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.

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.@toggledbits I understand that you do not perform testing on Mac computers but thought I'd share the following with you in case something can be done.
I started seeing these errors with version 24302. I thought that upgrading to 24343 would have fixed the issue but unfortunately not. I either have to close the browser or clear the cache for the errors to stop popping-up but they slowly come back.
I see these errors on the following browsers:

Build 24343 has fully HTTP actions, so cool things could be created (see docs). I've recently changed a couple of cams because better definition and I've found tha Reolink has a couple of cams that have spotlights. While the spotlights are driven by motion (so the cam could record in color), I wanted to drive them directly, so in case of any "security" event, like alarm on, door open, etc, I could use the lights to have a better video and make - you know - light.
So, if you want to use HTTP actions in VirtualController, just go to config, entities under your VirtualEntityController section in reactor.yaml, and add this:
- id: cams_retro_spotlights name: "Retro Cam - Spotlights" template: Binary Switch # update the status at interval http_request: interval: 900 # 15m url: "http://192.168.1.31/cgi-bin/api.cgi?user=foo&password=foo" method: "POST" force_json: true headers: "Content-Type": "application/json" "Accept": "application/json" body: '[{"cmd": "GetWhiteLed", "action": 0 , "param": { "channel": 0 }}]' capabilities: power_switch: attributes: state: expr: "isnull( response ) ? null : response[0]?.value?.WhiteLed?.state == 1" default: false actions: "on": http_request: url: "http://192.168.1.31/cgi-bin/api.cgi?user=foo&password=foo" method: "POST" force_json: true headers: "Content-Type": "application/json" "Accept": "application/json" body: '[{"cmd": "SetWhiteLed", "param": { "WhiteLed": {"bright" : 100, "channel": 0, "mode": 1, "state": 1}}}]' target: state expr: "isnull( response ) ? null: response[0]?.value?.rspCode == '200'" "off": http_request: url: "http://192.168.1.31/cgi-bin/api.cgi?user=foo&password=foo" method: "POST" force_json: true headers: "Content-Type": "application/json" "Accept": "application/json" body: '[{"cmd": "SetWhiteLed", "param": { "WhiteLed": {"bright" : 100, "channel": 0, "mode": 1, "state": 0}}}]' target: state expr: "isnull( response ) ? null : response[0]?.value?.rspCode == '200' ? false : null"Reolink has API where you have to post a JSON and the response will give you a JSON (in theory). It's not really JSON, so force_json: true will do the trick for you. I'm lefting this as an example of cool things you could do with the new capabilites added/documented in 24343. HTH.
Thanks to @toggledbits for adding a custom CSS. I've started doing a darker Reactor style.
Here's the file: https://gist.github.com/dbochicchio/825098ac13b7f8cac22012eae37ff7ce
A couple of things are still too bright and I'll eventually catch-up. Just place it under your /config directory, naming the file as customstyles.css. Hard refresh your browser.
Hi
Having to rebuild my Linux Debian box as the SSD failed. And I have forgotten exactly what I did the first time to get it all setup.
I have Debian 12 up and running on the new SSD, I only have console no Desktop GUI.
I am trying to do the bare metal install for MSR. However I am not sure if I am meant to install nodejs whlist logged in as the root user or as the none root user with my name ?
I used putty and connected via SSH and logged in as root and I installed nodejs but I think this was wrong as when logged in as my user name and I do a node -v command it says node is not installed or doesn't show any version number anyway.
But when logged in as root and I do a node -v command it does show me its installed and displays the version number. maybe its a path issue for my username and he can't see node is installed?
So now I am thinking I should of installed node whilst logged in as my user name and not as the root user.
This is how I installed nodejs as whilst logged in as root

Thanks in advance.
As the title says, here's my OpenAI Controller for Reactor:
OpenAI Controller per Reactor. Contribute to dbochicchio/reactor-openai development by creating an account on GitHub.
It supports both OpenAI and Azure OpenAI endpoints. You'll need keys/endpoints, according to each service.
The controller supports multiple models, and each one could be mapped as an entity.
It's quite easy to use, and responses can be stored in variables, for easy access. Or sent to another action (Text To Speech, another endpoint, etc).

