    • Call Service Automation Trigger not Working

      Pabla

      Been trying to call the service automation:trigger to trigger an automation on my HA. Below is the screenshot of the reaction but every time I hit the play button to test it nothing happens. I called the service locally on HA and it worked fine. MSR latest-22203-d7cd6357 and HA 2022.8.3. No errors in HASS logs or Reactor logs. 715cd920-effd-4d31-8ac3-ba34ef29185c-image.png

    • TTS in MSR?

      F

      Hi!

      In Home Assistant I sometimes uses the TTS, either to my Sonos or Google speakers. With reactor in Vera I also use TTS.
      But in MSR I can't select the TTS-service. It's simply not there. Am I missing something, or is this the case, so far?
      Thanks!

    • "changes from" operator stops to detect change

      tunnus

      I have the following rule:

      Screenshot 2022-08-09 at 17.33.39.png

      Use this to detect errors in Nibe uplink service, and every time updated data is fetched, a timestamp is stored. This triggered already yesterday, but re-triggered as I tried to manually recover this rule with a reset (hence there's no original "true as of xxx" time).

      So as a clarification, service works now and timestamps are updated, but this rule does not "recover" (stays triggered / SET). Did also restart MSR during this situation, though it was not related to this.

      The condition where there was no change (and rule was working correctly) lasted over 24 hours.

      Running MSR 22179 on Synology Docker. Can PM relevant logs if needed.

    • Parsing the output of http request

      tunnus

      I'd like to extract a specific part of a response to http request, in this case of link https://www.nibeuplink.com/Welcome#service_message. If there's something in "service_message" I'd store it & send using Telegram.

      I reckon I'd have to use something similar as in this thread?

    • How Does MSR Handle New/Deleted Entities

      Pabla

      Deleted some entities from HA and added some new ones but MSR is still showing the old ones and not all of the new ones. I restarted MSR and it hasn't changed, is there anyway to manually discover new entities and delete the old ones? Most of the new entities have shown up but a few haven't, however none of the deleted entities were removed from MSR.

      I checked the core.entity_registry in HA and none of the entities that are shown in MSR are there.

      Edit: I see the delete option under the entities tab in MSR, is that the only way to delete them?

    • Troubles Running MSR as a Service

      Pabla

      Successfully got MSR to run on a VM running Ubuntu 22.04 but am running into an issue with getting to run MSR as a service. Here is what my reactor.service file looks like below.

      However when I go to run the service I see this error: reactor.service: Failed at step CHDIR spawning /usr/bin/node: No such file or directory. Checked and the node file exists in this directory. Kinda stuck at this point, probably a simple fix but I am way in over my head 😰

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

      A

      Hey crew,
      I'm running into an issue where MSR's reactions aren't successfully running, and I can't figure out what's gone wrong.

      Backstory-- we had a big thunderstorm roll through the other day, we lost internet and the storm got bad so I unplugged most items in my homelab, including the Pi that's running MSR.

      Now that everything is powered back up, the reactions aren't running correctly. Most of my MSR automations are to use motion sensors to turn lights on/off, and I immediately noticed that even when a motion sensor is tripped, the light doesn't turn on like it's supposed to.

      I've 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 motion motion sensors are correctly reporting to Vera and MSR (I can see when they're sensing motion)
      -the rules within MSR are working correctly, I can see when they flip to 'true' when I walk by a motion sensor
      -I can successfully run the Reaction within MSR (by hitting the 'play' button)

      But for whatever reason, when everything needs to work together, it doesn't successfully run the action. IE: the motion sensor trips, reports it to MSR, I can see MSR going "true" but the light does not turn on. Open to any suggestions, thank you!

