    • MSR No longer Setting Reactions

      T

      Hello Everyone -

      I have a peculiar situation that I'm hoping to get some help with.

      Running Vera which is still handling my Zwave, MySensors, Zigbee, and still a balance of my Reactors.

      However, I've also been running MSR for several months in preparation for an eventual move off of Vera.

      Vera had one of its meltdowns this morning related to my Opensprinkler plug in.

      After getting that straightened out, I added the OpenSprinkler plugin to HAAS and that's when I started having issues.

      My existing MSR reactors (even simple ones) don't seem to fire their reactions. I can see the conditions go "true". If I manually fire the Reaction, it works fine.

      I do see this a lot in the logs:

      [1.0.2-21350]2022-05-16T19:02:44.518Z <Rule:INFO> Rule#rule-460 evaluation in progress; waiting for completion

      (Various rules - 460 is just an example)

      Is there anything I can do to further troubleshoot?

    • MSR Telegram Messages Stopped Working

      T

      My MSR has been working flawlessly until a couple of days ago when it stopped sending Telegram Messages (or should I say they stopped getting through!). I have updated to MSR version 22004. The reactor.log is updating and is showing no errors:

      I am running MSR on my QNAP network attached storage. Any assistance would be appreciated.

      Just another question...... I would like to post in the HOME HARDWARE VERA section of Smarthome, but I do not have the option to set up a new post. Do I need to request access for this?

    • Lovelace initial setup

      PerH

      I've just started to look at HASS UI, and have seen enough to see that it has an infinite number of ways to show enitites and devices in all forms and shapes.. But for starters i'd like to have something familiar, so how do i go about getting a sidebar for rooms like in openluup?

      I know i can put them in the actual left sidebar, but i'd prefer to keep that for configuration pages..

      on each room page i'd like to sort the lights, the heaters, the sensors together, and i saw somewhere that HASS will do that for you if you play your cards (pun) right.. can't find it again now..

      Any pointers to a beginner?

    • SSL Certificate for Multi System Reactor via LetsEncrypt

      Details of runtime environment:

      Reactor (Multi-hub) stable-22055-9b40e12 Running as a service on Windows Server 2022 Std 21H2 Connecting to HASS (HASSOS) Is a migration WIP from OpenLuup/Reactor

      A complete description of your objective:

      Using LetsEncrypt, application "certifyTheWeb", retrieve and apply SSL certificate to Multi System Reactor

      A description of your approach/solution/implementation so far:

      Reviewed Config files, can't seen mention of certificate files in there

      Actual Question:

      How do I apply a certificate to whatever web server Reactor uses? I'm familiar with managing certificates on IIS and Apache but Reactor doesn't use either of these and I have not been able to locat ethe config file that Reactor uses for this. Which config file needs editing to apply a certificate? Does it use the computer certificate store or it's own store (e.g. pem files)

      The reason I want to achieve this, other than the general goodness of having everything I can in TLS is that I have Reactor as an IFRAME in my HASS console and as HASS is HTTPS and Reactor is HTTP then the iframe refuses to open.

      Search for "certificate" or "ssl" did not reveal anything relevant in this forum.

    • MSR ZEN32 weird behavior

      R

      @toggledbits
      Hi Patrick,
      Running HASS 2022.5.3
      MSR zwavejs-22126-834c3e9

      Seeing weird behavior in MSR with regards to my Zen32's. Not sure how to capture info that might be relevent but will describe what I am seeing.
      In the example below I pressed scene 001 4 times. It flashed and changed the primary value to "4". The remaining buttons were previously showing the PV as "double" I pushed each button one time and they flashed and displayed the PV as 4.
      zen32.JPG

      In the zwavejs2mqtt debug screen that sequence looks like this.

      2022-05-10 09:38:44.078 INFO ZWAVE: Node 45: value notification: 91-0-scene-001 5 2022-05-10T16:38:44.081Z CNTRLR « [Node 045] received CentralScene notification { "nodeId": 45, "ccId": "Central Scene", "ccCommand": "0x03", "payload": "0x898501" } 2022-05-10 09:38:45.982 INFO ZWAVE: Node 45: value notification: 91-0-scene-002 0 2022-05-10T16:38:45.984Z CNTRLR « [Node 045] received CentralScene notification { "nodeId": 45, "ccId": "Central Scene", "ccCommand": "0x03", "payload": "0x8a8002" } 2022-05-10 09:38:47.807 INFO ZWAVE: Node 45: value notification: 91-0-scene-003 0 2022-05-10T16:38:47.810Z CNTRLR « [Node 045] received CentralScene notification { "nodeId": 45, "ccId": "Central Scene", "ccCommand": "0x03", "payload": "0x8b8003" } 2022-05-10 09:38:48.858 INFO ZWAVE: Node 45: value notification: 91-0-scene-004 0 2022-05-10T16:38:48.861Z CNTRLR « [Node 045] received CentralScene notification { "nodeId": 45, "ccId": "Central Scene", "ccCommand": "0x03", "payload": "0x8c8004" }

      Let me know what other info you would like me to supply.
      I have played around with a bunch of other key stroke combo's and it looks like buttons 2-5 display what ever button 1 is set to.
      Have tested this on 4 different ZEN32's and it is same on all.

