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,
Just wondering how you guys organize your rule sets and rules. I wish I had an extra layer to have some more granularity, but my feature request was not popular.
Maybe there are better ways to organize my rule sets.
I use the rule sets now primarily for rooms. So a rule set per room. But maybe grouping by functionality works better. Any examples/ suggestions would be appreciated.
I have the following yaml configuration in local_mqtt_devices file
x_mqtt_device:
set_speed:
arguments:
speed:
type: str
topic: "command/%friendly_name%"
payload:
type: json
expr: '{ "fan": parameters.speed }'
While this works fine, I'm wondering how this could be changed to "fixed" parameters, as in this case "fan" only accepts "A", "Q" or a numeric value of 1-5?
Hi!
I get this message when I'm on the status tab:
System Configuration Check
The time on this system and on the Reactor host are significantly different. This may be due to incorrect system configuration on either or both. Please check the configuration of both systems. The host reports 2025-04-01T15:29:29.252Z; browser reports 2025-04-01T15:29:40.528Z; difference 11.276 seconds.
I have MSR installed as a docker on my Home Assistant Blue / Hardkernel ODROID-N2/N2+. MSR version is latest-25082-3c348de6.
HA versions are:
Core 2025.3.4
Supervisor 2025.03.4
Operating System 15.1
I have restarted HA as well as MSR multiple times. This message didn´t show two weeks ago. Don´t know if it have anything to do with the latest MSR version.
Do anyone know what I can try?
Thanks in advance!

I have a very strange situation, where if InfluxDB restarts, other containers may fail when restarting at the same time (under not easy to understand circumstances), and InfluxDB remains unreachable (and these containers crashes). I need to reboot these containers in an exact order, after rebooting InfluxDB.
While I understand what's going on, I need a way to reliable determine that InfluxDB is not reachable and these containers are not reachable, in order to identify this situation and manually check what's going on - and, maybe, in the future, automatically restart them if needed.
So, I was looking at HTTP Request action, but I need to capture the HTTP response code, instead of the response (becase if ping is OK, InfluxDB will reply with a 204), and, potentially, a way to programmatically detect that it's failing to get the response.
While I could write a custom HTTP controller for this or a custom HTTP virtual device, I was wondering if this is somewhat on you roadmap @toggledbits
Thanks!
Hi ,
I'm on
-Reactor (Multi-hub) latest-25067-62e21a2d
-Docker on Synology NAS
-ZWaveJSUI 9.31.0.6c80945
Problem with ZwaveJSUI:
When I try to change color to a bulb RGBWW, it doesn't change to the RGB color and the bulb remains warm or cold white.
I tryed with Zipato RGBW Bulb V2 RGBWE2, Hank Bulb HKZW-RGB01, Aentec 6 A-ZWA002, so seems that it happens with all RGBWW bulb with reactor/zwavejsui.
I'm using from reator the entity action: "rgb_color.set" and "rgb_color.set_rgb".
After I send the reactor command, It changes in zwavejsui the rgb settings but doesn't put the white channel to "0", so the prevalent channel remains warm/cold White and the bulb doesn't change into the rgb color.
This is the status of the bulb in zwavejsui after "rgb_color.set" (235,33,33,) and the bulb is still warmWhite.
x_zwave_values.Color_Switch_currentColor={"warmWhite":204,"coldWhite":0,"red":235,"green":33,"blue":33}
The "cold white" and "warm white" settings interfer with the rgb color settings.
Reactor can change bulb colors with rgb_color set — (value, ui8, 0x000000 to 0xffffff) or rgb_color set_rgb — (red, green, blue, all ui1, 0 to 255) but if warm or cold white
are not to "0", zwavejsui doesn't change them and I can't find a way to change into rgb or from rgb back to warm white.
So if I use from reactor: rgb_color set_rgb — (235,33,33) in zwavejsui I have
x_zwave_values.Color_Switch_targetColor={"red":235,"green":33,"blue":33}

