Hi
Having to rebuild my Linux Debian box as the SSD failed. And I have forgotten exactly what I did the first time to get it all setup.
I have Debian 12 up and running on the new SSD, I only have console no Desktop GUI.
I am trying to do the bare metal install for MSR. However I am not sure if I am meant to install nodejs whlist logged in as the root user or as the none root user with my name ?
I used putty and connected via SSH and logged in as root and I installed nodejs but I think this was wrong as when logged in as my user name and I do a node -v command it says node is not installed or doesn't show any version number anyway.
But when logged in as root and I do a node -v command it does show me its installed and displays the version number. maybe its a path issue for my username and he can't see node is installed?
So now I am thinking I should of installed node whilst logged in as my user name and not as the root user.
This is how I installed nodejs as whilst logged in as root

Thanks in advance.
As the title says, here's my OpenAI Controller for Reactor:
OpenAI Controller per Reactor. Contribute to dbochicchio/reactor-openai development by creating an account on GitHub.
It supports both OpenAI and Azure OpenAI endpoints. You'll need keys/endpoints, according to each service.
The controller supports multiple models, and each one could be mapped as an entity.
It's quite easy to use, and responses can be stored in variables, for easy access. Or sent to another action (Text To Speech, another endpoint, etc).

Have fun with LLM into your scenes!
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)
Things I have tried:
Hard refresh
Different browser

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?
Running:

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.
TTS in MSR?
-
Hi!
In Home Assistant I sometimes uses the TTS, either to my Sonos or Google speakers. With reactor in Vera I also use TTS.
But in MSR I can't select the TTS-service. It's simply not there. Am I missing something, or is this the case, so far?
Thanks!
/Fanan -
In MSR, try the following action (assuming you have the Sonos_TTS plug-in running on Vera):
[ Entity Action ] [ Sonos device ] [ x_vera_svc_micasaverde_com_Sonos1.say ] where these fields are all (mostly) optional: Text:, Language:, Engine: [AZURE], Volume:, SameVolumeForAll:, GroupDevices:, GroupZones:, Chime:, Repeat:, UnMute:, UseCache:
Hope I'm pointing you in the right direction, as that's what I see in my (only) rule that produces TTS output.
-
Home Assistant does not enumerate the full list of services supported by a device in any of its APIs. It's a bit of a hole (but not unusual -- Hubitat is the same).
You can tell MSR that a device supports a service by creating a file
local_hass_devices.yaml
with contents similar to the following (modify the entity ID as needed):# This file has local definitions for HomeAssistant devices. entities: # This media player is a Sonos device, so it supports the Hass "tts" service "hass>media_player_portable": services: - tts
Remember YAML indenting is done with spaces, not tabs; two spaces per level. Use yamlchecker.com for check/diagnostics.
-
@toggledbits That worked as a charm!
A new question; I send the TTS-message to a Nest smart display. Is it possible to have the text visible on the screen? Or even a selected picture? Maybe that's to much... But it would still be cool!Thanks for giving me the TTS option!
-
@toggledbits, I wounder if it's possible to use the "PlayURI" command, as in the Reactor in Vera. The aim is to play a certain Sonos playlist. My Sonos is visible both as a Vera integration and a HA integration. The Vera integration shows up as an option, but doesn't work. The HA integration don't seem to have that option in MSR. I tried to add it using the same method as you descriped above, but that didn't work. Do you know how to fix this?
Best regards,
/Fanan -
For Hass, the
x_hass_media_player.play_media
action is the one to use, but the parameters are platform (Sonos) dependent and you need to figure them out. The Hass documentation for the Sonos component has some information, but it's anything but user-friendly. Google is your friend.For Hubitat, I've never had any luck getting Sonos to play queues, even from the Hubitat's own UI.
I will say, this is a reflection of how much the Sonos plugin on Vera simplifies the use of the zone player, because the Hass and Hubitat interfaces are pretty raw/low-level, and Sonos is complex.
-
@toggledbits And in Hubitat?
-
I think I answered that.

