Hi, @toggledbits!
I have a question about the execution behavior. See the code below, and I'll explain the situation.
12957c3e-ff06-46c9-929d-b53f936665df-image.png
This is a routine that, at a certain point, determines that the desktop on which the VM hosting the Reactor is located receives an instruction to perform a shutdown (Shell Command).
When this happens, the desktop is turned off, and then Hubitat detects by a "ping" that the VM has been down, waits 15 seconds, turns off the power to this desktop, and then 15 seconds later turns on the desktop with the Reactor VM again.
After restarting the desktop, the VM is loaded, and the Reactor is triggered. Still, the following problem occurs: I expected that when the rule was continued to be executed again, the next step would be executed, that of the 900-second delay after shutdown, but the Shell command is executed again, and then it goes into a loop, the rule does not advance.
To break the loop, I first have to make the VM not load, change the desktop password, and then start the VM. In this case, Reactor generates an error when trying to execute the Shell Command because of the invalid password and then finishes the routine following the 900 delay step.
b58b0d4a-d6c1-4fe3-bab7-4222acea9607-image.png
Is my interpretation that when it returns, the routine should continue to the next step that has not yet been executed incorrectly? Or does Reactor, through the shutdown command, interpret that it hasn't finished this step and keep trying, which is the correct reaction?
Thanks for clarifying.
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.Hi @toggledbits ,
I'm slowly moving my ZWave network from Vera to ZWaveJS. I successfully cloned my ZWave network using a spare Vera Edge (a new post for the community later when I'll be fully back from vacation) and I'm testing a couple of things before moving everything to ZWaveJS.
In the meanwhile, I have a couple of venetian blinds connected to Fibaro Roller Shutters 2 (FGR222) and I'm using some proprietary ZWave commands to control the tilt position, that right now I'm sending via Vera (with some code from the old place, messing with this):
af7f883c-f49e-419c-a2fe-8669572e3792-image.png
The ZWaveJS values are reported via this:
x_zwave_values.Manufacturer_Proprietary_fibaro_venetianBlindsPosition=0 x_zwave_values.Manufacturer_Proprietary_fibaro_venetianBlindsTilt=0I hope there's a way to expose a separate device to control the tilt position directly, without doing the mess I'm doing now. Let me know if you need some files. Thanks.
As per @toggledbits request, new topic.

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-
I have an android media player entity publishing from HA. I watch for changes in transport state and media title to trigger some actions.
Though those attributes report as expected, the set rule is being throttled for possible flapping.
There is an attribute for media position that continually updates, I suspect it is causing the evaluations to run constantly.
The workaround I am seeking is to ignore those attributes in HA or MSR. Anyone know how, or have a better idea??
Thx
Btw- this problem has spanned versions of HA and reactor, but I am current on both. Too current on HA for transparency, but the issue has survived several updates.
Referencing an expression inside a reaction is in the form of ${{ expression }}. When referenced inside my shell command to set the watering delay duration for my Rachio sprinkler system, it just does not work.
If I enter "86400" instead of referencing the expression lWateringDelayDuration, it works. Either I am doing something wrong or referencing an expression inside a shell command is not supported.

As per @toggledbits request, here's a new topic.
My Fibaro Door Window Sensor 2 (FGDW002) is always reporting as open, even if
x_zwave_values.Notification_Access_Control_Door_state=23 x_zwave_values.Notification_Access_Control_Door_state_simple=23which means that the door is closed. It was working before and I could downgrade to test, if necessary. Thanks.
Hi @toggledbits,
I'm not sure if it's a bug or something, but I have a lot of Fibaro Double Switch (FGS223) as follows.
In the example, it's zwavejs>65-2:
energy_sensor.units="kWh" energy_sensor.value=0.21 power_sensor.units="W" power_sensor.value=0 power_switch.state=false x_debug.dt={"entity_class":"Switch","match":"deviceClass.generic.key=16","capabilities":["power_switch","toggle"],"primary_attribute":"power_switch.state"} x_zwave_values.Binary_Switch_currentValue=false x_zwave_values.Binary_Switch_targetValue=false x_zwave_values.Meter_reset=null x_zwave_values.Meter_value_65537=0.21 x_zwave_values.Meter_value_66049=0 zwave_device.capabilities=[37,50] zwave_device.endpoint=2 zwave_device.failed=null zwave_device.impl_sig="23326:1:22315:1" zwave_device.manufacturer_info=null zwave_device.node_id=65 zwave_device.version_info=nullWhen operating endpoint 2, it's triggered endpoint 1. Endpoint 1 is fine. This is causing a lot of troubles, as you may imagine.
Also, endpoint 0 is not really a switch, and the associated actions are not doing anything at all. Maybe these could be removed. Also, I see battery_maintenance and power_source capabilities, all with null values.

