I need a handful of victims volunteers to help test previews of the next build of Reactor. A long-standing request was for "a simple login mechanism," but in practice, adding user authentication and competent access control turned out to be a pretty big project with a lot of big changes on both server and client sides. It's a bit more than I'm comfortable testing myself and springing out to everyone at once, so I'd like to work with a small group to put it through "sea trials."
Major changes/features include:
User authentication with hashed password storage; User group configuration with application restriction (admin, dashboard, API); Detailed control over API access, with user- and token-based authentication/authorization; Improvements to the HTTPS service; Improvements to UI coordination with the core for Rules and Reactions.If this sounds like something you'd like to help with, drop me a reply here in this thread or privately.
Good morning,
So Home Assistant decided to change the default weather home format that I've been using for the past year and a half. I had two Global Expressions set up to pull the high and low temp forecast for the day. Now it's pulling null values.
094c9205-cc9e-4fcc-ac4f-1bf54acea299-image.png
In the dev tools, it now uses a new service (Weather. get forecasts), plural, where the old Weather.get forecast is depreciated and now longer functions.
8c7a1fcc-dd3f-4268-a0b7-29d542f86adc-image.png
It shows a templow field, and a temperature field, which I presume is the forecast high.
When I head back over to MSR, I'm having a hard time finding those values in the Entities tab.

MSR: latest-24057-e9add9f5
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.@DesT I think I mentioned this some time ago, but Chat in this software seems broken. I normally use Brave browser, but it's same for Chrome. Haven't tried others.
Someone is trying to contact me via chat. I can see that here:
4a8a5332-2f25-476b-a9c9-decffb6a9c01-image.png
When I click on that message, or any message in this list, the header and navigation left/right of the side go away, and I get a page that looks like this:
f69b117b-8ac9-446b-8487-6d586b24ea29-image.png
It has no messages in it, not even the message that I can see the preview for in the previous image. Nothing I do from here seems to bring up any conversations. The user who messaged me isn't listed on the left. And if I click on any of the messages in the list on the left, nothing major happens: the tab title changes and the message in the left list I click on is highlighted gray, but no conversation is displayed and the middle of page stays blank except for the input area, it doesn't even display the full text of the message I clicked on. Since there's no navigation on the page, the only way I can leave this page is to use the back button or re-enter the URL in the location bar to start over.
Maybe I'm committing some kind of ID 10T error, but it's not obvious to me what it is. Just seems... not working.
Hey Patrick, I recently have been noticing that MSR has been acting up ie. it's been needing restarts and has been slow. I began trouble shooting by looking at the logs and have noticed the following errors for a lot of entities. I thought maybe a simple reboot of RPi was needed and I kept seeing the same errors in the system logs. I am oddly enough not seeing these same errors in the MSR logs. Where things started getting weird is whenever I rebooted MSR it wouldn't come back online .I would have to restart the RPi then it would come back online. I just restarted MSR again to capture logs and it restarted fine, so I guess its good for now? I think this is more or so a corrupted SD card issue rather a MSR issue but well being troubleshooting from here. The SD card is about 1-2 years old.
Apologies if this post is everywhere, I cannot consistently recreate any oddities that are happening, that's what is leading me to believe my SD is going bad.
PS: If anyone knows how to diagnose a corrupt SD card please chime in.

