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.
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'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
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).

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!

MQTTController 24050
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.

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.

This was working well for a long time but I noticed today its not working now.
Looking in the MSR log after I ran a reaction in one of my rules I just saw this:

[Was anyone else using this method to have Lua code run on your Vera hub being called via an MSR reaction ? Does it still work for you?
Thanks
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?

Reactor build 22274
ALL USERS -- IMPORTANT: If you are upgrading from any version earlier than 22256, please read the advisories and prerequisites for that build, below.
- HubitatController: Fix too-aggressive caching of entities that makes entity names too "sticky" when device name or label is changed on hub. Note that a particularity of Hubitat, unlike most other hubs currently supported, requires a soft restart of either the controller instance (using
sys_system.restart
on the HubitatController's system entity) or a restart of Reactor to "see" the rename (Hubitat does not send an event when a device is renamed, so Reactor can't know). - HassController: Bless Hass to 2022.9.7

Reactor build 22291
ALL USERS -- IMPORTANT: If you are upgrading from any version earlier than 22256, please read the advisories and prerequisites for that build, below.
- HubitatController: Breaking change: Devices that use HE's PressureMeasurement capability will now report pressure on
pressure_sensor.value
rather than the genericvalue_sensor.value
. I'm not sure this is widely used if at all, so I chose to just make the breaking change rather than deprecate and hold on to the old behavior for months. - PR 0000283: Reactions Editor: allow drag-drop between groups. This still has some minor issues, but these are due to limitations/defects in jquery-ui (so we'll have to live with them for now).
- PR 0000334: Docs, fix an error in the example expression for metadata.
- HubitatController: Implement polling as a replacement for Hubitat's Z-Wave Poller app, which is widely reported to not work well (the author's own experience corroborates these reports). Polling is only needed for legacy Z-Wave devices that do not support instant status or some equivalent (hail, etc.) that Hubitat understands. [docs]
- DynamicGroupController: the
include_entity
andexclude_entity
selectors now can use a regular expression to match entity canonical IDs. [docs] - InfluxFeed: New advanced attribute handling key
skip_null
to suppress export of null measurement values; [docs] - Fix a sync issue in the UI when deleting entities that previously required a hard refresh of the browser.
- UI: Fixed alignment of icons and buttons for large items in the Alerts widget (Status page).
- Documentation: Updated documentation on building Controllers, and provided new example code (WhiteBITController).
- HassController: Tighten capabilities for voltage, current, energy, power, and humidity sensor types. If you have automations using temperature or humidity sensors in Hass, please make sure your conditions use the
temperature_sensor.value
orhumidity_sensor.value
attributes, and not the genericvalue_sensor.value
attribute -- this generic attribute is now deprecated and will be removed from a future release. - HassController: Bless Hass to 2022.10.4
MQTTController build 22291
NOTE: This version requires Reactor version 22291 or higher.
- Add optional default value in topic substitutions. That is, the substitution string
%flavor:chocolate%
would insert the word chocolate if flavor was not defined in the entity configuration. - Template
owntracks_in_region
adds auser
field that can be set if your Owntracks needs it. The Owntracks topic is/owntracks/user/deviceid
, so theuser
field should be set in your entity configuration (withtopic
andregionName
to whatever is in thatuser
portion of the topic (e.g. if your Owntracks publishesowntracks/fred/fredsphone
thentopic
should be set tofredsphone
anduser
should be set tofred
). - Code cleanup and sync with Controller base class updates.

Reactor build 22293
ALL USERS -- IMPORTANT: If you are upgrading from any version earlier than 22256, please read the advisories and prerequisites for that build, below.
- PR 0000337: Condition with "sustained for" less than X seconds malfunctions (triggers immediately).
- PR 0000336: Fix group error indication not clearing when creating new group in a reaction (global or rule-based).
- Fix an error in the translation string for "sustained for" options when the "less than X seconds" form is used (was showing incorrectly in rule status view human-readable form).
- VirtualEntityController: scheduling of HTTP requests can now be done at specific times via the
at
setting for the request (an alternative tointerval
). [docs] - VirtualEntityController: the
quiet_failure
flag now accepts either a boolean value or integer; if boolean true, notifications are never sent for failed HTTP requests. If numeric, a notification is sent only after that number of requests has failed. [docs]