Good morning,
I'm having an issue with controlling my Zooz Zen14 outdoor double outlet. I should be able to control each outlet individually, and this does work when use Home Assistant (haas) from Reactor.
When I use zwavejs, I see 3 entries:
8305eccf-a99e-421f-ad18-1f08da9c8c9c-image.png
The first entry is for the overall device. I can turn both outlets on and off (in theory) by setting the power_switch state to on or off. This does turn them on and off when using zwavejs.
When I go to the individual outlets, performing the power_switch.on or power_switch.off actions turns them all (main, 1 and 2) on or off, and not just the individual outlets. When I perform the same action from haas, turning on outlet 1 will turn on the main switch and 1, but not 2.
I reviewed the logs for that node and I'm not seeing anything obvious.

I think this feature request could be accomplished with the use of two or more rules, but it would be great if there was a way to wait for an event or trigger to occur before continuing on in the reactions.
For example, I have a rule that will turn on some exterior lights if you arrive home after the porch lights have been turned off. Right now this rule randomly will turn off between 5-10 minutes after the person has entered the geofence. On some occasions this 5-10 minutes isn't long enough, say if you are unloading the car or something. I would like to kick off the reaction, but pause it part way through and wait for the door to close and lock, then continue it on. Hubitat Rule Machine has a "Wait for event" option, but I really want to keep all my logic within MSR.
Hi,
Running the latest version 24212 on docker.
I want to run some appliances when my solar panels deliver over 1200 watts to the net. In this example the dryer. So when the dryer is turned on, the rule starts (SET). There first is a 3 min delay in case the dryer is turned on manually, that is group "Check if auto start is needed". If the dryer is not running, the status is set to waiting, and the shown Repeat Until should wait as long the power delivered is higher than -1200 for at least 120 seconds and the status is still waiting. Higher as the value is negative. For some reason that repeat until "DR Wait for solar high or manual start" looks skipped. Nothing in the logs. What am I missing?
Reactor Automation.png (g_DryerStatus should have been "waiting" and not "running" the moment the log was captured, so that should not be the issue. Unless it takes some time for a variable to actually change?)
Cheers Rene
I have got some warnings i reactor that a rule is throttled because it update rate is over 120/minute, happens now and when with a week or two in between.
The rule monitors my house power consumption when charging my car, and if if consumption risks to kill a main fuse, it stops the charging.
Thought I was clever when I in Constraints added that my car should be located at home and charging is active, but apparantly it wasn't clever enough...
I had understand it that if Constraints isn't true, then the triggers isn't evaluated.
I have a Shelly 3EM meter that measure three channel/phases and updates every second. So just for this three channels it is 180 updates per minute...
And now when I start to take a closer look I can se in my logs that this rule is evaluated with every value change on any of the three phases...
So ~11MB of logs only goes back in time around 16 hours...🙀
So what is the best solution?
Should move my "Constraints" in an new trigger group, before my existing triggers?

Hi!
I'm wondering if it's possible now, or if it's something that can be solved in a future version, to be able to remove the entities that no longer exist and are crossed out all at once. Currently, you have to mark them one by one, which takes a lot of time. Is there any way to make this more efficient?
I'm on MSR version 24212-3ce15e25.
Thanks!

I'm slowly migrating all my stuff to MQTT under MSR, so I have a central place to integrate everything (and, in a not-so-distant future, to remove virtual devices from my Vera and leave it running zwave only).
Anyway, here's my reactor-mqtt-contrib package:

Contrib MQTT templates for Reactor. Contribute to dbochicchio/reactor-mqtt-contrib development by creating an account on GitHub.
Simply download yaml files (everything or just the ones you need) and you're good to go.
I have mapped my most useful devices, but I'll add others soon. Feel free to ask for specific templates, since I've worked a lot in the last weeks to understand and operate them.
The templates are supporting both init and query, so you have always up-to-date devices at startup, and the ability to poll them. Online status is supported as well, so you can get disconnected devices with a simple expression.
Many-many thanks to @toggledbits for its dedication, support, and patience with me and my requests 🙂
Good morning,
I'm trying to figure out if there is a way to evaluate if a command was completed and retry if it did not complete.
I have 14 iBlinds 3.1 z-wave controllers in my home. 95% of the time, they work just fine. Occasionally, I'll get a blind that does not open on the first attempt. When I go into Home Assistant, and manually open or close the blind, it works.
I have 3 reactions set up for each room. One to open, one to close, and one partial open for sun glare. Each of them is set up as below.
5afc9924-4300-4718-9e23-8855c4a3a9fd-image.png
The reactions are set up to wait for 5 seconds before going onto the next blind, so the z-wave network doesn't get overwhelmed.
In addition, the set command to run the reactions has "Wait for completion" checked.