This news just in from Microsoft:
"Thanks for using Azure Text-to-Speech. We would like to share the great news that we have recently released 12 new regions. We also released neural Text-to-Speech in 10 more languages, a new neural voice (Jenny Multilingual) that speaks 14 languages, 11 more neural voices in American English and 5 more neural voices in Chinese. When using neural voice, synthesized speech is nearly indistinguishable from human recordings."
-
@librasun . I'm trying to add Microsofts TTS service, but it doesn't work. I got a API key and everything. Still doesn't work. My aim is to use a swedish neural voice instead of Googles voices. Is it working for you?
EDIT: I got it working! The neural voices don't support my region, so I had to change the region (created a new service), when I was logged in at Azure.

I am trying to enable MSR TTS on Google home devices. I found the local_hass_devices.yaml file already existed with the above example.
So in the true spirit of cutting and pasting while not knowing what I am doing I ended up with the following file:# This file has local definitions for HomeAssistant devices. --- entities: # Entry shows how an entity can have a service added and its name forced "hass>sensor_connected_clients": name: "WebSocket Clients" services: - homeassistant # Sample Sonos device, add the Hass "tts" service for text-to-speech capability "hass>media_player_sonos_living_room": service: - tts # Sample Sonos device, add the Hass "tts" service for text-to-speech capability "hass>media_player.family_room_speaker": service: - tts
-
What you've done here (correct approach, one little error, see below) is declare that those two
media_player
devices have thetts
service as an additional declared service. That will cause MSR to bring in the attributes and actions of that service as supported for the device.Hass doesn't publish what Hass services a Hass entity supports through its API. The only service that can be known for certain is the one that is part of the Hass entity ID (e.g. the Hass entity ID
media_player.family_room_speaker
tells you that it will support themedia_player
service). Any other supported services (liketts
) aren't enumerated by the API, sadly (in a few cases, they can be inferred as related in a bit mask, but this is an extension and highly implementation/component dependent, not consistent at all, but I try to pick this up when known). This manual way of connecting additional services/capabilities to the entities is the best I could do at the moment.Other things you can do in this file are override the name of the device (by supplying
name: "myoverridename"
at the same indent level asservice:
), and change the primary attribute (primary_attribute: "servicename.attributename"
). When setting/overriding the primary attribute, the service must be supported by the device (so known by the device ID or added viaservices:
in this file).One small correction, though: the canonical ID for the third entry
hass>media_player.family_room_speaker
-- the dot (.
) should probably be an underscore (_
). Confirm on the Entities list. -
Picking up on my old thread. I just got Alexa working with tts in Home Assistant. Is it possible to get it to work with MSR as well? I added the speakers to my local_hass_devices.yaml, and then I got the same tts options as with google speakers. But that don't work for sending tts messages. In HA I have to add "Type: tts" for it to work. I also don't see the native Alexa voice as an option, only the same as the google speakers. It's not a personal big deal, but would be a fun and maybe useful feature in the future.
-
Let me play around with this a bit. You can add the
notify
service to the entity (have you done this?), but I'm not sure about the rest of the parameters. Some are tricky. But I want to get something like this going in my house, so good excuse to figure it out... -
@toggledbits said in TTS in MSR?:
You can add the notify service to the entity (have you done this?)
@toggledbits No, I haven't used the notify service. I might give it a try later this week. If you (or anyone else) figure it out, please share!
-
@fanan Per this topic https://smarthome.community/topic/744/sending-a-service-request-to-home-assistant?_=1638829172919 I couldn't get Alexa tts to work in MSR, but I do have it working in openLuup with the following code that sits inside a simple plugin:
myEchoDevice = "alexa_media_".. myEchoDevice myEchoMessage = table.concat(myEchoMessage) local request_body = json.encode {message = myEchoMessage, data = {["type"] = "announce",method = "all"}} local response_body = {} local theURL = 'http://'..HomeAssistantIP..':'..HomeAssistantPort..'/api/services/notify/'..myEchoDevice r, c, h = http.request { url = theURL, method = "POST", headers = { ["Content-Type"] = "application/json", ["Authorization"] = "Bearer ".. HomeAssistantToken, ["Content-Length"] = request_body:len() }, source = ltn12.source.string(request_body), sink = ltn12.sink.table(response_body) }
The variable "myEchoDevice" is the exact name of the specific echo device (or device group) as presented in the Amazon Alexa app. I typically broadcast to all my devices via a group, intercom style, so I catch the message wherever I am in my home. The variable "HomeAssistantToken" needs to be created in HA. "myEchoMessage "is a lua table in the above code, but you could just as easily capture the message as a string, and then trim the string prior to sending it to the HTTP post request.
