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.
I have a case where I'm trying to send a MQTT message similar to the example below:
Topic: pool/set { "command": 4, "value": 1, "time": 0, "interval": 0 }But I need to set "value" so that it is an integer between 20-30. I thought I could use "dimming" capability here, but there's probably a better way. @therealdb ?
(Using userauth-24120-7745fb8d build in Docker)
There's a filtering capability for entities in reactor.yaml, but I have a case where I don't want to filter an entity altogether, but would like to "throttle" it, as this sensor updates every 1-2 seconds (and therefore unnecessarily takes database space).
Sensor data comes through home assistant, and seems that there's no way to control update interval at that end.
So I'm asking if plugin configuration could support limiting/throttling updates for certain entities?
Good morning,
Hopefully this is a simple request. I believe the title should be self explanatory, but just in case, I'll elaborate.
On the status tab, we all get alerts if a device state has changed (i.e., been removed). This is great, but when I go into the entities tab, I have to either type the name (or a portion thereof) of the device that has been removed, or I need to scroll all the way through my list of devices. This is infrequent, however, yesterday I replaced a failed device in my HAAS environment. It was a Z-Wave switch that is added using the Smart Scan QR code, which normally makes it pretty easy. However, some devices don't get fully added the first time around, so it'll add multiple entries into HAAS until it get's the S2 authentication correct and the device fully included. It did this to me yesterday, and I had to delete the incomplete device from my installation. MSR still saw the entities of that failed/incomplete switch entity, and I was left with 8 alerts and entities that I needed to removed.
It's not a huge problem, but this example was just one switch. If I were to add replace multiple devices at once, this could be a bit more annoying to remove. It would be helpful to be able to filter by removed entities, so I can find them all quickly and delete them. Continuing that train of thought, it would also be useful to have check boxes next to those lines, and perhaps do a select all type of thing so they could be deleted in one mouse click.
@toggledbits I have finally finished up the SSL using Let's Encrypt and am getting this from my local browser:

I know you said in the docs that using a self-signed could lead to this but this is LE.
Hi @toggledbits,
I don't know if I'm the only one, so I'm reporting here first instead of opening a bug.
Basically, with the latest 2-3 updates of Reactor and MQTTController, after a restart previous statuses are lost (for both Virtual and MQTT entities), until they're restored.
It's particularly annoying for Virtual Entities, because I have to set them all over again (I've coded some defaults at startup if the values are empty, but sometimes these are not the correct values before the update).
Not easy to reproduce, and logs are gone, but the first time I tought it was me hallucinating, the second one didn't bother too much, after the third I realized it's something not coming from me.
the behavior could be seen in this screenshot:
1c007fc2-4dbc-4476-8dca-e5aa111e4642-image.png
Any hint is appreciated.
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'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,
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
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).

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:

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 ?
Reactor (Multi-System/Multi-Hub) Announcements
-
Build 21281
- In prior versions, a reference to a variable (rule or global) that does not exist would cause an alert and "fail soft" by returning null. This (old) behavior actually hides such errors and makes them more difficult to locate, and generally speaking, you shouldn't be referring to things that don't exist. The new behavior is to throw an exception during the evaluation, which will more clearly highlight the error and make it easier to find and correct. If for some reason you still need the old behavior, you can set
deprecated_undefined_global_soft_fail
to true in theengine
section ofreactor.yaml
, and such errors will soft-fail as before. The old behavior is deprecated, however, and will be removed in a few months. - PR 0000260: Fix failure of HTTP Request (really underlying variable handling) to notice change in array of objects returned by request.
- PR 0000259: Need to more clearly highlight variables with errors in the expression editor. Failing expressions now receive orange highlight bars.
- Add
typeof()
expression function. - Additional localization changes.
- New HTTP API additions: add alert, dismiss alert

Build 21286
- InfluxFeed now supports InfluxDB version 1.8+ and 2.0. InfluxDB versions prior to 1.8 are no longer supported. Please see the documentation for configuration details, as the configuration requirements for 1.x and 2.0 are different. Users of InfluxFeed also need to
npm update --nosave
if they are bare-metal installed. - The behavior of rules when throttled has been improved. Note, however, that any time a rule is throttled, events could be missed (e.g. if a light that is a dependency of a rule is turned on and back off quickly when throttled, the rule may not "see" the on event).
- Ongoing documentation updates.
- Bless Hass to 2021.10.4
- First version to contain a foreign language translation, Swedish! Thank you @Crille for your work on the translation and helping me get localization working.