Reactor build 22302
ALL USERS -- IMPORTANT: If you are upgrading from any version earlier than 22256, please read the advisories and prerequisites for that build, below.
- UI/Status: Running Reactions widget now has "stop" button to terminate a running reaction (caveat operator).
- UI/Status: Tighten the display up a bit (remove excess whitespace).
- UI/Status: Fix alerts list that can overflow its container horizontally, causing a confusing display with multiple scoll bars.
- UI/Rule Editor: An notice/badge is now shown for collapsed sections that are not empty (i.e. when content is hidden).
- Fix condition operator "is EMPTY" (and its negated partner) on array type operand (only) was incorrectly reporting not empty in some circumstances.
- Additional UI embellishments for condition (triggers/constraints) and action (reactions) drag-drop. Still some limitations/inconsistencies/bugs in jquery-ui (which provides the drag/drop/sort implementation). If you can't get your object exactly where you want it, drop it close (i.e. into the group you want it in), then drag it again to its final position within the group.
- Action logging from all controllers now uses INFO level logging rather than forced logging (this is mostly a help to me because I separately log warning and higher priority in my test and home configurations so I can more clearly see errors -- it removes noise from that).

- UI/Rules/Reactions: the changes operator should not be available in constraints (changes is an event, and constraints are static, not event-driven).
- UI/Rules Editor: enforce minimum size for condition type menu (tidier layout).
- UI/Reaction Editor: improve field layout, prevent fields from pushing controls out of container, enforce minimum size for action type menu (tidier layout).

parameter to be either string (property name) or number (property/configuration parameter ID). This should improve usability for this action. - Store property ID in metadata for
x_zwave_values
attributes. - Improve "first guess" device support for many devices when Z-Wave JS is still running interviews and Reactor comes up (i.e. when data from Z-Wave JS about devices is incomplete).
- Improve device support for multiple Fibaro, Aeotec, Everspring devices.
- Improve manufacturer/device support for Remotec, Poly-Control, Danalock, Zipato, Nortek, NEO, Minoston (EVA Logik).
MQTTController 33326
NOTE: This version requires Reactor build 22306 or higher.
- Allow templates to be stored in individual files in a
config/mqtt_templates
subdirectory. This should improve users' configuration management for community-contributed templates. - Additional error checking in install script.
- Implement entity deadmarking like other controllers.
- Improve entity initialization/resilience to isolated configuration problems.
- Incorporate some device template fixes from @therealdb (with gratitude for his ongoing contributions).
- Support for deterministic updating of attributes on a topic by using a new/alternate array-based configuration syntax. [docs]
- Support for
requires
key in templates to facilitate user-feedback when a template is used but a configuration value required by the template it not provided by the user.

