    • Home Assistant add-on

      M

      I've done a bit of repackaging of MSR to make it work as an add-on under Home Assistant mostly for my own purposes but hopefully it makes it a bit easier to install and get going.

    • Include Entity by Name in Dynamic Group Controller

      Pabla

      Trying to figure out how I can include a list of entities that have "battery_level" in their ID without having to manually include them in a list. I have a group which selects all entities with the battery_power capability and filters them if they are dead. In HA there are quite a few entities that have the battery_power capability but don't actually report a battery percent (see screenshot below for an example), the entities I am interested in are the ones that contain battery_level in their ID.

      I tried the following in the config file but it hasn't worked:

      "dead_battery": select: - include_capability: battery_power - include_entity: "/^hass>battery_level/"

      What I think I am doing wrong here is that I am including entities with the batter_level capability which doesn't actually exist.

    • [Solved] MSR actions aren't running anymore-- can't find what's broken

      E

      Suddenly my MSR actions aren't running anymore. I've had this before, but with an update to a new version it was fixed. see also

      https://smarthome.community/topic/987/msr-actions-aren-t-running-anymore-can-t-find-what-s-broken/3?_=1674661492589

      But an update from version 22240 to 22256 gave this time no result.

      The reactions aren't running correctly. Most of my MSR automations are use turn lights on/off, and time based automations nothing worked where MSR does his magic.

      I've also tested a bunch of things to see what's broken, here's what I've observed:
      -I can successfully flip lights on/off manually within Vera
      -I can successfully flip lights on/off manually within MSR's Entities section
      -the sensors are correctly reporting to Vera and MSR (I can see when they're switch on/off)
      -the rules within MSR are working correctly, I can see when they flip to 'true' of 'false' '
      '
      But I cannot successfully run the "Set Reaction" and "Reset Reaction" within MSR (by hitting the 'play' button)
      But the play buttons on the entitiy action in the "Set Reaction" and in "Reset Reaction" they work well.

      Can someone help me to get MSR working again

      MSR is running bare metal on Rpi4

    • My MQTTController templates contribution

      Crille

      I've made a few templates for MQTTController, mostly Zigbee2MQTT, and sharing them to the community if anyone else would find use for them.

    • Ezlo Controller - Error Incompatible serialization data - api cloud Timeout

      N

      Hi,
      Connection to Ezlo is going in timeout with api-cloud.ezlo. This happens in anonymous_access set to false or in true.
      A lot of Error Incompatible serialization data (in the log I cut many more).
      In MSR controller status, Ezlo is in green icon but after sometime devices start to not respond.
      Can I have some help?

      Synology Nas - INTEL - DSM 7.1.1-42962 Update 3

    • Help. Installing Reactor on Home Assistant.

      Good afternoon. I want to connect Reactor to HA. HA is installed on Proxmox. Proxmox is installed on a Beelink U59 PRO mini PC. Studied the installation instructions ( https://reactor.toggledbits.com/docs/Installation / ) but I didn't understand how to do it (I'm a weak linux user). Help, give detailed instructions on how to install MSR.
      Reactor is a cool plugin, I use it on VeraPlus, but gradually I want to switch to HA.

    • Neural TTS with Sonos & Hubitat

      tunnus

      My migration from Vera to Hubitat is almost ready, only Sonos & Visonic (alarm system) remain on Vera. Hubitat has a Sonos integration, but it lacks neural voices for TTS so I've been looking for an alternative solution.

      @a-lurker hinted that there's a mqtt version for Sonos so I went that route and installed Docker containers for both sonos2mqtt and sonos-tts-polly. It turned out that I won't need mqtt for this at all, and I can utilize Hubitat's integration and just use the latter container for Polly.

      Did create a separate user on AWS only for TTS usage (there's an access right called "AmazonPollyReadOnlyAccess") and configured key, secret & cache in the container. Then I made the following test rule / reaction in MSR:

      Screenshot 2023-01-20 at 15.32.23.png Screenshot 2023-01-20 at 15.32.38.png

      So if anyone else has the same (or similar) setup, here's one way to achieve neural TTS with Sonos.

    • 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.

    • [Resolved] Determining if button is pushed

      3

      MSR latest-23010-7dd2c9e9 in a Docker image
      HE C7 hub on 2.3.4.130

      I'm trying to determine how to sense that a button has actually been pushed. I added a ThirdReality button to my hub and the current states don't release or reset after a function has been done. I/E: when I push the button, it sets the "pushed" state to 1. Same for all the other functions, double tap, hold, release. Nothing ever goes back to 0 or cleared out.