Feedback / solutions with openLuup's built-in Shelly bridge.
Been using zigbee2mqtt and openLuup for sometime now and it is working well.
I attempted to add another Hue switch to-day. It's a newer version of the other ones I have been using so far. They are pretty much identical.
The older ones installed no problem (which is weird), but the new one won't. Looking at the code, it looks this function in L_Zigbee2MQTTBridge.lua:
configure_scene_controller(dno)is not being passed the parameter "dno" when the function is called. The device is created but is incomplete.
Just out of interest how do you pretty print to the log from within say L_Zigbee2MQTTBridge.lua? I tried a few incarnations such a:
local pretty = openLuup.loader.shared_environment.prettybut they all failed.
A list of openLuup releases including the latest developments…
master – stable, and infrequently updated, development – latest updates and bug fixes, testing – use only when advised!A long while ago (May, 2015) I wrote my 2000-th post on another forum: openLuup - running unmodified plugins on any machine.
Now rehosted at https://community.ezlo.com/t/openluup-running-unmodified-plugins-on-any-machine/187412
Here’s the gist of it:
...I want to work in a more open and stable [Vera] environment...
...All would be solved if Luup was open source and could be run on the plethora of cheap and reliable hardware available today. But it’s not. But we could get something like that effect if we engineered a sufficient subset of Luup to run on such a platform. Could it be done? What would we need?
1. UI
2. scheduler
3. web server
4. Luup compatible API
5. Device and Implementation xml file reader
6. Zwave bridge to Vera
7. runs most plugins without modification
What we wouldn’t need is UPnP.
What have we (nearly) got already?
We have, courtesy of @amg0, the most excellent AltUI: Alternate UI to UI7, and that, I think, is probably the hardest one to do in the above list. Items 2 - 5, and 7, I’ve prototyped, in pure Lua, and posted elsewhere: DataYours on Raspberry Pi, running selected plugins unmodified, including: DataYours, EventWatcher, Netatmo, RBLuaTest, altUI. See screenshot attached.Is it worth the effort? Probably not. Will I pursue this quest? Yes.
openLuup was the result.
This system has been running flawlessly year after year for the time changes twice a year literally since MSR came out so I was caught off-guard when this happened this morning.
Time in MSR browser is EST, time on RPi is local time (DST).

Hello,
I had an iCOMEN boiler switch that worked for many years. And I used iCOMEN app on my phone to manage it. Short time ago app started to have an error message that it cannot connect to the server, and after some time the device also stopped working.
With their awesome new X10 switch!
dbe7408f-dc86-4932-bf71-f0528f5384c1-image.png
I'm hopping in my 1980s time machine to go see whether this is exactly what I think it is. 🙂
(Srsly, tho, I love(d) X10 and did everything humanly possible to keep that old equipment perking along with Vera, and almost succeeded.)
LibraP.S. Just got banned for the 9th time from Hubitat Forum, so had a little extra time to throw shade.
P.P.S. The boilerplate 5-star reviews for this brand-new product come from bots with names like Avery, Phoenix and Owen (two from Mateo!). Sheesh.
Hi,
For the standard capabilities MSR sends both a value record and a units record to InfluxDB. The latter I would like not to send as they are not really any use for me and it will reduce the number of records send to my InfluxDB.
Is there a quick way to do this with a filter_entities line like: *>units?
Or do I have to update all capabilities to read like this:
power_sensor:
attributes:
value: true
Cheers Rene
I'm trying to replicate this
wallbox_set_number.PNG
into a MQTT entity where I could set a number with a min and max value.
I can't find a standard capability that fits or any documentation on local MQTT capabilities and the only post on the forum mentioning local MQTT capabilities is this post, is it even possible in current release?
My trial and error work in local_mqtt_capabilities.yaml isn't much to show as it's just a copy of mqtt_capabilities.yaml with changed names and then I got stuck.
Any guidance, examples, documentation, future feature request or denial would be much appreciated, thanks!