    • Evaluation of time() comparisons

      CatmanV2

      Apologies in advance, I expect I am going to make a total pig's ear of explaining, so please bear with me....
      (and if it's in the manual, just tell me to read the manual)

      Going back to my heating scenario:
      We have an alarm clock that goes off at a variable time.
      We want the heating to go off at a time before that (1 hour)
      so we have created the rule set as below:
      Screenshot 2022-07-28 at 16.40.13.png

      So if current time is >= to the HeatTime, the first condition goes true.
      The second condition is to ensure that nothing (tries to) turn(s) the heating off during that 1 hour window
      The interval is there because in Reactor there was precisely that to (from memory) 'make sure the variables updated'
      In the current state it kind of works. There is no Reset action, so the heat goes on once every 15 minutes during that hour.
      In Reactor I didn't have to include the interval in the rule set. It was a stand alone rule as here:
      Screenshot 2022-07-28 at 16.47.23.png

      If I move the Interval condition out of the rule set in MSR, things do not update as time changes (and the rule never sets)

      So I guess the question I'm trying to ask it 'what causes expressions like
      time() >= HeatTime

      To be evaluated, and is there a better way than I've done here?

      Apologies again 😞

      I've been running into an issue with a couple APIs wherein they return the error FetchError: network timeout....

      A retry resolves but my ask here is around how I can monitor within MSR and trigger (at least) a notification if not a retry after a short delay.

    • Vera -> HASS Migration Strategy (question)

      T

      Hi All -

      I'm currently working through a slow migration from Vera to Home Assistant with MSR being a pivotal piece of the equation.

      I have begun the effort of moving some ZWave devices as well (from Vera to HA). Unlike others that use Vera for the ZWave radio, I'm looking to completely remove it from my ecosystem, eventually.

      My issue is I have some Vera Scenes that are designed to be manually executed by the Vera Mobile app. Examples: "Go to Sleep", "Panic - Lights On", etc (Wife Acceptance Factor)

      I think MSR is the right place for any new "Scene" (including manual scenes); and from my reading, a Global Reaction makes sense.

      Question 1: Can anyone recommend a way to execute a Global Reaction from a Vera scene? I've seen some examples of HTTP calls to MSR so I assume this is it (perhaps custom Luup which I know very little about).

      Question 2: How can I (manually) execute this Reaction from Home Assistant? I'm slowly building out my custom Dashboard using "Mushroom".

      Or, maybe there's a better way. Always open to constructive criticism.

      Thanks.

    • MSR setup for http request (today's date)

      T

      I would like to extract the daily gas price from my fuel supplier's API. The http call is as follows: https://octopus.energy/api/v1/tracker/G-1R-SILVER-2017-1-M/daily/past/90/1/

      I need to pick the current (i.e. today's) gas price. If I search through the text manually I can find today's data, in this case 2022-07-20.

      Can I set MSR up to do a http request and then extract the "unit_rate" into a variable so that I can set another rule up to determine if it would be cheaper to heat my hot water using the immersion heater or gas (FYI my off peak electricity price is £0.075 per kwh). Any help or guidance as always is much appreciated.

      I'm running MSR on raspberry PI 4 in docker version 22168

      Thanks.

    • Variables for fun and profit

      CatmanV2

      Well the use of expressions in my Idiot Question over there has opened many new and exciting doors which I am itching to run through. This one has slammed in myu face 😞

      So in reactor we have an expression:
      getstate( 46, "urn:upnp-org:serviceId:VClock1", "AlarmTime" )
      which returns
      Last result: "05:15:00"
      Then we convert this to time one hour earlier:
      time(AlarmTime) - 3600
      which returns
      Last result: 1658373300

      Cool!

      In MSR:
      getstate is not supported
      getEntity("vera>AlarmClock").attributes.x_vera_svc_upnp_org_VClock1.AlarmTime
      Returns:
      Last value: (string) "05:15:00"
      Marvellous!
      time (AlarmTime)
      Returns
      Last value: (null) null

      Boo! Hiss!

      OK seriously, is there a reference I've missed or somewhere I can look at this stuff. time() in Lua returns the epoch time which is fab, but what's my equivalent to the time usage in Reactor?