Have fun with LLM into your scenes!
I've switched to a virtual entity with both power_switch and string_sensor capabilities to represent the current holiday.
The power switch is used to indicate if it's a public holiday (so, no school/work), while the string sensor is a string with the actual holiday (Easter, Christmas, Halloween, etc - we don't have thanksgiving), mostly to drive lights.
I build it with some static dates (mostly birthdays/anniversaries) and then the dynamics ones are taken from webcal.guru. My lights/scenes are linked to events this way and it's easier to manage it in the long run: just a bunch of group action in the reaction driving the lights. This part is outside Reactor for me (because, legacy), but it's not difficult to completly drive it off a virtual sensor or a custom controller.
I don't know how people are doing this, but I'm lefting a note for the ones looking for a working solution.
In Home Assistant I have an integration that if I add entities to it, I will get the following error in MSR as certain entity values I'm using in expressions are null for a moment. This is more or less cosmetic issue and happens very rarely as I rarely modify that integration on the hass side.
Screenshot 2024-11-28 at 22.20.41.png
And the expression is
Screenshot 2024-11-28 at 22.38.19.png
Could I "wrap" hass-entity shown above somewhat differently to prevent this error from happening? Using build 24302.
Hello
I am trying to set up Multi System Reactor to automate routines across multiple smart home devices & platforms (e.g., Home Assistant, SmartThings, and Hubitat). While I have successfully linked the systems; I am facing issues with:
-Delays in triggering actions on secondary devices.
-Inconsistent execution of complex logic conditions.
-Synchronization of states between devices when one system updates.
Is there a recommended way to optimize performance & confirm seamless state sharing across systems?
I have checked https://smarthome.community/category/22/multi-system-reactor-msbi guide for reference but still need advice.
Any tips on debugging or log analysis to pinpoint where the issue arises would also be appreciated.
Thank you !
Hello AK
Have been writing about the openLuup email server as I was tinkering with it the other day. One minor problem: it looks like the domain part of the email address eg ...@openLuup.local is case sensitive in openLuup.
Looking round the net, it suggests that the local part is case sensitive but the domain part is not meant to be. To keep things so they are more likely to work, it's suggested the email address should be totally case insensitive regardless. Refer to rfc2821 page 13 or search on the word "sensitive". Suffice to say I was using mail@openluup.local rather than mail@openLuup.local, so it didn't work for me.
Next challenge was that the file saved in /etc/cmh-ludl/mail has "Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64" so the body of the email was encoded:
Received: from ((openLuup.smtp) [ip_address_1] by (openLuup.smtp v18.4.12) [ip_address_2]; Tue, 26 Nov 2024 14:21:22 +1000 From: "dali@switchboard" <dali@switchboard> To: "mail@openLuup.local" <mail@openLuup.local> Subject: Warning form R2E. MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 QXV0byBXYXJuaW5nOiBDb2xkIHN0YXJ0IGV2ZW50The above base 64 text translates to "Auto Warning: Cold start event".
Is it your preference to leave the saved files in the raw mode or would you consider translating the base64 text in the openLuup code base?
On a side note, does the reception of an email by openLuup generate some sort of trigger that can be watched. In the case above; the email represents the restoration of power after a power outage. I would like to know about that by the email triggering a "Telegram" notification on my mobile.
I see that the images@openLuup.local images@openLuup.local can be associated with I_openLuupCamera1.xml, which spawns a movement detector child. Anything similar for the other email addresses?
I've managed to use MSR UI on iOS devices to some degree*, so that although UI elements (e.g. rule sets) are not visible in portrait mode, you've seen them in landscape. Now with recents builds (24302) this does not work anymore, elements (rule sets, entities) are not anymore visible in landscape mode.
Does anyone have similar experiences? Using iOS 18 and Safari/Chrome browser.
( *Drag & drop of rule conditions have never worked on a mobile)
@toggledbits Since I have upgraded ZWaveJSController to 24293 from 24257 I am seeing entries related to registering action set_volume, but action is not defined by the capability 143 every time I restart Reactor.
The Siren seems to be doing what it is supposed to do. The volume levels are fine. Should I worry about it?
Reactor version 24302
ZWaveJSController version 24293
Z-Wave JS UI version 9.27.4
zwave-js version 14.3.4
I have an oven that I need to manage the temperature of, keeping it in the neighborhood of 600° C (1100° F). I have not been able to find a Zigbee-enabled solution to measure temps that high. Does anyone know if such a thing exists? If not, any ideas for how to roll a custom solution that I could integrate into a Sonoff ihost controller? I have no trouble finding high temperature probes, but none of them interface with my automation stack.
Hi All
Hopefully this place looks like a helpful forum as I’m quite new to all this!
I’ve had a few devices all working separately /through their proprietary apps but we’re just finishing off a large house extension and this has added to the list.
I’d ideally like to be able to view/switch a number of different devices on one screen/head end but have no idea where to start.
The devices we have/will have shortly are as follows;
Zigbee Smart Sockets
Zigbee smart switches (for lights)
Heatmiser Neo Underfloor Heating (this runs from a Samsung ASHP but that part is automatic)
Samsung VRF air conditioning (currently using Smart Things App)
Hive (2xLTHW heating circuits in the existing house and Hot Water)
Ring (doorbell!)
Hik Vision PoE CCTV
We have lots of appliances (Neff N70) which we can control remotely but not too fussed about controlling those at the
Moment)
Any help/recommendations would be appreciated!
Thanks
Adrian

