In Home Assistant I have an integration that if I add entities to it, I will get the following error in MSR as certain entity values I'm using in expressions are null for a moment. This is more or less cosmetic issue and happens very rarely as I rarely modify that integration on the hass side.

And the expression is

Could I "wrap" hass-entity shown above somewhat differently to prevent this error from happening? Using build 24302.
Hello
I am trying to set up Multi System Reactor to automate routines across multiple smart home devices & platforms (e.g., Home Assistant, SmartThings, and Hubitat). While I have successfully linked the systems; I am facing issues with:
-Delays in triggering actions on secondary devices.
-Inconsistent execution of complex logic conditions.
-Synchronization of states between devices when one system updates.
Is there a recommended way to optimize performance & confirm seamless state sharing across systems?
I have checked https://smarthome.community/category/22/multi-system-reactor-msbi guide for reference but still need advice.
Any tips on debugging or log analysis to pinpoint where the issue arises would also be appreciated.
Thank you !
I've managed to use MSR UI on iOS devices to some degree*, so that although UI elements (e.g. rule sets) are not visible in portrait mode, you've seen them in landscape. Now with recents builds (24302) this does not work anymore, elements (rule sets, entities) are not anymore visible in landscape mode.
Does anyone have similar experiences? Using iOS 18 and Safari/Chrome browser.
( *Drag & drop of rule conditions have never worked on a mobile)
@toggledbits Since I have upgraded ZWaveJSController to 24293 from 24257 I am seeing entries related to registering action set_volume, but action is not defined by the capability 143 every time I restart Reactor.
The Siren seems to be doing what it is supposed to do. The volume levels are fine. Should I worry about it?
Reactor version 24302
ZWaveJSController version 24293
Z-Wave JS UI version 9.27.4
zwave-js version 14.3.4
I have the following ACL defined:
groups: admin: users: - admin applications: true api_acls: # This ACL allows users in the "admin" group to access the API - url: "/api" group: admin allow: true log: true # This ACL allows anyone/thing to access the /api/v1/alive API endpoint - url: "/api/v1/alive" allow: trueAnd I have authenticated to MSR as "admin" user. However, I'm getting "access denied" when trying to access http://*******:8111/api/v1/log
So what I'm missing, is my ACL incorrectly defined?
Using build 24302 on Docker.
Thanks to @toggledbits for adding a custom CSS. I've started doing a darker Reactor style.
Here's the file: https://gist.github.com/dbochicchio/825098ac13b7f8cac22012eae37ff7ce
A couple of things are still too bright and I'll eventually catch-up. Just place it under your /config directory, naming the file as customstyles.css. Hard refresh your browser.
Hi
I have just connected a bunch of EzloPi controllers to MSR to import some ESP based devices etc.
They all seemed to have worked and imported in to MSR apart from I have one missing device. It is a Digital Gas Sensor device.
This is how that device looks in the Ezlo API.

They have an EzloPi website here you can create your own sensor projects using ESP boards, which is very interesting stuff!
And I just wrote on the Ezlo forum here, how to connect an EzloPi controller to MSR.
THANKS.
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.A couple of things for you @toggledbits, since you mentioned that this release has new features and some tweaks are expected.
Local expressions cannot be deleted. Pushing the X button has no effect for me.
When cloning an entity action, the result is strange (first is cloned one, second is the original action):
a92ea094-9e2c-4aaa-bf47-2d07a6ffdbd0-image.png
When changing the action on the cloned element, the params are added to the original one. See screenshot:
92ac3011-83c8-466b-bd23-47d483ad7a52-image.png
Dark theme has a couple of strange contrasts. One is visible in the previous screenshots (white text on yellow background). Another one is in groups (blue text on blue background):
9b3c4988-53ef-44e6-9672-30e744cacb75-image.png
Overall, I found blue, yellow, red and green (in buttons and forms) to be too bright.
On the bright side:
I love the new script action: thank you! The dark theme is a great start to avoid getting blinded at night I promise I'll try very soon the new features around actions. Thanks!@toggledbits
I just upgraded to version MSR 24293, bare metal running on Fedora. Upon restart, I am getting a error banner:
I followed the new directions about npm
npm i --no-save --no-package-lock --omit dev
Any idea what the issue is?
Seems like switching the UI to the newly added dark mode (thank you for this) does nothing. The UI stays in light mode and only a few buttons turn into dark mode (see screenshot)

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?

