I have a use case where I need to have a boolean variable that will be set to true/false by reactions.
I see that i can define a local variable by giving it a name and leaving the definition empty. This leaves it at state "null" until a reaction tells it that its a boolean.
Is there a way to tell it that it should start out as "false" (i.e when reactor has restarted), and not null?
Am i going about this the wrong way?
-- The use case is that I have a sensor on my fireplace, and the following logic is for notifying when its time to get up en refill with firewood.. I also want to reset the MaxInInterval to CurrentTemp when notification is sent..

Converting from Vera Plus to Hubitat at two different locations. The two sites are interconnected via a router-to-router VPN. I currently have a Hubitat C7 running at Site One and a Vera Plus at Site Two. The MSR Raspberry Pi is co-located with the Vera Plus at Site Two. I "activated" a Hubitat C8 (ethernet connected) at Site Two including the installation of Hub Information Driver and its associated device. I also installed a single zwave outlet module (GE ZW4202). I restarted MSR. The C8 and its associated devices appear on both the Entities page and the MSR Dashboard, but the C8 reports as down on the MSR Status page and the GE outlet does not respond when "clicked". I am not sure where to look to try to find the source of the problem and will greatly appreciate any suggestions.

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 guys,
I want to import my reactor sensors in the MSR addon for Home Assistant, but I can't find the app.js file anywhere. So now I don't know where to put the backup file.
I have not tried to put it in the main directory (config/reactor) yet. Wanted to know if I'm the only one with the problem.
Reactor addon: v0.0.8
MSR: 23063-c464b685
Home Assistant 2023.3.3
Supervisor 2023.03.1
Operating System 9.5
Frontend 20230202.0 - latestI started with v0.0.7, have just updated everything. Still no file.

I'm a little bit confused how to configure extended capabilities for the entities in the MQTTController.
mqtt_cababilities.yaml states that: "...You can add your own capabilities by adding a "capabilities" section to your own local_mqtt_capabilities.yaml file in your config directory."
So I did this in my local_mqtt_capabilities.yaml in the config directory:
version: 22353 revision: 1 format: 1 capabilities: x_my_config: attributes: partyMode: type: bool actions: some_action: topic: '%topic/write' payload: "some value"And in my reactor.yaml I have following configuration entry:
my-config: name: 'My custom configuration' topic: 'my-config' query: "%topic%/read" init: "%topic%/read" capabilities: - x_my_config primary_attribute: x_my_config.partyMode events: "%topic%/status": "x_my_config.partyMode": json_payload: true expr: "payload.partyMode"This sort of works but not quite. The partyMode attribute gets updated when messages arrive for that specific topic, so that's fine. But I don't see x_my_config capability in the Capabilities list in the UI and also the some_action is missing.
Screenshot from 2023-03-09 19-42-49.png
Addition to that the primary value is not set and I'm getting the following error:
Screenshot from 2023-03-09 19-30-42.pngHave I completely misunderstood the idea behind the capability extension and the attributes? If so, could someone point me to the right direction with few explanatory example configs.
What I'm trying to achieve is a set of configuration options that could be updated thru the MQTT, and also provide some actions that the rules could invoke.

Installing MQTTController on Home Assistant Core when Reactor is installed as an Add-In (VirtualBox)
Running Home Assistant Core under VirtualBox (on Windows) and Reactor is installed and working fine as an add-in. What I can't figure out is how to install MQTTController in this situation. I can upload the files and unzip them, but I can't run install.sh in a terminal window because npm is not a part of the Core installation.
It does appear that somewhere in the stack there is a version of docker there between VirtualBox and HA, (I see some references go by in the VirtualBox startup log) but it appears minimal and will not execute the install via the docker technique in your documentation from the VB console.
Is there a way to do this?
Thanks.

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.

@toggledbits somewhere I thought I read that MSR goes thru the items in set reaction and reset reaction in stack order, ie from top to bottom/first to last.
Am I mistaken?

Reactor 23063 running on Windows Bare Metal.
Home assistant 2023.3.1
ESPHome 2023.2.4I've been trying a few ways using some results from search to call a Hass service as a reaction in a Reactor rule.
Specifically, when the PIR in the room senses motion, wake the NsPanel screen.
My Reactions otherwise so far are basic If this then that so I'm way behind what others are doing.
What I want to call as a Reaction:

I suspect if I'm even close to being on the right track, my problems are probably formatting like curly braces etc and lack thereof.
Thanks in advance.

