Confirming that 25016 has indeed resolved the error.
Thank you !!
Following on from my last thread, some progress has been made over the weekend.
With 18G of spanky RAM in my Synology DS224+. I've jumped into the murky world of virtualisation and already eliminated the need for two Raspberry Pi's from my system.
Home Assistant: In theory they provide an OVA file which is supported by the Synology. I couldn't get it to work, however, so grabbed a copy of the .img file they supply, renamed it .iso and imported it as a VM. Restored from my full back up and that all seems fantastic.
Minidnla Music server: Trivial. Grabbed a Debian .iso for Bookworm and copied that onto the NAS. Created a new machine which mirrored the specs of the Raspberry Pi, booted from the ISO then did an expert install. Once that was all stable with a basic core of stuff and networking, I've made a copy of that as a good base system. Then fired up minidnla on it, mounted my media and that's also woking. Not bad for a short weekend's work.
Still not sure about the main NUC though. I'm thinking of buying a new USB stick so I can mess around getting it working on the Synology before I do anything drastic.
Once that hurdle is sorted I'm torn between:
Using a brand new install of Bookworm, re-installing Z-way server, OpenLuup, AltUI, MSR and HA bridge, then restoring across or Making an ISO of the current system, importing that and upgrading in place (which will be pretty risk free since I can snapshot everything before I make any changes.)Decisions, decisions.

Afternoon, all.
In my continued attempts to virtualise my system, I'm in the last (I hope throes)
I don't fancy relying on Synology not to break more USB activities, so decided to set up ser2net on a Raspberry pi and plug in a spare Z-wave.me stick
So on the Raspberry pi: ser2net. yaml
catman@Zwave:/etc $ cat ser2net.yaml %YAML 1.1 --- # This is a ser2net configuration file, tailored to be rather # simple. # # Find detailed documentation in ser2net.yaml(5) # A fully featured configuration file is in # /usr/share/doc/ser2net/examples/ser2net.yaml.gz # # If you find your configuration more useful than this very simple # one, please submit it as a bugreport define: &banner \r\nser2net port \p device \d [\B] (Debian GNU/Linux)\r\n\r\n connection: &zwave0 # Bind to TCP port accepter: tcp,4000 enable: on options: kickolduser: true # Ensure mDNS is disabled mdns: false connector: serialdev, /dev/ttyACM0,115200N81,nobreak,localAnd if I telnet to it from anywhere:
catman@ChrisMBP15-2018 ~ % telnet 192.168.70.128 4000 Trying 192.168.70.128... Connected to 192.168.70.128. Escape character is '^]'.Which makes me think that ser2net is doing its thing.
Now in my virtualised Z-wave server I have this:
Screenshot 2025-04-10 at 17.36.52.png
(I've tried with a colon and a space between the ip and the port)
The result:
An unexpected error occurred during loading data. Try to reload the page. Please check 1.) if the controller is plugged in correctly, 2.) that in the app 'Z-Wave Network Access' the right port is entered (UZB: '/dev/ttyACM0', RaZberry shield: '/dev/ttyAMA0', UZB-Windows: '\\.\COM3', Z-Stick: '/dev/ttyUSB0', embedded boxes: '/dev/ttyS0' or '/dev/ttyS1') 3.) the app is aktiv. If not you could activate it under Menu > Apps > Active or add a new one under Menu > Apps > Local. The Setting 'Expert View' needs to be active under Menu > My Settings.Any pointers as to what I'm doing wrong?
TIA!

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 installed MSR on a RP5 bare metal and then copied the config and store files. Everything seems to be on the RP5 but I am missing all global expression and I don't see the controller time.

Good day all,
I have an notification set up for my washing machine to let me know when it's complete. I have a templete sensor set up in HAAS to let me know if it's Washing, in Standby, or off, based upon the power consumption (Shelly 1PM on outlets)
The MSR code is relatively simple. I have a built in false positive attribute for if MSR gets rebooted, because I would suddenly get tons of notifications when I upgraded MSR.
6774565a-06cc-443f-99c1-e71301b33d83-image.png
What I'm trying to introduce, is a way to verify that I just didn't bump the knob on the washing machine when transferring loads from the washer to the dryer, which turns on the display and brings the power above the Standby threshold.
The power goes up to 3.7W for about 4 minutes if the selector knob is bumped/turned.
What would the best way to do this be? I have most of my MSR code set up for a couple of years now, and my coding logic is struggling a bit.
I think I need a power threshold to be substained for a minimum time period (say 2 or 3 minutes, above 10W), before the other triggers can act. What would the best way to do that be?

