Hi!
I get this message when I'm on the status tab:
System Configuration Check
The time on this system and on the Reactor host are significantly different. This may be due to incorrect system configuration on either or both. Please check the configuration of both systems. The host reports 2025-04-01T15:29:29.252Z; browser reports 2025-04-01T15:29:40.528Z; difference 11.276 seconds.
I have MSR installed as a docker on my Home Assistant Blue / Hardkernel ODROID-N2/N2+. MSR version is latest-25082-3c348de6.
HA versions are:
Core 2025.3.4
Supervisor 2025.03.4
Operating System 15.1
I have restarted HA as well as MSR multiple times. This message didn´t show two weeks ago. Don´t know if it have anything to do with the latest MSR version.
Do anyone know what I can try?
Thanks in advance!

I have a very strange situation, where if InfluxDB restarts, other containers may fail when restarting at the same time (under not easy to understand circumstances), and InfluxDB remains unreachable (and these containers crashes). I need to reboot these containers in an exact order, after rebooting InfluxDB.
While I understand what's going on, I need a way to reliable determine that InfluxDB is not reachable and these containers are not reachable, in order to identify this situation and manually check what's going on - and, maybe, in the future, automatically restart them if needed.
So, I was looking at HTTP Request action, but I need to capture the HTTP response code, instead of the response (becase if ping is OK, InfluxDB will reply with a 204), and, potentially, a way to programmatically detect that it's failing to get the response.
While I could write a custom HTTP controller for this or a custom HTTP virtual device, I was wondering if this is somewhat on you roadmap @toggledbits
Thanks!
Hi ,
I'm on
-Reactor (Multi-hub) latest-25067-62e21a2d
-Docker on Synology NAS
-ZWaveJSUI 9.31.0.6c80945
Problem with ZwaveJSUI:
When I try to change color to a bulb RGBWW, it doesn't change to the RGB color and the bulb remains warm or cold white.
I tryed with Zipato RGBW Bulb V2 RGBWE2, Hank Bulb HKZW-RGB01, Aentec 6 A-ZWA002, so seems that it happens with all RGBWW bulb with reactor/zwavejsui.
I'm using from reator the entity action: "rgb_color.set" and "rgb_color.set_rgb".
After I send the reactor command, It changes in zwavejsui the rgb settings but doesn't put the white channel to "0", so the prevalent channel remains warm/cold White and the bulb doesn't change into the rgb color.
This is the status of the bulb in zwavejsui after "rgb_color.set" (235,33,33,) and the bulb is still warmWhite.
x_zwave_values.Color_Switch_currentColor={"warmWhite":204,"coldWhite":0,"red":235,"green":33,"blue":33}The "cold white" and "warm white" settings interfer with the rgb color settings.
Reactor can change bulb colors with rgb_color set — (value, ui8, 0x000000 to 0xffffff) or rgb_color set_rgb — (red, green, blue, all ui1, 0 to 255) but if warm or cold white
are not to "0", zwavejsui doesn't change them and I can't find a way to change into rgb or from rgb back to warm white.
So if I use from reactor: rgb_color set_rgb — (235,33,33) in zwavejsui I have
x_zwave_values.Color_Switch_targetColor={"red":235,"green":33,"blue":33} 14/03/2025, 16:43:57 - value updated Arg 0: └─commandClassName: Color Switch └─commandClass: 51 └─property: targetColor └─endpoint: 0 └─newValue └──red: 235 └──green: 33 └──blue: 33 └─prevValue └──red: 235 └──green: 33 └──blue: 33 └─propertyName: targetColor 14/03/2025, 16:43:57 - value updated Arg 0: └─commandClassName: Color Switch └─commandClass: 51 └─property: currentColor └─endpoint: 0 └─newValue └──warmWhite: 204 └──coldWhite: 0 └──red: 235 └──green: 33 └──blue: 33 └─prevValue └──warmWhite: 204 └──coldWhite: 0 └──red: 235 └──green: 33 └──blue: 33 └─propertyName: currentColorIn zwavejsui, the bulb changes rgb set but warm White remains to "204" and the bulb remais on warm White channel bacause is prevalent on rgb set.
x_zwave_values.Color_Switch_currentColor_0=204 x_zwave_values.Color_Switch_currentColor_1=0 x_zwave_values.Color_Switch_currentColor_2=235 x_zwave_values.Color_Switch_currentColor_3=33 x_zwave_values.Color_Switch_currentColor_4=33Is it possible to targetColor also for "warmWhite" and "coldWhite" and have something similar to this?
x_zwave_values.Color_Switch_targetColor={"warmWhite":0,"coldWhite":0,"red":235,"green":33,"blue":33}Thanks in advance.
Good day all,
I have a reaction set up, that I use for both troubleshooting and changing home modes when one of my family members either arrive or are leaving. I use the companion app for HAAS on our iPhones, and HAAS reports if the person associated with the iPhone enters or leaves the geofenced area around my home. I'm sure most MSR and HAAS users are familiar with this.
I use this rule set mainly as a condition for other rules, however, as part of troubleshooting, a notification is sent through HAAS to the companion app when the rule becomes true. The problem is that I'm getting notifications now for both arriving and departing simultaneously.

