@toggledbits said in Reactor (Multi-System/Multi-Hub) Announcements:

Reaction Editor: when editing the Set or Reset reaction of a Rule, the Copy From... button will now list the contra-reaction at the top of the list, making it easier to find and copy the reaction within the current Rule.
UI: The condition and action editors now support a right-click context menu on conditions and actions. The menu provides copy-paste of individual conditions and actions. Other menu actions are added where they make sense. Thank @therealdb for this power-user feature!

Oh My! That is very cool indeed!

C

Now I have to say even I know about the button

C

@wmarcolin FWIW Home Assistant and Alexa Media Player can give you what you (and so much more) in about an hour's set up.

C

As ever, my thanks. Upgraded to 26177 and all is well!

C

I came here as I was seeing the same Telegram behaviour. I only have one profile. so am happy that the fix will resolve it for me

C

I think this makes sense if you're starting afresh. Personally I've exposed my devices from MSR via HA Bridge and it works really well for me

Today marks another milestone in my Home Automation journey.

After tripping the main breaker once, and shedding more blood than is normally recommended, the underfloor heating (which was the last Z-wave device on my system) has been replaced with a Zigbee one.

Edited reactor.conf
Disabled z-way-server
Disabled Openluup

Z-wave is no more....

C

Perfect! Thanks (again)

C

Thanks again for the recent release. One thing I wanted to ask about integrations and their 'loaded' condition:

Is there something similar that applies to the entire controller? So if I have (for example) a helper in HA that is used to trigger an automation in MSR, is it possible to effectively exclude it until MSR is 'happy' that HA is stable and its values can be trusted?

This, actually goes back to the issue I had. I've got a use case where a 30 second delay from triggering is a bit of a PITA (sustained for...) and was just wondering if there's a way of knowing that 'native' HA functions are working correctly.

Probably asking wrong, or it's hideously obvious, but...

TIA

C

Thanks, installed and working.

Although after the first restart there were some virtual switches in HA that were not being accurately reflected in MSR, but I restarted MSR again, and everything looks fine.

Thanks again for your help. Next time I'll upload the logs to start with!

C

You are an absolute gent, sir

C

Fabulous!

I've actually just put reset delays in the two rules that are triggered. The 'set' is heating on so it's the reset that's a PITA. That should cover it.

C

Of course. I'm not sure what I'd do without him!

C

@therealdb that would rather force (in this case) all the heating off (or on), wouldn't it?

I like the idea of a 30 second delay though.

C

Thanks, helpful input!

C

OK I've just done some digging: When HA restarts, all three sensors

sensor.rachel_primary_region

Go 'unknown'

Someone Home (fairly logically) goes 'Off'

The period of 'Unknown' is about 5-10 seconds before the correct status is realised.

Here's the data from the last restart

binary_sensor.someone_home	unknown	2026-05-19T12:06:55.461Z
binary_sensor.someone_home	off	2026-05-19T12:07:04.582Z
binary_sensor.someone_home	on	2026-05-19T12:07:11.505Z

TIA

C

I don't believe so, It's been used in several places in HA without issue across restarts. I will see if I can double check that however, as it may simply not have been noticed if it's coming up 'off' and immediately tripping to the correct state.

C

This was a Claude.AI creation ('cos obviously it's way beyond me!) The specific sensor is at the end but I've posted the whole thing in case...

I did indeed do a reload. Never done it before, but was trying to work out how to get them back in sync as it were.
