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
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
@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
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.

Ahh sure (as ever, sorry) I don't have the Copy Attributes. I'm really sorry I did think I'd posted a load more lines, but clearly not. I bet you were exasperated 
I did try again as something odd happens when I try to copy large blocks from terminal and now I'm told the post is too long.
I've uploaded the log and the hass states file here
Reactor was running, but this wasn't an upgrade of HA (that was Sunday) this was updates of various plugins (e.g. Alexa Media Player) which required a restart of HA

MSR - Google Drive
Hi. First off this is an unsupported version of HS 2026.5.2 so happy to be told it's that.
Currently running latest-26130-3d2a489a on a Debian Buster bare metal VM.
I've been working on moving away from OpenLuup completely and up until now have been using some virtual switches t manage things like 'Is there anyone home'
I have a binary sensor in HA that provides the same thing
binary_sensor.someone_home which appears in MSR as
hass>binary_sensor_someone_home
HA shows on or off. MSR shows true or false
All fine. The odd thing happened after an update of HA and a restart.
From HA
13:07:04 it turned off
13:07:11 it turned on
However that does not appear to have been reflected in MSR which turned all the heating and so on off as it is supposed to do, and I got all my notifications as I should.
Here's a huge log section (sorry) as I wanted to show how MSR identifies that HA is up and running at 12:07:08 (Zulu) but triggers the 'There's no one here' at 12:07:17 some 6 seconds after HA updated to on.
Checking in the interface MSR said the status was 'False' while HA stated 'On'

This is hardly the end of the world as HA restarting is rare and I simply hit refresh on the entity in MSR but is this some kind of race condition or something that needs addressing?
Hoping I've given enough data to make it sensible

Morning lovely people. Having just had some new rads put in, I dumped the old TRVs for snacky enw Zigbee ones, which work great.
Currently my gas boiler has a Horstman Z-wave relay bound to a remote thermostat so only comes on depending on when the thermostat puts out a call for heat
Has anyone else got all their rads on TRVs and if so, how are you managing boiler control?
I'm thinking about using a Reaction that effectively says 'If any TRV is 'on', turn the boiler on by raising the setpoint on the thermostat' and vice versa.
Currently this isn't great as we have two rads (one in the kitchen (which has underfloor heating) and in the hall, (where the remote thermostat is) which don't have TRVs. If I set the thermostat to 25 (say) when a rad calls for heat, those two rooms get roasting no matter what else is going on.
So my thoughts are:
Add TRVs to these two rads and all will be well.
Is this a sensible approach, or is there a better way of doing it? Thanks, as ever!

Super, TYVM
My NAS blew a drive just after I arrived back in the country so I'll get the replacement sorted and upgrade next week
As ever, much appreciated!
C
Ah I probably mis-spoke. I'm not aware of a break between HA / MSR, however some of my cards and integrations can't be updated without updating to core 2026.4.1 (although that's latest) and HAOS 17.1
Does that make more sense?
I was more concerned about upgrading to an un-blessed version of HA
Cheers
C
Morning. Do we have a roadmap for the next release, at all? I only ask as there's a breaking HA change and I have many packages now out of date.
Cheers!
