Device log?

@toggledbits is there a log that will show me what rule is turning on a specific device? I've got a switch that has been kicking on at 2200 ET for several nights now and the reactor.log doesn't have a thing in it that I can see on a device level (it being more rules-based).

Notice to Docker + ARM Users (RPi 3/4/5 and others)
toggledbitsT
This post does not apply to users of Intel/AMD-based systems. If you are using a Reactor image tagged latest-amd64 or stable-amd64, then this post does not apply to you. It also does not apply to bare-metal installs; it's for users of docker images on ARM-based systems only (principally Raspberry Pi hosts, but could be others). After January 15, 2026, I will no longer produce the aarch64-tagged docker image for Reactor. The ARM images will be arm64 for 64-bit operating systems, and armv7l for 32-bit operating systems. For those of you running a container from the aarch64 image today, this will be a relatively simple change: you just need to switch the image used for your docker container to a differently-tagged image. If you are using docker-compose, then this is a relatively simple matter of changing the image line in your docker-compose.yaml file and then stopping (docker-compose down) and restarting (docker-compose up -d) your Reactor daemon. But there's a catch... not all of you can safely just switch from the aarch64 image to the arm64 image. And, you can't just trust the output of uname -m, for example, because this exposes the CPU architecture, but not the word size of the OS running on that CPU. For Raspberry Pi systems, the transition to 64-bit operating systems was long (starting in 2016) and not always obvious — although there was a first "official" 64-bit OS for RPis in 2020, it did not become a default recommendation in the Raspberry Pi Imager until 2021, and then that was only the default for Pi 3/4 systems with >4GB RAM; it was 2022 before it was universally recommended for all 64-bit CPUs regardless of RAM size. Depending on when you first imaged your RPi system and what default you may have been offered/chosen, you could today easily have a 64-bit CPU Raspberry Pi running a 32-bit version of the operating system. Upgrades along the way would not change this; changing it to fully 64-bit requires a full reimage of the system. To establish if your OS is 64- or 32-bit, log in to your Pi and run: sudo dpkg-architecture -q DEB_HOST_ARCH. If the response is arm64 or aarch64, then you are running a 64-bit OS and you should use the arm64-tagged image. If it's anything else, you are running a 32-bit OS, and you should use the armv7l-tagged image. pi@rpi4-1:~ $ sudo dpkg-architecture -q DEB_HOST_ARCH armhf pi@rpi4-1:~ $ uname -m aarch64 pi@rpi4-1:~ $ In the example above, the uname command reports that the CPU is 64-bit architecture (aarch64), which is true for the host on which I ran these commands, but the DEB_HOST_ARCH value is armhf, indicating a 32-bit operating system. This system has to use the armv7l-tagged image. Other systems will have their own ways of determining the word size of the running OS. Since the majority of Reactor users running ARM systems are on Raspberry Pis, I am able to supply the above instructions, but if you happen to have a different ARM system, you'll need to do some web searching to figure out how to expose that information. Or, you can just try the arm64 image, and if it doesn't start up, try the armv7l image. Remember to always back up your system before making any changes. For everyone, please make this change as soon as possible, and if you have any trouble finding a working image, please (1) go back to the current aarch64 image; and (2) let me know in this thread along with as much detail about your host system as you can offer (including the output of the dpkg-architecture command mentioned above).

Requesting a proper ARM64/aarch64 Docker image (Pi 5 support)
M
Hi, I'm in the process of migrating from a Raspberry Pi 4 (ARMv7) to a Raspberry Pi 5 (ARMv8/aarch64), but I’ve run into an issue: there is no proper ARMv8/aarch64 image available. None of the existing images run on the Pi 5 - they all exit immediately with code 139 (segmentation fault), which typically indicates that the binaries inside the image are not compatible with the ARM64/aarch64 architecture used by the Pi 5. Would it be possible to publish a correct ARMv8/aarch64 (linux/arm64) image? Building one should be relatively straightforward using docker buildx with multi-arch support. For example, my own Node.js images are built this way: docker buildx build --push \ -t <localrepo>/<project>:<tag> \ --platform=linux/arm64,linux/amd64 \ --file ./apps/<project>/Dockerfile . This produces both the AMD64 and ARM64/v8 variants automatically. Also, as a side note, it may be best to avoid using Alpine as the base image for the ARM64 build, since musl-based builds often cause compatibility issues and unnecessary headaches. A glibc-based base image (e.g., Debian or Ubuntu) tends to work far more reliably on ARM64, especially for Node.js applications. @toggledbits - tagging you in case you missed this. Thanks, mgvra

Script action and custom timers
therealdbT
Sorry to write here without trying, but I’m flying today. Am I correct if i say that script action with alarm() makes it possible to execute a reaction in a given interval, lets say 15 seconds or 3.5 minutes? That sounds amazing, since I’ve used weird tricks, including a custom controller, just to do this.

