Gradually turn on lights.
Tom_DT
I have several lights that I would like to turn on very gradually over 15 or 20 seconds. from 0 to .25 in .01 increments. I have tried a few things that came nowhere near working, so here I am.

Stop the MSR by an external switch on Hubitat.
wmarcolinW
Use case: When performing home maintenance, such as air conditioning, I want all rules involving air conditioning to be disabled. To do this, to day, I have a virtual switch that I placed within all rules involving air conditioning, meaning that if I turn it off, none of them work. Then another situation: the water pump system and garden irrigation, another switch. In short, I had to create several virtual switches in Hubitat to disable rules in MSR. Unfortunately, however, I was unable to cover all scenarios, so I wondered if it would be possible for MSR to support a virtual MSR switch, which, when configured in the reactor settings, would function as a general on/off switch for MSR. If it is configured and turned off, the entire rules and actions in MSR stops working, except for the status change reading process, specifically for this switch, which, when turned on, would restart the MSR. Would it be possible to do something like this? Any recommendations from the experts?

Way to search for rules (rule state) in other rules
T
@toggledbits, not sure if this is a feature request or I'm using the search tool wrong. You have a "Search for rule" in the Rules Set tab in MSR. It works nicely to find a rule and bring up said rule, but can it/could it be used for as a "where used?" global search? For instance, I have a fairly large set of rules, divided up into 10 different rulesets. There's easily a hundred individual rules, and many of the rules have Rule State triggers, which of course refer to other rules. Amongst my troubleshooting today, I came across what may have been a duplicate or troubleshooting attempt, but I can't tell if it's actually used as a Rule State in another rule without opening each rule that I suspect it may be a part of. Thanks.

Links to MSR from HA
Tom_DT
I am using Home Assistant a lot recently. On a dashboard showing the devices, I would like to show a link to the MSR rule that controls the devices. Is there a way to link directly into MSR?

Errors after updating to MQTTController build 25139

I'm running MSR build 25139 on Docker, using MQTT controller 24293, and everything working as expected. But if I try to upgrade to MQTTController build 25139, I'm getting the following errors on MSR UI: An Entity Attribute condition in "Lay-Z-Spa auto heating off" (Terrace) failed because the referenced entity "Lay-Z-Spa States" (mqtt>layzspa_states) does not have attribute value_sensor.god Last 11:20:37 An Entity Attribute condition in "Lay-Z-Spa auto heating off" (Terrace) failed because the referenced entity "Lay-Z-Spa States" (mqtt>layzspa_states) does not have attribute temperature_sensor.green Last 11:20:37 An Entity Attribute condition in "Lay-Z-Spa filter pump auto off" (Terrace) failed because the referenced entity "Lay-Z-Spa States" (mqtt>layzspa_states) does not have attribute temperature_sensor.red Last 11:20:37 An Entity Attribute condition in "Lay-Z-Spa filter pump auto run" (Terrace) failed because the referenced entity "Lay-Z-Spa States" (mqtt>layzspa_states) does not have attribute value_sensor.pump Last 11:20:37 An Entity Attribute condition in "Lay-Z-Spa watchdog" (Terrace) failed because the referenced entity "Lay-Z-Spa States" (mqtt>layzspa_states) does not have attribute value_sensor.status Last 11:20:37 My MQTT configuration (local_mqtt_devices.yaml) for the related entity is: layzspa_message: type: ValueSensor capabilities: ["temperature_sensor", "value_sensor", "power_sensor"] primary_attribute: power_sensor.value events: "layzspa/message": "power_sensor.value": json_payload: true if_expr: '! isnull( payload?.PWR )' expr: "float(payload.PWR)" "value_sensor.air": json_payload: true if_expr: '! isnull( payload?.AIR )' expr: "float(payload.AIR)" "value_sensor.pump": json_payload: true if_expr: '! isnull( payload?.FLT )' expr: "float(payload.FLT)" "value_sensor.god": json_payload: true if_expr: '! isnull( payload?.GOD )' expr: "float(payload.GOD)" "value_sensor.lock": json_payload: true if_expr: '! isnull( payload?.LCK )' expr: "float(payload.LCK)" "value_sensor.unit": json_payload: true if_expr: '! isnull( payload?.UNT )' expr: "float(payload.UNT)" "value_sensor.error": json_payload: true if_expr: '! isnull( payload?.ERR )' expr: "float(payload.ERR)" "temperature_sensor.green": json_payload: true if_expr: '! isnull( payload?.GRN )' expr: "float(payload.GRN)" "temperature_sensor.red": json_payload: true if_expr: '! isnull( payload?.RED )' expr: "float(payload.RED)" "temperature_sensor.target": json_payload: true if_expr: '! isnull( payload?.TGT )' expr: "float(payload.TGT)" "temperature_sensor.value": json_payload: true if_expr: '! isnull( payload?.TMP )' expr: "float(payload.TMP)" "temperature_sensor.virtual": json_payload: true if_expr: '! isnull( payload?.VTM )' expr: "round(float(payload.VTM), 1)" "temperature_sensor.ambient": json_payload: true if_expr: '! isnull( payload?.AMB )' expr: "float(payload.AMB)" "layzspa/Status": "value_sensor.status": if_expr: '! isnull( payload )' expr: "payload" "layzspa/button": "value_sensor.button": if_expr: '! isnull( payload )' expr: "payload" and in reactor.yaml I have: "layzspa_states": name: "Lay-Z-Spa States" friendly_name: 'Lay-Z-Spa States' include: layzspa_message I realize my MQTT configuration might be a bit unorthodox, but could there still be something unintentional in the latest MQTTController build?

