I have tried numerous ways to define a recurring annual period, for example from December 15 to January 15. No matter which method I try - after and before, between, after and/not after, Reactor reports "waiting for invalid date, invalid date. Some constructs also seem to cause Reactor to hang, timeout and restart. For example "before January 15 is evaluated as true, but reports "waiting for invalid date, invalid date". Does anyone have a tried and true method to define a recurring annual period? I think the "between" that I used successfully in the past may have broken with one of the updates.
Good evening all,
For about the past week or so, I've been having problems with a specific rule in my home automation that controls when my home goes from an Away mode to Home mode. One of the conditions it checked for was my alarm panel, when it changed from Armed Away to Disarmed. There seems to have been a firmware update on the panel that added an intermittent step of "pending", and I can't say for certain it happens 100% of the time.
Is there a way to write a condition that so it changes from one condition, to the next, and then another condition? As in, Home alarm changes from armed_away to pending to disarmed.
Thanks.
No idea how easy this would be. During my migration away from Z-wave I've been replacing the Z-wave devices with Sonoff which has broken some of my automations.
Any chance of a 'Test Reaction' function to call out which ones are broken because an entity no longer exists? Without actually running the reaction?
Or does this exist already and I'm just not aware of how to do it? Obviously I can see entities that are no longer available, but not quite what I'm looking for.
I guess it's something of an edge case so no huge issue.
TIA!

I'm sure this has been asked, and answered, but damned if I can figure it out
Use case: I have a rear garden with lights. A door from the kitchen into the garden and a door from the garage.
Currently if I open the kitchen door the lights come on (yay) and a 3 minute delay starts.
After 3 minutes, no matter what else happens, the lights go off (Boo! But also yay!)
What I would like is for the 3 minute delay until the lights go off to start from the latest door open event.
That is, if I'm going from kitchen to garage, and back again, the lights stay on until there's three minutes of no activity.
I've tried 'hacking' with a virtual switch, but can't seem to stop the delay.
Any pointers?
TIA

Seeing this randomly when returning to open browser tab after being away awhile. Once, maybe twice a day.
"What did you do to trigger it?" Literally nothing, just walked away and returned and there it was.
Actions taken in reasonably close proximity to this particular instance of it popping up: I'd restarted the MSR container in Portainer.
I'll try to grab some logs here shortly.
I'm having an issue with MSR's UI being very unresponsive. It started happening a couple days ago and I didn't make any changes that would have caused this except adding some meross lan devices in HA. When I go into an entity action and use the search functionality, it usually will start filtering and then get to a place after a few letters are entered where it will take 30 seconds or more (sometimes minutes) for the UI to show what I am typing. During this time MSR ui is completely unresponsive. I've tried multiple browsers and multiple computers. HA and MSR are both deployed in docker. I have run HTOP on the host and when the problem happens there are no CPU/Memory spikes at all.
From a functionality standpoint MSR is working perfectly. This seems to be an UI issue only.
Do i need to ditch Docker and run MSR on a Proxmox VM? I have both stand alone Docker and Proxmox environments. I dont mind doing that I just want to be able to use the UI again...
Installation method
Home Assistant Container
Core
2025.7.3
Frontend
20250702.3
nothing crazy in the logs except some openweather map stuff that doesn't make any sense as it is working fine in MSR
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Build 21228 has been released. Docker images available from DockerHub as usual, and bare-metal packages here.
Home Assistant up to version 2021.8.6 supported; the online version of the manual will now state the current supported versions;
Fix an error in OWMWeatherController that could cause it to stop updating;
Unify the approach to entity filtering on all hub interface classes (controllers); this works for device entities only; it may be extended to other entities later;
Improve error detail in messages for EzloController during auth phase;
Add isRuleSet() and isRuleEnabled() functions to expressions extensions;
Implement set action for lock and passage capabilities (makes them more easily scriptable in some cases);
Fix a place in the UI where 24-hour time was not being displayed.

@toggledbits
Vera Firmware: 1.7.5186 (7.31)
Pi: Raspberry Pi 3 Model B Plus Rev 1.3, and the Debian version is 10.10The response was immediate from the web browser, and from when I used wget within the Pi.
-
I have it running on both a 1GB 3B+ and a 4GB 4, but under Raspberry Pi OS/Raspian. I'd suggest trying that next.
-
@toggledbits Sorry, I should have been more specific, it’s running Raspberry Pi OS Lite. Are you saying it should be the regular Raspberry Pi OS?
-
OK. The version of nodejs you've got running isn't the one installed by the install script... did you run the install script? It will still let you use that version, that "should not" be a/the problem, but the script does other things... installs dependencies, certain versions... should not be run as root or under
su/sudo... did all that happen? -

su/sudo... did all that happen?@toggledbits Oh jeez, I followed the wrong set of instructions from the get-go. When you asked about the install script, I retraced my steps and realized what happened.
I followed the "Linux (various) Bare Metal" instructions because I did not read that the 4B instructions also worked for the 3B+.
So I just started fresh and followed the correct instructions, and everything seems to be working. Thank you for your help!
-
Sounds good. Still leaves me wondering what was going on, because the bare metal steps basically take you in the same direction as the installer (and the reverse is also true — you could run the Pi install script on pretty much any Linux box and probably get a valid install). In the background, I also brought up a 3B+ on RaspiOS and did a bare metal install with node 14.17.6 as you had, and it worked fine. So, not sure what may have gone sideways with your original install, but I'm glad the script straightened it out.
Did you let the install script install node 14.15, or did you let it go ahead with the 14.17 previously installed? That would narrow down some variables.
-
I just let it run with the 14.17
