Hi!
Is it possible to generate two additional log files, the first being the replica of what is displayed on screen by the Rule History widgets and the other with Recently Changed Entities?
And could I configure the generation of one file per day, and delete the older ones? For example, store the last 5 days?
And being more ambitious, does Windget have an icon to open these TXT files in the navigated?
Well, we're approaching Christmas, so here's my request to Santa Claus @toggledbits 🙂
Hi @toggledbits
I'm working on a controller to generate llm response from a prompt in reactor. I have http response coming thru an http request action at the moment, capturing the response inside a local variable. So, it's practically sync.
I want to create a controller, so I don't have to rely on a proxy (and have a simpler architecture), and duplicate absurd http actions, but AFAIK in the current implementation, actions are async only. But if I have multiple requests going on, I cannot be sure what it's really inside an attribute. I also thought that something like a correlation id when sending the request could be used to identity multiple responses, but I wanted to double check with you before starting with something too complicated. I also noticed that some actions in home assistant (ie forecast) are sync and I'm wondering if you have any plan or hint to address this situation. Thanks.
Thanks.
@togglebits I am curious as to why the tilt_sensor.state (primary) = NULL. I believe it should show true or false. I have to use binary_sensor.state instead in my rules.
Again, not sure if this is related to Reactor/ZwaveJSController implementation or the actual Z-Wave JS UI docker version. I have copied, below, the attributes of the tilt sensor in hopes it can help.
Thanks in advance.

@toggledbits I have noticed after upgrading both Reactor and ZWaveJSController to version 24257 that two of my devices/entities, TILT-ZWAVE2.5-ECO and Zooz ZSE18, had their entity re-named in an unusual way and also appears to be duplicated.

Anyway, here's my reactor-mqtt-contrib package:
Contrib MQTT templates for Reactor. Contribute to dbochicchio/reactor-mqtt-contrib development by creating an account on GitHub.
Simply download yaml files (everything or just the ones you need) and you're good to go.
I have mapped my most useful devices, but I'll add others soon. Feel free to ask for specific templates, since I've worked a lot in the last weeks to understand and operate them.
The templates are supporting both init and query, so you have always up-to-date devices at startup, and the ability to poll them. Online status is supported as well, so you can get disconnected devices with a simple expression.
Many-many thanks to @toggledbits for its dedication, support, and patience with me and my requests 🙂
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.Hi @toggledbits.
After a couple of weeks, I noticed that my Remotec zrc90 isn't working as expected.
Scenes are working in ZWaveJS, but this device has a strange behavior: the scene change, but then it's set again to null. In Reactor, this remains null:

Hi, @toggledbits!
I have a question about the execution behavior. See the code below, and I'll explain the situation.
12957c3e-ff06-46c9-929d-b53f936665df-image.png
This is a routine that, at a certain point, determines that the desktop on which the VM hosting the Reactor is located receives an instruction to perform a shutdown (Shell Command).
When this happens, the desktop is turned off, and then Hubitat detects by a "ping" that the VM has been down, waits 15 seconds, turns off the power to this desktop, and then 15 seconds later turns on the desktop with the Reactor VM again.
After restarting the desktop, the VM is loaded, and the Reactor is triggered. Still, the following problem occurs: I expected that when the rule was continued to be executed again, the next step would be executed, that of the 900-second delay after shutdown, but the Shell command is executed again, and then it goes into a loop, the rule does not advance.
To break the loop, I first have to make the VM not load, change the desktop password, and then start the VM. In this case, Reactor generates an error when trying to execute the Shell Command because of the invalid password and then finishes the routine following the 900 delay step.
b58b0d4a-d6c1-4fe3-bab7-4222acea9607-image.png
Is my interpretation that when it returns, the routine should continue to the next step that has not yet been executed incorrectly? Or does Reactor, through the shutdown command, interpret that it hasn't finished this step and keep trying, which is the correct reaction?
Thanks for clarifying.
Hi @toggledbits ,
I'm slowly moving my ZWave network from Vera to ZWaveJS. I successfully cloned my ZWave network using a spare Vera Edge (a new post for the community later when I'll be fully back from vacation) and I'm testing a couple of things before moving everything to ZWaveJS.
In the meanwhile, I have a couple of venetian blinds connected to Fibaro Roller Shutters 2 (FGR222) and I'm using some proprietary ZWave commands to control the tilt position, that right now I'm sending via Vera (with some code from the old place, messing with this):
af7f883c-f49e-419c-a2fe-8669572e3792-image.png
The ZWaveJS values are reported via this:
x_zwave_values.Manufacturer_Proprietary_fibaro_venetianBlindsPosition=0 x_zwave_values.Manufacturer_Proprietary_fibaro_venetianBlindsTilt=0I hope there's a way to expose a separate device to control the tilt position directly, without doing the mess I'm doing now. Let me know if you need some files. Thanks.
As per @toggledbits request, new topic.