    • HASS 2022.5 issue with ZwaveJS in MSR

      R

      Running zwavejs-22118-baab576 in MSR, HASSOS 2022.5.1

      Due to an unreported issue in HASS, when I upgraded the 2022.5 yesterday, it dropped ZwaveJS2MQTT from my HASSOS build. Finally got it reinstalled and it appears to be working the way it was previously.
      MSR is now showing zwavejs down and in entities, nothing is updating.

      Seeing this in the logs:
      ZWaveJSController#zwavejs ws_open caught [Error]Error: connect ECONNREFUSED 192.168.0.16:3000

      Are there additional steps needed that are not mentioned in the manual?
      At a loss to figure out what is causing issue.

    • Syncing of updates...

      CatmanV2

      ....but not what you think, probably.

      I doubt there's an answer here to this, and it's about Iphone locator (sorry!)

      Hopefully the question is, at least, slightly interesting.

      Polling on the phone is currently set to 5 minutes and IPhone locator appears to update every 5 minutes as I also get an update in the OpenLuup log every 5 minutes.

      The 'problem' is that the Iphone locator (and therefore any conditions based upon a change in value) are happening 4 minutes and some seconds after the phone polls and updates its position. So effectively the phone is moving for nearly 10 minutes before any notification takes place. Which is a bit slow for my desired application.

      As an example:

      2022-05-05 17:27:08.244 luup.variable_set:: 55.urn:upnp-org:serviceId:IPhoneLocator1.MsgText2 was: 28.35 Km @ 0.00 Km/h on 2022-05-05 17:17 now: 28.35 Km @ 0.00 Km/h on 2022-05-05 17:22 #hooks:0 2022-05-05 17:32:12.340 luup.variable_set:: 55.urn:upnp-org:serviceId:IPhoneLocator1.MsgText2 was: 28.35 Km @ 0.00 Km/h on 2022-05-05 17:22 now: 27.77 Km @ 6.92 Km/h on 2022-05-05 17:27 #hooks:0

      Where you can see that the phone must have updated its location between 17:27:08.244 and 17:28:00.000

      Anyone got an bright ideas how I can reduce the discrepency?

      Cheers!

    • Global Expression – Reference Error

      wmarcolin

      Hi!

      After several tests, restarting the computer where the MSR is, and the MSR itself by Tools > Restart, I have a persistent error in the logs.

      32d45bc3-51f8-4718-a113-3381e9d7edf2-image.png

      Looking at the global expression (screen below), I see that it is highlighted as an error, however, if I look at two other expressions above that have the same structure, they do not present an error, so I do not think the problem is with the expression's code.

      ca8a7867-4ac7-4f9a-9913-15a80da18f05-image.png

      This expression uses a group, which validates 4 devices of type door sensor, whether the status is true or false, door open or closed.

      "dgc_entrance_open": name: DGC Entrance Open select: - include_entity: - "hubitat>37" - "hubitat>38" - "hubitat>99" - "hubitat>130" filter_expression: > entity.attributes?.door_sensor?.state == true

      I also compared it with other groups, the structure is identical.

      Looking at the 4 devices in this group, I see that all are active in the MSR, have similar variables, are used in other groups and rules that do not present a problem.

      52b099f4-b9c4-46cb-ad3d-c873b09b7e13-image.png

      Looking at the log, I understand that it refers to some object that would be null, at which point I am lost on what to actually look at.

    • Cheapest platform on which to run MSR

      T

      Please can anyone give me advice on a cheap way to run MSR (both initial cost and ongoing electricity cost). I currently run it on my QNAP network drive (which works very well incidentally). However, this draws a constant 35Watts (£90/yr @ 30p/kWh) and given the recent rise in fuel costs I am evaluating the best way forwards. Note, I only really need to turn my QNAP on for an hour a week to back-up my computer data. I understand that MSR can run on a Raspberry PI, but I am not competent with Linux! Thanks.

    • Build 22118 - entity updates

      G

      I just noticed that the new hotness picked up the entities from when I added an integration temporarily to my Home Assistant and popped a lovely info notice into the Alerts pane.

      I know the info is new - but when did MSR suddenly become more real-time with devices being added to hubs? This is great!

    • [Solved] Is there a cap or max number of devices a Global Reaction should not exceed?