Build 21336
If you have been with Reactor since before 21075 (March 15, 2021), your
logging.yaml
configuration may have a relative path in thename
keys of the default streams (e.g../logs/reactor.log
). These must be changed to just a simple filename (e.g.reactor.log
). Reactor has been warning you at startup (in the log file) about this since 21075, if it applies to you (i.e. your logging config uses a relative path), but if you haven't seen it, you may not have changed it. The time to check it/change it is now, because the next version of Reactor that is released will not allow pathnames (relative or absolute) in this key, and will not run if it finds one.- DynamicGroupController: map actions in known capabilities of selected objects, so that groups can perform actions on their members. For example, performing the
power_switch.off
action on a group will do so on all of its members that support that action. - Logging: Fix support of log streams so that subsystems declaring their own log streams operate correctly; fix a number of long-standing annoyances in the configuration and handling (no changes to user configuration requirements except as noted above); improved "panic mode" (used when no configured stream is writable).
- Dashboard: improved layout for
string_sensor
capability objects. - HubitatController: Bless firmware 2.3.0.113
- HubitatController: extend recent additions to capabilities (
string_sensor
) to the mode and HSM entities. Reduce reliance on the custom/hub-specific extension capability. - HubitatController: New "type guessing", experimental, to try to reduce effort for this hub in particular in determining device types and primary attributes. This is a work in progress (but then, what isn't?).
- PR 0000271: Fix a missing localization in rule detail panel, operator in group titles (reported by @Crille).
- Improvements to
rpi-install.sh
script to handle upgrade of systemd script when upgrading nodejs. - A number of internal fixes related to linting of the code.
- As always, a number of documentation updates.

Build 21349
If you grabbed this release before 06:00 on 16-Dec-2021 UTC, please grab it again and reinstall. There was an issue with the next-day rollover computing sunset times that I fixed in-line.
- Make sure client API uses port for WebSocket connection, so the UI works when on a proxy or tunnel.
- Global reactions now support action groups with constraints.
- EzloController: Additional energy capabilities on certain devices/items.
- InfluxFeed: Fix an error in parsing the configuration for
select_capability
with attributes listed. - The
suninfo
capability (used by the Sun Information entityreactor_system>sun
) has been expanded to include theelevation
andazimuth
of the sun's current position. Theelevation
is given in degrees above the horizon. Theazimuth
is given in degrees clockwise from North (compass direction). - The
suninfo
attributesun_angle
is now deprecated and will be removed from a future release. If you are using it in conditions, please switch to usingelevation
, which is a better representation of the sun's position. - A bug in the computation of
day_length
(in hours) in the extreme latitudes (i.e. where the sun does not cross the horizon at certain times of year) is fixed. During periods during in which the sun never rises, day length will be 0; during periods in which the sun never sets, it will be 24. Similarly,period
could give incorrect results and will now report correctly or the conditions.

Build 21351
Users are advised only to upgrade to this release if they are affected by an issue related to the changes below; specifically, if you are not a user of Hubitat and you do not use constraints in rules or reactions, there is no need to upgrade to this release.
- HubitatController: Aggressive management of the event websocket connection, with additional diagnostic output by default.
- HubitatController: Fix error in setup of task queue (part of attempt to control pace of outgoing actions).
- Constraints: Loosen rules on condition options for constraints in rules (a stateful context), as opposed to those in global reactions (which are stateless).
- Docs: Improve description of the
time()
function so that it's clear it can convert time strings (in ISO 8601 format).
-
Build 21356
- PR 0000278: Fix an untranslated string in rule reaction name generator.
- SystemController: publish alert data on entity, making it available for use in conditions.
- EzloController: Fix bug where cancelling a house mode change causes the mode name to get the ID rather than the name.
- EzloController: support for additional items (power-related and seismicity).
- EzloController: remove
power_switch
as automatic capability on dimmable lights; not all Ezlo dimmable lights publishswitch
items, so use the presence of theswitch
item on a device as the trigger to extendpower_switch
. - EzloController: Fix an error thrown when handling certain extension items (e.g.
electric_meter_kwh
, only on some devices). - HubitatController: Fix handling of TamperAlert capability.
- HubitatController: Add config
warn_unresponsive
(boolean) to turn off (when set false) warnings for quiet channel reconnects. - HubitatController: Support for extension capabilities where an attribute like
current
is provided without a matching capability. - VeraController: Log slow responses from hub (helps troubleshooting bottlenecks).
- Engine: Fix error in restore of running tasks across a reboot.
- PR 0000279: Fix an error that leaves Variable Value conditions in global reaction constraints with no variable list from which to choose (should list global variables).
HubitatController - Additional Notes
The connection health probes have some new settings, described in the docs, to make the health checks as reliable as possible and eliminate false positives in the quiet channel checks. Primary among these is recognition of a device under control of the Hub Information (community) driver. I recommend that Hubitat users install this driver (and create a device that uses the driver, and publish that device through Maker API), as it has some predictable behaviors that make it perfect for health checks, and it gives you access to other information about the hub you may find useful in Reactor. This is not required; just recommended.