36903cdd-a87f-473b-82ef-af9ef96d3c44-image.png It used to work fine as intended. I'm not sure exactly when it changed, but now I'm getting two notifications when either of these conditions change.
Any idea what could be happening?
Edit:

I have the following yaml configuration in local_mqtt_devices file
x_mqtt_device: set_speed: arguments: speed: type: str topic: "command/%friendly_name%" payload: type: json expr: '{ "fan": parameters.speed }'While this works fine, I'm wondering how this could be changed to "fixed" parameters, as in this case "fan" only accepts "A", "Q" or a numeric value of 1-5?
MSR had been running fine, but I decided to follow the message to upgrade to 25067. Since the upgrade, I have received the message "Controller "<name>" (HubitatController hubitat2) could not be loaded at startup. Its ID is not unique." MSR throws the message on every restart. Has anyone else encountered this problem?
I am running MSR on a Raspberry Pi4 connecting to two Hubitat units over an OpenVPN tunnel. One C8 and a C8 Pro. Both are up-to-date. It appears that despite the error message that MSR may be operating properly.
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.Similarly as for local expressions, global expressions evaluate and update fine when getEntity(...) structure is used. However, at least when certain functions are in use, expressions do not update.
Consider the following test case:
Screenshot 2025-03-13 at 16.29.42.png
Even though auto-evaluation is active, value does not change (it changes only if that expression is manually run). MSR restarts do not help.
Screenshot 2025-03-13 at 16.31.43.png
Note: Tested using build 25067 on Docker. I have also a PR open (but couldn't now get details or PR number as my Mantis account was somehow expired?).
Trying to understand what cause a local expresssion to be evaluated. I have read the manual but I am still not clear about it. Using the test rule below, I can see in the log that the rule is being automatically evaluated every time the temperature entity is changing. That is great...
What I am trying to understand is why the expression is not evaluated based on time as well since the "case" statement has time dependencies.
Any help would be appreciated

If the global reaction does not have a group I don't get an error. I see a similar post on the forum about a Runtime Error when creating reactions but started a new thread as that appears to be solved.

I am trying to delete a global expression (gLightDelay) but for some strange reason, it comes back despite clicking the Delete this expression and Save Changes buttons.
I have not created a global expression for some times and just noticed this while doing some clean-up.
I have upgraded Reactor to 25067 from 25060 and the behaviour is still there. I have restarted Reactor (as well as restarting its container) and cleared the browser's cache several times without success.
Here's what the log shows.

Morning, experts. Hard on learning about the internet check script in MSR tools, I was wondering what suggestions anyone has about a local (i.e. non-internet dependent) notification method.
This was prompted by yesterday's fun and games with my ISP.
I've got the script Cronned and working properly but short of flashing a light on and off, I'm struggling to think of a way of alerting me (ideally to my phone)
I guess I could set up a Discord server at home, but that feels like overkill for a rare occasion. Any other suggestions?
TIA