@toggledbits was looking thru rule sets and updating which (new) lights I wanted REMII to impact and saw that this...
4711b0df-5e98-4992-bb25-d0e53203f0e8-image.png
...is showing as (missing) in the rule Deactivatedand looking in the dropdown of Variables it appears I cannot select that local expression (only Global) as I did when originally building this out back in 2021.
27f7025c-057e-441a-88ea-dc4bdf39614d-image.png
In looking at the rule Active Period I'm seeing:
487074ef-3bfa-4a84-b03d-ed6d920c118c-image.png which appears to be pointing to setting a variable in a rule?It's admittedly been a couple years since this was built and it's def not fresh in my memory.

New installation of Reactor version 23063-c464b685 on a Raspberry PI4 with Portainer/Docker.
Report :
No drop-down list on Entity Attribute in "Creation Rule Sets" interface
I can however visualize the entities.
I have configured HomeAssistant and all entities are coming up fine.
I have an unsupported Hass version 2023.3.0b5.
I'm new to Docker and can someone guide me to a solution?

Sorry for another dumb question. Migrating from Vera Alexa to HASS Vera TTS. MSR is on bare metal, Debian Bullseye version 23049
I can get TTS from MSR and basic TTS from MSR which is great!
Trying to get some of the variables I used to use though is stumping me.
In the original MSR, I'd use:
It is now ${{OutingDays}} days until we go to ${{OutingName}}. , Sleep well!for example, and that worked fine (I've not bothered to list the variables as I know the worked)
If I use
{ "message":"It is now${{OutingDays}} days until we go to ${{OutingName}}. , Sleep well!", "data":{"type":"announce", "method":"speak"}, "target":["media_player.everywhere"] }In the data field of the hass service system call it doesn't evaluate the variables (Not really surprised)
So might someone take mercy on me and give me a clue?

I'm back from a vacation and it was the first winter one with MSR.
I have a special vacation mode that's auto-setting after the house is in away mode for at least 18 hours - and that's mostly OK. In this mode, lights are turned on/off automatically, some things are off to preverse powers, etc. Thermostats are automatically set at 17C unless there's solar power. That's mostly OK, except when you have to deal with winters and clouds on the day back home.
Long story short: back from vacation, we found the house at 17C - wife wasn't impressed.
Back in the luup days I had a special override, that I forgot to port to MSR, that was basically like this in MSR (coded on the fly):
32298706-86f7-451e-9700-2baf5d5a23b6-image.png
So, I could tell my system when I'm on vacation and have a last day flag to re-set the house to normal behavior before I'm back. It was just two strings variable in a virtual binary sensor.
I don't want to code this in global expressions, so I'm wondering if it's possible to accomplish this with a Virtual Device, but I'm failing to visualize the correct answer and I'm here for inspiration for what others are doing to tackle this.
I don't want to create 4 separate devices (start date, end date, status, last day) in order to keep it easy and I want to be able to change the start/end date from the UI, to simplify things. Any hint is appreciated 🙂

I updated to the latest version of Reactor this morning. I run reactor (successfully) on a Raspberry PI 4 4GB with SSD 64GB. I also run Home Assistant in Docker. After updating I noticed a disk space critical error warning!
9f4e1ea1-977a-481b-9806-d3d43a4eff04-image.png
I have tried purging the docker install (docker image prune -a)
I have rebooted the Raspberry PI also, and the error messages keep coming.
I have the following disk space:

How do I free up space?
Any help would be appreciated.

Good morning,
I'm trying to recreate some notifications I received on my old Vera system based upon House mode. I migrated from Vera to Home Assistant about 6 months ago, and all the automation I have set up are working great, however, I'm noticing that there were things that were once simple in Vera that are more involved in Home Assistant.In House Modes in Vera, there was a screen where I could select all the devices I wanted to be armed in various house modes. I recreated those house modes in Home Assistant very early on, but what I'm not getting now is notifications for various sensors. For instance, if the system is in Away mode, and interior motion is detected, I would get a Vera push notification on my phone. I've been setting these up one by one using haas>system --> x_haas_system.call_service, then setting the notify device and the message, one by one, but it's repetitious and tedious. For a few devices, like motion sensors on my ground floor, it's not a big deal, but now I'm looking at all the windows in my home, which have sensors on them.
So, enough of the background thesis. Simply put, is there a way to have a group of devices ( like 16 different window sensors ) as an entity, and when they are tripped, send out a notification and state which of those sensors was tripped, all in a single rule?
If I have to copy and edit 16 different rules, I'll do that, but I'd prefer a more elegant way where there is one rule to send out the notifications that tells me what was opened.
Thanks for all your advice/help in advance.

