Need to ask, have thougth about this since the move from Rector to MSR I think.
What is the difference between putting constraints under trigger groups, like this
23b4a249-3292-41cd-9927-7f49c9bf1d07-image.pngCompared to this similar rule, but the time limits is under contraints instead?
ee596c9f-f52b-4a39-9605-f5932f3d9ed5-image.pngI think the Constraints parts in manual is still to be done because I can only find in the chapter menu, but it is not mentioned anywhere else.

EDIT: 2022.07.01
So I will try to remake this thread to some kind of guide for future use, or in worst case a documentation of my failure. At least that could also be useful for letting someone know what didn't work...
I have zero knowledge of programming, so every time I need to edit a config file in HomeAssistant or similar it requires a good portion of googletime and read, re-reading instructions.
Also is english not my native language, so bear with me.Two goals!
1: Get MSR to take notice (and then actions of course) of pressed buttons on remotes.
2: Document what I do in hope I can help someone else in the future.I will use a Fibaro Keyfob as described below, but what I understand from Togglebits answers most type of remotes should work in similar ways.
Original thread:
Fibaro Keyfob support in MSR? (thru Hassio & Z-wave JS)
HiI just bought a Fibaro Keyfob FGKF-601 and plan to give this to my son so he can control some stuff in his own room. Primary some lightning and Sonos, maybe blinds in the future.
As the noob I am it will, of course, not work as I expected.👶🏻
The remote handle 1x, 2x, 3x clicks per button (six of them) and "release button"
I thought that it would appear like some "scene controller" in HA and that I could make Rules in MSR depending on what scene-entety that was triggered.
So is not the case, and if that is because of HA, Z-wave JS or MSR I have no idea.
I found a HA Blueprint that works in HA, but of course I would prefer to keep all automation in MSR.
I guess a workaround could be using HA virtual switches "Helpers" that I suppose will come up as an on/off trigger in MSR, but before going this way I would like to check with the wisdom of your guys if there is a better way of doing this.I am using:
MSR 22168 on windows.
Home Assistant Core 2022.6.7
Home Assistant Supervisor 2022.05.3
Home Assistant OS 7.6
Z-Wave JS version: 0.1.64 -

Running MSR 22123 in Docker container and trying to use "condition must occur after" option. Will update to the latest build and log a PR if needed, but wanted to poll first if anyone is using this option successfully?
I have the following rules:
Screenshot 2022-06-28 at 15.18.50.png
Notification activity connected to "Alarm disabled" rule did not trigger. I also did another test with quite simple rules and that didn't work either (FWIIW - when observing that test in "real-time", I didn't see any timer running on the second rule while the first rule was true).
As said, before going further with debug/logs, nice to know if someone is using this option/restriction (successfully).

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. -
Before updating to 22178 there was a primary value echoed in MQTTControllers echo capability, can I tell the controller which value to put as primary from HASS sensors after this change as it now is null? or is it a bug?
I have not changed the

Hi!
I have a system that I consider pretty stable, running in a VM Ubuntu 20.04, it has some communication failures, but I think more by HE than by the OS/MSR.
I'm thinking of taking the next step to get more advantages from the system, and I'm thinking of using InfluxDB maybe for queries or to extend rules.
The question is, I would like practical examples of what really helps to install InfluxDB? What would you be doing that really makes a difference with this installation? Can you post examples of features or information?
Thanks

Hi Everyone,
MSR had a docker image file naming convention change, and I am not exactly sure how to swap the image out. I'm sure it's not rocket science, I've just never done this before.
I am using a Synology NAS, and under the environment tab there is a "REACTOR_IMAGE" variable. Can I just change the image name to the new image naming convention and clear the container, or should I launch a new container and populate the volume location from the previous reactor?
Thanks in advance

Please can anyone give me advice on a cheap way to run MSR (both initial cost and ongoing electricity cost). I currently run it on my QNAP network drive (which works very well incidentally). However, this draws a constant 35Watts (£90/yr @ 30p/kWh) and given the recent rise in fuel costs I am evaluating the best way forwards. Note, I only really need to turn my QNAP on for an hour a week to back-up my computer data. I understand that MSR can run on a Raspberry PI, but I am not competent with Linux! Thanks.
-
I have made good progress setting up a new Raspberry PI 4 with the latest OS (64bit) and latest Reactor images in Docker. However I am not able to copy my configuraiton files (.yml) and reactor reactions over. I am not yet that confident with linux commands, so I have tired to drag and drop the files from a USB drive to the working folders in my new Raspberry PI. I am getting a popup in the GUI stating 'The file operation was completed with errors.' and Errors occured: "rule-xxxxxx.json: Error opening file "/home/pi/reactor/....................................json":Permission denied.
I suspect it's something to do with permissions?
Is there an easier way to copy my configuration over??

Hello All -
I'm gradually moving away from Vera to Home Assistant. I've recently gotten the Alexa and Mini Media Player setup in Home Assistant and everything is working well.
Is there a way to call this service from Reactor? My goal is to send TTS requests to HAAS upon certain events within Reactor (e.g. "Front Door Opened")

The application I installed runs Java and opens the console to send the information.
Has anyone tried to bring the information into the MSR? Or even a VeraPlus?
Thanks.

It appears that in the Manual, under Management>Network Status is for Reactor on Vera. Is the Internet check functionality available with MSR and if so is there updated instructions? I do see a variable reactor_system.internet.ok but the value is null.
I am looking for a way to check for internet status with MSR before installing an extra app on a hub to get the information.Synology Docker latest-22149

Windows Server 2022 Build 20348
Nodejs v16.14.0
Currently running Reactor (Multi-hub) stable-22119-ae7212f
Linked to Hass 2022.0.5.4 (on a different box)
Windows server is dedicated to MSR and doesn't do anything else.I'd like to upgrade to 22136 to take advantage of the SSL feature added recently, and also to bring my current version of Hass into the 'supported' column with MSR.
Following the instructions here: link text, section "Upgrade Windows Bare Metal"
Stop Reactor Service Extract the zip, overwriting the reactor folder in c:\reactor\reactor There is no package-lock.json file so I skip that. Run "npm install --no-save --omit dev"Next step is to start the service. I start the service and it immediately stops. "Windows could not start the Reactor service on Local Computer. Error 1067: The process terminated unexpectedly".
Tried rebooting, service won't stay running.
I suspect I'm missing something, it's probably obvious but I've not been able to figure it out.
I rolled back the reactor folder version (Windows Shadow copies) and then the service starts fine.
Anyone else running Windows and know what I'm missing?

Hello Patrick,
On the status page rule history is there any adjustably on length of the history shown? I had an occasion where it would have been helpful to go a few notches farther back than it does as currently configured.
I don't know if this is a log parser or if it is a separate smaller data set. If it is a log parser, any chance for maybe something like a "more" button?
Thanks,
Mike -

For the life of me I cannot figure this out.
when I run the du -hs command (from the host) for the mapped volume I get 25M
(/home/seth/ReactorConfig maps to /var/reactor)Inside the container I ran du -hs for each of the folders that the ui is complaining about
/opt/reactor = 71.2M
/var/reactor/storage = 2.9M
/var/reactor/logs = 17.6MIf I run df on the docker container I get this. Disk space is not critical

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. -

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.
