    • Adding remotes, scene controllers as entities to MSR

      A

      EDIT: 2022.07.01

      So I will try to remake this thread to some kind of guide for future use, or in worst case a documentation of my failure. At least that could also be useful for letting someone know what didn't work...
      I have zero knowledge of programming, so every time I need to edit a config file in HomeAssistant or similar it requires a good portion of googletime and read, re-reading instructions.
      Also is english not my native language, so bear with me.

      Two goals!
      1: Get MSR to take notice (and then actions of course) of pressed buttons on remotes.
      2: Document what I do in hope I can help someone else in the future.

      I will use a Fibaro Keyfob as described below, but what I understand from Togglebits answers most type of remotes should work in similar ways.

      Original thread:
      Fibaro Keyfob support in MSR? (thru Hassio & Z-wave JS)
      Hi

      I just bought a Fibaro Keyfob FGKF-601 and plan to give this to my son so he can control some stuff in his own room. Primary some lightning and Sonos, maybe blinds in the future.

      As the noob I am it will, of course, not work as I expected.👶🏻

      The remote handle 1x, 2x, 3x clicks per button (six of them) and "release button"
      I thought that it would appear like some "scene controller" in HA and that I could make Rules in MSR depending on what scene-entety that was triggered.
      So is not the case, and if that is because of HA, Z-wave JS or MSR I have no idea.
      I found a HA Blueprint that works in HA, but of course I would prefer to keep all automation in MSR.
      I guess a workaround could be using HA virtual switches "Helpers" that I suppose will come up as an on/off trigger in MSR, but before going this way I would like to check with the wisdom of your guys if there is a better way of doing this.

      I am using:
      MSR 22168 on windows.
      Home Assistant Core 2022.6.7
      Home Assistant Supervisor 2022.05.3
      Home Assistant OS 7.6
      Z-Wave JS version: 0.1.64

    • Constraints under triggers or under constraints, what is the difference?

      A

      Need to ask, have thougth about this since the move from Rector to MSR I think.

      What is the difference between putting constraints under trigger groups, like this
      23b4a249-3292-41cd-9927-7f49c9bf1d07-image.png

      Compared to this similar rule, but the time limits is under contraints instead?
      ee596c9f-f52b-4a39-9605-f5932f3d9ed5-image.png

      I think the Constraints parts in manual is still to be done because I can only find in the chapter menu, but it is not mentioned anywhere else.

    • Condition must occur after -restriction not working

      tunnus

      Running MSR 22123 in Docker container and trying to use "condition must occur after" option. Will update to the latest build and log a PR if needed, but wanted to poll first if anyone is using this option successfully?

      I have the following rules:

      Screenshot 2022-06-28 at 15.18.50.png

      Notification activity connected to "Alarm disabled" rule did not trigger. I also did another test with quite simple rules and that didn't work either (FWIIW - when observing that test in "real-time", I didn't see any timer running on the second rule while the first rule was true).

      As said, before going further with debug/logs, nice to know if someone is using this option/restriction (successfully).

    • [Solved] Changes in 22178 for HASS sensor no longer provide a value in topic "value", MQTTController echo capability

      Crille

      Before updating to 22178 there was a primary value echoed in MQTTControllers echo capability, can I tell the controller which value to put as primary from HASS sensors after this change as it now is null? or is it a bug?

      I have not changed the

    • Using InfluxDB with MSR

      wmarcolin

      Hi!

      I have a system that I consider pretty stable, running in a VM Ubuntu 20.04, it has some communication failures, but I think more by HE than by the OS/MSR.

      I'm thinking of taking the next step to get more advantages from the system, and I'm thinking of using InfluxDB maybe for queries or to extend rules.

      The question is, I would like practical examples of what really helps to install InfluxDB? What would you be doing that really makes a difference with this installation? Can you post examples of features or information?

      Thanks

    • Synology NAS docker image replacement

      MikeReadington

      Hi Everyone,

      MSR had a docker image file naming convention change, and I am not exactly sure how to swap the image out. I'm sure it's not rocket science, I've just never done this before.

      I am using a Synology NAS, and under the environment tab there is a "REACTOR_IMAGE" variable. Can I just change the image name to the new image naming convention and clear the container, or should I launch a new container and populate the volume location from the previous reactor?

      Thanks in advance

    • Cheapest platform on which to run MSR

      T

      Please can anyone give me advice on a cheap way to run MSR (both initial cost and ongoing electricity cost). I currently run it on my QNAP network drive (which works very well incidentally). However, this draws a constant 35Watts (£90/yr @ 30p/kWh) and given the recent rise in fuel costs I am evaluating the best way forwards. Note, I only really need to turn my QNAP on for an hour a week to back-up my computer data. I understand that MSR can run on a Raspberry PI, but I am not competent with Linux! Thanks.

    • Copying configuraiton and rules from QNAP install to Raspberry PI 4 install

      T

      I have made good progress setting up a new Raspberry PI 4 with the latest OS (64bit) and latest Reactor images in Docker. However I am not able to copy my configuraiton files (.yml) and reactor reactions over. I am not yet that confident with linux commands, so I have tired to drag and drop the files from a USB drive to the working folders in my new Raspberry PI. I am getting a popup in the GUI stating 'The file operation was completed with errors.' and Errors occured: "rule-xxxxxx.json: Error opening file "/home/pi/reactor/....................................json":Permission denied.