Good morning,
I have a service MQTT service that needs a restart occasionally. The add-on (Smartbed MQTT) is for the smart bed base for my bed. It has a "safety light" that I can control from HAAS & MSR as a light entity, and also moves the head of the bed to a preset at bedtime, and then lies it back flat in the morning The problem is, from time to time, the light becomes "unavailable" Restarting from the Add-ons tab in HAAS always fixes it, but I should be able to detect when it happens when "light.tempur_pedic_safety_lights" is not true or false, i.e., unavailable.
What I don't know how to do is how to restart that service. Does anybody have experience in restarting add-ons from MSR?

RPi5-64 (8GB) Core 2024.7.3 Supervisor 2024.08.0 Operating System 13.0 Frontend 20240710.0Hi-
I have an android media player entity publishing from HA. I watch for changes in transport state and media title to trigger some actions.
Though those attributes report as expected, the set rule is being throttled for possible flapping.
There is an attribute for media position that continually updates, I suspect it is causing the evaluations to run constantly.
The workaround I am seeking is to ignore those attributes in HA or MSR. Anyone know how, or have a better idea??
Thx
Btw- this problem has spanned versions of HA and reactor, but I am current on both. Too current on HA for transparency, but the issue has survived several updates.
Referencing an expression inside a reaction is in the form of ${{ expression }}. When referenced inside my shell command to set the watering delay duration for my Rachio sprinkler system, it just does not work.
If I enter "86400" instead of referencing the expression lWateringDelayDuration, it works. Either I am doing something wrong or referencing an expression inside a shell command is not supported.

As per @toggledbits request, here's a new topic.
My Fibaro Door Window Sensor 2 (FGDW002) is always reporting as open, even if

Hi @toggledbits,
I'm not sure if it's a bug or something, but I have a lot of Fibaro Double Switch (FGS223) as follows.

Endpoint 1 is fine. This is causing a lot of troubles, as you may imagine.
Also, endpoint 0 is not really a switch, and the associated actions are not doing anything at all. Maybe these could be removed. Also, I see battery_maintenance and power_source capabilities, all with null values.

Good morning,
I'm having an issue with controlling my Zooz Zen14 outdoor double outlet. I should be able to control each outlet individually, and this does work when use Home Assistant (haas) from Reactor.
When I use zwavejs, I see 3 entries:

The first entry is for the overall device. I can turn both outlets on and off (in theory) by setting the power_switch state to on or off. This does turn them on and off when using zwavejs.
When I go to the individual outlets, performing the power_switch.on or power_switch.off actions turns them all (main, 1 and 2) on or off, and not just the individual outlets. When I perform the same action from haas, turning on outlet 1 will turn on the main switch and 1, but not 2.
I reviewed the logs for that node and I'm not seeing anything obvious.

Switching from Vera to Hubitat
-
Well finally after a long time, I bought my Hubitat and start the process of working with 2 hubs, with the final goal of staying only with Hubitat.
I want to share my first insight, and of course then a shortlist if you can help to speed up my change with some information.
First perception Hubitat is much more professional, lighter, more technical, and thus more difficult for beginners. Vera has the Dashboard and Devices part more visually elaborated, it is easier and faster to see things, something that Hubitat has to build but gives much more potential for creation. Hubitat's manuals and documents are infinitely better. In summary, the more technical features in my opinion, far outweigh the visual point of Vera.
Some small doubts:
- Is there in Hubitat a way to update/force neighbor nodes?
- In Vera I use the variable x_vera_device.failed or zwave_device.failed to detect devices with problems (long discussions in other posts), in MSR I don't see this variable for Hubitat devices, how to know the device is in a failure state? In MSR Entities I see that Vera devices have many more variables than Hubitat devices.
- In this matchEntities({capability:['x_vera_device']}) expression that lists all the devices, for this x_vera_device parameter it only shows what is in the Vera, which would be common to any hub?
- Who is the equivalent of Vera's Switchboard Plugin from @toggledbits on Hubitat? Do you have something like SiteSensor?
Sorry for asking these questions, I have already searched the manuals and forums and they are issues that after a week of searching I still can't solve.
Thanks.

We don't even know that a node is ZWave. But that's not different from Hass. One of the disappointments of those platforms.

x_vera_device
is a capability that exists only on Vera devices. It's a container for the additional information we can get from the Vera that other platforms don't have in common.@wmarcolin said in Switching from Vera to Hubitat:

This is two separate questions. Virtual devices can be created on Hubitat by clicking "Add Virtual Device" in the Devices list.
I'm not aware of anything like SiteSensor on Hubitat, but I'm not deeply familiar with the breadth of their community apps. It's a good bit of a looser environment than the Vera App Marketplace defined. But, MSR can fulfill the SiteSensor role, as has been discussed in this category in other posts.

@toggledbits hi!
Regarding x_vera_device.failed or zwave_device.failed I understand and I am disappointed by this as well. Well, I follow the search task on the forums to see what I can find, surely I am not the only one who wants to do a check when a device stops responding.
With the point of listing all devices, something similar to x_vera_device for Hubitat to give the same? Any suggestions on what would be a common point across all Hubitat devices?
Ok, now I understand Add Virtual Device, but nothing compared to Switchboard searching now how to create a radio switch.
Site Sensor ok I will follow what we have discussed in this forum, I don't like, Sitesensor seems more transparent/impactful than being in a recurrent way triggering the MSR to test every 5 seconds the internet.
I'm seeing that the road will be longer than I thought, strong advantage that I'm really seeing is the compatibility with devices, especially S2, and of course start using Zigbee, I have 4 devices that I bought more than a year and finally will use.