In zwavejsui, the bulb changes rgb set but warm White remains to "204" and the bulb remais on warm White channel bacause is prevalent on rgb set.
x_zwave_values.Color_Switch_currentColor_0=204
x_zwave_values.Color_Switch_currentColor_1=0
x_zwave_values.Color_Switch_currentColor_2=235
x_zwave_values.Color_Switch_currentColor_3=33
x_zwave_values.Color_Switch_currentColor_4=33
Is it possible to targetColor also for "warmWhite" and "coldWhite" and have something similar to this?
x_zwave_values.Color_Switch_targetColor={"warmWhite":0,"coldWhite":0,"red":235,"green":33,"blue":33}
Thanks in advance.
MSR had been running fine, but I decided to follow the message to upgrade to 25067. Since the upgrade, I have received the message "Controller "<name>" (HubitatController hubitat2) could not be loaded at startup. Its ID is not unique." MSR throws the message on every restart. Has anyone else encountered this problem?
I am running MSR on a Raspberry Pi4 connecting to two Hubitat units over an OpenVPN tunnel. One C8 and a C8 Pro. Both are up-to-date. It appears that despite the error message that MSR may be operating properly.
I am getting a Runtime error on different browsers when I click exit when editing an existing or creating a new global reaction containing a group. If the global reaction does not have a group I don't get an error. I see a similar post on the forum about a Runtime Error when creating reactions but started a new thread as that appears to be solved.
The Runtime Error is different in the two browsers

I am trying to delete a global expression (gLightDelay) but for some strange reason, it comes back despite clicking the Delete this expression and Save Changes buttons.
I have not created a global expression for some times and just noticed this while doing some clean-up.
I have upgraded Reactor to 25067 from 25060 and the behaviour is still there. I have restarted Reactor (as well as restarting its container) and cleared the browser's cache several times without success.
Here's what the log shows.

Morning, experts. Hard on learning about the internet check script in MSR tools, I was wondering what suggestions anyone has about a local (i.e. non-internet dependent) notification method.
This was prompted by yesterday's fun and games with my ISP.
I've got the script Cronned and working properly but short of flashing a light on and off, I'm struggling to think of a way of alerting me (ideally to my phone)
I guess I could set up a Discord server at home, but that feels like overkill for a rare occasion. Any other suggestions?
TIA

Hi,
I'm trying to integrate the sonos-mqtt (https://sonos2mqtt.svrooij.io/) with the MSR and it's coming along nicely so far.
But cannot wrap my head around how to define custom capabilities in MQTT templates. I need this for the TTS announcements and similarly for the notification sounds where I would pass the sound file as parameter.
So this is what I have in the local_mqtt_devices.yaml
capabilities:
x_sonos_announcement:
attributes:
actions:
speak:
arguments:
text:
type: string
volume:
type: int
delay:
type: int
And this is the template:
templates:
sonos-announcement:
capabilities:
- x_sonos_announcement
actions:
x_sonos_announcement:
speak:
topic: "sonos/cmd/speak"
payload:
expr: >
{ "text": parameters.text, "volume": parameters.volume, "delayMs": parameters.delay, "onlyWhenPlaying": false, "engine": "neural" }
type: json
So the speak action should send something like this to topic sonos/cmd/speak
{
"text": "message goes here",
"volume": 50,
"delayMs": 100,
"onlyWhenPlaying": false,
"engine": "neural"
}
At startup the MSR seems to be quite unhappy with my configuration:
reactor | [latest-25016]2025-02-09T08:19:59.029Z <MQTTController:WARN> MQTTController#mqtt entity Entity#mqtt>sonos-announcement unable to configure capabilities [Array][ "x_sonos_announcement" ]

This is probably a pretty stupid question and the approach may not even work at all, but maybe someone or @toggledbits for sure, could point me to the right direction.
Basically the idea is to be able to send TTS messages from reactions using entity actions. I've previously used HTTP requests to Sonos HTTP API (https://hub.docker.com/r/chrisns/docker-node-sonos-http-api/) for the same functionality, but since moving to sonos-mqtt, I need a way to send the TTS notifications using MQTTController. Along with the actual message, volume and delay must also be parameterizable.