I have upgraded my Hubitat Hub Information Driver to v3 and after the latest MSR update latest-23028 MSR is working ok. The problem is when MSR probes the device it appears to affect the polling in the new Hub Information Device and its data does not update the data fields in Hubitat. If I remove the Hub Information Device from Maker API so MSR can't see it, The Hub information driver updates the data as expected in Hubitat. I added the device back into Maker API the same problem returns in Hubitat. I have tried to have MSR probe a different device by adding a different probe device and probe action in the reactor.yaml per the documentation but it appears then it still uses the Hub Information Device as the probe device instead of the one specified in the reactor.yaml. See Logs below. Is this the intended behavior to always use the Hub Information Driver if found and not use the device in the reactor.yaml file? Any recommendations on how to get MSR and the v3 of the driver to work correctly or can you see what I am doing wrong?

Hey Patrick,
I’m trying to figure out how to run Home Assistant native push notifications from MSR. I have MSR set up to arm my home alarm every night, and when all users are out of the home. I’ve used it for years through Reactor, and it works fine, but when I ran Vera and Reactor for Vera, I would get notifications from Vera when Vera went into different home modes. (Home, Away, Night, etc). I’ve set up Home Modes in HA as well, so I’m looking to get the native push notifications from the HA companion app (i.e., System in Home Mode, System Armed Away, or Good Night, etc) Can I set up notifications from MSR to use those native push notifications, or does that need to be done from HA exclusively?I’m running latest-23028-ddc3fb14 and Home Assistant 2023.1.7.

Hi!
I have MSR latest-23049-1fd87c91 and Home Assistant 2023.2.5.
Every friday and saturday evening I have an active reaction/automation; if any adult is home and someone is in the kitchen, music starts playing from Sonos. That works great. I have different playlists and artist radios for each friday and saturday per month (1:st, 2:nd, ...) Some evenings when I don't play an artist radio, but an ordinary playlist, the songs are always played in the same order. I would like to randomize and stir things up. Is it possible, if so, how, to make Sonos play the songs from a Sonos playlist in random order? I always play playlists that is characterized as my Sonos favorites.
Cheers!

