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.
The Runtime Error is different in the two browsers

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!
Reactor (Multi-System/Multi-Hub) Announcements
-
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_deviceconfig 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_attributeparameters more aggressively (better error message when not provided). - VirtualEntityController: Fix an error in
x_virtualentity.set_attributethat 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 Switchnow maps tochimecapability (Aeotec Siren 6, others) - Support multi-step action implementations (e.g.
chime.playneeds 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 TRUEandis NOT FALSEoperators. Theis NOT TRUEoperator (for example) is unlike theis FALSEoperator in that, if the tested value isnull, theis NOT TRUEoperator result would be true, while theis FALSEoperator result would be false. This distinction facilitates some tests where it may be desirable to handlenullas equivalent to eithertrueorfalsewithout having to provide an additional, separateis NULLcondition (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: namevalue form to action payload definition to draw payload value from the named parameter without the need to use anexpression (this follows the implementation of action definitions in other Controller instances as well). That is, you can specify, for example,parameter: levelinstead 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_angleattribute 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
proximitydomain (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 thetargetfield to specify theentity_id, rather than the old form which embedded theentity_idin thedatafield. - HassController: The
x_hass_system.call_service(system-global service call action) has been extended to allow the user to enter atargetfield for service calls that benefit from it. It should be noted, however, that thex_hass.call_serviceaction 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
casewith singlewhenand 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.

Reactor Build 24052
BARE-METAL USERS: It is recommended that you update package dependencies when installing all Reactor updates. After unpacking the Reactor archive, remove any existing
package-lock.jsonfile from your Reactor install directory, and then runnpm i --no-save --no-package-lock --omit devto update package dependencies.BREAKING CHANGE: The
valvecapability'sstateattribute value is now boolean, to match similar system capabilities (was previously/erroneously string). If you are using an entity with thevalvecapability in conditions or actions, make sure the type for the current or target state is boolean now.- Update support for many packages. Please remember to do
npm i --no-save --no-package-lock(bare-metal installs only; docker containers are always up-to-date). - Add ability to override the state of a rule from the UI, for logic debugging purposes. A disabled rule will have its state forced, but will not run its reactions. An enabled rule will also have its state forced, but the corresponding rule reaction will run on the state transition. When overridden, the trigger and constraint conditions have no effect on the overall rule state, but (if rule enabled) are still evaluated and their status is still accurately displayed on the status card for the rule in the UI.
- PR 0000357: Implement
getRule()extension function to get rule metadata; refer to the docs for more. - Fix an error in the handling of the entity action cache in the UI (occurred when running actions from the entity detail in the Entities list).
- Docs: improvements to description of custom event handlers for HassController (still a work in progress, but isn't everything?).
- Docs: add a section in VeraController doc for the firmware's
UnsafeLuaflag, required to be on for thex_vera_sys.runluaaction to be available. The value is now also published as an attribute on the system entity. - HassController: Implement new HA
valvedomain with ourvalvecapability. - HassController: Bless Hass to 2024.2.2

Reminder for Bare-Metal Installs
Friday, March 1 2024 is the last day for Reactor support on nodejs versions earlier than 18. The next build of Reactor releasing after March 1 will not operate on any earlier version. If you haven't upgraded your system to nodejs version 18 or higher, please read the earlier advisory for details and upgrade ASAP.
For the removal of doubt, builds 24052 (most recent build) and prior will continue to run on and after March 1 on earlier nodejs versions; there is not enforced stop on this date. It is only future builds that will refuse to start on out-of-date nodejs versions.
Docker images are always up-to-date and therefore this notice does not apply to them (no action required for docker users).

extmay now be located underconfig, which makes its location uniform for bare-metal and docker users; this will eventually become the standard location. It is not necessary at this time to relocate your existingextdirectory if you have one — either or both the old and new locations will work for the foreseeable future. - Improve the coordination of the Reactions and Rules displays when open and interacting on multiple displays (e.g. when you delete a reaction on one screen, it should disappear from the other(s)).
- Fix a browser-side performance issue/delay with reconnection to a restarting Reactor service when the Status page is up and displaying the Recently Changed Entities widget. This also improves the memory consumption and performance of the widget generally.
- Increase tolerance for damage to most storage objects, particularly those that only maintain state that can usually be safely rebuilt on the fly. For those that cannot, like rules and expressions, isolate a faulty file and ignore the object with an alert to the user. Preserve the broken file.
- PR 0000367 Localization of the new strings in the rule state override menu and state display have been added.
- PR 0000368 Fix missing localization string for Copy Attributes button in Entities list entity detail card.
- Report detected time zone and offset in startup messages. Add time zone display to hover title on browser and host times in UI header.
- New
wifi_statussystem capability for WiFi-connected devices that can report connection status. - PR 0000369 Docs: Add documentation for
ev_chargersystem capability. - HassController now supports responses from services that support them; whether required or optional, a response will be requested and stored in
x_hass.last_responseon the target Reactor entity. The data returned is not processed in any way; it is written as-received to the attribute. Tip: if possible, always make the service call from the target entity, not from the system entity. - HassController: Bless Hass to 2024.4.4
MQTTController 24114
NOTE: This version requires Reactor build 24115 or higher
- Add template for Shelly RGBW2 (using Gen1 API) called
shelly_rgbw2_color(requirestopic). - Add support for
wifi_statuscapability for some devices; more to come. Previously, those devices stored WiFi status info inx_mqtt_device(extended capability) attributes. Now that a first-class capability is being used, the extended attributes are deprecated and will be removed from a future release. - Templates may now remove an action from an entity if it isn't supported by the device. This is done by specifying the action's value as
false. If a device cannot support any action of a capability, the entire default list of actions for the capability can be removed by specifying the capability value asfalsein theactionssection of the template. For an example, see the templateshelly_rgbw2_colorimplementation for capabilitylight_effectactionset_speed, and the action implementation for thebuttoncapability. - Templates may now define custom actions in
x_mqtt_device. Including anargumentsobject in the standard action arguments format allows the template to notify the UI of the arguments required by the action. For an example, see the templateshelly_rgbw2_coloractionx_mqtt_device.set_white.

- Soft reconfiguration of entities on configuration changes and system upgrades. This should preserve attribute values when the entity needs to be configured due to implementation changes for capabilities.