Hi,
I'm trying to integrate the sonos-mqtt (https://sonos2mqtt.svrooij.io/) with the MSR and it's coming along nicely so far.
But cannot wrap my head around how to define custom capabilities in MQTT templates. I need this for the TTS announcements and similarly for the notification sounds where I would pass the sound file as parameter.
So this is what I have in the local_mqtt_devices.yaml
capabilities: x_sonos_announcement: attributes: actions: speak: arguments: text: type: string volume: type: int delay: type: intAnd this is the template:
templates: sonos-announcement: capabilities: - x_sonos_announcement actions: x_sonos_announcement: speak: topic: "sonos/cmd/speak" payload: expr: > { "text": parameters.text, "volume": parameters.volume, "delayMs": parameters.delay, "onlyWhenPlaying": false, "engine": "neural" } type: jsonSo the speak action should send something like this to topic sonos/cmd/speak
{ "text": "message goes here", "volume": 50, "delayMs": 100, "onlyWhenPlaying": false, "engine": "neural" }At startup the MSR seems to be quite unhappy with my configuration:
reactor | [latest-25016]2025-02-09T08:19:59.029Z <MQTTController:WARN> MQTTController#mqtt entity Entity#mqtt>sonos-announcement unable to configure capabilities [Array][ "x_sonos_announcement" ] reactor | i18n: missing fi-FI language string: Configuration for {0:q} is incomplete because the following requested capabilities are undefined: {1} reactor | i18n: missing fi-FI language string: Configuration for {0:q} has unrecognized capability {1:q} in actions reactor | Trace: Configuration for {0:q} is incomplete because the following requested capabilities are undefined: {1} reactor | at _T (/opt/reactor/server/lib/i18n.js:611:28) reactor | at AlertManager.addAlert (/opt/reactor/server/lib/AlertManager.js:125:25) reactor | at MQTTController.sendWarning (/opt/reactor/server/lib/Controller.js:627:30) reactor | at MQTTController.start (/var/reactor/ext/MQTTController/MQTTController.js:268:26) reactor | at async Promise.allSettled (index 0) Configuration for "sonos-announcement" has unrecognized capability "x_sonos_announcement" in actions Controller: MQTTController#mqtt Last 10:21:37 AM Configuration for "sonos-announcement" is incomplete because the following requested capabilities are undefined: x_sonos_announcement Controller: MQTTController#mqtt Last 10:21:37 AMThis is probably a pretty stupid question and the approach may not even work at all, but maybe someone or @toggledbits for sure, could point me to the right direction.
Basically the idea is to be able to send TTS messages from reactions using entity actions. I've previously used HTTP requests to Sonos HTTP API (https://hub.docker.com/r/chrisns/docker-node-sonos-http-api/) for the same functionality, but since moving to sonos-mqtt, I need a way to send the TTS notifications using MQTTController. Along with the actual message, volume and delay must also be parameterizable.

Hi, @toggledbits
I just noticed that following a reboot of my raspberry pi, some of the rules, that I was expecting to recover, are not catching up following a reboot. I have made a simple test rule (rule-m6rz6ol1) with only "after Date/time" as trigger and "turn on a lamp" as a set reaction. All my infrastructure is on the same board so Reactor, Hass, Zwavejs, ... are all rebooting.
Here is the sequence of the test case (All time converted to Zulu to match logs):
Rule "after Date/Time" set to 14:05:00z Shutdown on Raspberry Pi at 14:04:00z Power back up at 14:08:00z Rule overview shows true as of 14:08:14z waiting for 00:00:00 in GUIFrom the log I can see that MSR is picking up the rule and knows that the state of the rule has changed from false to true and tries to send the update to HASS but failed with websocket error.
Here is what I see from the log:
14:04:04z shutdown complete 14:08:08z Power up 14:08:13.111z websocket connection 14:08:15:323z Reaction to the light failed, Websocket not opened After there is a series of websocket connection attempt until 14:08:51z where it seemed to be really ready.Back in 2021 we had a discussion (https://smarthome.community/topic/700/solved-start-up?_=1738766986566) and you proposed to add a startup_delay:xxxx and startup_wait:xxxx parameter in the engine section of "reactor.yaml". When I try the startup_delay (this used to be a hard delay), the engine failed to start (I think). I then try the startup_wait:xxxx without any success. Since it wait for the connection status to be up to cancel the delay, it does not do anyting since Hass is reporting the socket up without really being up ( I think...).
Questions:
Did I figured it all wrong? should the startup_delay:xxxxx have worked? Any ideas?Here is the log:
OK now I am stuck. I did add the log but when I submit the editor complained saying that I am limited to 32767 characters. The log from the shutdown to the time the websocket is stable is about 300000 character long. What are my options?
Not a big issue simply a request if easily doable.
The MSR logs files inside the container are owned by root witch is fine however, the permissions are very restrictive. I do not know if there is something wrong with my installation but the logs permission are set to 222 (write only). Even if the docker volume is set for Read/Write the log files are retaining these values.
I go around the problem by doing a chmod 777 on all reactor logs but every time there is an MSR log rotation the permissions are set back to 222. So unless the permission are implemented in the container there is no permanent solution to this (that I know of).
I do not know much about Docker container so I do not know what is involved here.
Can the logfiles permission be simply chaged in the container to at least allow "other" read permission?
Could the MSR log rotation routine implement a chmod to set the permission?
Just a small anoyance
Thanks
@toggledbits In the MSR documentation, under Standard Capabilities, I noticed that the
button.since attribute was deprecated as of version 22256 and the metadata is the preferred way to access the last-modified time of an attribute.
Am I reading this right? Should I stop using it in my rules?
Thanks
When on my bare metal RPi with MSR I had a rule that ran every minute to check Internet status via a script in MSR called reactor_inet_check.sh
I've moved to containerized MSR and see in the instructions that this cannot be run from the container.
The script cannot run within the Reactor docker container. If you are using Reactor in a docker container, the script needs to be run by cron or an equivalent facility on the host system (e.g. some systems, like Synology NAS, have separate task managers that may be used to schedule the repeated execution of tasks such as this).
I've put a script on my container host that calls the reator_inet_check.sh script and it isn't erroring... but I still see the internet status within MSR as null.
Before I go diving down the rabbit hole... should this work?
My cronjob on the proxmox host:

Background: this is a Windows MSR install I've done for our local pool/amenity center just to run some fans and lights (not my daily driver at home). Install went perfectly fine.
Scenario: I want the lights to go on when it's dark enough (even if during a storm, not just after sunset) so I'm using solarRadiation from my weather station to drive that Trigger. Easy stuff.
Issue: sometimes, someone goes in the office and just starts flipping switches and the result can be lights turned on in the daytime or off at night. I'm trying to create a "catch-all" wherein if it is daytime and the lights somehow find their way ON, they will turn themselves back OFF.
I have the following Reaction built:
b30eab5b-5a14-4a3a-8c9a-47e3e7e53dc3-image.png
I also have this Reaction for opposite, ie the lights find themselves turned off after dark and they will turn themselves back on:
5c6946b1-297c-4eb1-9618-74820979df29-image.png
Here are my two rules:
288cba86-f941-4157-86d9-d8e7487905f7-image.png *NOTE that in my manual testing, ie I turn on the light switch at the incorrect time, when the solarRadiation level changes the Lights ON rule flags and shows as SET. On the next change of solarRadiation it goes back to reset again.
My expectation is that Lights OFF rule should see the lights are on, the solarRadiation is above the set limit, and turn them off. Instead, every other run, the ON rule moves to SET and then reset again on the following run.

Hi @toggledbits
I found this very old post that talked about a way to limit device reading to avoid the throttled problem, because it's not a question of logic, it's that the device actually sends a lot of information, in my case the NUT ups installed in HE.
https://smarthome.community/topic/687/flapping-device?_=1737652139854
It mentions engine section of reactor.yaml by setting update_rate_limit, but I looked in the current MSR documentation and I can't find this information, so I don't know if it's still valid, its effect and parameters.
My situation is simple, when I have a UPS problem the NUT is sending dozens of reports per second and then I have the throttled problem. The same rule applies when the power is normal.
This is the rule, and the parameter that fails is the Tripp Lite UPS status.

Hello -
Long time. Hope everyone is good.
I have a rule that looks at a number of temperature sensors around the house. It simply sends a general alert if any of them fall below their threshold. (A basic “House is too cold” alert for when we’re away)
Generally, this has worked well. But I was wondering if there’s a way to make the message somewhat dynamic without creating separate rules for each sensor.
E.g. “House is too cold due to Sump Temperature below 45 degrees.”
I thought I remember reading about someone doing this in the past but couldn’t find it.
Thanks for any ideas!

Build 22053
BREAKING CHANGE/FIX This version contains what may be a breaking change for some users. Some actions offer lists of predefined values (e.g.
media_source.setoffershdmi1,hdmi2, etc.). A bug in the Reaction editor was causing a numeric index value to be stored instead of the string value (i.e. it would store 0 rather thanhdmi1). The bug is now fixed, but any action like this previously created/edited may have had an invalid value stored in the rule or reaction to which it belongs, and this cannot be reliably automatically fixed, it generally requires user review. Most likely, these actions didn't work well for you anyway, because the erroneous numeric value would likely have given invalid results/behaviors/errors when attempted, and we just haven't noticed until now (they are fairly rarely-used actions, on the whole). The specific actions affected are:av_repeat.set_repeat,muting.set,media_source.set,hvac_control.set_mode,hvac_blower_unit.set_mode,hvac_blower_swing.set_mode,hvac_humidifier.set_moded,hvac_dehumidifier.set_mode,zwave_device.set_config. Hopefully this list helps you narrow down what, if any, of your rules/reactions may be affected. Just take the rule/reaction into the editor, fix the new correct value and save.- PR 0000308: Fix issue where delay action with substitition in delay may self-replace evaluated value in stored object.
- UI: Autogrow fields get more room for datalist controls.
- UI: Fix issue with some value lists incorrectly showing and storing index values rather than actual listed value; see BREAKING notice above.