      If I write my trigger as when "button.pushed" == 1, the current value is already one and the rule stays true all the time. What I'm after is when the button is pushed, the action will toggle the light I want to control.

      I feel like I am missing something or maybe the States of the button are the issue. I can use Rule Machine in my HE and it sees the button as pushed, or held. But I would prefer to have all my logic in MSR.

      And for some reason, I cannot post images. The server keeps giving me a parsing error.

    • Admin user required for Home Assistant Controller status and reactions

      S

      Hi,

      Took me a while to realise the issue here. Just want to share to save others the time of trying to figure out what's wrong.

      Reactor (Multi-hub) stable-22337-1a0a685f Home Assistant 2022.11.5

      Home Assistant integration with non-admin user (access token) will caused the Home Assistant status in Reactor to show as down. Entity info from Home Assistant, however, is being updated. But Reactor is unable to execute any reactions.

      If the user is changed to an admin user in Home Assistant, the status is changed to up and reactions work.

    • [Solved] ZWaveJSUI not responding to ZWaveJSController

      G

      I'm using ZWaveJSUI 1.4.2 within Home Assistant 2023.1.3. ZWaveJSController has been quite happy with it until I upgraded ZWaveJSController to 23010. This morning my iblinds weren't responding at all.

      As I'd made some changes to the rules I figured it was my work and returned it to original rules. No change (iblinds not responding.)

      Restarted MSR.
      Restarted ZWaveJSUI.
      No change.

      Rolled back ZWaveJSController to prior version 22323 and all is well again, iblinds responding.

      Thinking on this as I'm writing it and I realized there was a light on this morning that shouldn't have been. I now realize it's on the ZWaveJSUI as well and didn't turn off last night as the house went to sleep.

      I have the reactor.log if @toggledbits would like it.

    • [MSR] reactor-espresense to track ESPresense BTLE devices/beacons

      therealdb

      My main objective was to track cars/motorcycles in real time, as they are leaving/entering the property, and I've experimented with different solutions, including WiFi devices, but I was not satisfied.

      So, I have approached ESPresense to track BLE devices. I'm not yet 100% satisfied with my main use case (we'll see), but I learnt a couple of things about proximity along the way, so I've built a controller to natively track beacons/devices in MSR. The devices and beacons could be tracked inside Home Assistant, but I don't like the way it's doing it, and I wanted a very device-oriented solution, instead of a room one.

      Introducing reactor-espresense.

      You'll have a device containing various info, like the current room where the beacon/device is currently in, the distance, and so on, for each BTLE device you'll choose to map. Configuration is needed to map your devices, and a look at the doc to understand how devices/beacons are detected away is suggested.

      I've not invested into commands so much, but it's on my TODO list.

      Feel free to post your requests/comments. Thanks!

      I upgraded my OS to Ubuntu 20.04 today and have been regretting it for several hours. I have most of my system up. However, I've found that, when I start Reactor, it panics / reboots my OS. I've included the syslog during startup below. There's a benign message about not finding a Vera device just before the reboot but that's it.

      Needless to say, I've learned my lesson regarding OS upgrades.

    • [MSR] reactor-mqtt-contrib package for additional MQTT templates

      therealdb

      I'm slowly migrating all my stuff to MQTT under MSR, so I have a central place to integrate everything (and, in a not-so-distant future, to remove virtual devices from my Vera and leave it running zwave only).

      Anyway, here's my reactor-mqtt-contrib package:

      GitHub - dbochicchio/reactor-mqtt-contrib: Contrib MQTT templates for Reactor GitHub - dbochicchio/reactor-mqtt-contrib: Contrib MQTT templates for Reactor

      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 🙂

      Noticed in the last few nights that my Global Reaction to turn on a mere six lights in the evenings the same two devices no longer turn on. One is a dimming smart bulb, the other is a wall outlet.

      This has been running flawlessly for months - just in the last few nights I've noticed these two devices being left behind and yes, it's always these two devices only.

      "What changed?"

      • No Hubitat firmware updates
      • No new devices added to Hubitat
      • list itemTwo MSR updates (the last two, I keep up with the latest)
      • list itemHome Assistant releases (should have zero bearing, HA is nothing more than pretty dashboards)
      • list itemAdded MQTT to MSR

      I did do a z-wave "repair" last night and am waiting to see if this helps.

      Is there any maximum or cap on number of devices that should be included in a Global Reaction?

        You don't say specifically, but when you say "dimming smart bulb", I'm thinking plugin, not ZWave. Can be more specific about the devices involved?

        To answer the question asked, no, there's no limit.