[SOLVED] Will Pulse work for retrying a ruleset if the device hasn't responded as expected
-
I've read and reread the docs re Pulse and am running about 50/50 on thinking I understand it AND that it will work for my needs.
Scenario: Honeywell API gets cranky and doesn't like taking temp change posts for both upstairs and downstairs stats reliably. I've created "correction" rulesets.
At each trigger I've put in Conditions to basically check for the expected match. In this scenario, the temp should be
58
and the stat modeheat
. If either one of those criteria aren't met, the correction ruleset kicks off.Sometimes, though, the retry doesn't take, either, on the first attempt. This is where Pulse and I need to be better acquainted. My goal here is to have the first retry happen and if it fails have the Pulse see the conditions still as
true
and, after waiting a bit, retry up to three more times.I haven't checked logs yet to see if they support my theory that this isn't working - esp hard to nail down this time of year as the weather has the temps going all over the place to the house HVAC goes from heat to neutral to cooling and back again all thru the day.
-
Seems like you're on the right track. Repeating commands when states aren't what they are supposed to be is definitely one application for pulsed output, and I use it that way myself (like you, I have devices controlled by hit-and-miss cloud APIs). I also use it on my router's power switch -- if the Internet is down for more than a certain period, it begins power cycling the router at intervals to attempt recovery.
On your "Down" group, if the conditions have the same "sustained for" timing, then the timing could be done on the group rather than individual conditions within it -- makes things a little tidier to maintain in the long run.
Looks good to me!
-
@toggledbits I thought about putting that at the group level but then wondered if it would require both to trigger so I went more granular.
-
@toggledbits I'm admitting to some confusion. Shouldn't I see the Upstairs trigger that's showing "65", which is "<>60", blinking green and showing the count-up timer showing how much of the 300 secs are remaining?
The trigger is true, 65 is not 60 and, as such, should fire off the 300 second period where it waits for that condition to change. If it doesn't, then the
Reaction
should run and, if that fails, thePulse
kicks in to refire theReaction
a couple three times.What am I missing?
-
It depends and when and how you are doing this. After doing a lot of editing, and in particular where you may be saving along the way as you make changes, things can get into states that they would not be in once the logic edits are finished and all the timing options are applied. That's why there's a "reset" button for the rule... to clear out all the state and start it fresh. Recommended.
-
@toggledbits I think i figured it out AND something else to boot.
So to the ask above, I happened to catch it running this morning. I'm used to basing on "if the thing should be true but it's false" in my
trigger
AND doing so at the individual condition level (vsgroup
which you recommended I try - and I have.) Setting at thegroup
level means the status timer shows in the group bar, not at the individual condition level like I was used to.Now on to something I did notice that is, in reality, the reason it appears like this isn't working...
My scenario:
Multiple HVAC rulesets per mode, ie Heat sans Night, Heat at Night, Neutral, Cooling sans Night, Cooling at Night. Three Arm For rulesets drive which one should be sending to the Honeywell API based on outdoor temps from the wx station. Works like a champ.The course correction rulesets, however, don't turn on and off - they're constantly looking to see if the conditions are met or not, even if that mode isn't the active one. Example, the Neutral correction ruleset is still "running" even if the house is actually in Heating sans Night.
The
pulse
is to provide back-up to the initial correction because sometimes Honeywell just isn't ready yet when the correction first runs. Works brilliantly... except, I've noticed that the pulse is just continuing to run if I leave it at0
(as expected, unmetered retries). I can set it to a count, that's fine - but the count runs out due to running even when that mode isn't active creating a scenario wherein there are no more pulses/retries when that mode IS active.THIS is why it appears not to be working - it's run itself out even when not on active duty, if you will.
This is the Neutral correction ruleset. Right now the house is in Heating sans Night because Arm For Heating is active, Arm For Neutral and Arm For Cooling are not. You'll see the conditions set to
true
are correct, the temps are not58
- obviously, because the heat is set to68
downstairs,65
upstairs. However, this is making the correction ruleset run unnecessarily which, if my thinking is right, means it's wasting CPU/memory/etc. and may be hitting the API (though I've seen no burst of green around the ruleset to show me it is running.)Make sense?
-
@gwp1 said in Will Pulse work for retrying a ruleset if the device hasn't responded as expected:
Make sense?
Not a bit. Sorry. What am I look at/for?
-
@toggledbits I guess first thing, am I correct in that the
pulse
running on the rulesets is wasting system resources if those rulesets aren't "eligible" for running?Trying to think how to rephrase this... ALL of the correction rulesets are running all the time if I implement
0
pulse
. If I implement meteredpulse
then they run themselves out and when they're needed they're already done.These are the Arm For rulesets:
Only one "runs" at a time, obviously, triggering one of these rulesets:
If, due to the aforemented API hit-or-miss sometimes, one of these runs but doesn't get accepted by the API then the appropriate correction runs:
My issue seems to be that all of the corrections are running all of the time if I enable
pulse
at0
. If I meter thepulse
then they runX
times and are done - and when the time comes for them to really run, they're spent already.If the
pulse