-
Build 22069
Note: Only users of Hubitat hubs need to upgrade to this version, and then only if you previously upgraded to 22067.
- HubitatController: Fix a possible loss of attribute change across restarts of the hub (that is, when a value changes during a Hubitat restart but Reactor is not restarted).
-
Build 22080
- PR 0000311: Vera Scene controller entities missing attributes in new and exisitng rules
- PR 0000310: Dependent global variable may not update after editing parent.
- HubitatController: Because the HE events websocket passes all values as strings, the new fast-update process introduced in 22067 would change (for example) a previously-numeric attribute value to a string when updated by the hub. While this doesn't generally bother conditions or expressions, the type change affects InfluxFeed because InfluxDB cannot digest the type change. The data type declared by the hub during inventory is now stored and used to remap the events feed values to keep the data types consistent on the attributes. It must be noted, however, that the data types of extension attributes (
x_hubname_...) are driven by the hub, and are therefore not guaranteed by Reactor (types are guaranteed for Reactor-defined capabilities, e.g.dimming,value_sensor, etc.). Users exporting extension attributes into InfluxDB are advised to always use explicit type setting for those attributes in their InfluxFeed configuration. This advisory has been added to the documentation for InfluxFeed. - HubitatController: An inconsistency in the (HE) attribute names between their MediaPlayer and MusicPlayer capabilities with respect to transport state is now handled correctly, so that Reactor's native
av_transport.stateattribute shows a correct value regardless of which the device uses. - SystemController: Will now issue system alerts unconditionally when disk space becomes critical (unless disk space monitoring has been disabled by user configuration), in addition to the (previously available) values and flags on the
reactor_system>system(Reactor System) entity. It's also probably a good idea to add notifications (i.e. in your own rules) for such conditions raised by the system entity, if the user is not regularly looking at the Reactor UI. See the documentation for SystemController. - SystemController: A
dst(boolean) attribute has been added to thereactor_system>sun(Sun Information) entity; it will be true when Daylight Saving Time is in effect, false otherwise. - HassController: Fix
covercapability handling on non-positionable covers (e.g. garage doors). - Dashboard: New display for cover entities.

Build 22118 (latest and zwavejs) — PLEASE READ ALL ADVISORIES BELOW
NODEJS VERSION REQUIREMENT: As previously announced, nodejs versions below 16 are no longer supported as of 2022-Mar-31. Bare-metal users (only) will need to upgrade their nodejs to version 16 (the current LTS version) or higher. Bare-metal RPi users can use the install script to do this. Docker image users needn't concern themselves; the image is built with an approved version of nodejs.
NOTE: This release includes changes to package dependencies. Bare-metal users please run
npm install --no-save --omit devto resolve.IMPORTANT: This update includes some significant enhancements for entity tracking. On your first startup after upgrading, you will get a lot of alerts about new devices being discovered (i.e. existing devices are being noted as new) as the enhanced tracking learns what is "normal" for your system. This is expected behavior for this version on its first startup. Just clear the alerts and go on about your day. After that, you should only receive notices when new devices are added to a hub, or new hubs are configured in Reactor.
Remember to hard-refresh all browsers after upgrading and restarting.
- PR 0000316: Variable Value condition with substitution in operand may replace expression with value in saved rule.
- PR 0000315: Improve alert message when a Rule-based reaction fails.
- PR 0000314: Fix "self-subscribe" exceptions logged after creating new Rule with local expressions and a Variable Value condition (exceptions clear after restart of Reactor).
- PR 0000312: Expressions
getEntity()helper not listing or updating attributes correctly (fixed). - Raspberry Pi Install Script: Support for 64-bit installation on Raspbian Bullseye.
- Raspberry Pi Install Script: Can now be used to upgrade nodejs with a local (user-specific) install.
- UI: Faster core startup brings up the UI more quickly, and does not wait for controller startups, so a delay in a controller becoming ready (e.g. its associated hub is offline) will no longer delay the UI being available.
- UI: You can now add an SSL/TLS certificate and have the UI and API served over HTTPS (see How-To in documentation).
- New actions in
sys_systemcapability to tell a Controller instance to purge unused entities (i.e. that no longer exist on the hub but are still present in Reactor), delete an entity (from Reactor only, not from the hub/mesh/etc.), and rename an entity (in Reactor, not at the hub/mesh/etc.). - UI/Entity Picker: You can now move the entity picker by dragging its title bar.
- UI/Entity Picker: The name search field will now also match on entity IDs.
- UI/Reaction editor: Changing from a group or while to another reaction type while editing would leave the conditions behind (they should be removed); fixed.
- Expressions: lexpjs updated, adds
yday(day of year),isoweek(ISO-8601 week number) anddst(boolean) todateparts()function result. - Status: Controller Status widget now sorts down/failed controllers first.
- Docs: Added How-Tos for serving media files from Reactor's built-in web server and set up HTTPS for the UI.
- HassController: Bless Hass version 2022.4.7.
REMINDER: If you need to post an issue related to this (or any) version, please follow the posting guidelines.