But how do I update that?
e09ffa19-a31d-4a03-8983-01228bc5478f-image.png
I have a legacy home automation set-up running on Windows XP. the computer and software have now died.
I have written a very nice Excel VBA program to replace the software and it can run on any modern Windows system.
My only remaining problem is to output the correct signal to a USB port to trigger the wireless switches.
Has anybody done a similar exercise. Please help.
The locksmith is trying to persuade me to purchase the BE-TECH K35 touchscreen lock with both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, claiming it's better than the Yale Assure Lock 2. What are your thoughts on this? Which one would you recommend?
Here is the link to the Chinese brand BE-TECH: BE-TECH Smart Deadbolt K3S.
The other smart lock I am considering is the Schlage Encode Plus.
Thank you!

Cheapest platform on which to run MSRWith the new Raspberry Pi Imager you can configure the boot sequence and user when you download (format) the card or SSD.
Click on the settings Icon (lower righthand side) that will give you access to setting User Names, SSH and more..
Make sure you use the Rasp Pi downloader for this and its a breeze.I suggest you just throw caution to the wind and buy a SSD, they aren't that much more expensive than a SD Card.
The Pi4 makes it all worth while -
CORE by Oh-La LABSSeems 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. -
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. -
HVAC ControlI'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). -

3D Printers - What to get in your opinion? -
Dumb question about bulbsIf space is an issue you can also fit the module at the light fitting. It's a common method when there isn't a Neutral at the switch and a Neutral optional relay isn't on hand.
I won't comment any further on wiring rules as I'm quoting AUS/NZ not UK which will be different and may confuse.
I'll moov to the next topic now...... -
Moving MSR to Docker -
I'm bored :DI invested in a 3D Printer...eventually.
Turns out there not that expensive after all. +1 to a Ender V2. Easy to put together and great youtube support.
The hardest part has been learning CAD- Autodesk, probably should say the most frustrating part, but now fairly conversant and can design complex designs.
That was my winter, now we are looking at Spring & Summer and the end of lockdown.
The EnderV2 is turning out adapters and wall brackets, quality is better than good and is merchantable. -
Nest thermostat alternative...@akbooer said in Nest thermostat alternative...:
I’m not so much besotted by the fact that they use WiFi, it’s just the ease of setup, integration within the system, and general ‘fit and forget’... it just couldn’t be further from Zwave in that regard.
@akbooer
I was very skeptical about Shelly when they first came out; WiFi --phutt why bother, it has to be Z-Wave I thought - How wrong could I be.
After using the Dimmer 2 I couldn't get enough of them.
How is it that Z-Wave could be so convoluted in setting up when a relative new comer to the market makes it so simple?
My thoughts - FWIW - Z-wave has become over complicated that even professional installers baulk at the mention of Z-Wave and are turning to KNX systems because they know they won't get phone calls or call outs about latency - realistically KNX does not cost that much more than Z-Wave and you can sleep at night knowing the system works instantly.
Best of all is that there are KNX plugins for most systems and you can take advantage of all protocols - after all it is IOT :} -
Cheapest platform on which to run MSR@toggledbits said in Cheapest platform on which to run MSR:
I want to add that I've been using a (Raspberry Pi) Compute Module 4 with 8GB EMMC on board
Way to go, unfortunately for me, the CM4 I/O board is the only part available. The Compute Module 4 is OOS (all versions), sigh.....
BTW, I love the case.....makes it all look very professional. -