Hoping you could tell us a bit about your experiences with ZWaveJS and MQTT.
Hi guys,
I've recently bought a new Govee outdoor permanent lights set, and I love it. WAF is pretty high, and the product is good quality. I hope to never run lights in the front of the house.
This new addition has found me searching for something to control these lights, locally. Govee has officials remote and LAN APIs and Home Assistant has it supported, but some undocumented stuff that's integrated into an Homebridge plugin that seems very promising. Without this plugin, my playlist is orchestrated via the cloud and that makes zero sense.
In the past I got some inspiration from plugins running on other platforms and Homebridge seems one of the most active. I could map its devices via HomeKit-local on HA, but I've decommissioned Homebridge years ago when we settled to Alexa (and I want to stay simple), so I had an idea: why get inspiration and rewrite things, when you could write an Homebridge adapter that could load any Homebridge plugin and run them natively under Reactor (MSR)?
I'm not sure if that's viable or made any sense, so I'm posting here to get feedback, encouragement and your thoughts. Anyone could be potentially interested in such a thing?
Hi- looking for a hint in where to start. My goal is to set a PIN code in a zwave kwikset lock triggered in a rule.
The device isn’t exposing methods to help. The x-hass.call-service looks promising, but what would the service name be?
Plan b would be send the zwave controller a config command- I don’t see any way to explicitly send a command through JS Zwave in my environment.
Running reactor bare metal. JS Zwave is running as an add on inside HASS OS.
Any tips are appreciated.
Originally I was using Futzle's UPnP event proxy plugin on Vera with the Sonos plugin. Worked very well.
On making the move to openLuup, one finds that the proxy can't be used because the proxy daemon start and stop, etc uses a script installed by the plugin that only works on openWRT, as used by Vera.
The Sonos plugin still works without the proxy but it reverts to polling. It becomes a bit on the sluggish side and sometimes doesn't function quite as intended.
I've modified the proxy plugin to install a script that runs as a systemd service. systemd can be found on a lot of contemporary Linux installs, including Raspberry Pis. To make use of; just install the plugin from the AltUI app store and restart the Luup engine a couple of times. The dashboard should indicate "Status: Proxy running".
Note that the service file expects "L_UPnPProxyDaemon.lua" to be located at the typical plugin files location:
/etc/cmh-ludl/After the plugin is installed, the service file should be found in:
/etc/systemd/system/as UPnPProxy.service.
If you use the Sonos plugin, you need to change the variable "UseProxy" to "1" and restart the LuupEngine. In the Sonos parent device, you should see: "Running x zones; proxy detected".
Updated doco here.
Hope it works - YMMV.
Hey crew, I'm trying to use MSR to control the RGB values of a Z-Wave bulb in Home Assistant.
Problem I'm running into - I would like to use 'rgb_color.set' to control this, but it doesn't work, instead it always passes the values '255,255,255' to HA no matter what values I enter within MSR.
More notes and examples below - I'm wondering if this is a formatting issue that I'm missing? Thanks for any help!
NOTES FROM TROUBLESHOOTING:
'rgb_color.set_rgb' works successfully, which seems strange. You'd think they would both be affected I've tried a couple different formats, like adding quotes, adding/removing spaces between the RGB values, nothing has fixed it.EXAMPLES:
When I use 'rgb_color.set_rgb', the values successfully carry over to Home Assistant:

But when I use 'rgb_color.set', the values DO NOT successfully carry over to Home Assistant:

Core 2024.2.5 Supervisor 2024.02.1 Operating System 12.0Some of you may know that I took at shot at building an alternate geofencing solution for Vera. The core of it was system agnostic, using the OwnTracks application and AWS lambdas to track devices and keep a central data, then disseminate that to the Vera via a websocket-based plugin. It worked with other apps as well, including Tasker and GPSLogger, but of the dozen people that were testing it, most used OwnTracks.
A lot was learned in the process, not the least of which is that the success of any such solution is highly dependent on the phone and its settings. Phone manufacturers love to set things up for the longest battery life, of course, but that's usually very anti-geofencing behavior. In the case of at least one brand, it was unusable and the settings could not be modified. It was also cost-prohibitive to maintain on Amazon, as AWS grabs a dime here and a dollar there and before you know it, it added $100/month to my AWS bill, which my wife deducted from my Scotch budget. Unacceptable.
But it's quite reasonable to use OwnTracks to a local endpoint, and I could pretty easily replicate the functionality as a local application, or maybe even as an additional endpoint built into MSR's API (still separate port and process, but in the package).
So the question really is... would you do it, or would you be too concerned about the security risks associated (e.g., dynamic DNS and NAT mapping in the firewall necessary for the phone to contact the service when not on LAN)?