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} 14/03/2025, 16:43:57 - value updated Arg 0: └─commandClassName: Color Switch └─commandClass: 51 └─property: targetColor └─endpoint: 0 └─newValue └──red: 235 └──green: 33 └──blue: 33 └─prevValue └──red: 235 └──green: 33 └──blue: 33 └─propertyName: targetColor 14/03/2025, 16:43:57 - value updated Arg 0: └─commandClassName: Color Switch └─commandClass: 51 └─property: currentColor └─endpoint: 0 └─newValue └──warmWhite: 204 └──coldWhite: 0 └──red: 235 └──green: 33 └──blue: 33 └─prevValue └──warmWhite: 204 └──coldWhite: 0 └──red: 235 └──green: 33 └──blue: 33 └─propertyName: currentColorIn 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=33Is 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.
Good day all,
I have a reaction set up, that I use for both troubleshooting and changing home modes when one of my family members either arrive or are leaving. I use the companion app for HAAS on our iPhones, and HAAS reports if the person associated with the iPhone enters or leaves the geofenced area around my home. I'm sure most MSR and HAAS users are familiar with this.
I use this rule set mainly as a condition for other rules, however, as part of troubleshooting, a notification is sent through HAAS to the companion app when the rule becomes true. The problem is that I'm getting notifications now for both arriving and departing simultaneously.

36903cdd-a87f-473b-82ef-af9ef96d3c44-image.png It used to work fine as intended. I'm not sure exactly when it changed, but now I'm getting two notifications when either of these conditions change.
Any idea what could be happening?

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.
Similarly as for local expressions, global expressions evaluate and update fine when getEntity(...) structure is used. However, at least when certain functions are in use, expressions do not update.
Consider the following test case:
Screenshot 2025-03-13 at 16.29.42.png
Even though auto-evaluation is active, value does not change (it changes only if that expression is manually run). MSR restarts do not help.
Screenshot 2025-03-13 at 16.31.43.png
Note: Tested using build 25067 on Docker. I have also a PR open (but couldn't now get details or PR number as my Mantis account was somehow expired?).
Trying to understand what cause a local expresssion to be evaluated. I have read the manual but I am still not clear about it. Using the test rule below, I can see in the log that the rule is being automatically evaluated every time the temperature entity is changing. That is great...
What I am trying to understand is why the expression is not evaluated based on time as well since the "case" statement has time dependencies.
Any help would be appreciated

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.

Hello all, after seeing Catman's posts about their disaster recovery and move to Docker I took that as a sign to migrate everything (aside from HA) to Docker. After a small learning curve I had Docker+Portainer up and running in a few days.
Instead of using named Volumes I opted to use Bind Mounts so I can easily edit conf files and any other file needed. I do understand the nuances that come with bind mounts, such as migration to a different host may require changing file structures, the possibility of someone editing the bind mount files and permissions but to me those aren't too big of a deal.
My question is what is the best way to keep a back up of these bind mounts? I currently have them stored in the /etc directory in another directory named on a per container basis. I was thinking to move it all to a /home/user/docker/ directory so that I can use a simple cp command to my mounted SMB share to backup all the container data files. Anyone else do it differently?
Side note: I finally got to flex the benefits of Docker with updating Reactor.. it was dead simple. I had no idea what I was missing out on lol!
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

That was likely it now that you mention it. I did have a problem awhile back where I fat fingered a 2:00AM cron job that was supposed to trim backup files to only keep the last x days of *.tar.gz files which filled the partition. I bet the file date reflects when that happened
Thanks again for the help and clarifying. Take care,

Thanks for the input.
I'm not sure if deleting this zero length file was the right thing to do or not but it fixed the problem, the engine starts now and SMTP works.
From the log:
[latest-23218]2023-08-21T20:55:09.695Z <IndividualFileStrategy:ERR> [IndividualFileStrategy][IndividualFileStrategy#/var/reactor/storage/states] failed to read cs-rule-lbhys108 in /var/reactor/storage/states/cs-rule-lbhys108.json:

-rwx------ 1 501 staff 0 Jul 20 02:00 cs-rule-lbhys108.json
I moved the file in question to a tmp directory, restarted reactor, the engine started and SMTP works now.
Question:
Was moving / effectively deleting this file from reactors view a bad thing to do that will cause future problems and is there anything else that need to do other than getting rid of that zero length file?
Thanks,

I think this would be an interesting sensor to have. I’m guessing you are sensing pressure / weight and returning a numeric value based on that vs a simple open / close. The reason being you is that you would need a base (empty bed) value in order to make decisions whether someone / thing is in bed or not or how many are in bed for that matter. The second reason is that beds have different numbers of legs depending on the type of bed and therefore weight distribution comes into the picture, so sensing pressure or weight vs open / close seems like it would give you more options and even interest from other markets.
Meaning, if this is a pressure / weight type sensor it could have other applications as well expanding your market. For example, I have a salt tank that holds a few hundred pounds of salt for my water treatment system. I could record the initial numeric values at different levels and use that information to know when it is low and needs more salt. I would be interested in doing that.
Just my $.02
Take care and good luck.

Howdy,
Has anyone successfully installed 22337 via Docker Hub?
I'm currently running latest-22310 on Qnap NAS 5.0.0.1986
My usual method which is normally successful, is that in the Qnap CLI I run a docker pull (stdout below of what I got for 22337):

But when I go into the Qnap's container station (part of my usual process) and search for reactor and do the install for 'latest-amd64' it installs latest-22310 and not latest-22337.
Sanity checking before I go down the path of chasing down Qnap and/or Container Station problems.