I also have a routine set up whenever a z-wave device reports as non-functional (dead), it'll get pinged to wake it up. This usually works to wake them up.

Appreciate any ideas to make this more reliable.
I'm running:

Hi
I had an MSR rule to run some LUA code that would randomly run different Vera scenes to change the colours on some garden lights, the rule would pulse every 15 minutes, so a different Vera scene was selected to change to a different colour etc.
local scenes = {"172", "173", "174", "175", "176", "271", "272"} local tmp_random_number = math.random(1,7) local scene_id_to_launch = scenes[tmp_random_number] luup.call_action("urn:micasaverde-com:serviceId:HomeAutomationGateway1", "RunScene", {SceneNum = scene_id_to_launch}, 0)
This was working OK, but then I have been deleting lots of scenes off my Vera Plus and making them MSR Global Reactions instead and I forgot about this setup and now its broken as the Vera scenes have gone.
So now I have several MSR Global Reactions for setting each colour on these garden lights. But don't know how to achieve the same thing but by using Global Reactions instead of Vera scenes.
Anyone good with expressions ? Or another way to do this in a rule?
Thanks
-
How about having an MSR rule run at regular intervals, which would then pick a whole number between 1 and 7, and run other rules (or just do the things itself) based on the chosen number?
If I were to lay that out, it would go something like this (in pseudocode, not actual scripting in MSR):
Rule: RUN EVERY 15 MINUTES
Expressions:choose
= floor(random()*7+0.5)
Triggers: Condition = Interval every 15:00 relative to midnight
Constraints: (none)
Set Reaction:
[group] [expression value] [choose] [==] [1]
[entity action] ► do the colors for scene #1
[group] [expression value] [choose] [==] [2]
[entity action] ► do the colors for scene #2
[group] [expression value] [choose] [==] [3]
[entity action] ► do the colors for scene #3
etc.Reset Reaction: <empty>

