I need a handful of victims volunteers to help test previews of the next build of Reactor. A long-standing request was for "a simple login mechanism," but in practice, adding user authentication and competent access control turned out to be a pretty big project with a lot of big changes on both server and client sides. It's a bit more than I'm comfortable testing myself and springing out to everyone at once, so I'd like to work with a small group to put it through "sea trials."
Major changes/features include:
User authentication with hashed password storage; User group configuration with application restriction (admin, dashboard, API); Detailed control over API access, with user- and token-based authentication/authorization; Improvements to the HTTPS service; Improvements to UI coordination with the core for Rules and Reactions.If this sounds like something you'd like to help with, drop me a reply here in this thread or privately.
Good morning,
So Home Assistant decided to change the default weather home format that I've been using for the past year and a half. I had two Global Expressions set up to pull the high and low temp forecast for the day. Now it's pulling null values.
094c9205-cc9e-4fcc-ac4f-1bf54acea299-image.png
In the dev tools, it now uses a new service (Weather. get forecasts), plural, where the old Weather.get forecast is depreciated and now longer functions.
8c7a1fcc-dd3f-4268-a0b7-29d542f86adc-image.png
It shows a templow field, and a temperature field, which I presume is the forecast high.
When I head back over to MSR, I'm having a hard time finding those values in the Entities tab.

MSR: latest-24057-e9add9f5
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.Hey Patrick, I recently have been noticing that MSR has been acting up ie. it's been needing restarts and has been slow. I began trouble shooting by looking at the logs and have noticed the following errors for a lot of entities. I thought maybe a simple reboot of RPi was needed and I kept seeing the same errors in the system logs. I am oddly enough not seeing these same errors in the MSR logs. Where things started getting weird is whenever I rebooted MSR it wouldn't come back online .I would have to restart the RPi then it would come back online. I just restarted MSR again to capture logs and it restarted fine, so I guess its good for now? I think this is more or so a corrupted SD card issue rather a MSR issue but well being troubleshooting from here. The SD card is about 1-2 years old.
Apologies if this post is everywhere, I cannot consistently recreate any oddities that are happening, that's what is leading me to believe my SD is going bad.
PS: If anyone knows how to diagnose a corrupt SD card please chime in.

This system has been running flawlessly year after year for the time changes twice a year literally since MSR came out so I was caught off-guard when this happened this morning.
Time in MSR browser is EST, time on RPi is local time (DST).

I've rebooted the RPi I've restarted MSR after double-checking the time on the RPi. Used a completely different browser to eliminate any caching concerns. Double-checked MSR reactor.yamla5f23151-d691-4343-8499-8e77a55528e5-image.png
What am I missing here @toggledbits ?
Hi,
For the standard capabilities MSR sends both a value record and a units record to InfluxDB. The latter I would like not to send as they are not really any use for me and it will reduce the number of records send to my InfluxDB.
Is there a quick way to do this with a filter_entities line like: *>units?
Or do I have to update all capabilities to read like this:
power_sensor:
attributes:
value: true
Cheers Rene
I'm trying to replicate this
wallbox_set_number.PNG
into a MQTT entity where I could set a number with a min and max value.
I can't find a standard capability that fits or any documentation on local MQTT capabilities and the only post on the forum mentioning local MQTT capabilities is this post, is it even possible in current release?
My trial and error work in local_mqtt_capabilities.yaml isn't much to show as it's just a copy of mqtt_capabilities.yaml with changed names and then I got stuck.
Any guidance, examples, documentation, future feature request or denial would be much appreciated, thanks!