          It's a smartbulb, unfortunately Hubitat labels it as "Generic ZWave Smart Dimmer" which is misleading. This appears to be a GoControl Z-Wave Dimmable LED Light Bulb, LB60Z-1.

          The second device is also misleadingly named in Hubitat as "Generic Z-Wave Relay". It is a GoControl WO15Z outlet.

            Something I don't do on Hubitat that I have to do on Vera is pace actions... by default, VeraController will not send actions more frequently than every 25ms, and this pace seems to work (there have not been any complaints about missing actions that can't be attributed to other causes).

            Maybe Hubitat needs it too... that would be a bummer. If adding delays to your reaction resolves the issue, that points in that direction.

              These just happen to be the last two devices in the Global Reaction. I'll add a one second delay ahead of each of them and see what happens tonight.

                So the one second delay was implemented and, upon the anointed time the previously two missing lights were on as expected.

                  OK, so I'll add some pacing to Hubitat as well. That's disappointing.

                    As this has worked flawlessly since MSR was released I'm inclined this is an unfortunate code change somewhere in one of the last releases of Hubitat - although, their last release was some weeks ago. Perhaps something in one of the last couple MSR releases "triggered" something they'd changed that had previously been dormant? Dunno. Thinking aloud.

                      None of the recent code changes to Hubitat would affect the performance of actions. The most notable of the changes was resolution of race condition during startup (when the Mode and HSM states are truly updated during startup), and not remotely close to the action implementation. All of the other changes are trivial, and again, not near the action implementation.

                      It would be easy to prove that the actions are being sent, if you want to run a more detailed test. The logging of actions on Hubitat is, and has been for some time, unconditional, so there will be (or not) evidence in the logs that the actions were sent to Hubitat. If you remove your recently-added delays and run like it was until it fails again, then peruse the logs, I'm pretty sure you'll find those actions were being attempted, at least. I strongly suspect they will be there. If not, there's a high chance we'll see another reason for why they are not.

                      This highlights, again, that reporting problems in the blind isn't useful. The logs are there for a reason. If something on the engine side isn't working as expected, it should be among the first places you look.

                        Removed the delays I'd added and... everything ran just fine for the second night in a row (one with, one sans, the delays.). lol

                          Of course. The performance of the Hubitat and the mesh are also an issue here. It's a complex system with many variables.

                            @toggledbits

                            I believe I am having a similar problem to the one discussed above, the perception that MSR is much faster than Hubitat.

                            I explain.

                            The MSR instantly receives everything that happens in Hubitat, any change of a device when it happens in Hubitat, immediately the MSR recognizes and if there is an action to be taken, immediately evaluates the action and fires the commands.

                            Then comes the problem, when the MSR triggers the actions for Hubitat devices, it loses actions, does not execute everything, hour an action is completed in all steps, hour fails. If I order to active 5 bulbs in sequence, almost always fails some, not always the same, varies on factors that I do not dominate.

                            And it doesn't need to have many actions, I have situations of quick reaction action as just turn on a light also failing.

                            Ok has the factor of the terrible signal from Hubitat (if compared to Vera), a bad management of the mesh network, where I see that the neighbours are poorly mapped and the mesh network poorly built.

                            But the failure scenario also happens with devices connected direct/next to the Hub.

                            In summary, the perception I have is that MSR is much faster than Hubitat that misses actions.

                            Include delay to each action would be a chaos, ok it can be a workaround, but it can't be the final solution.

                            Is it possible to have something in the configuration that creates the delay when sending each command to Hubitat? Like something like 0.5 seconds between actions?

                            I don't know if this would solve it, maybe you guys with more experience can point some way forward as the nightmare I had with Vera now happens on Hubitat.

                            Thanks.

                              As stated in this thread, He added pacing to Hubitat.
                              From the docs:
                              action_pace — sets the minimum delay between actions sent to the hub (i.e. when a Reaction includes many); sending large numbers of requests can overwhelm the hub, it has been found, so this attempts to slow the pace to avoid this issue. The value must be an integer greater than 0, and the units are milliseconds; the default is 25.

                              "the nightmare I had with Vera now happens on Hubitat" If the problem was present before then I doubt that this will solve it.

                                @sweetgenius per your history above, by adding this delay to all actions, did it solve the problem? What time frame are you using? Did you leave the default at 25 milliseconds, or did you add more?

                                  I do not have any history above, Its not my thread nor did I comment until I read your post. I just read the thread and release notes and pointed out that both mention pacing.

                                  Synology Docker MSR, Hubitat, Home Assistant, Homebridge, ZwaveJS, MQTT, NUT controller.

                                      @toggledbits hi master!

                                      I am going into a state of despair with Hubitat, and thinking that I have made a bad switch from VeraPlus to Hubitat.

