to 2.35? It should work. The only thing that stands out as "iffy" about the whole idea is that the resolution of the timer on Vera is one second, so if the target isn't an even multiple of the ramp rate times the number of seconds needed to get to target, it will overshoot. For example, if the target is going to 22 from 0, that's 10 seconds ramping at 2.35/sec and will give you 23.5 position, not 22. And it will store the fraction inLoadLevelStatus
which is probably going to make something crazy somewhere, so I've updated the stable branch release on Github to make sure it only writes the rounded whole number toLoadLevelStatus
(but otherwise preserves the resolution ofRampRatePerSecond
).BTW, if it takes 40 second to go 0 to 100, that's 2.5 ramp rate, not 2.35.
Github stable: https://github.com/toggledbits/Switchboard-Vera/tree/stable
To install on Vera:
- Click the green "Code" button and choose "Download ZIP"
- Unzip the downloaded file.
- Open Apps > Develop apps > Luup files in Vera web UI
- Drag files (only, not folder) to "Upload button"
- When upload and reload finish, hard-refresh your browser.
Expected version number in Switchboard control panel: 21098
-
OK. Pull the latest stable again and install it. I did another update. This is a much better ramp for fractional timing. Still won't be absolutely perfect, but should not be wildly off. I've also added a "Ramping" state variable you can use to see if it's "in motion".
-
@toggledbits
Yes, it works! Excellent.
Thank you for your time! Now I can continue my project. The new variable is also useful. -