It is the purpose of the
x_
capabilities to express hub-specific data and behavior. It is the purpose of the "standard" capabilities ( likepower_switch
andtemperature_sensor
) to provide a "lingua franca" interpretation of the data when possible (and I encourage you to use those capabilities when possible in preference to thex_
capabilties).The
x_
capabilities try to expose as much information as the hub offers in its raw form, so I would examine your entities and look at what's there. If there are opportunities to map those to standard services and it hasn't been done, bring that to my attention and I can add that mapping. But nonetheless, you are not cut off from the data; it's all there. What you don't find there is data that doesn't exist (i.e. isn't offered by the hub).In the case of Hubitat, if data or capability (action) is not exposed through MakerAPI, the Hubitat forums should receive that complaint. And it's more effective if those complaints come from multiple users (i.e. not just me). But Hass, Ezlo, it's all the same... if there's a way to figure it out, I will (especially if you help by providing data I don't have access to), but if the hub's API doesn't offer the necessary data, the hub has to change, not MSR.

@toggledbits thanks for the reply online, I will take your message and see what I should do and of course try to help.
But today I am really bothered by Hubitat not signaling clearly that a device is failing. Yesterday, more than 24 hours ago, I purposely unplugged a plug from the electricity supply to see if there were any failure signals, and there are none.
This to me is extremely serious, devices can for some reason lose communication, stop working, and only when an action fails should we investigate and understand. This is absurd to me, if I go on vacation and the door/window or motion sensors are not responding, does that mean that the alarm will not work? Maybe my analysis is hasty, but this is serious, I want to act before, when I already know that a communication established by wakeup interval does not happen, I will be warned.
I posted a similar message in the Hubitat group of users and received this comment (https://community.hubitat.com/t/how-many-ex-vera-owners-are-here/44951/122), I will look into this Device Activity Check that you have developed.
Again Patrick, thank you very much for your always kind attention, I saw that in another chat you mention that you have to take some time for your son, to go to University. Good luck, and unplug for a while who knows, maybe you'll come back with more brilliant ideas for all of us.
Thanks.

This is another reason I'm doing my own ZWave-JS integration for MSR, and not relying on, for example, HA (which uses ZWave-JS now) to be a sufficient pass-through. That makes Reactor much more "hub-ish", I realize, but this is a clear example where the middle-man (HA) is not contributing to capability.

Completing one week of full Hubitat use, and a few comments:
- Dashboard assembly, super easy to use, lots of customization potential, I don't believe I have to use anything external, positive point;
- Undoubtedly better the part of drives to add devices, accepted S2 devices that with Vera I couldn't add, finally I believe I will use Zigbee devices, extremely favorable point;
- Despite being easy to add devices, very, very bad antenna signal. What covered my house quietly with Vera, I am having a very difficult time with the signal. It's been 5 days since I migrated more than 80 devices, half of them connected directly to the electrical network, i.e. they are repeaters, and I still have communication failures, a worrisome point;
- My first impression is that Hubitat is slower than Vera, at least it has failed a lot with MSR. I see that MSR sends a command, and Hubitat ignores it, or doesn't execute all the action steps. I know there has already been some comment in this forum of interval times, I have to find the discussion and understand this detail, MSR flies and Hubitat walks, point of concern;
- No doubt cleaner drives, attributes are only the main thing without loading a lot of unnecessary stuff as Vera has, but I complain again and have already put in support, the fact of not having the device_fault, or zwave_fault as an attribute to indicate failure is very bad. The option to use the community's APP, I didn't like at all, because everything involves a complexity that used to be easier to see in the Vera panel, and now with MSR's DynamicGroup it would be great to manage failures, bad point.
Well, I hope this weekend I can have some time to dedicate to understanding what I can do to improve the Mesh network that they say Hubitat handles well, but that is not what I see.
Well Patrick, waiting your ZWave-JS

@wmarcolin I did this migration over the last several months, finally turning off my Vera (to eliminate useless radio interference) just last week.
"My first impression is that Hubitat is slower than Vera"
That's interesting to me as my first thought was "wow, this thing is like greased lightning - it barely lets me finish a command and it's done", even when using the Alexa/Google/Homekit integrations which should be adding latency having to traverse the web and back.
I was heavily using the
Reactor
plugin in Vera along with two SiteSensors for calling weather APIs. I very recently replaced both of those SiteSensors withExpressions
inMSR
and they work flawlessly.I do have H-A but it's mostly for dashboarding and my dislike toward paying another $5/month for another service from another hub to make my hub accessible online for status checks.
-
I really don't know if I did something very wrong, but I consider myself an experienced person, so what I am witnessing in my Hubitat is making me extremely worried.
See the report below that I just ran, 31 nodes failing.
You comment about leaving Reactor that I'm sure was happy, and now using MSR, this opens up a huge universe of possibilities, I'm really a fan, I just hope to have a hub at the same level as MSR.