Hi, @toggledbits
I just noticed that following a reboot of my raspberry pi, some of the rules, that I was expecting to recover, are not catching up following a reboot. I have made a simple test rule (rule-m6rz6ol1) with only "after Date/time" as trigger and "turn on a lamp" as a set reaction. All my infrastructure is on the same board so Reactor, Hass, Zwavejs, ... are all rebooting.
Here is the sequence of the test case (All time converted to Zulu to match logs):
Rule "after Date/Time" set to 14:05:00z
Shutdown on Raspberry Pi at 14:04:00z
Power back up at 14:08:00z
Rule overview shows true as of 14:08:14z waiting for 00:00:00 in GUI
From the log I can see that MSR is picking up the rule and knows that the state of the rule has changed from false to true and tries to send the update to HASS but failed with websocket error.
Here is what I see from the log:
14:04:04z shutdown complete
14:08:08z Power up
14:08:13.111z websocket connection
14:08:15:323z Reaction to the light failed, Websocket not opened
After there is a series of websocket connection attempt until 14:08:51z where it seemed to be really ready.
Back in 2021 we had a discussion (https://smarthome.community/topic/700/solved-start-up?_=1738766986566) and you proposed to add a startup_delay:xxxx and startup_wait:xxxx parameter in the engine section of "reactor.yaml". When I try the startup_delay (this used to be a hard delay), the engine failed to start (I think). I then try the startup_wait:xxxx without any success. Since it wait for the connection status to be up to cancel the delay, it does not do anyting since Hass is reporting the socket up without really being up ( I think...).
Questions:
Did I figured it all wrong?
should the startup_delay:xxxxx have worked?
Any ideas?
Here is the log:
OK now I am stuck. I did add the log but when I submit the editor complained saying that I am limited to 32767 characters. The log from the shutdown to the time the websocket is stable is about 300000 character long. What are my options?
Urgent Help MSR stopped running
-
I just restarted MSR and it never came back up again.
I cannot connect to it now in the browser it says connection refused.
I can still SSH in to the Debian Linux box OK, so I rebooted that but still no MSR.
if I run this command:
systemctl --type=service
It says "activating" for Reactor all the others say "active".
I then tried updating MSR to the latest build that seemed to work as normal but MSR is still down and not accessible.
Not sure what happened, I only pressed the Restart button in the MSR gui.
-
I think you might be onto the right thing. I looked in to the log and it was complaining it can't connect to the InfluxDB running on another Raspberry Pi. That Pi has gone down at the moment and I can't connect to it for some reason.
I don't know when the Pi went down? Might have been last week for all I know or this evening, I am not sure. So may or may not be related.
So I edited the Reactor.yaml file and commented out all lines to do with the InfluxDB plugin and rebooted the Debian Linux box where MSR is running, but MSR is also still down and not accessible.
-
This is the reactor.service file I haven't changed anything in there.
[Unit] Description=Multi System Reactor After=network.target [Service] Type=simple User=stuart Environment=NODE_PATH=/home/stuart/reactor WorkingDirectory=/home/stuart/reactor ExecStart=/usr/bin/node app -p Restart=on-failure RestartSec=5s [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.targetIf I run these commands:
sudo systemctl stop reactor
and then
sudo systemctl start reactor
and then
systemctl --type=service
It still says that the reactor service is "activating"
reactor.service loaded activating auto-restart Multi System Reactor -
The logs dont say anything else? If not I dont know and you might have to wait for @toggledbits

I guess MSR is not currently logging as its down. The last line in the log is this at 16:16 pm which was 4 hours ago.
[latest-22053]2022-03-18T16:16:32.655Z InfluxFeed:ERR [InfluxFeed]InfluxFeed#influx write failed (data lost): [Error]Er
And there was lost of these lines:
[latest-22053]2022-03-18T16:16:29.947Z InfluxFeed:ERR [InfluxFeed]InfluxFeed#influx write failed (data lost): [Error]Error: connect ECONNREFUSED 192.168.0.36:8086
But I don't know when the Pi went down? and the InfluxDB so may or may not be related.

Troubleshooting section of the manual.
My guess is (a) some hub isn't connecting and you didn't wait long enough for retries to time out (most common, but not only reason), and then you damaged the config file trying to edit out InfluxDB, which won't get in the way, it's just chatty. Follow the steps in the docs. Also, If you installed node-red after MSR, there is a bug in their install script that can corrupt your nodejs install system-wide. Hopefully it's not that. Back on Monday. Good luck!

Again, follow the steps in the Troubleshooting section of the docs.

I am trying to download the log files from the /var/log folder now.
Is this bad ?

Was in the wrong directory, this looks better.

You should not be running npm as root.