Hi guys,
I've recently bought a new Govee outdoor permanent lights set, and I love it. WAF is pretty high, and the product is good quality. I hope to never run lights in the front of the house.
This new addition has found me searching for something to control these lights, locally. Govee has officials remote and LAN APIs and Home Assistant has it supported, but some undocumented stuff that's integrated into an Homebridge plugin that seems very promising. Without this plugin, my playlist is orchestrated via the cloud and that makes zero sense.
In the past I got some inspiration from plugins running on other platforms and Homebridge seems one of the most active. I could map its devices via HomeKit-local on HA, but I've decommissioned Homebridge years ago when we settled to Alexa (and I want to stay simple), so I had an idea: why get inspiration and rewrite things, when you could write an Homebridge adapter that could load any Homebridge plugin and run them natively under Reactor (MSR)?
I'm not sure if that's viable or made any sense, so I'm posting here to get feedback, encouragement and your thoughts. Anyone could be potentially interested in such a thing?
Hi- looking for a hint in where to start. My goal is to set a PIN code in a zwave kwikset lock triggered in a rule.
The device isn’t exposing methods to help. The x-hass.call-service looks promising, but what would the service name be?
Plan b would be send the zwave controller a config command- I don’t see any way to explicitly send a command through JS Zwave in my environment.
Running reactor bare metal. JS Zwave is running as an add on inside HASS OS.
Any tips are appreciated.
Hey crew, I'm trying to use MSR to control the RGB values of a Z-Wave bulb in Home Assistant.
Problem I'm running into - I would like to use 'rgb_color.set' to control this, but it doesn't work, instead it always passes the values '255,255,255' to HA no matter what values I enter within MSR.
More notes and examples below - I'm wondering if this is a formatting issue that I'm missing? Thanks for any help!
NOTES FROM TROUBLESHOOTING:
'rgb_color.set_rgb' works successfully, which seems strange. You'd think they would both be affected I've tried a couple different formats, like adding quotes, adding/removing spaces between the RGB values, nothing has fixed it.EXAMPLES:
When I use 'rgb_color.set_rgb', the values successfully carry over to Home Assistant:

But when I use 'rgb_color.set', the values DO NOT successfully carry over to Home Assistant:

Core 2024.2.5 Supervisor 2024.02.1 Operating System 12.0Hi,
I’m running MSR in a docker container on my Synology Nas. The container is automatically updated using watchtower weekly.
It was working. Now, after the update, Reactor webpage is able to load, and all indications on the webpage suggests that it is working fine. However, the updated statuses from Home Assistant and Vera are not being detected.
The container logs show the following error

Noticed right away last night at closing time that the open/close had become inverted with the update to v23326.
It wasn't an awful bit of lift to change all Reactions to reflect the change but it was jarring initially when everything flipped.
Are there release notes on that version, @toggledbits ?
Installing latest-24052-d039d560 and I did a dumb thing: moving too quickly, I deleted package.json instead of package-lock.json because the latter didn't exist.
Ran the installer script - but in the wrong directory so I moved package.json manually.
Everything has come back EXCEPT for my MQTT Cloud OwnTracks entities. They're erroring because of this:

reactor.yaml is fine, all MQTT configs exactly as they should be.
The folder mqtt_templates is present:

The file it says is "unreadable" is present and hasn't changed (today's date is the Changed date because I did a quick nonsense edit to see that it was not corrupted in some way).

I was using this method here by @therealdb to run Lua Code from MSR on my Vera Plus but it seems to have stopped working now.
Its the one where you uploaded a file called VeraScenes.lua to your Vera hub and then you could call functions of that file to run particular bits of Lua code from an MSR reaction etc.

Hello all, I am trying to create a timer in home assistant that will run for the amount of seconds left in the day. To do so, my plan is to create an expression in MSR where I subtract the seconds elapsed in the day from 86400. From there I will run a service command to start the timer for the seconds I calculated in the expression. I have tried using the time () function in MSR but cannot figure out a way to just get the time elapsed today and in seconds.
I really like these new widgets in MSR status page! Still, at least for the history-widgets, a filtering capability would be helpful. I have quite a many rules running with short intervals and they are clogging these lists making it harder to see "more interesting" ones...
Can file a request in Mantis, if there's wider support for the idea?
Hey Patrick, was wondering you could add the option to be able to disable each individual action. Often when I am testing new actions for my rules I have to copy the rule and then edit it, then once I am happy I have to copy the new actions back to the original rule. It also would be useful for situations when I need to disable certain actions for whatever reason, ie a device not working correctly. I know I can copy complete rules over and make whatever edits and then disable the old rule but it sometimes makes for a lot of different version of a rule that I am testing.
Good morning,
I'm running Home Assistant with MSR, and I do my automation strictly within MSR. I have some basic notifications set up, for instance, when my dishwasher has completed it's cycle, it'll send my iPhone a push notification via the x_haas.system.call_service --> notify.mobile_iphone action.
I saw in the Home Assistant documentation that you can push Actionable Notifications. The example they use if there is motion detection, but no one is home, you can sound an alarm or silence an alarm.
Can this be done from MSR and not directly in Home Assistant? I'd like to do something more of an acknowledgement, like if a door or window is left open, to have a way to get notified, but acknowledge that it is open, and not send any more notifications. If not acknowledged, the notification will continue every 5 or 10 minutes until the door or window is closed, or the notification is acknowledged. This would be useful in situations where I may have a slider door open for some fresh air, so it was deliberate, versus an entry door that didn't latch when entering or leaving the house.
Expression to randomly run Global Reactions ?
-
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).
