THIS IS GREAT!! You've made it very clear, thank you so much. I'm going to try it right now. Thank you for the detailed instructions. Reactor is a great plug-in!

Hey @toggledbits I'm back to trying to optimize a couple of things based on dynamic group.
First of all, I think I found a typo in the doc:
primary_attribute: "binary_sensor.state"
primary_attribute_value: |
d = false;
each id in members: d = getEntity(id)?.attributes?.power_switch?.state or d,
d
I think the correct code snippet is d = false,
All that said, my use case for dynamic groups is to group 3 different climate devices, so I could easily command them at the same time. Commands are good, but sometimes I want to check if any of the devices are on, and that's easily done with a similar snippet as the one you have in the docs. But this is limited to the primary attribute, while I want to have any of the attributes in the group to be driven by a similar logic (while all are null in the group). ie, access hvac_control.mode and see if any of the unit is set to cool, or heat. Is that possible, without re-defining an expression in each of my rules? Thanks!
Edit: Solved in latest-26221.
Bare-metal latest-26193
I have this group:
"OKforLarm":
name: OK för Larm
select:
- include_controller: vera
- include_capability: door_sensor
filter_expression: entity.attributes.door_sensor.state
It contains the entities I expect but behaves a bit odd. When I open vera>device_10097 the entity attribute door_sensor.state changes to true but it won't show up as member in the group, when I also open vera>device_10095 they both shows as members and when I close vera>device_10095 it disappear from the group but when I close vera>device_10097 it lingers in the group until I restart Reactor.
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.
Love openLuup - it just keeps working perfectly.
I started looking at trying to add a gen4 Shelly device to the Shelly plugin via L_ShellyBridge.lua. The plugin is a little uncooked (no rudeness intended), so a bit of a rabbit hole for me.
All of a sudden no console pages available in either Firefox or Chrome. AltUI works perfectly and all the log files indicate no errors. openLuup still running everything works as it should - just no console pages.
I possibly screwed something up but any recently changes files show no problems. The original/ backup of L_ShellyBridge.lua was reinstated but still no console.
Bit stumped on this one. Not sure how to debug. Any ideas?
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!
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

- /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro
tmpfs: /tmp
It appears that Ezlo is going to new levels of paid subscription for cloud services supporting Vera hubs. I have to congratulate them. It will soon be 8 years since Ezlo acquired Vera, and despite their purported financial and "intellectual" capital, they have to date not produced a viable full replacement for Vera. Now they are going to charge extra for services for a platform that they stopped updating years ago.
If you know anyone who hasn't yet fully moved on from Captain Ahab's White Whale Chase, please remind them that my Decouple project is still up on Github to decouple a Vera Plus/Secure/Edge from Vera/Ezlo's cloud services. Veras have been said to misbehave when they can't reach the mother ship.
I have also written my first new Vera plugin in... six years? more?... the AlertPushover project will send Vera hub alerts to Pushover, so you can still get messages generated by your Vera hub without paying for Ezlo's cloud service. It's crude but functional (i.e. better than nothing/worth every penny paid).
These two projects won't replace the functionality of their cloud service and app for those who need those things. But any that don't, this may help bridge the gap. Hopefully these stragglers who have waited so long and been disappointed so often will get the idea that it's time to move on.

I need help with Reactor for VERA. -
Anyone with Reactor experience? Will this work?I am no longer using any VERA scenes. I am only using a REACTOR trigger and activities.
Will my activities do what I need them to do? See below:
Here's what I am trying to accomplish:
AT SUNRISE
- Turn ON a light called LETTUCE LAMP and keep it ON.
2a) Turn on a device called LETTUCE PUMP for 15 min each hour.
2b) Repeat the pump cycle all day long.
AT SUNSET
- Turn OFF a light called LETTUCE LAMP and keep it OFF.
2a) Turn on a device called LETTUCE PUMP for 15 min then wait 2 hours..
2b) Repeat the pump cycle all night long.
- Turn ON a light called LETTUCE LAMP and keep it ON.

I need help with Reactor for VERA.I redid the Vera scenes just a few minutes ago. I can see I need to update my Reactor activites.

I need help with Reactor for VERA.Sure, here they are. Because I can't wrap my head around Reactor's operation, Im just using it to trigger two scenes in Vera. Here are the screenshots.

I need help with Reactor for VERA.Thanks Pablo. I'm not having problems with the interval logic, its STOPPING the other scene from running when its not supposed to be running. They fight with each other.

I need help with Reactor for VERA.I've been trying to figure out Reactor but I'm not very good at programming.
I have two scenes in VERA.
One scene should only run during the DAY and then stop running.
One scene should only run during the NIGHT and then stop running.My scenes start off at the right times, but they do not turn off. I created a Sunrise/Sunset Reactor trigger and added it as a condition to each of my scenes.
However, the Reactor trigger when tripping or untripping does not prevent my Vera scenes from running. It will start them correctly the first day, but after that, both scene stay running and fight with each other. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks for any help!
If you are interested, here are the actions I wish to perform with each scene.
FARM STAND - DAY (runs at Sunrise)
- Turn ON a device called LETTUCE LAMP
2a) Every 60 min, turn ON a device called LETTUCE PUMP
2b) Wait 15 min then turn OFF a device called LETTUCE PUMP
FARM STAND - NIGHT (runs at Sunset)
- Turn OFF a device called LETTUCE LAMP
2a) Every 135 min, turn ON a device called LETTUCE PUMP
2b) Wait 15 min then turn OFF a device called LETTUCE PUMP
This sounds simple, but I cannot figure out how to disable these scenes when the theyre not supposed to run.
