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:
Reactor latest-24190-bd310acc, Bare-metal on Fedora WaveJSController [0.1.23326] Home Assistant: 2024.7.0I 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.
Good morning,
I'm going through my ruleset this morning, trying to get away from haas>blahblablah entries and completely migrate them all to zwavejs>xx-0 entries where possible.
I have 3 Aeon MultiSensor 6 devices in my home, all USB powered.
When using Haas entries, I see an entry for hass>binary_sensor_guest_bedroom_multisensor_home_security_motion_detection, and motion_sensor.state (primary)
Screenshot 2024-07-25 at 8.25.53 AM.png
Under ZwaveJS, this entry appears to be missing.

I'm fetching certain data five past every hour, but I would like to do it closer to the hour, e.g. 1 or 2 past (but not at the hour).
I experimented with the following rule that almost works (triggers also at the hour which is not the intention). Any advice for a solution?
It would be nice to have an ability to bookmark a direct link to a dashboard item. In my case I would use this feature to access a virtual switch directly.
Hi @toggledbits
Would you please consider adding an extra sublevel in the rulesets?
I have grouped my rules in rooms/ areas. This works great for me, but I would also like to group rules for the same functionality (in a room). This would make the rules easier to find and name.
Please let me know if this is an option. 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 this device attached to my system, but use a DSC panel. If you need testers to move forward, I'm happy to help.
I'm curious what your thinking the use case is for this. I currently have it integrated into HomeAssistant, and it works fine for the most part. The one thing I can't do is bypass zones, which I would like to have the ability to do.
Are you looking at more direct control for the panel, as opposed to having to jump through HA (or another system) first?
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.I have the following ruleset which I though had been working well until this morning when I noticed it's not.
I've put four weather conditions in an in array and one of them is the current weather condition - but the rule is not true. Now the cloud cover percentage is not yet met but this is an or rule so as long as the "Current Conditions" are met then it should go true.
What's the obvious thing I'm missing here? (I've tried spaces/no spaces in the in and no difference.)
Hi,
Running the latest MSR latest-24152-3455578a with the latest HA 2024.6.1. When trying to call a service I get the following in the MSR logs. Is this a version mismatch? I am not seeing anything in the HA logs.

Some background
I'm trying to integrate a Zigbee device into the MSR using zigbee2mqtt bridge and MQTTController. The device in question is a cheap mood light that has following properties that I'd like to control:
I'v already managed to get the switch part working and can toggle the light on/off. Also the brightness value is mapped back to MSR. In zigbee2mqtt it has a value range from 0 to 254, so this the reason for the expression:
expr: 'payload.brightness / 254'Here's the entity definition (don't know whether the type should be something else than the Switch)
zigbee-lidl-mood-light: name: 'Lidl Mood Light' friendly_name: 'Mood Light' type: Switch uses_template: lidl-moodlightAnd the corresponding template (NOTE: rgb_color has not been defined in this example):
lidl-moodlight: init: "zigbee2mqtt/%friendly_name%/get/state" query: "zigbee2mqtt/%friendly_name%/get/state" capabilities: - power_switch - toggle - dimming primary_attribute: power_switch.state events: "zigbee2mqtt/%friendly_name%": "power_switch.state": json_payload: true expr: 'upper(payload.state) == "ON"' "dimming.level": json_payload: true expr: 'payload.brightness / 254' actions: power_switch: "on": topic: "zigbee2mqtt/%friendly_name%/set/state" payload: 'ON' "off": topic: "zigbee2mqtt/%friendly_name%/set/state" payload: 'OFF' set: topic: "zigbee2mqtt/%friendly_name%/set/state" payload: expr: "parameters.state ? 'ON' : 'OFF'" type: raw toggle: topic: "zigbee2mqtt/%friendly_name%/set/state" payload: 'TOGGLE'The problem
In order to control the brightness or the RGB color values, I would have send a JSON payload in corresponding actions. But I have no idea how to define it in the template. The reason why the switch part is working is that the zigbee2mqtt accepts also plain ON / OFF / TOGGLE string payloads in that case.