Reactor build 22337
ALL USERS -- IMPORTANT: If you are upgrading from any version earlier than 22256, please read the advisories and prerequisites for that build, below.
- Rules UI: Improved detection in UI (or more correctly, notification from core to UI) of "trouble" on rules.
- HassController: reconfigure entities on HA version change; support for person, weather, number, button, sun.
- HTTPAPI: API requests are now logged by default.
- HTTPAPI: A malformed
monitored_entities
configuration will no longer prevent theperform
API request from completing. - HassController: Bless Hass to 2022.11.5
-
Reactor build 22349
NOTE: If you get missing entity errors from your rules when you first start this version, don't panic. Just wait a few seconds and then restart Reactor; it should then start clean.
IMPORTANT: The bare-metal distributions no longer include package dependencies pre-installed. It is therefore critical that you install/update dependencies every time you upgrade by running
npm run deps
in the Reactor install directory (for Linux users; Windows users please refer to the installation documentation. This advisory does not apply to docker-based installs — Reactor docker images always include package dependencies pre-installed.- Expressions:
isNaN()
now returns false when passednull
. This is now different from JavaScript, whereparseFloat(null)/parseInt(null)
returnNaN
, butisNaN(null)
(oddly, IMO) returns true. - Fix an error in Group class implementation that was causing spurious errors from DynamicGroupController after a member entity was deleted or purged.
- VeraController: Improve detection of UV sensor child devices registered as GenericSensor device type and having LightSensor1/CurrentLevel state variable when LightSensor1 isn't even a declared service for the type (i.e. a mess). This applies specifically to Aeotec Multi-Sensor 6 devices on 7.32beta4, but may apply to other devices/firmware.
- EzloController: Sound sensors are now handled with Reactor value_sensor capability.
- EzloController: Guard against missing item enumerated in data for a device (data inconsistency in Ezlo API's returned device data).
- UI Entities List: UI now stores the last 10 actions and their parameters, and restores the parameters when an action is repeated.
- UI Entities List: Action parameter default values for certain types are now provided correctly (some types would come up blank even though a non-blank default was provided in the parameter definition).
- HassController: Bless Hass to 2022.12.6
- i18n: Improve messages for Rules/Predicates when dependent objects are missing.
- Improvements from the 22343 silent release (see below).
MQTTController build 22350
- Improve handling of
x_mqtt_device.online
attribute for templates that have custom LWT event.
- Expressions:
-
Reactor build 23010
- Stop Reaction action now allows you to stop the current/running reaction. This is intended to be used in constrained groups, where a match to the constraints may stop the reaction to prevent it from doing anything else.
- New
ev_charger
system capability. - Reaction Editor: Fix incorrect storage type for boolean arguments affecting some controllers.
- HassController: Bless Hass to 2023.1.2
MQTTController build 23010
- Fix spurious message when stopping MQTTController instance.
ZWaveJSController build 23011
- Fix a possible runtime error during node configuration if the target node isn't yet fully ready.
- Support for iblinds V3.
-
Reactor build 23028
- UI/Rules Editor: Collapsed sections now change the color of the "hidden content" badge -- red if the hidden content contains an error that needs to be corrected before save, green if it contains modified conditions or actions, and info blue (as before) if no errors and unmodified. No badge is shown if the section is empty (as before). The badge icon has been changed to a crossed eye.
- Docs: Add Portainer installation instructions: https://reactor.toggledbits.com/docs/Installation-docker-portainer/
- EzloController: If there are too many consecutive timeouts on requests to the hub, recycle the hub connection.
- HassController: Bless Hass to 2023.1.7
-
Reactor build 23049
- Rule and Reaction Editors: Use fixed "helper" for drag/drop to circumvent limitations in jQuery-UI causing odd restrictions and side-effects when dragging large objects (like HTTP Request actions). It's not as cool-looking, but function over form is required here.
- Docs: Provide installation link for community-supplied HassOS add-on; thank you to mrw298 for this.
- HubitatController: Do not automatically select the Hub Information device for health probes; the new Hub Information v3 operates differently from previous versions and now is longer usable for health probes. A device will be chosen at random unless the
probe_device
config is set. [docs] - HassController: Bless Hass to 2023.2.5
-
Reactor build 23063
- Reaction Editor (UI): restore wide fields in HTTP Request action; injection from changes in 23049.
- Reaction Editor (UI): fix detection of substitution in some cases that would cause single-action "try" button to not be disabled when a substitution was in the action's parameters (substitution isn't performed on single-action try).
- Entities Page: Action dialog now warns that substitution isn't performed in that tool (launching an action from entity detail panel).
- HassController: support for humidifier/dehumidifier (domain/service and device class, respectively).
- VirtualEntityController: Fix an error in config check that was not allowing underscore (
_
) in entity IDs. - VirtualEntityController: Enforce
x_virtualentity.set_attribute
parameters more aggressively (better error message when not provided). - VirtualEntityController: Fix an error in
x_virtualentity.set_attribute
that would cause the HTTP API to not give a response when the action completed. - I18n: Rework the loading of locale settings files, their relation to the node or browser locale, and the configurable overrides. Reactor will now use the requested locale (host config, browser config/URL, Reactor config) even if a translation file is not available for it. This places the burden on JS' native Intl, which is ample, and reduces some complexity in Reactor's model.
- HassController: Bless Hass to 2023.3.1
ZWaveJSController build 23063
- Command class
Sound Switch
now maps tochime
capability (Aeotec Siren 6, others) - Support multi-step action implementations (e.g.
chime.play
needs to set two values sequentially (volume then sound).
-
Reactor build 23078
- Fix loading of local capabilities definitions broken in a previous build.
- HassController: Bless Hass to 2023.3.5
-
Reactor build 23114
- Conditions: add
is NOT TRUE
andis NOT FALSE
operators. Theis NOT TRUE
operator (for example) is unlike theis FALSE
operator in that, if the tested value isnull
, theis NOT TRUE
operator result would be true, while theis FALSE
operator result would be false. This distinction facilitates some tests where it may be desirable to handlenull
as equivalent to eithertrue
orfalse
without having to provide an additional, separateis NULL
condition (and possibly an enclosing OR group). - DynamicGroupController: document group actions; this makes it an official feature (was experimental).
- Engine/Rule: Clean up a misspelled method name.
- InfluxFeed docs: update supported and recommended versions. [doc]
- HubitatController: Tweak reconnect timing decay (allow for longer decay when hub cannot be contacted for an extended period).
- Reactions: Clarify what "Disabled" means in the constraints of a Group action (incl. Repeat...While) of a reaction. It does not disable the actions in the group. The disable flag applies to the constraint conditions only, having the same effect as it would on rule-based triggers and constraints (i.e. it becomes as if the constraint conditions do not exist). [docs] and [docs]
- HassController: Bless Hass to 2023.4.6
- Conditions: add
-
MQTTController 23135
- In action payload, force conversion of all data types to string for "raw" output, rather than assuming result of expression is a string (although docs say to do that, it's just too easy to omit, and too easy to change it so the requirement is moot).
- Add
parameter: name
value form to action payload definition to draw payload value from the named parameter without the need to use anexpr
ession (this follows the implementation of action definitions in other Controller instances as well). That is, you can specify, for example,parameter: level
instead of usingexpr: parameters.level
(assuming the parameter value requires no scaling or other modifications to be compatible with the device). [docs]