      G

      Noticed in the last few nights that my Global Reaction to turn on a mere six lights in the evenings the same two devices no longer turn on. One is a dimming smart bulb, the other is a wall outlet.

      This has been running flawlessly for months - just in the last few nights I've noticed these two devices being left behind and yes, it's always these two devices only.

      "What changed?"

      No Hubitat firmware updates No new devices added to Hubitat list itemTwo MSR updates (the last two, I keep up with the latest) list itemHome Assistant releases (should have zero bearing, HA is nothing more than pretty dashboards) list itemAdded MQTT to MSR

      I did do a z-wave "repair" last night and am waiting to see if this helps.

      Is there any maximum or cap on number of devices that should be included in a Global Reaction?

      *Marked as solved as the question asked was answered. The issue persists but the question was answered.

    • [Solved] Which version of npm should we be running for reactor-latest-22118-0f0772c.tar.gz

      G

      I've borked my install of reactor-latest-22118-0f0772c.tar.gz for some reason and am retracing steps. Running npm i --no-save --omit dev prompted to update npm and I did (current version now 8.6.0). Currently, attempts to load via browser/s (Brave and Safari) result in "This site can’t be reached192.168.1.xxx refused to connect." I am still able to SSH into the RPi.

      I haven't panicked yet but did just pull my config and storage directories - I believe I read where that's enough for a back-up if a clean install ends up being needed.

      So the question of the day: which version of nmp should we be running on for the latest Reactor?

    • Is a global timestamp expression possible ?

      B

      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.

    • Restart router when it's gone offline?

      F

      Hi!
      Once a month or so, my internet access is lost, and I have to cut the power to the router, to restart it. When I'm away this become a problem, so I thought that if I got a zigbee switch (in Home Assistant), problem is solved. But how do I (MSR) know if it's offline?

      What's the easiest and most effective way to make this work? Do I ping a few websites every ten minutes or so, or is there a better approch? If I'm going to ping, what URL is recommended?

      For information, I have a set up with Asus routers, Home Assistent with zigbee-, z-wave and wifi devices (a total of appr. 150) and every of my 60-70 automation is done by MSR.
      I run MSR ver. 22080-ae7212f (docker on my Home Assistant blue). HA ver 2022.4.6.
      Thanks in advance.

      FYI.

      Recently a new ALTUI version got pushed out, release 2553. After the update Reactor is no longer showing any of the Control panels in a sensor. looking at the ALTUI changes they seem minimal so in J_ReactorSensor_UI7.js I upped the _MAX_ALTUI_VERSION to 2553 and all seems to be working again.

      I'm mostly using Fibaro's switch/roller shutter and on the Vera side I'm getting sl_CentralScene/sl_CentralSceneAttr, but it seems too fast to be intercepted by MSR.

    • Best strategy to get the difference between pulses in MSR

      therealdb

      So, I have a rule set that it's triggered when a local variable changes. Since it's tied to my solar production, it could change very frequently, so I've just added a reset delay to calm it down, but it's not working as intended.

      What I really need is a way to, let's say, define a percentage and define a variable to understand if the new value has changed +/- 10% before going true.

      I've tried a couple of ways, but I'm posting here anyway, in case anyone has found a better way to tackle this. Thanks!

    • Notifications from Alerts

      Crille

      @toggledbits Is there a way to get Current Alerts as an entity so I could monitor those and send notifications if needed.
      My usecase is sometimes openLuup crashes and MSR picks that up pretty quick, sending a pushover notification to me would get my attention to restart it.
      Of course there are many ways to monitor connectivity but since MSR already is doing that it would be neat to take advantage of it.

    • RE: Vera account suspended for a 1000 years

      He is very sensitive if anyone criticizes his baby, I'm with @akbooer but believe the wheels have already fallen off as there are few devs left on the forum.
      It will be at least 2 years before there is a viable marketable product let alone any plugins to replace what will be lost when Vera goes EOL.

      There is nothing on that forum that is of interest now. Before it was a joy to open it and read what others had achieved, look at it now, just full of beta comments of possible new FW.
      Commercially, I've opted for Homeseer and have never looked back especially as HS4 now supports node-red natively, but always read this forum first as it has many old friends on board advancing Home Management Automation. Keep up the good work guy's and don;t look back.

      Z-Wave Works With Amazon, Google, Samsung, Apple, Comcast Virtual Conference
      by DrZWave
      Silicon Labs is hosting what was intended to be an in-person conference in Austin Texas but is now a virtual online conference on IoT ecosystems - the Works With Smart Home Developer Event September 9-10. The best part is it is now FREE to attend any of the in-depth technical sessions and you don't have to wear a mask. The downside is that we don't get to experience all that great music down in Austin - well, there's always next year!