I was seeing similar network issues and also came to the conclusion that the socket library was most likely at fault. My solution is to use Mosquitto as my main broker, which accepts all MQTT traffic (topic # in 0) with all my MQTT devices pointing to it, and then Mosquitto filters push traffic to openLuup. Below is my config file that displays the filters:
allow_anonymous true
password_file /mosquitto/data/PW.txt
listener 1883
connection openLuup
address 127.0.0.1:1882
topic tele/# out
topic stat/# out
topic BlueIris/# out
topic # in 0
cleansession false
notifications true
username *****
password *******
bridge_protocol_version mqttv311
try_private false
log_timestamp true
log_timestamp_format %Y-%m-%d--T_%H:%M:%S
As you can see, Mosquitto runs on the same server as openLuup. It is started by a docker compose file. The config filters eliminated the network errors on openLuup and my openLuup install now runs for days on end without any errors at all. I also have HA running on the same server via docker compose, though I only use it for its Hacs Alexa integration. I pipe my Alexa calls to HA using an HA token and a crude plugin that I wrote. I have not found a use for HA outside of openLuup yet, though there are some interesting integrations I will eventually try out.
As regards MQTT I don't think you need to worry about network traffic so much as mqtt is an extremely light protocol, at least in so far as compared to cameras and hi-def wireless etc ( I have a bunch of these high bandwidth devices on my network in their own subnets). I have found that the thing that tends to bog down is the lua socket function and as long as you limit its connections, you will probably alleviate most of the network problems.
Nginx is one of the best web servers available, specializing in load balancing millions of connections, and from what I've read, it is written in Lua. Which suggests that the lua socket module itself is causing the network issues as Nginx most likely rolled their own network library.
@akbooer I think I found the culprit causing the random connection disconnects to Mosquitto. The LWT payload for a given device is a simple string, which doesn't seem to decode in the json decode call. So I added the below code to send a json string to the decoder. The errors have disappeared and I now see the LWT variable in the service variables. The variable reads "LWT : Online"
--line 165
local valid = {SENSOR = true, STATE = true, RESULT = true, LWT = true}
--line 172
-- begin code
local info, err = json.decode (message)
if message then
if not info then -- json did not decode because of single string parameter
message = '{' .. '"' .. mtype .. '"' .. ':' .. '"' .. message .. '"' .. '}'
end
end
-- end code
local info, err = json.decode (message)
This is probably not the way you would handle the error, but it does work.

No, you can still configure UDP. You just need login credentials now.
If I have a few moments, I will try to set up one of my Pi machines this weekend with an instance of Mosquitto. My HA server that runs my docker Mosquitto is headless, and I run Ubuntu server, so command line captures of packets are just a drag. My Pi has an hdmi port so I should be able to load the gui version of wireshark, and then test/capture the traffic between the two instances. I will let you know.
@rafale77 hey Rafale,
I went down the very same road a while back and threw in towel because the polling by the MQTT plugin created CPU drags that stopped openLuup from functioning "reliably". The instability was also in part because I use two other must-have plugins that rely on polling, and I imagine that the combination of the three was creating a scenario that caused intermittent failures. And I too ended up implementing MQTT in Home Assistant and then using RealDB's virtual HTTP plugin to send commands to my WiFi devices--albeit not knowing the status of the devices in openLuup after the send.
I'm looking at RigPapa's socket proxy and WebSocket plugins to see if I can transform my polling plugins to Async. The MQTT plugin is too complex for me to convert though, so if you take a crack at it, and are successful, I would very much appreciate you publishing your results, as MQTT is becoming a must for me.
@akbooer I hate to add more to the pile... but I'm still seeing a receive error for the connection to mosquitto. openLuup 2021.04.29b

