Reactor (Multi-System/Multi-Hub) Announcements
toggledbitsT
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.

Noticing since 170 that the lock screen doesn't switch to the logon prompt but, rather, stays on the active UI until such time as you go to click something within it. Then it jumps to the login screen. Brave browser Brave 1.92.139 (Official Build) (arm64) Chromium: 150.0.7871.114

[MSR] Copy&past of actions and/or drag&drop between set/reset
therealdbT
Hey @toggledbits One thing that bothers me while doing work on new systems/new features, is that I cannot copy&paste actions, and I cannot drag&drop between set and resets. #1 is for when I want to copy an action between different rules opened in two separate browser windows, while #2 is when I just need to flip a bunch of actions in the reset, or move some logic back and forth. Both will be appreciated, but I understand the technical challenges. Thanks!

Upgrade advice - upgrade from aarch64 to ARM64 image
T
I'm currently on version 26011. I understand that the aarch64 image is no longer supported. So, I therefore need to update to the ARM64 image. Can anyone possibly suggest how I update my docker compose.yaml file (see below). Ideally I'd like to keep my existing reactions etc. rather than start from scratch. # Multi-System Reactor template docker-compose.yml (version 22160) # # Change the lines indicated by "DO"... # services: reactor: container_name: reactor environment: # DO change the TZ: line to set your local time zone. # See valid TZ list: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_database_time_zones TZ: GB # # DO NOT change this path. Your directory location is in "source" below. REACTOR_DATA_PREFIX: /var/reactor # DO change the image below to the one you are using (e.g. armv7l or aarch64 for RPi 4) image: toggledbits/reactor:latest-aarch64 restart: "always" expose: - 8111 ports: - 8111:8111 volumes: # DO change the /home/username/reactor below to the directory you created for # your local data; DO NOT change the /var/reactor part - /home/pi/docker/reactor:/var/reactor - /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro tmpfs: /tmp

Deprecation Announcement: 32-bit ARM *docker* images
toggledbitsT
If you are using the armv7l docker image, the OpenJS Foundation that publishes node is no longer producing 32-bit builds as of v24. That means the last supported LTS version of node for armv7l is v22, which will go End-of-Life in May 2027. Therefore, the Reactor armv7l image is now deprecated and will only be produced until node v22 goes EOL, and I will not publish armv7l images beyond that date. If you are running an RPi 3 or earlier with Reactor, you are on this image, and will need to upgrade hardware to a 64-bit model and use the arm64 image. If you need help getting it done, ask in this category.

http request action & digest auth
tunnusT
I’m using the HTTP Request action in MSR and need to authenticate against an endpoint that uses HTTP Digest authentication. Now that endpoint was changed to use SHA-256 in digest auth, so I would like to know if MSR supports it, or is it limited to MD5-based digest auth?

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

    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!

      I don't know what would of broke but that appears to be an old build. Have you thought about upgrading to the newest version? Is there anything in the Logs to give you a clue?

              Hi Guys,
              I Have exact the same problem.

              My story is that I got a new ISP modem, I corrected everything, set all the IP addresses to the same numbers as before. Restarted all the Home Automation hardware and still no clue.
              System: MSR in docker container on Synology NAS, Vera PLus Zwave with all devices and a Home Assistant for some extra information.

              The reactions aren't running correctly. Most of my MSR automations are to use motion sensors to turn lights on/off, and time based automations nothing worked where MSR does his magic.

              I've also 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

              But I cannot successfully run the "Set Reaction" and "Reset Reaction" within MSR (by hitting the 'play' button)
              But the play buttons on the action in the "Set Reaction" and in "Reset Reaction" they work well.

              Lastly I updated the Docker Container as you all suggested.

              But on my system nothing changes.
              Any ideas?

                I had the same problem yesterday following a power outage.
                I saw that MSR reacted but there was no effective reaction.
                I didn't see anything in the logs
                I reinstalled MSR and the problem went away.

                  I Found something in the docker logs, which II don't understand how to fix:
                  stream | /var/reactor/logs/reactor.log not open boolean | false

                  opened file with correct file editor and saved back with docker stopped container, now message is gone, but did not solve issue.

                      @toggledbits Thanks for your remark, I get that it won't get much attention then 😉
                      Solved the problem though. It was in the upgrade to 22203 from 22080, where the docker file got renamed. Came here to place this in this thread. Thanks again.