I'm not exactly sure here trying to follow the logic, but since you are using constraints, could that be the reason? Meaning, there is a section in the manual that talks about constraints eg: "Unlike triggers, changes in the conditions of constraints do not cause the rule to set or unset.

Happy Birthday !! Also, thanks for doing this. Take care, -b
Thank you all for your responses, you are an awesome bunch in this group and I have what I was looking for.
Essentially toggling a rule as active or inactive can only be done manually, so I wasn't going crazy because this was something I could do in the Vera Reactor to another Reactor
I have been using toggles in HAAS to toggle a state which I include as a 'constraint' within multiple MSR rules which works.
What I was looking for is more of a 'kill switch’ to completely disable a rule or set of rules for reasons that come up from time to time where I manually disable them so there is no chance of them running. Not a show stopper by any means.
Thanks again,

Howdy,
My goal is to have a rule that when triggered will disable other certain pre-defined rule sets, but I can't seem to find a way to do it in MSR. Is it possible?
In the MSR UI, rule sets are toggled manually to be enabled (green) and disabled (red). I would like to do this from within a rule.

Howdy, Honestly I didn’t really think this was an MSR Set Reaction pandemic and was more than likely a locally induced error of some sort.
This is fixed now based on something you said in your last reply suspecting an update problem which pulled me out of a loop and put me on the right path.
Summary: Upgrading to latest-22274 fixed the problem but QNAP’s Container Station using the Docker Hub Tab would only download and install latest-22179. Not sure if this is a QNAP bug or feature.
Detail: For the benefit of any QNAP NAS users out there I’ll explain.
Using QNAP NAS’s Container Station, searching for “reactor” in the “Docker Hub” tab I would select "latest-amd64”, but it would only install latest-22179 and not the actual latest-22274. Picking up the NAS and shaking it a few times, turning it off and on again, or putting more quarters in it didn't help.
In the past I didn’t find a need to do the following since I believe Container Station should be doing this all by self, and if not, user error on my part.
So to fix this I ssh’d to the QNAP NAS CLI and ran.
docker pull toggledbits/reactor:latest-amd64
Which returned the following, I was feeling optimistic seeing the "pull completes' "
[basai@basai ~]$ docker pull toggledbits/reactor:latest-amd64

Status: Downloaded newer image for toggledbits/reactor:latest-amd64

After this completed, now when I went to create a new docker by going into container station, searching for “reactor” in the “Docker Hub Tab” and selected “latest-amd64” it correctly installed latest-22274 and also pre-populated the NODE_PATH variable correctly which wasn’t happening before.
Problem solved and MSR is working as expected again.
Thanks you for your help, MSR Rocks!

Apologies for the confusion.
I was trying to indicate, although poorly, that I did install 'latest' at first which didn't correct the problem and then opted to go with 'stable' thinking that was the better choice.
As far as the MSR Set Reaction using haas vs vera per my report, I was testing both and neither worked when the rule is triggered, however the light does turn off when I manually select the play button next to the Set Reaction Rule for either the set haas or vera case. Unfortunately I neglected to reflect that correctly in my report and hence the mismatch / confusion

Running MSR and HAAS on Docker (QNAP Container Station)
Reactor (Multi-hub) stable-22203-81a2f3cc

Hello all,
I decided to upgrade MSR to latest-amd64. It wasn’t until afterwards that I noticed all rulesets broken. So unfortunately I’m not sure if this was already broken before or I broke it after upgrading. Yes poor judgement on my part for being complacent.
Never the less, this is broken globally across all rulesets, even though I can see the triggers change to “True” (Turn green).
For this example, I have a boolean helper toggle in HAAS called “TV MODE HAAS SW”.
When toggled ‘on’, MSR should turn my Vera office light OFF and it doesn’t, but if I manually select the play button to the right of the line in the Set Reaction, it executes properly and turns off the Vera office light.
The MSR Rule does not have any Constraints set.
I can see in MSR it recognizes the state changes yet doesn’t execute the “Set Reaction”.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Log files from reactor.log and screen shots to follow:

It may be that you need to pull "latest-[flavor]" and not just "latest" eg: latest-amd64 etc. dependent on the image specific to your installation type.

@toggledbits Thank you for the reply and solution.
What confused me was that as an expression created within a Rule it worked fine, but now that I read your reply I see why, this was a "Doh!" on my part, I hadn't thought of it like that.
Thanks again!,

I’ve looked and can’t find the answer which concerns me that the answer is obvious and thats why I can't find the answer to this.
I’m new to MSR and this is my first post, so please bare with me
What I’m trying to do is have a global expression that contains the current time so I can use it in Global reactions as well as Rulesets as part of my syslog messages.
Example of what I’m experiencing:
In Expressions, create a global expression: gMyTOD = strftime("%T %D”)
In Rulesets, in a rule, create a local expression: MyTOD = strftime("%T %D”)
In that same rule create a Notify type of Syslog.
Set syslog message to: gMyTOD time is ${{gMyTOD}} and MyTOD time is ${{MyTOD}}
Trigger the rule.
The result is that the local expression (MyTOD) contains the correct time but the global expression (gMyTOD) does not update and reflects the wrong time in the final syslog message.
Is there a different approach I should be using?
Thank you in advance for any insight.