Hi LibraSun
Something like that may work. I actually have a virtual switch in Vera and my previous rule was triggered when that virtual switch was turned on, it would then run the LUA code that in turn picked a random colour scene in Vera.
It would retrigger every 15 minutes and then run the LUA code again and pick another colour scene.
And if I turned off the virtual switch in Vera it stopped doing it and the lights were turned off etc.
-
In that case you could definitely include the virtual switch as one of the trigger conditions. That way when the switch is off the rule won't continue running every 15 minutes.
Also since you are not afraid of expressions, you could easily use them to create the random colors as well and use those expressions in Lua code with ${{ }} substitution.
-
What makes the expression run and generate a new number after a period of time?
This is what I have so far.
Trigger is the virtual switch in Vera.
Pulse every 1 seconds and repeat every 60 seconds.Set Reaction - Groups that look at the expression named "ChooseColour" and its current number value
and then runs a Global Reactionnow directly sets that colour on the LED strip.The random number generator expression named "ChooseColour" this is a rule expression not a Global Expression.
I added an 1 minute interval to the triggers and the virtual switch is true trigger is also pulsing every minute.
The expression is now changing numbers every minute, but the reactions don't seem to be running as the colour is stuck and not changing.
Also I think this expression generates the number zero which I don't have assigned to any reaction.
-
You can avoid the 0 value problem by making your expression look like:
floor(random()*6+0.5)+1
// should produce integers from 1 through 7 inclusive.
From your description, I think you have more than just one Triggers condition pulsing. Stick with pulsing just the
device_695
is TRUE condition for 1 second, repeating every 60 seconds. I don't think you need any other conditions in Triggers.And looking at everything you've shown us, it seems like it SHOULD be working at this point. If not, the reason is not obvious to me. You may have to poke around in the REACTOR.LOG to see what's happening (or isn't) and when. Make sure all your Rules are
Enabled
! -
ANDing a pulse output with an Interval is not going to work as expected. You are trying, in effect, to synchronize two asynchronous events. You'll never get it. Remove the Interval condition. The pulse serves the purpose on its own that you're trying to get the Interval to perform.
-
Thanks guys. OK I have removed the interval and just have the trigger that the virtual switch must be true and I have a pulse for 1 second and to repeat every 60 seconds, just for testing, I'll set this to a longer time later.
I have also updated the expression with the new one to get rid of 0.
I have also changed the Reactions to directly set the colours of the light rather than calling the Global Reactions to do it.
It seems to be working, however there seem to be something strange going on with pulses and repeats ?
When the break count reaches zero the random number in the expression is changing quickly through 3 different numbers, which is weird.
Also if you set the pulse to say 15 seconds and the repeat to 60 seconds it's not behaving as I would expect ?
In this case when the break counter reaches zero the expression number changes to a different number, it then changes to a pulse counter for 15 seconds and when that reaches zero the expression number changes again.
I only expected it to change the expression number when the repeat count down from 60 seconds reaches zero not also when the pulse counter reaches zero.
Is this a bug or am I not understanding things correctly?
Thanks
-
Each change in the edge of the pulse necessarily causes a re-evaluation of the rule because the condition state may change, which in turn may change the state of the parent groups/containers. So the sequence of what you will see is: pulse true -> reevaluation -> rule set -> pulse delay -> pulse false/break start -> reevaluation -> rule reset -> break delay -> break end/pulse true -> reevaluation -> rule set ... etc...
Since your actions only run when the rule sets, you still only get one set per pulse; the change in the random value has no effect in any other evaluation.
-
...and I believe the only way to alter that arrangement (not that there's anything WRONG with how it's currently operating!), would be to affirmatively evaluate the random number using an expression tucked into the first step of your Set Reaction:
[Set Variable] [chooseColor] [ ${{ floor ( random ( ) * 6 + 0.5 ) + 1 }} ]
Of course, for this setup to work, your
chooseColor
expression would have to be blank (otherwise, assignment doesn't work). I'm 99% confident that assigning the variable value at the outset of Set Reaction would indeed get it there in time for the subsequent case-by-case Group Constraints to utilize it as desired, but honestly I have not tested such a scenario. Worth trying, if your OCD doesn't like all those "extra" random values happening, LOL! -
This is also correct (a Set Variable can be used, and will evaluate/set before the groups -- in order shown, basically). In fact, this is the way I would do it for myself, for the very reason @LibraSun recommends: it stabilizes the value, and would do so in circumstances where the usage is more complex and the debugging would be made more difficult by the rapid changes otherwise.
EDIT/NOTA BENE: A bit of a trap here was discovered later. Be sure to read this later post. The recommended action for this purpose/implementation is to not use a Set Variable action to choose a random value. The linked post explains why.
Not that it much matters, but the random expression can also just be written as
floor( random() * 6 + 1 )
(ever so slightly optimized). -
Thanks for the further suggestions.
I have made the "ChooseColour" expression empty and at the top of the Set Reactions I now have this:
The random number now only changes the once upon each repeat count down and the rule summary card now looks like this:
Its working but not reliably as the colour does not change on the light after every repeat count down. Sometimes it just stays on the previous colour that it was.
I have checked each Group Constraint action for each of the different colours and when pressing the Play button on each of them the LED strip does change to that correct colour.
And at other times the light seems to get stuck on one colour for a long time and many cycles, even though the rule is still generating numbers and then after a while it starts changing colours again, so it seems laggy.
Here is an example of how each Group Constraint looks:
-
As of this stage, there's nothing to prevent the same color from repeating 2, 3, ... infinite times. Such is the nature of random numbers. Was it one of your prerequisites that the color always change from what it was the previous cycle? Of course, that could occasionally lead to a ping-pong of %(#fb1004)[red], %(#0bf913)[green], %(#fb1004)[red], %(#0bf913)[green], %(#fb1004)[red], %(#0bf913)[green], .... which you may also find objectionable.
-
Also turn off the "Force re-evaluation of expressions" checkbox. You don't need that in this circumstance (since the use of the variable comes after the set explicitly), and it may even get in the way.
-
OK... wait up... apology here. Since conditions in reactions are a new feature, even I am not completely steeped in their particular behaviors, and limitations, and I just had a "but wait..." moment.
All conditions are evaluated at the same time. The group constraints are evaluated at the same time as the triggers. So, while the reaction's groups will run in sequence, the constraint result is determined before the reaction is run, and therefore doing the Set Variable action in the reaction has no effect on the then-current run of the reaction. That is, even though the reaction may Set Variable to a new random number, the constraints have already been evaluated using the previous value of the variable (what is was before the Set Variable action). So this would definitely account for the "lag" that @cw-kid is observing, because the value set by Set Variable on one run of the set reaction won't be used until the next time the set reaction runs.
And it's still the case that random numbers are not guaranteed to repeat or even be uniformly distributed over a small (less than several million, perhaps?) sample
So... setting your random number in the "Expressions" section of the rule, rather than by using a Set Variable action, is probably a better implementation for this purpose (at least, will be easier to follow/debug).
-
-
OK understood I will change the expression back to how it was and remove the set variable in the set reaction area.
I will increase the trigger repeat to 5 minutes and test it one evening when its dark outside.
Ideally I'd like for a different colour each time to be selected, but I guess the expression for the random numbers could select the same number again and therefore the colour would not change for that cycle.
-
Alternatively, you could randomize the color selection itself (not just limited to the 4-5 RGB choices you have now). More variety at the expense of slightly more complicated MSR expressions... but with a net savings in the number of Group Constraints required (just one instead of N for N colors).
