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)
Hi @toggledbits,
I have lots of logs with this:
<Engine:ERR> Assignment to alarm ignored -- expression-driven global cannot be set by assignmentAny hints to where look at to avoid this? Thanks.
Hi @toggledbits
I'd like to update my controllers with these new features, but I'm struggling to find any guidance in the docs - and in general to understand the context.
Could you please elaborate more? Thanks.
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!
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!

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?

Hi!
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.

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 🙂
[Solved] Arm for Eastern Standard Time/Daylight Saving Time
-
Where are our
latchingexperts?Daylight Saving Time here in the States has begun. I'd like to create a couple "Arm for" rules for potential referencing for iblinds rules.
- DST starts the second Sunday in March at 02:00 ET.
- EST starts the first Sunday in November at 02:00 ET.
Here's what I have so far:
And the latching:
I've done the trick with changing the
test datediscussed in another thread here that allows for time travel back to when the latch should start. It took a few attempts and I finally had it do the 03:00 ET hour because, technically, the 02:00 ET doesn't exist during the transition to DST.Current status:
Anyone with experience with this feel free to heckle my work with the goal being to beat this thing into submission

I tried to follow your example but I'm confused. Shouldn't the "and the rest" rule start on April 1st instead of March 1st? I'm definitely not a latching expert, so maybe I'm the wrong person to try to understand what you've done.
Not being competent with latching, the approach I would probably take would be to create an expression 'is_dst' and have a rule that sets it to true on the second Sunday of March at 0300 and sets it to false on the first Sunday in November at 01:59:59. Initially set it to the correct value and then just refer to the expression whenever a rule needs to know if DST is in effect. Seems simpler to me and I think it would work just as well.
My state legislature is considering a bill to stay on DST permanently. It would require federal approval, so it's probably not going to happen anytime soon, but there's another way to solve the problem.
-
@gwp1 I'm not actually doing this, that was just my thoughts on how it could be done (= untested speculation
). I think it would have to be two rules. That way each rule is firing at one specific date and time and you wouldn't be trying to create a rule that is active at all dates and times between DST start and DST end, which I think leads you down the OP's path using latching. If you have one rule with a reset action there's no need for the expression, you could just use the rule state to tell if it's DST. -
@alan_f I gave it some thought last night and came to the same conclusion: two rules, each essentially recording the variable at the designated trigger time/s.
Using the Test Date functionality in
reactor.yamlI was able to trigger the DST start successfully.That's the joy of MSR: more than one way to the end game.
-
@gwp1 I thought I'd chime in on this. The latest release includes a
dstflag in the Sun Information entity as a simplification, but here's my version using conditions, because I think it's useful to have more examples with latching to ponder:
The first subgroup, named "Start", detects the start of DST (here in the US, second Sunday in March). at (or after) 2am. This group is the latching element, so the group itself has the latched option enabled. Once it goes true, it remains latched true until its peer group, named "End", goes false.
The second subgroup, "End", detects the end of DST (the first Sunday in November for US). It is a NOT AND group, meaning it is true except after 2am on the change date. At that time, it goes false, and this allows the latched "Start" group to reset.
The key thing to remember is that a latched condition (either a single condition or a group) must be paired in an AND group with at least one other non-latched condition that can reset it. Since the "Start" and "End" groups are contained in the rule's enclosing AND group, that serves the function.
S. 623 was passed by the US Senate on March 15 and is on its way to the House. If it passes, then at least here in the US, we may soon not need to worry about any of this.
-
@toggledbits I saw your release notes and immediately dropped 22080 in place and went straight to the
variablerules I'd built from @Alan_F's comment and disabled them in favor of the system's SunInfodstflag. I didn't delete the others - I really want to fully grasp latching.I'm not holding my breath on the possible law - it was written back in 2021 and the House keeps putting it in committee.
Fingers crossed!