      TIA

      CatmanV2

      Starting to (very slowly) migrate and improve some of my automation from Reactor to the fabulous MSR. Couple of questions which are probably really obvious but, well, you know me 😞

      Is it possible to repeat an action from a set rule? i.e. if the rule remains triggered for an hour, re-run the set reaction. And to continue re-running that every hour until the rule is reset?

      Sorry if it's really stupid.

    • Using duration of a rule or trigger in an expression

      D

      Hi, I have a rule that I have been using in the Vera version of Reactor for a number of years and I am trying to recreate it in MSR and need some advice. The rule monitors the state of our garage door and sends a regular alert if the door has been open for a period of time. The alert contains a variable/expression that provides the duration in minutes the door has been open - eg the end notification looks like this: "The door has been open for X minutes"

      I have everything working OK in MSR except for constructing the expression to provide the duration the door has been open. In Reactor I was using the 'getstate' function in an expression to get the runtime of the rule and then converting that to minutes and passing it to the notify action.

      In MSR I can't work out how to get any info from a rule within an expression.

      The trigger is a simple pulse every X minutes so I was hoping it would be possible to just get the duration of either the rule or the time the door has been open. In the documentation there is a lot of info on getting details of entities, but I couldn't find anything on getting the status of the rules within MSR as it doesn't look like they show up as entities? I hope I didn't miss that part of the doco.

      I did a bit of searching but couldn't find any discussion on getting this type of info so I'm hoping someone will be able to point me in the right direction.

      I'm using build 22179 on Docker and the devices are currently in Vera but I am likely to move them to HASS at some point.

    • 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).

        @talisker They mention that their web interface uses "AJAX techniques" to update the page dynamically, which suggests there is an HTTP API (they don't say explicitly; it may just be undocumented but could be reverse engineered/guessed). So it seems possible, but you should get some detailed developer documentation out of them before purchase. If it has an HTTP API, you can get what you need through HTTP queries.

        I've pondered doing an SNMP interface, but in a year of development you're the first person (I believe) to suggest a device for which SNMP would be a useful comms protocol. It's on my idea list, but not on my schedule.

              @rogero thanks for the suggestion. Once upon a time I'd have had a go. I am also a little reluctant to dive into mqtt due to me never seeming to have enough time. However one of these days I might make the plunge.

                @talisker if you use Tasmota, there's also an HTTP API you could call. That's true for ESPHome or Shelly as well.

                Right now all my stuff is running thru MQTT (on my own homemade broker) and honestly, it's just fire and forget after the initial setup. MSR can also map MQTT entities quite easily.

                      In that case my suggestion for the ESP32 board seems easiest. Haven't been following the MQTT to MSR integration that Patrick is building, but I assume you could just publish the readings from the ESP32 to MSR directly. The ESP32 is about $10 and the google has lot's of examples of code.

                          Just looked at Patrick's MQTT add on and it requires an external MQTT broker, so not quite plug and play.

                                    Pretty sure it does - I'm using the plugin under openLuup but I used to have it running on a Vera.

                                      @a-lurker I took the plunge and purchased an OW server (Ethernet). The system is up an running with my one wire connected devices. I am however having a little problem with the OWServer Vera app on my Vera Plus. On the face of it the app is working and picking up the one wire devices:
                                      4df7fed6-b8ec-470c-9a44-a0677a404fb2-image.png

                                      However, when I go into the 'Add Devices' menu there are none of the sensors shown - the page is blank:

                                      fda79bfe-de00-4766-a95e-009f08bc7429-image.png

                                      I did a bit of googling and found the following information: https://github.com/dbemowsk/OW-SERVER_Emulator

                                      I did try uploading the J_OWServer.js file as @dbemowsk suggested, but it did not solve the problem I have with vera not showing the one wire devices. I have no idea what he is explaining is the problem with the original files from the app store.

                                      I appreciate that you don't have a Vera Plus, but if you could make any suggestions as to what to try I'd appreciate any input you can offer!