Reactor Version 25310 : Office Light control via rule in reactor no longer working since last update.
P
Hello, I currently have an office light (connected via a Leviton Zwave Dimmer switch) controlled from a Gen5 Aeotech Zwave switch installed on my Synology 720+ NAS. I run HA(2025.11.10) in a virtual machine from my NAS and Reactor on the container manager of the same NAS. Prior to updating to 25304 the rule I had set to turn the light on to a specific dimming value worked correctly. Now the rule appears to follow the decision tree, however the reaction does not trigger setting the dimming or turning on the office light? Strangely I can still turn the light on and off as well as dim it directly from HASS..? I have tried using the ''try this action'' button in the rules reaction setting and it will not control the light and does not throw an error flagÉ Please help, P.S Reactor has been rock steady for me over the last few years and I'm a big fan of this solution.

Handling Dead Entities and Renamed Entities
PablaP
Hello all.. been a minute! I recently rebuilt my Z wave network and migrated to a new z wave stick. In order to prevent any downtime I kept my original z wave network up and ran a docker version of Z Wave JS UI with my new controller. This way I could add device by device without having any devices down. I finally moved all the devices over to my new stick today. The final step was to migrate everything from my Docker instance of Z Wave JS UI to the HA add-on of Z Wave JS UI. However during this migration some of the names didn't populate correctly which I later managed to import back into Z Wave JS UI. The issue was in Reactor it is stuck on the default names and the entities are not updating. I removed the controller from Reactor, restarted, hard refreshed, and added the controller back however the new entity names have not updated. Also it seems like the old entities from my previous instance of Z Wave JS UI are lingering and not being marked as dead (I believe a certain amount of time needs to lapse before they're marked as dead in Reactor). My goal is to basically purge all the entities for the 'ZWaveJS' controller in Reactor so it can pull all the updated entity names and only the entities that exist in Z Wave JS UI. I cannot find a quick way to do this, I know entities can be deleted one by one, but with over 100 entities this would take long I am guessing that if I added the controller with a new name in in the Reactor config it would pull the updated entities and names but I think that would break my rules since the entity IDs would change (I made sure to name all the entities the exact same as they were previously to prevent this issue).

    @toggledbits I'm testing this new function, but somehow it does not show all the devices I'm expecting it to show. See examples below

    Screenshot 2021-09-30 at 17.34.23.png

    Array is empty, although it should contain one device:

    Strange, as device 216 definitely has capability "x_vera_device"

      One of the issues I see in matchEntities() as it currently works is that it returns an array of entity objects with attribute values, but it does not update that array when any of the returned entities' attributes or other values changes. So it's certain, then, that the attributes will go stale in the result array.

      For the next build, I will change the definition of this function to return canonical entity IDs only, rather than entity objects, so you will have to use getEntity() in your each over the results, as you did with your test_array example, and this will ensure that you are always looking at the latest attributes. You can test this theory now by modifying your each for d_failure_list to use getEntity( id.canonical_id ).

            @tunnus I had some issues as well. I got an empty array and when tried getEntity() I got some "Type Error". Was sure I was doing something wrong but I restarted Reactor and copied the same expression to a new one and suddenly it worked.
            @toggledbits I also noticed the array isn't updated when entity changed so I pulse the trigger every minute to update it. Will change to getEntity() for next update.

                    How do I change my rule for devices with low batteries to use a dynamic array instead of the static manual array I am using currently ?

                    battery_device_list:

                    102246ea-adb8-40f8-a37b-e3283e6b6bf8-image.png

                    Thanks

                      The first expression produces an array that includes all battery powered entities across all controllers.

                      The second restricts the results to a specific controller.

                        Ian thank you. I thought it would be the battery_power capability, but I didn't know how to write that in an expression. I will try it now.

                          I think this may work then, I just need to edit my existing rule:

                            @cw-kid You could also do all that in one expression if you prefer and are not using the other ones for anything else.

                            join( 
                              each id in matchEntities( { controller: 'vera', capability: 'battery_power' } ): do
                                device=getEntity( id ), 
                                device.attributes.battery_power.level > 0.1 ? null : device.name + " at " + device.attributes.battery_power.level * 100 + " percent"

                                Just a point here: why limit matchEntities() to one controller? Would you not perhaps want an alert for a device on any controller that has a low battery level?

                                Also, don't forget about the format() function, which is meant for things like this...

                                    device.attributes.battery_power.level > 0.1 ? null : format( "{} at {:.1%}", device.name, device.attributes.battery_power.level )
                                

                                Oh, and in my home, any battery-operated device would be long dead if it was reporting 10% (0.1). Most of mine seem to start to malfunction below 50%.

                                  @toggledbits I'm trying to understand the pros and cons of using this vs the new DynamicGroupController, could you give a short summation?

                                    Hi @crille !

                                    In this post we are having this discussion about Dynamic, I am having a hard time getting it to work, but it will be very good, the concept is great and this will make it much easier.

                                      @wmarcolin Yes, but the goal seems to be the same so what's the pros of doing it in the DynamicGroupController? More efficient, more dynamic, less complex etc, than a global expression like the one above?
                                      I'm all up for new improved ways of doing things just need an explanation of why 🙂

                                        In my opinion, everything you put in: more efficient, more dynamic, less complex. Below is a screenshot of how I do it today, and it would be replaced only by the format expression already directly inside a message as per telegram.

                                        77669a6a-5057-4bfc-9370-a32da5a597b3-image.png

                                        I will also use it to easily know all the devices that will be tripped in the house, see the other post for what I am adding after the battery. Besides this, unifying devices that for example are triggered by a contact or movement and have different expressions, will help unify and set up the alarm trigger management.