But the brightness should be controlled with the following payload:
{"brightness": 196}And the RGB color like:
{"color":{"rgb":"46,102,150"}}Here's the link for the documentation (the Exposes part defines the messages).
So how should I define the JSON payload for example for the dimming action? It definitely should be some sort of expressions since I have to map the MSR real value (0...1) to (0...254) for the zigbee2mqtt.
actions: dimming: set: topic: "zigbee2mqtt/%friendly_name%/set" payload: expr: ????? type: jsonAnother problem is the RGB value. I could use the rgb_color capability for the setting but the problem is that the zigbee2mqtt only reports the current color in hue/saturation or xy coordinates.
Here's an example of published message after setting the color:
Topic: zigbee2mqtt/Mood Light QoS: 0 { "brightness":254, "color":{ "hue":240, "saturation":100, "x":0.1355, "y":0.0399 }, "color_mode":"xy", "color_temp":574, "linkquality":96, "state":"ON" }I would have to map those values back to RGB, but is it even possible with existing constructs in MQTTController's templates?
Help would be appreciated @toggledbits

That's probably more appropriate to post on Mantis for @toggledbits, but since I know there's at least @Crille publishing templates, my intent with this post is to open a broader discussion.
Long story short: I'm starting to slowly add new template for Shelly Plus and I noticed I'll end up with a dozen more templates, all similar but simply different in trivial details, all sharing a large amount of code and all needing special cares when fixing bugs/adding features (as the latest wifi_status addition).
So, I'm wondering if it's time to start thinking of some sort of inheritance in templates, where I could just create a generic shelly_gen1 and use it as a base for shelly_relay, and this be used as the base for shelly_relay_power and so on.
I could probably achieve this with some sort of scripting on my side to generate templates via code, but maybe there's a better way of doing this, or it's already on the radar.
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.
[Solution: Reactor 24115 is not compatible with MQTTController > 24120]
Reactor latest-24115 bare metal.
All MQTT entities stop working after updating MQTTController to 24142, downgrade to 24120 and they are back. Templates and configured entities has not been changed between versions.
I'm not sure if uses_template should be replaced by ìnclude in entity configuration in reactor.yaml but I guess not, I've tried it and it did not do any difference.
I have not tried to update Reactor to userauth version.
Example entity in reactor.yaml that uses MQTTController included template:
entities: "takflakt_kallare": name: "Takfläkt källare" topic: "Källartemp" unit: "" uses_template: tasmota_generic_relay init: "cmnd/%topic%/POWER%unit%"Any hints? Do you need more info, please let me know.
Log from startup:
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:
![](https://github.com/fluidicon.png)
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 🙂
Is the following config correct?
- id: time_series name: "Out temp" capabilities: temperature_sensor: attributes: value: model: time series entity: "hass>sensor_outdoor_temperature" attribute: "temperature_sensor.value" interval: 5 # minutes retention: 20 # minutes aggregate: wma primary_attribute: temperature_sensor.value type: ValueSensorSpecifically, is "depth" directive needed/mandatory here? Reason I'm asking is that I'm not getting a "final" value in MSR, only debug values are shown:
temperature_sensor.units=null temperature_sensor.value=null x_virtualentity.last_request_time=null x_virtualentity.request_failures=null x_virtualentity.template=null x_virtualentity.timeseries_debug=[{"time":1716537360000,"value":22.1},{"time":1716537660000,"value":22},{"time":1716537960000,"value":22},{"time":1716538260000,"value":21.9},{"time":1716538560000,"value":22}]Good morning,
I apologize if this subject has been covered. I did try the search, but I'm not coming up with any topics on my issue.
I'm running userauth-24137-57b41335, bare metal installation on Fedora 39 Server.
I have a rule set up to turn the Eco mode off on my Nest Thermostat when the thermostat is set to Away (Rule State: Away Mode), the user (Driver) presence in my car changes to true, and the destination is set to home.
93804f7c-62d6-42c0-ae04-ff602011a6fd-image.png
This works fine for most days, where I'm headed home from work (commute is about 45 minutes). What I don't want it to do is set change it to Eco mode if my ETA is more than an hour.
There is a sensor/entity for Time to Arrival when the Destination is set. What it appears to provide is the Time OF arrival/ETA, not time until arrival. If it was Time until Arrival, and it was a numeric value, I could simply test if the value is less than 60 and be done with it.