🎉 My very first MSR controller: OpenSprinkler
therealdbT
Since today is my birthday - and I still pretend to be unconventional - I'm giving away a present to this wonderful community and I'm releasing my first OpenSprinkler controller for MSR. It was real fun to code it - and while it's still WIP, it seems to work OK for me. It's polling-based at the moment, but I'll add support for updates via MQTT very soon (it's already partially coded). Get it at (install is similar to MQTTController and such): https://github.com/dbochicchio/reactor-opensprinkler Feel free to try it. It's beta software, but it's stable. I'll update it weekly until all the tasks from my todo list are empty. Since I've learnt a lot from this controller, I'll explore new controllers soon.

Advice reqeusted to migrate MSR from Bare Metal to Container
T
Good day all, I'm in the process of trying to shut down my 10 year old Linux home server that served many purposes, but primarily it's what I used for my NAS/Plex Media server. I migrated the NAS aspect of the server in November of last year to a true NAS solution (Ubiquti UNAS Pro), which is rack mount and much more efficient than my old tower, which it's only side benefit was heating my home office during the winter. Unfortunately it also means heating my home office during the summer, which were about to be in full swing. I have two things running on this 10 year old server at this point. MSR and pi-hole. I'm running Plex Media Server on Fedora Workstation in Podman on mini PC, which is much more energy efficient than my old tower. My next step is to migrate MSR. I know there are images of MSR out there, and creating it is well documented. I'm going to be using Podman instead of Docker for various reasons, but they work very similar. What I don't know, is what I need to do to migrate my existing Bare Metal installation over to a container. Has anyone done this? Any advice?

Reactor (Multi-System/Multi-Hub) Announcements
toggledbitsT
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.

Organizing/ structuring rule sets and rules
R
Hi guys, Just wondering how you guys organize your rule sets and rules. I wish I had an extra layer to have some more granularity, but my feature request was not popular. Maybe there are better ways to organize my rule sets. I use the rule sets now primarily for rooms. So a rule set per room. But maybe grouping by functionality works better. Any examples/ suggestions would be appreciated.

    I did a fresh install of MSR yesterday and noticed that the latest docker image was not pulling down. I had to use the CLI command "docker-compose pull MSR" where "MSR" is the service name I gave to the container in docker compose. After pulling the image, most everything worked as expected and the localization bug I saw was resolved. I've seen this type of update behavior before in other containers-- usually when the docker tags are not updated, but it could be something wacky on my end as well.

    I also saw a small bug in the config file that I tried to post on Mantis, but I could not log in. Are you using the bug tracker, or do you prefer forum posts?

      What was the compose file issue? There has been several fixes recently. Where did you get yours?

        @toggledbits The compose file was not pulling down the latest image. Is my specification correct?