      I suspect it's something to do with permissions?

      Is there an easier way to copy my configuration over??

      Hello All -

      I'm gradually moving away from Vera to Home Assistant. I've recently gotten the Alexa and Mini Media Player setup in Home Assistant and everything is working well.

      Is there a way to call this service from Reactor? My goal is to send TTS requests to HAAS upon certain events within Reactor (e.g. "Front Door Opened")

    • MSR Upgrade from 22119 to 22136 fails, service wont start

      W

      Windows Server 2022 Build 20348
      Nodejs v16.14.0
      Currently running Reactor (Multi-hub) stable-22119-ae7212f
      Linked to Hass 2022.0.5.4 (on a different box)
      Windows server is dedicated to MSR and doesn't do anything else.

      I'd like to upgrade to 22136 to take advantage of the SSL feature added recently, and also to bring my current version of Hass into the 'supported' column with MSR.

      Following the instructions here: link text, section "Upgrade Windows Bare Metal"

      Stop Reactor Service Extract the zip, overwriting the reactor folder in c:\reactor\reactor There is no package-lock.json file so I skip that. Run "npm install --no-save --omit dev"

      Next step is to start the service. I start the service and it immediately stops. "Windows could not start the Reactor service on Local Computer. Error 1067: The process terminated unexpectedly".

      Tried rebooting, service won't stay running.

      I suspect I'm missing something, it's probably obvious but I've not been able to figure it out.

      I rolled back the reactor folder version (Windows Shadow copies) and then the service starts fine.

      Anyone else running Windows and know what I'm missing?

    • Status page rule history length.

      MikeReadington

      Hello Patrick,

      On the status page rule history is there any adjustably on length of the history shown? I had an occasion where it would have been helpful to go a few notches farther back than it does as currently configured.

      I don't know if this is a log parser or if it is a separate smaller data set. If it is a log parser, any chance for maybe something like a "more" button?

      Thanks,

      @toggledbits I've done a (test) Swedish translation for MSR, I don't want/need a translated version, but I had the time and perhaps some future users would find it useful 🙂
      I noticed it's a bit early in the process to go live with systemwide localizations so no github in place yet, do you want input on this now or should we wait a few releases? considering it may be low priority issues.
      If so, do you want feedback here or in mantis?

              This is so cool. I don't even have the words, honestly. There are very personal feelings at work here. I'll just say I come from a world family, so seeing Reactor in a language other than English adds a connection for me that I have long wanted to see. Thank you for taking the time to do this.

                    @toggledbits According to the documentation for localization:

                    "You may, at your option, contribute your language file to be included with future builds of Reactor as an add-on ... We will simply pull your latest language file from your Github repository directly when and as needed during builds..."

                    Will this hold back the release of a new build, waiting for translators to update their repos with new versions matching the new build?

                      This is all so new, I hadn't really thought about it, but here's my first reaction to it:

                      • I would not delay a latest build, as these are not scheduled, and sometimes have urgency.
                      • I would delay a numbered release (e.g. 1.0.1, etc.). But, my plan and practice so far has been to derive these from prior latest builds that have proven stable, so I can factor in the necessary changes at that point and wait for them. This may require a bit of additional configuration management on my part, but I can plan the timing of the release, and give everyone predictable schedules.

                      Going forward, I think there are two practices that we will need to follow to give the best/longest compatibility:

                      • Strings are not removed from the translation files when later versions disuse them, at least, not for a very long time. Rather, they can perhaps be moved to the bottom of the file under a comment # Strings not used as of 21267 (for example) to keep them organized but still present. In this way, a 22044 translation file would still work well for 21267 or versions prior, because it still contains the old strings. At some major revision (2.0) we can clean house and remove the old strings. We've removed a few already; I won't ask you to remove any more, I'll just call them out as "disused."
                      • Strings will not change their keys, use, or meaning. If a changes in these ways, a new string (or tag) will be created for the purpose, and the old version can go on the list of old/disused strings. This should help ensure that 21267 and 22044 use a string in the same way, and the translations are valid in both. So, for example, the 1:T change I just asked you to make will never be repeated; it was the first and last such request, and we'll do it by replacement going forward.

                      Any thoughts or recommendations you have about all this are more than welcome. I've done many product localizations from the original engineering side. What I haven't done is worked with language teams on localized builds thereafter -- that has always ended up going to other departments and other companies in other countries, and handled weeks or months after my work has been packaged and released in the US. So, I don't have any experience at policies and procedures that work in helping you maintain the work. I have a good imagination, but it's a bit of "the tail wagging the dog" as we say here, so I'm eager to have you tell me what you think should be done. What we're doing now is only my first guess to see what happens to get it rolling.

                        @toggledbits I believe your suggestions for long term compatibility is spot on.
                        Considering this is new and we are running "latest" there will be frequent acceptable changes that demand translators/user actions for keeping things up to date.
                        As you say numbered releases should probably already have an updated file for localization and I really like the implementation of disused strings for backward compatibility.

                          OK. I'm updating the docs with all of this. Keep the discoveries and suggestions coming!
