    • 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).

      toggledbits

      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.

    • [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??

    • Alexa TTS via Home Assistant?

      T

      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")

    • Integrate UPS with MSR

      Has anyone tried to bring the information into the MSR? Or even a VeraPlus?

      It appears that in the Manual, under Management>Network Status is for Reactor on Vera. Is the Internet check functionality available with MSR and if so is there updated instructions? I do see a variable reactor_system.internet.ok but the value is null.
      I am looking for a way to check for internet status with MSR before installing an extra app on a hub to get the information.

    • 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,
      Mike