Build 22123 (latest and zwavejs)
This version primarily addresses a formatting problem in error messages when certain conditions (triggers and constraints) take an error (e.g. an Entity Attribute condition references an entity that no longer exists). This is cosmetic/display only and has no operational impact, but I thought it important to make a new release for the fix because of the difficulty of troubleshooting conditions with the broken messages.
If you are upgrading to this version from any version earlier than 22118, please read the release notes for 22118 in the prior post above.

Build 22136
NEW: This version adds the availability of 64-bit ARM docker images. This is recommended for Raspberry Pi 4 users on Raspbian Bullseye (only; Raspbian Buster users should continue to use the armv7l image). The 64-bit ARM images also work (and are tested) on the NVIDIA Jetson Nano (2GB model tested, but should work for all).
NOTE TO ALL USERS, ESP. CURRENT DOCKER USERS: Starting June 1, 2022, the naming of all deployed packages and docker images will be changed to remove the "raspbian" or "generic" component of the name. For example. the
latest-raspbian-armv7ldocker image will be named simplylatest-armv7l, and thelatest-generic-amd64ZIP archive will be namedlatest-amd64. You will need to update your version upgrade procedures accordingly; users ofdocker-composewill need to make this change in their compose files.- Additional localization updates;

- Rule: make sure clear of trouble state (on startup) is saved if necessary (so UI updates properly without need to refresh).
- VeraController: Hack for variables named
sl_, which are the special Luup state variables that always send updates/call watches even when set to the same value they already have (all other state variables in Vera/Luup do not behave this way, they only trigger events when their values change). In particular, thesesl_states are changed when lock codes on locks are entered, or buttons on scene controllers are pressed. For these uses, it is important that a repeated use of the same code or button signals an additional event, so Vera/Luup's uses these specialsl_states for those. VeraController now inserts an extra_updatedattribute of the same name that can be used with the changes operator to detect when thesl_states are updated.

A string that contains only a time will be converted to that moment on the current date; a string that contains only a date will yield midnight on that date.

- PR 0000327: Reaction Entity Action layout for additional data fields is messy.
- VeraController: Ensure
x_vera_device.failedand.configuredare null if Vera fails to provide state for these values. - EzloController: Dead-marking and automatic removal (after delay) of entities for Ezlo devices/rooms/scenes that no longer exist (functional parity with other hub Controller objects).
- HassController: Implement mappings for scenes, scripts, and automations. All of these can have their actions run via Reactor's
script.runaction. Automations also can be en-/disabled using thepower_switchcapability actions (and entity primary state is the automation's en-/disabled state). All appear as runnable scenes in the dashboard. - UI: Improve highlighting of containing groups when sort/drop changes to conditions are made in the rules editor.

Just a news item: the ZWaveJSController is now an official add-on, available for download from
extras. Instructions for installing it are in the Reactor documentation.For (only) those users who have been using the zwavejs build series for testing ZWaveJSController, you will now need to go back to the latest build series, and install ZWaveJSController as referenced above. There will be no further builds on the zwavejs branch. Also, ZWaveJSController no longer requires an authentication key to use, so you can remove the
authentry from configuration (it will be ignored and is harmless if you leave it).
