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.

Reactor 22328
ALL USERS -- IMPORTANT: If you are upgrading from any version earlier than 22256, please read the advisories and prerequisites for that build, below.
- The
baseurl
config key/value is no longer required. It is used only in exceptional circumstances. It is now commented out in default configurations (dist-config/reactor.yaml
), and setting it is no longer required as an installation step. Users configuring their systems to use HTTPS access to the Reactor UI should, instead of usingbaseurl: https://...
, setuse_tls: true
in thereactor
section of their configuration. - Improve messages in Run Reaction actions when there is an error starting the reaction.
- DynamicGroupController: make sure change in group name in configuration is always applied at startup.
- HassController: implementation for
device_tracker
service to location capability. - HassController: since HA appears to provide conversion, enable all color modes if any is supported.
- HassController: Add support for new
xy_color
capability. - HassController: Allow YAML form service data in
call_service
actions. The service data can now be formatted as YAML or JSON. The former is the default unless{
is the first character in the field, to preserve compatibility with existing actions using JSON data. - Add
xy_color
system capability. - Fix a startup issue on Windows.

ZWaveJSController 22323
NOTE: This version requires Reactor build 22314 or higher.
- Allow
zwave_device.set_config
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
-
ZWaveJSController build 23254
- Some versions of iBlinds v3 report CC 38 (Multilevel Switch) and some report 106 (Window Covering), no obvious way to tell if there's a config parameter that controls this, or if it's a firmware change (firmware versions report same even when command class is different). Update handles both based on what's available (this is the first time I've seen a 106-reporter in the wild).
-
MQTTController build 23254
- Improve recovery time when broker is starting up, accepts our connection, but then refuses subscription (i.e. it's not fully ready).
-
Reactor build 23302
- Expressions: functions
asin()
,acos()
,atan()
, andatan2()
, and the reserved wordpi
(lowercase), are now supported (identical to their JavaScript equivalents). - Update the documentation for migrating (importing) rules from Reactor for Vera (the Vera Reactor Plugin).
- HassController: All use of
x_hass.call_service
(the entity-based service call action) now uses thetarget
field to specify theentity_id
, rather than the old form which embedded theentity_id
in thedata
field. - HassController: The
x_hass_system.call_service
(system-global service call action) has been extended to allow the user to enter atarget
field for service calls that benefit from it. It should be noted, however, that thex_hass.call_service
action on a Reactor entity (mapping a HA entity) should be used in preference to the system-global service call whenever possible, as changes in ID by HA will break the system-global call without warning (entity-based service call actions will simply use the new ID given by HA). - HassController: Bless Hass to 2023.10.5
- Expressions: functions

Reactor Build 23338
DEPRECATION WARNING (bare-metal installs only): all nodejs versions earlier than 18 are now end-of-life; these versions will not be supported for Reactor after 1-Mar-2024. You should upgrade nodejs as soon as possible. The minimum supported version is now 18.18, but for longevity, upgrading to the current LTS version is recommended. Users of Reactor running in docker containers are not affected, as the image always embeds a supported LTS version of nodejs (that is, no action is required for docker users).
- Expressions: Update lexpjs to fix degenerate case of
case
with singlewhen
and anelse
(which is better written as anif...then...else
, but shouldn't throw an error in any case). - CallMeBot: the built-in CallMeBot notifier is now deprecated. There are no plans to remove it right now, but it will not receive future updates. Use HTTP Request actions directly in Reactions instead.
- Reduce the frequency of reminder alerts when an upgrade is available.