Reactor Build 23171
NOTE: This build includes fixes made in a prior silent release (where the change(s) affected only one user).
DEPRECATION NOTICE: Support for versions of Home Assistant prior to 2022.5.3 will be removed on the next build. These older versions may continue to operate successfully with HassController going forward, but I will not address/fix issues for them.
- PR 0000356: Fix an issue where a rule with multiple sunrise/sunset conditions using the between operator chooses the first condition's before/after constraints rather than its own (i.e. it was choosing the control states from the first row rather than the current row).
- SystemController: the deprecated
suninfo.sun_angle
attribute is now removed (its replacement issuninfo.elevation
). - HubitatController: Hub variables can now be set up to 1024 characters with hub firmware 2.3.5.135 and above; for earlier firmware, the limit is 255 characters. The length limit is enforced by the hub, not HubitatController.
- HassController: Bless Hass to 2023.6.2
-
Reactor build 23196 (latest and stable branches)
NOTICE: As announced in the release note for the previous build (23171), Home Assistant versions earlier than 2022.5.3 are no longer supported.
- Introduce a maximum delay in the write-back of certain storage containers (e.g. that used for expressions).
- Docs: fix an error in an example on the How-To: Expressions with Entities page.
- HassController: Bless Hass to 2023.7.2
-
Reactor build 23218
- Improve the initialization of new global variables so they don't show "not yet evaluated" until a non-null value is set (null is a valid evaluation result and should remove the "not yet").
- Expressions: improve the display of non-printing characters in the expression editor's "current value" display (they now display as Unicode escape sequences).
- i18n: Fix init of localized weekday names when most recent Sunday occurs in prior month (caused, for example, incorrect weekday checkbox labels in Weekday conditions; cosmetic only, no operational effect).
- SystemController: for Reactor update, include update branch, version, and commit as attributes on system entity.
- Entities page: New Copy Attributes button in entity detail copies all attribute values to the clipboard.
- HassController: Bless Hass to 2023.8.0
-
Reactor Build 23242
- Rules Editor: Fixed an issue where a condition option change to the duration operator with no change to duration value may not be saved.
- HassController: Add mapping for
proximity
domain (tovalue_sensor
). - HassController: Bless Hass to 2023.8.2