I pulled up the history through Home Assistant for my morning commute and this appears to be what it is providing.
c2a32739-c84f-4a05-95d9-73793ed818f5-image.png
So what I need to do is to do a calculation of the the ETA from the sensor value and subtract the current time, and get a value in minutes that I can determine if it's less than 60.
I believe I can do this with the local expression, but I don't see anything for the system time, or local time. Also, do the local expressions update themselves if the sensors do?
Good morning,
I'm running userauth-24137-57b41335 on Fedora 39, bare metal installation.
ZWaveJSController 0.1.23254
Home Assistant:
Core, 2024.5.3 Supervisor, 2024.05.1 Operating System, 12.3 Frontend, 20240501.1I'm trying to troubleshoot a Dynamic Group Controller and notification alert that I've set up for low battery level.
In my Reactor.config, I have the following lines:
name: "Dynamic Group Controller" implementation: DynamicGroupController config: groups: "zwavejs_dead": select: - include_group: "zwavejs" filter_expression: "entity?.attributes?.zwave_device?.status == 3" group_actions: true "low_battery": select: - include_capability: battery_power filter_expression: > entity.attributes.battery_power.level < 0.35The idea here is that I should only have members of this group that have a battery level below 35%. When I go into Entities, I show a whole slew of devices, none of which have a battery level below the threshold.
a77e445b-ab78-4752-a624-3c4117f34f90-image.png
I also tried setting up a rule to generate a push notification once a day, but with all of the group members, I've had to disable the rule. I believe I have it set up correctly, but I'm not 100% sure. I want the notification to tell me the battery level for that device as well.

Can anyone point to me what I may have misconfigured to get these results?
I should also note I'm only interested in ZWaveJS devices. It's showing me battery status for my iPad and car as well, which I don't need it to send me.
Having issues with a shell command
-
I am having issues with a shell command. I installed ps4-waker on to the same Debian box as MSR. Its a utility to turn on the Playstation4 console as Sony block 3rd party remotes like Harmony from doing it.
I have two rules setup in MSR, one that turns on the PS4 when the associated Harmony Activity is starting (Vera Harmony plugin).
The shell command that is sent in this rule is just:
ps4-waker
This works most of the time OK, but sometimes for some reason the PS4 doesn't turn on every time.
I then had another rule and I wanted to see if I could extract some information? from the ps4-waker utility about the status of the PS4. The shell command for this one is:
ps4-waker check
In the rule I get "null"
This is the one that isn't working currently. In the log it says:
<Engine:ERR> Engine#1 reaction PS4 Waker Check<SET> step 0 error executing shell `ps4-waker check': Error: Command failed: ps4-waker check
If I run this command directly in terminal it works fine every time:
As a quick test I changed the shell command to this one and that does work OK
ps4-waker --help
This is the --help output of the switches and options:
Thanks

-
Nothing really of substance. That's pretty much all the output from the command. If it just fails randomly and occasionally, it's probably a device communications issue.
-
No this "ps4-waker check" command I cannot get working at all with MSR. It always shows an error.
The other command "ps4-waker" does work most of the time.
-
Could it be that "check" returns a non-zero exit code depending on its result? Many utilities do this. A non-zero exit code would be interpreted as an error by MSR.
-
I'm not sure, when I run the check command in terminal it always outputs something like this:
{ "type": "device", "statusLine": "620 Server Standby", "statusCode": "620", "status": "Standby", "host-id": "C863F1400EF1", "host-type": "PS4", "host-name": "PS4-806", "host-request-port": "997", "device-discovery-protocol-version": "00020020", "system-version": "08520011", "address": "192.168.0.201" }
statusline "620 Server Standby" means the PS4 is currently in sleep mode.
Think it says "200 OK" when the PS4 is turned on and running.
I was wondering if I could extract that device power status using MSR and then maybe send it to a virtual device in Vera / Home Remote etc.
Also that check command can tell you which app is currently opened on the PS4 and also possibly which game is currently being played.
But its not required I guess, I just wanted to see if it could be done somehow.