    • RE: CORE by Oh-La LABS

      Seems reminiscent to something that happened on another forum recently?
      It's a long path to success, just the battle to get regional certifications puts many great ideas in the "too hard basket".
      It's also scant on hardware support.
      For my money I'd be heading in the software direction and allow users to choose their own Hardware.
      Anyway, good luck to them, judging by their road map they will have system up. running and be market ready head of EZLO.

    • RE: Advances made in Presence Detection?

      OK, the price differences are because of the different systems that they can be used with.
      The E276 is for Dali - that is a very professional lighting system. I agree, I would just wave my hands about however for installations in large buildings it's a very clever way to control lighting intensity - Building Management Systems are a very different animal.
      E79 for Wifi or Zigbee isn't a deal breaker and in fact can be a a very clever way of light control in a Smart House without the complication of additional systems.
      Looking forward to unwrapping the box when it arrives....watch this space.

    • RE: HVAC Control

      I'm using Broadlink's, both the RM Pro and Mini, inexpensive and easy to use. I have 2 Pros and 1 Mini, they have been rock solid for years.
      Still using the old Broadlink Vera PlugIn (you all know the one that the author had a dummy spit and took his bat and ball with him after patrick pointed out some problems with his code 🙂 )
      There is/was a problem with the latest RM4 in so much that the existing Plugins didn't work with it, not sure if that ever got sorted out.
      The work around now is to use Node-Red with the RM4's
      As for controlling sensors, I just got an old Remotec for OAT positioned under the eaves cobbled together with Reactor and Site Sensor (for local AP Weather).

    • RE: Cheapest platform on which to run MSR

      Raspberry Pi's are in short supply (scarce) and also costly now, thanks to the chip shortage.
      Also the power supply is VERY important, a phone charger won't cut it especially on the most recent Pi4, I swapped an V1 Pi4 out with a new and now more expensive Pi4 yesterday and couldn't get it to boot on the old Power Supply. It was doing my head in until I swapped it for a 2.4A Inline charger.
      This brings me to what I was going to start a new thread on but you beat me to it.
      What are are alternatives to a Pi4?

    • RE: Smart door lock

      It might be easier to consider replacing the Door Strike with a electric one controlled by a suitable relay. This way you don't need to interfere with the existing door and door lock.

    • RE: Moving MSR to Docker

      @toggledbits
      In this case "scorched earth" worked.
      Unfortunately, I did it before I read your reply so we will never know the exact reason why adding the second controller returned a 404 error.

      Now onto MQTT and other temptations such as Fronius to InfluxBD but those are off topic for this thread. Thanks again.

    • RE: Moving MSR to Docker

      It indents correctly, just the way the it copied over.
      I'm planning on reinstalling this over the weekend there must be 'hidden" characters that somehow have been transposed.
      Better to start with a clean sheet.

    • Moving MSR to Docker

      I've decided to start a long needed rationalisation (harmonisation)of my resources and began by installing Docker on a fresh RPi4 with SSD.
      Hopefully this will evolve into a more complete HA System combining various systems that I have , ie Vera, Homeseer, Shelly and use different Containers such as InfluxDB, Granfana, Node-red, MQTT etc.
      The starting point has been to integrate a Vera Edge and Vera Lite into MSR.
      I've been able to connect them via Node-red in Docker however no matter what I try MSR refuses to connect to both.
      It does a dummy spit and refuses to load the second unit usually by refusing to reconnect.
      I have had this working previously on the very first MSR in the dim distant past so I know it should work but after 4 days of trying different configs just in case it was a typo I've struck a dead end and need expert help 🙂

      controllers:

      • id: vera
        enabled: true
        implementation: VeraController
        name: Vera Lite
        config:
        source: 'http://10.0.0.1:3480'

      • id: test
        enabled: true
        implementation: VeraController
        name: Vera Edge
        config:
        source: 'http://10.0.0.61:3480'

      Using both causes MSR to freeze, either one by itself works.
      What have I missed?

    • RE: Seeking experts for implementing Modbus TCP

      If you are looking for modbus integration then you might look at HomeSeer which has a Modbus plug in and supports MQTT
      There is an existing thread about Solar Edge which mentions that they (Solar Edge) do not expose panel information but you might want to follow this up.

    • RE: Recommendation for new hub

      I went for Homeseer, I liked you could run it local either on Windows or roll your own PC with 30 days to try it out.
      Horses for courses, what suits one doesn't suit the other.

    • RE: Build 21313 question

      The image shows the capability of the switch, which is momentary contact.
      Obviously something is being lost in translation as you don't see what I'm asking and I don't understand what your question is when translated.
      So the topic requires improvement as per your request.

      My guess is that it replaces the slider ON/OFF with a Push Button.