         MSR:
          container_name: reactor
          image: toggledbits/reactor:latest-generic-amd64
          restart: "on-failure"
          environment:
           REACTOR_DATA_PREFIX: /var/reactor
           TZ: America/Los_Angeles
          expose:
           - 8111
          ports:
           - 8111:8111
          volumes:
           - /home/kevinb/reactor:/var/reactor
           - /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro
           - /home/kevinb/reactor/tmpfs:/tmp
          logging:
           driver: "json-file"
           options:
            max-file: "5"
            max-size: 2m
        

        When I pulled "docker-compose pull MSR" from the command line, the image updated and all was good. But using "docker-compose up -d -- remove-orphans" at the CLI did not update files (it did, however, rebuild the container).

        So like I said, it could be something wacky on my end, or the/my image tags are not correct.

        The bug I saw was that:

        reactor:
          # baseurl - The base URL to access the Reactor system.
          baseurl: "http://10.17.2.41:8111"
        

        where the baseurl needs an "http://" in front of the ip address. This should be changed in the config template.

            @toggledbits I first deleted the reactor image and its volumes, and then I deleted the folder structure that the volumes pointed to. I did this through Portainer and to be extra sure, through docker. Then, using the "docker-compose pull MSR" command, everything was re-created. I know the container was re-created from scratch because my settings in the new config file were gone and the files/folders that were previously deleted were back with the startup example in the config file specified an IP address only.

            So make of that what you will, but I can tell you from this experience, that the container will not function without the addition of the http:// designation in the config file. I only caught the problem because of the log entries in Portainer.

              Indeed, and I would not expect it to. Unfortunately, I can't duplicate your results. I can confirm that the default value in the distribution template is:

              # See the Reactor documentation at https://reactor.toggledbits.com/docs/
              # Template version 21184
              ---
              reactor:
                # baseurl - The base URL to access the Reactor system.
                baseurl: "http://192.168.0.164:8111"
                #
              

              And I can confirm that this is what I see when I use docker-compose to turn up a new container with the bind location of /var/reactor in the container bound to a non-existent directory in the host filesystem (i.e. starting from scratch).

              The baseurl here is, in fact, the IP address of one of my test systems, and probably a long shot to be the same IP address that someone else may use. There is no automated construction or replacement of this value, no "guess" as to what your system IP address actually would be, etc. Unless Portainer magically knows something about Reactor, which would be a revelation to me, any value other than http://192.168.0.164:8111 didn't come from the template, at least not without help.

              I guess this will remain a mystery.

              Edit: You might confirm that the version number shown in the Reactor UI is latest-21270-... (as of this writing). If it's not that, your image isn't the latest; your pull isn't doing what you expect.

              Edit 2: Also see this post; seems to describe a problem similar to yours: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/37685581/how-to-get-docker-compose-to-use-the-latest-image-from-repository

                @toggledbits The template I used had your 192... address. I placed my local IP in its place. Trying to use a browser to this IP generated the error. After adding "http://" to the IP in the config file, the container worked as expected.

                The portainer aspect is that the reactor container came up using docker compose and was visible in portainer. However, the reactor container wouldn't allow a browser connection and the log errors visible in portainer were complaining about a prefix to the IP.

                Everything works now, so I don't know what happened there. Here's a snapshot of the top of the config file

                Reactor.png

                My version of compose was a year old, and that may have had something to do with the container not updating to the latest. My original compose version was manually installed and was missing from my package updaters. It's now part of PIP, so that should keep it up to date.

                Thanks for running this down as install errors usually make me throw in the towel before giving an app a chance.

                  @toggledbits The template I used had your 192... address. I placed my local IP in its place. Trying to use a browser to this IP generated the error. After adding "http://" to the IP in the config file, the container worked as expected.

                  Wait, are you saying it had http://192.168.0.164:8111 and you replaced it with 10.17.2.41 without the http:// at first?

                    @toggledbits No, the template had "192.168.0.164:8111" as the guide. At first, I replaced the template IP with "10.17.2.41". When that failed, I added the "http://" and everything worked.

                      Well, my testing doesn't reproduce that, and I don't see how it could happen otherwise, so I guess we're back to remaining a mystery.

                        Just an FYI - the Docker compose I used to create MSR on my QNAP (intel) is below

                        version: '3'
                        services:
                            reactor:
                                image: toggledbits/reactor:1.0.1-generic-amd64
                                container_name: reactor
                                environment:
                                    - PUID=1000
                                    - PGID=1000
                                    - TZ=Europe/London
                                volumes:
                                    - /share/Container/reactor:/var/reactor
                                network_mode: host
                                restart: always