The main thing is the PS4 is turned on when the other MSR rule detects that my Harmony activity for the PS4 has started and that at the moment seems to be working OK.
-
Try running the command this way (yourself, in a shell, not in MSR):
ps4-waker check ; echo $?
This will display the exit status of the command after it runs. You may need to run this repeatedly, under various different expectations of status, including testing when the device is disconnected/powered off, to get a complete feel for what shell exit status
ps4-waker
is returning under various conditions. Anything other than 0 is going to be a problem (it looks like an error). Using non-zero exit codes is a very common way for some utilities to return their status quickly so that shell scripts can make quick decisions without having to parse other data (like your output), so it's very likely that under some condition this script is working fine but returning non-zero. If that's the case, you're going to need a wrapper script to "deaden" the exit code.I've also just pushed up a new build to latest that has additional logging for this action, so you can try that as well and see if it gives any new information. I would not upgrade to latest in lieu of doing the above, as I cannot display the exit code (at least, not that I've found, as yet), so the above test is still a necessary important step. This will simply add stderr output to the logging (although I suspect the prior error messages already contain all the relevant output -- this is a safety/assurance that we're seeing it).
-
When the Playstation is in sleep mode:
When the Playstation is turned on and running:
Your right the MSR rule is working and returning data only when the Playstation is turned on:
I thought it wasn't working when turned on but clearly it now is.
So because the exit code is a 1 when the Playstation is turned off that is why the MSR rule then does not return any data?
Thanks
-
That's correct. Any non-zero is an error. I will add a checkbox to the action to (optionally) ignore the exit code, and make that available in a build later today.
-
That's great thank you.
Next problem how to extract the data from the in rule expression and split out the PS4's power status out in to another expression ?
I guess either "statusLine" or "statusCode" could be used.
(string) "{\n \"type\": \"device\",\n \"statusLine\": \"200 Ok\",\n \"statusCode\": \"200\",\n \"status\": \"Ok\",\n \"host-id\": \"C863F1400EF1\",\n \"host-type\": \"PS4\",\n \"host-name\": \"PS4-806\",\n \"host-request-port\": \"997\",\n \"device-discovery-protocol-version\": \"00020020\",\n \"system-version\": \"08520011\",\n \"running-app-name\": \"Concrete Genie\",\n \"running-app-titleid\": \"CUSA11875\",\n \"address\": \"192.168.0.201\"\n}\n"
And you can see there is also a "running-app-name" Concrete Genie is the game being played currently.
-
Use another expression to put that string through the
parseJSON()
function and it will turn it into an object you can then pick the data out of. -
@toggledbits said in Having issues with a shell command:
parseJSON()
Like this ?
Contents of the expression "ps4wakerparse"
Last value:(object) {"type":"device","statusLine":"200 Ok","statusCode":"200","status":"Ok","host-id":"C863F1400EF1","host-type":"PS4","host-name":"PS4-806","host-request-port":"997","device-discovery-protocol-version":"00020020","system-version":"08520011","running-app-name":"Concrete Genie","running-app-titleid":"CUSA11875","address":"192.168.0.201"}
-
I don't know what the first expression is/was, but the second one is correct and has parsed the value correctly. You can now refer to data in the object via
ps4wakerparse.statusCode
for example. For names that contain special characters, likehost-id
, you need to use the alternate (quoted identifier) syntaxps4wakerparse["host-id"]
-
Seems to be working and pulling out the required data:
The first expression named "ps4wakercheck" is the inital output of the shell command "ps4-waker check".
-
OK. I see that it's not consistently clearing the error from some prior usage on
ps4wakercheck
, that's what's confusing/odd, so I've fixed that for today's build as well (PR 0000235). -
By the way, it's much more efficient to use expressions in
ps4powerstatus
andps4runningapp
than it is to use Set Variable actions to set them. That's kind of doing it the hard way. -
For the value in the expression "ps4powerstatus" its either going to be:
200 = ON
620 = OFFHow can I have another expression that will translate those code numbers in to human text that I can then send to Vera / Home Remote ?
Thanks

Understood I have changed it and removed the set variable actions:
EDIT:
Don't think it likes that, I get these error when I press the "Reset" button on the rule.