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.

Trying to setup InfluxDB breaks my MSR install
-
Hi
I've just done a clean install of Bullseye OS on my Raspberry Pi and I am trying to setup MSR with InfluxDB.
I have managed to get the old VeraFlux plugin working OK with the new InfluxDB installation on the Pi, so think I have the InfluxDB installation correct and working.
However ideally I'd like to use MSR instead. I created a "reactor" database and created a username and password.
In the reactor config file I added this at the end of it
plugins: - id: influx name: InfluxDB 1.x Feed enabled: true implementation: InfluxFeed config: influx_url: http://192.168.0.36:8086 influx_database: reactor influx_username: myuser influx_password: "mypassword" # note use of quotes
However when I restart MSR it doesn't come back up again. If I comment out all of that plugins section in the config file and restart the box, then MSR loads OK again. So I must be doing something wrong?
Influx running on the Pi is version 1.8.10.
MSR is running on a different Linux Debian box.
Not sure how to update to InfluxDB 2.0, maybe I should do that?
I looked in the log file and searched for "Influx" but nothing was found.
Thanks

Check that you don't have tabs instead of spaces in your indenting. You can check
/var/log/syslog
for additional startup errors.Also did you run the install script?
Edit: just noticed that
config
and all below are not correctly indented. -
Did I run the install script? No I haven't.
Is it a separate install now for the InfluxDB plugin? And how do you do it?
The help page just says
"At the moment, InfluxFeed is included in all Reactor distributions. In a future release, it will be a separately-installed component"
-
MSR is starting now, I think my reactor.yaml config file was a bit out of date. I just copied the whole plugins section from the dist-config reactor.yaml file version and pasted it in to mine and then edited it. Now MSR is starting up again OK.
I've just connected Grafana to the "reactor" DB source on InfluxDB OK. But as yet no measurements are appearing yet for some reason. I'm not sure if MSR is actually outputting data or how to check it, other than trying to do a query in Grafana.
Only thing I wasn't sure about was this:
influx_org - Organization ID (required)
influx_org: "<your-influx-organization>" -
Maybe the plugin isn't actually installed then. I see this in the MSR log:

I meant the Reactor install script for RPi. Missing packages are usually a failure to complete the install. See the docs.

MSR isn't running on the Pi. Its running on a bare metal Linux Debian box, version is 22004-6d6c6b7.
InfluxDB is running on a Pi however.
-
OK, but the point is the same. The error message suggests that the install steps on the Debian side weren't done, and one step in particular, step 6. The dependencies for Reactor haven't been installed, or may be very out of date (there have been several releases where I've recommended running
npm
to update them). -
Thank you, that was the bit I wasn't sure how to do.
It seems to be working now and populating stuff in Grafana from the "Reactor" DB.
Is that all the device capabilities available in that screen shot? For example could we add a Light Level Sensor (LUX) in to a graph ? I tired binary_sensor but could not see any LUX sensors under "name" or under "entity" and looking for the Vera device ID number I wanted.
I able to do that using the old VeraFlux plugin earlier. But I want to ditch that plugin now and just use MSR ideally.
Thank you.

The docs describe how to select capabilities for export. The section after also describes how to restrict which entities are exported, if that's an additional thing you may want to do.
-
No worries. I just don't want to rehash, and if the docs end up not being adequate, I want to know that, too. The abbreviated default list of capabilities is to avoid the "sipping from a firehose" effect... as I think you've seen on the Recently Changed Entities list on the Status page, device changes are many and frequent, especially from Vera hubs (much of it caused by polling and the resultant updating of polling state/control variables that most people don't care about).

FYI only/anecdotally: I am using both 1.8 with Grafana and 2.0 with it's native graphing. Grafana is subtly prettier, for sure, but I'm not sure it outweighs the convenience of having one less piece of software to install. The only thing I haven't verified for 2.0's graphing is that you can do equations/functions as additional traces. I do that on my temp+humidity graphs in Grafana to compute the dew point; it didn't jump out at me how to do it in 2.0's native graphing, so I owe that a few minutes at some point, but at the moment, I'm trying to button up a ton of work to roll out in a new (MSR) release.