                                      I guess that unless I get up an running I will need to find another route to pulling the values into MSR.

                                        Pretty sure you can get it to work. Use the most recent version of the plugin here. The plugin in the MIOS App Store is well out of date.

                                        Your screen capture can be interpreted as the following - how many devices to you have attached?

                                        Devices: 14
                                        Chn 1 error count: 0
                                        Chn 2 error count: 0
                                        Chn 3 error count: 0
                                        EDS OW server web page
                                        

                                        You need to do a few luup engine restarts to get the child devices to show up.

                                        You can use AltUi to install the plugin from the Alt App Store: see More->AppStore. Not using AltUI? It's highly recommended.

                                        If I remember correctly, all the one wire devices are created automatically on first run of the plugin. So on my dashboard it says "No new devices to add" as they have already been added.

                                        "J_OWServer.js file as @dbemowsk suggested" - this bug has already been resolved in the plugin at the link above, so please use the J_OWServer.js file that comes with the Alt App store plugin.

                                        Many of the plugins in the MIOS App Store are hopelessly out of date - refer to the Alt App store list. for updated versions.

                                        All else fails; check the log - once again this can be seen using AltUi -> Misc -> OS Command --> Tail Logs

                                          Noted. I rolled back to my vera backup prior to my attempts yesterday. I then downloaded the files from the github link and loaded into my vera.
                                          I had to set up the OW Server device manually (troubles with ALTUI - see below).

                                          I get the following now:

                                          d35915de-0bbe-48bb-ad93-3d22d213ccbc-image.png

                                          You can see that it does not show the three channels now, but it confirms that I have fourteen devices (which is correct).

                                          You need to do a few luup engine restarts to get the child devices to show up.

                                          I have done numerous Luup engine restarts, but the devices still do not show up in 'Add Devices'.

                                          You can use AltUi to install the plugin from the Alt App Store: see More->AppStore. Not using AltUI? It's highly recommended.

                                          I did install ALTUI, but I was not able to install OW-Server using it. The first time I pressed the install button it thought about it for a few seconds but did not install the OW Server device. Now when I press it I get an error:

                                          ffab187b-27f0-479b-aa2b-d3f21c0919cd-image.png

                                          The have not been created, possibly because there is an error.....

                                          "J_OWServer.js file as @dbemowsk suggested" - this bug has already been resolved in the plugin at the link above, so please use the J_OWServer.js file that comes with the Alt App store plugin.

                                          I get the following error in the Alturi app (similar in the vera UI) and Vera log:

                                          f68f5954-bc1b-4e8f-98e7-198946248735-image.png

                                          You can see from the vera log (http://192.168.68.103/cgi-bin/cmh/log.sh?Device=LuaUPnP) the requisite jasn.lua library file cannot be found. Now I am hoping this is all I need (deposited in the right place in vera) to get the OW Server device up an running. So, where do I get this file and where do I put it (please be polite!!).![768cd707-8727-4ce9-a06e-717661411e31-image.png]

                                            Looking at the log it says its missing json.lua. This message tells me you are still running the old plugin from the MIOS store.

                                            Not sure what hardware you are using? The old Vera 3 can't access the Alt App store as the comms library is too antiquated. Regardless you can just download the files from GitHub and overwrite the mios ones. Use the Vera user interface (ie not directly with SSH) as Vera compresses the files when you upload them via the UI. In Vera 3 they end up in etc\cmh-ludl as "lzo" files

                                            The latest version of the plugin looks for ten different possibly available json libraries - see this GitHub link.

                                            If you look in (a Vera 3) /usr/lib/lua you may find dkjson.lua, which in this case is a sym link to /mios/usr/lib/lua/dkjson.lua

                                            You can use the command in AltUI --> Misc --> OsCommand -->Find Json to see what might be available to you. Note that this search doesn't always find what's available. But I would expect dkjson.lua is available and will be found and used by the latest version of the plugin.