running isn't putting an unnecessary load on the system, then I'll set them to0
and leave it be. So... are they? -
@gwp1 said in Will Pulse work for retrying a ruleset if the device hasn't responded as expected:
I guess first thing, am I correct in that the pulse running on the rulesets is wasting system resources if those rulesets aren't "eligible" for running?
No. That's not the case. Unless the underlying condition is true, no pulse train is running. Nothing is happening. I come from the days of room-filling million-dollar computers with 256K (yes, K) of RAM. I don't like wasted cycles.
What is true is that whatever the state of the current pulse may be when it is active is not changed by you editing the rules/condition options at the same time. It is not until the current pulse expires that your new pulse rules will take effect. So if you have a condition that is active right now in the middle of a 120 second pulse, and you edit the timing down to 15 seconds, that 120 second pulse is going to finish; it will not be cut short, it will not stop. When it finishes, the next pulse after will be on your new timing. Likewise, if it's timing a break and the underlying condition is still true, the break timing will finish.
This is why I say, you have to reset the rule after editing it. Your earlier screen shot clearly shows a condition where you edited in the middle of a 120 second pulse break, going from 0 repeats back to 3, and the 120 second pulse break timer is still running. The rule reset function is provided for exactly this circumstance -- to dump existing states and timers. If you don't do the reset, you're going to see really confusing results as Reactor finishes what it was doing before it starts to follow your new instructions.
And if the pulse is "running all the time" then there is a true state on your logic to make it do that. It does not run otherwise.
-
@toggledbits The first sentence I can totally wrap my head around
The last sentence is what's driving this. If you look at the correction ruleset you'll see it's kinda backward from normal in that the
trigger
is when something is NOT a certain temp or HVAC mode. This results in it always being in atrue
state as other rulesets are in effect.Different words:
When Heating or Cooling rulesets are controlling things, Neutral correction showstrue
- because it is. This results inpulse
always running (or, if metered, running out of retries.) -
I see what you're getting at. That's simply a problem with your condition structure. The inner groups can't know how any enclosing groups are going to interpret their output, so of course the pulses run, as well they should -- you've told them to. If that's not what you want, a slight restructure of your logic fixes that.
-
@toggledbits Def not what I want but it's the direct path. "If after running Neutral the conditions don't match, run the correction."
-
@gwp1 said in Will Pulse work for retrying a ruleset if the device hasn't responded as expected:
Def not what I want but it's the direct path. "If after running Neutral the conditions don't match, run the correction."
I'm not sure what that means.
I think all you need to do is create an enclosing group, put all of the conditions/subgroups, including the Rule State condition, into it, and then move the pulse configuration to that upper enclosing group, removing it from the interior groups. The Rule State condition will then gate the pulse train.
-
@toggledbits So this took a major rewrite, esp for the Neutral because you could be going from Heat to Neutral, from Cooling to Neutral, and back again. The goal here, now, is to have it so that something must go
true
and there are far more options to cover than triggering on something goingfalse
. This is what I've arrived at - a second+ set of eyes on my work would be appreciated.I stared at it 'til I'm cross-eyed!
-
I'm thinking still not right. The group with the pulse output needs to be a wrapper group for EVERYTHING else, including the Rule State condition, to my way of looking at it.
-
-
Yes, I think this is closer to what you really want. This keeps the pulses from firing unless the Rule State condition is also true, so that you can (again) use the limited count of pulses, because pulses won't be firing unless all of the conditions AND the rule state are all true. That is, pulses will only happen when the devices aren't set properly for "Neutral" (for a while) and Neutral is the active mode.
You also have to think about your "sustained for" timing. That is also done in the interior, meaning it is done irrespective of whether the Neutral mode is active or not, and that, too, is probably not what you want. The effect is that your correction will fire immediately if the Neutral conditions haven't been met for a while at the time the system is switched into Neutral mode. I imagine you actually want a delay there, since it probably takes a couple of seconds for the transition into Neutral mode to make the round trip through the cloud and devices and be reported back. You need to give it a chance to work/catch up. A simple fix there is to simply add a sustained for delay to the Rule State (is Neutral active) condition, so your logic overall becomes "if the mode has been Neutral for at least 300 seconds and the devices haven't been set properly for at least 300 seconds".
-
@toggledbits HA, funny you bring that last part up because the sun has gone down so the system races thru Neutral to Heating as the temps drop quickly. I did notice the 300 seconds was being ignored, seemingly, and the correction fired on the heels of the change.
I did move the 300 seconds up to the next group level. Since
UP
andDown
both are sub-groups within the larger group I thought it made sense to raise that a level - do correct me if I'm wrong here.Looking into the tweak you noted in your response.
-
@gwp1 said in Will Pulse work for retrying a ruleset if the device hasn't responded as expected:
I thought it made sense to raise that a level - do correct me if I'm wrong here.
This is a good rule of thumb. Well done!
-
@toggledbits QQ, all of these 300 second sustains... they're working concurrently, not consecutively, yes?