                                      Well, as you always comment, look at the log, as I already commented my suspicion that the MSR sent all commands to Hubitat, and this one that failed was confirmed, as you mention in your message.

                                      Routines below.

                                      67373a04-9814-4a02-aac3-c52757a66307-image.png

                                      Looking at the log, I don't understand what sequence the MSR performed, but I see that all of the above actions were sent to Hubitat without fail.

                                      I have checked each of the devices, all are in the log. I am even using the action_pace: 100 setting and I see that the interval was obeyed.

                                      But out of 10 lights that should be on, as you can see on the Hubitat's panel only 2 were.

                                      Sorry @toggledbits to ask, and I will understand if you don't answer because I see that the MSR is perfect.

                                      Any recommendations for Hubitat? Reset the whole Z-wave radio and pair it again? Any APP that can check radio occupancy or Hubitat processing? Maybe you with your experience can give me some guidance, and again sorry, I know it is not MSR, but I'm almost back to the Vera with all its problems of drive and evolution.

                                        @wmarcolin I don't have a Hubitat myself but have you looked at the logs on the hub per https://docs.hubitat.com/index.php?title=Logs for hints of what is happening when set reaction fires?

                                          @wmarcolin Something you've not surfaced, wireless interference. How close is your Hubitat to your WiFi router (they should not be near each other as they will interfere due to the frequencies in use), how close are your z-wave hubs to each other, etc.

                                          Are all devices the kind that are plugged into electricity? I've discovered with some battery-operated devices that they sleep a lot to conserve battery and that delays actions. My iblind controllers are a perfect example: sending a refresh first and then the command seems to make them much happier regarding responding to commands.

                                          As @toggledbits noted in a response to me previously in the thread (and you've supported), the mesh plays a huge role, too.

                                          I had a Veralite and then moved to a VeraSecure. I've done direct comparisons between my VeraSecure and Hubitat using MSR to trigger the rules and the Hubitat was much faster. That, amongst other reasons, is why my VeraSecure is now completely offline.

                                            @wmarcolin said in [Solved] Is there a cap or max number of devices a Global Reaction should not exceed?:

                                            Looking at the log, I don't understand what sequence the MSR performed, but I see that all of the above actions were sent to Hubitat

                                            Hmmm. I can't answer for the Hubitat part, but I explain the order. The first three actions in nGarden<SET> are Run Reaction, so these enqueue those reactions with the executive -- they are not run in-line. That's why you see the three "Enqueueing" lines, followed by a resume of nGarden<Set> from step 4. We see the action output for device 298, which is step 3 (numbered from 0), before the enqueue messages because enqueueing itself is an asynchronous operation, so the executive quickly started the three Run Reaction enqueue requests, then ran the device 298 Entity Action. Running an entity action is asynchronous, so the executive had to wait for that operation to finish. Since it went into a wait state, the tasks for the three Run Reaction enqueues could run, so they did. When they were done and the 298 device action was finished sending, nGarden<SET> could then resume from step 4 (numbered from 0, so 5 as we look at it). That's device 296 so we see that on the next line. Again, device actions have to wait for the send, so execution paused of nGarden<Set> paused there, which allowed nLight Garden ON, the first of the three enqueued reactions, to start and send its first command to device 97. That blocked that reaction, so nLight Security ON was next in the queue and it started and sent its first device action to 197. That blocked that reaction, so nLight Corredor Evening started and ran its first action against 419. It blocked, of course, so everything paused about 70ms until nGarden<Set> became the first ready task, so it resumed at step 5 (from 0, or 6 as we count from 1). And so on, until all were sent.

                                            I'm not sure what your pacing configuration was at this point, but overall it appears about right for the number of tasks sent. It's hard to tell without more debug on, and maybe I'll add some "standard" messages about device queueing while we're looking at this (since debug on a Controller instance can be very large and a bit like sipping from a firehouse).

                                            One thing to note also is that each Entity Action blocks while sending -- the reaction waits for the hub to acknowledge the request. For that to happen, the request must be sent, and the hub has to give an HTTP 200 (OK) response to the request (if it gives an error, that would be logged, and there are no errors logged in this snippet). So at the least, the hub has acknowledged the request, but that doesn't mean it has completed the request, let alone that the request was successful in its overall execution (e.g. manipulating the device). That's a different and much bigger problem.

                                            I'm not done looking at this. I want to study the timing more carefully as well. There's something about it that doesn't seem right to me. As I said, I'm going to add some more standard (non-debug) diagnostic output to this while we're looking at it, and roll a new release later today, for you to try and send me new logs.