end
I can't find a deeper layer in the stack where I can trap for the incoming message to see what's in the message that is throwing the error. As near as I can tell, if openLuup tries to connect to a running mosquitto instance, then it fails to see the topics and messages, and passes empty--but not nil--strings when the servlet interface sees incoming bytes.
If I restart mosquitto, openLuup then sees the topics and messages and the error messages stop--and the connection to mosquitto remains stable.
This behavior does not occur when I aim an IOT device directly at openLuup--in that the connection to the device always resumes when openLuup reloads--in other words, I don't need to restart the IOT device to enable the connection.
@akbooer Below is the relevant output of a typical packet between mosquitto and a mosquitto bridged instance. In this case, mosquitto is sending update data to the bridge regarding a tasmota device/switch I use to remotely reboot my Vera. The format is definitely MQTT 3.1 and not 5.0, as 5.0 would not parse correctly in the wireshark viewer. The data payload is at the top of the window as Wireshark will truncate long messages. I can PM you the entire capture as it's not much, but may contain technical info that's best kept private. Let me know.
I'll try to capture some traffic between openLuup and mosquitto later.

@toggledbits I was able to install the container through compose, however, I had to make some changes to get it working. See below for my compose file:
MSR:
container_name: reactor
image: toggledbits/reactor:latest-generic-amd64
restart: "on-failure"
environment:
REACTOR_DATA_PREFIX: /var/reactor
TZ: America/Los_Angeles
expose:
- 8111
ports:
- 8111:8111
volumes:
- /home/username/reactor:/var/reactor
- /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro
tmpfs: /tmp
# logging:
# driver: "json-file"
# options:
# max-file: 5
# max-size: 2m
The changes I made are:
1.) substitute "MSR" for "web" for the service name. This was just a precaution against a generic service name interfering with container management programs I use, and was not a needed/critical change to get things working.
2.) simplify the volume syntax for binding a data volume. The syntax you have on your website caused a yaml compile error with version: '3.7' compose.
3.) comment out the logging options. These options compiled, but threw a runtime JSON error that stopped the container from coming up:
ERROR: for MSR Cannot create container for service MSR: json: cannot unmarshal number into Go struct field LogConfig.HostConfig.LogConfig.Config of type string
ERROR: Encountered errors while bringing up the project.
I hope to cut out some time next week to start forming some logic. The web UI looks great.
@akbooer No errors in 2021.04.18. Thanks for this as the changes also stabilized my Mosquitto bridge connection, which tended to flop with every error message.

@akbooer Yes but as you can see on the connect, the version is "Version: Unknown (132)"
This is what is causing the problem. After much searching and trying different configs, I stumbled on the following which solved the problem. From mosquitto.org
try_private [ true | false ]
If try_private is set to true, the bridge will attempt to indicate to the remote broker that it is a bridge not an ordinary client. If successful, this means that loop detection will be more effective and that retained messages will be propagated correctly. Not all brokers support this feature so it may be necessary to set try_private to false if your bridge does not connect properly.
Defaults to true.
So I set the attribute to false in my bridge config and immediately connected openLuup to the mosquitto broker. The connect packet shows the right version, and with a luup reload, all of my mosquitto broker topics populated in mqtt explorer that was pointed at openLuup. However, I don't see the topics in the mqtt console on openLuup?? Which is odd because I not only see the openLuup topics in explorer, but I see the topics actively changing.
I'm not a good one to suggest code changes, but since this mosquitto setting defaults to true, can you try to incorporate the try_private flag in openLuup's MQTT server.... It took a long time to track this down and I imagine anyone else that tries to connect the two servers will be in for a similar bug fix adventure.
@akbooer Yes, I was thinking along those lines as the bridge config allows filters. The latest openLuup version now works fine with try_private flag set to default (true). Thanks for nailing this down and your work is definitely appreciated. Below is the connection to openLuup.
Here's my Mosquitto config for anyone who wants to bridge the two brokers:
allow_anonymous true
password_file /mosquitto/data/PW.txt
listener 1883
connection openLuup
address 127.0.0.1:1882
topic # out 0
topic # in 0
cleansession false
notifications true
username XXXXX
password YYYYYYYYYY
bridge_protocol_version mqttv311
Most of these settings can/should be modified to suit one's particular needs, but the settings should be employed. The password file for mosquitto needs to be encrypted with mosquitto's built-in encryption tool. The directions are straightforward and are described in on-line documents.
