Thanks for the replies. I assumed that I would have to go about it a different way that what I was doing on the Vera with Reactor.

@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:

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.
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.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
After a major hassle got z-way running on my ubuntu 16 VM with a USB pasthough UZB1 stick including license and connected to Vera...
I see:
I also see:
0d6e8c78-c8cd-4307-9474-23e0d6a55094-image.png
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!

Using duration of a rule or trigger in an expression -
Using duration of a rule or trigger in an expressionHi, I have a rule that I have been using in the Vera version of Reactor for a number of years and I am trying to recreate it in MSR and need some advice. The rule monitors the state of our garage door and sends a regular alert if the door has been open for a period of time. The alert contains a variable/expression that provides the duration in minutes the door has been open - eg the end notification looks like this: "The door has been open for X minutes"
I have everything working OK in MSR except for constructing the expression to provide the duration the door has been open. In Reactor I was using the 'getstate' function in an expression to get the runtime of the rule and then converting that to minutes and passing it to the notify action.
In MSR I can't work out how to get any info from a rule within an expression.
The trigger is a simple pulse every X minutes so I was hoping it would be possible to just get the duration of either the rule or the time the door has been open. In the documentation there is a lot of info on getting details of entities, but I couldn't find anything on getting the status of the rules within MSR as it doesn't look like they show up as entities? I hope I didn't miss that part of the doco.
I did a bit of searching but couldn't find any discussion on getting this type of info so I'm hoping someone will be able to point me in the right direction.
I'm using build 22179 on Docker and the devices are currently in Vera but I am likely to move them to HASS at some point.

Restart Reactor option not working on QNAP dockerIf I get some time I'll test it for you and let you know via this thread, but I've made a point with this NAS of not doing anything in the command line because I want to keep it as out of the box and standard as possible. I know it's not hard, but my last NAS was basically all command line and a lot of tweaking which made for some interesting times during some upgrades so this time I'm keeping it all standard and working around any limitations.
For the documentation I wasn't suggesting you document specific issues with platforms, just what the button actually does which would help anyone in the future if they were wondering what was happening. It maybe just me, but I wouldn't have bothered to ask about this if I'd realised that the restart was an OS thing, not part of the button function. Eg: The restart reactor button shuts down reactor (or the container) and the OS is then responsible for automatically restarting MSR using whatever specific method is supported.
Anyway, coming from Reactor on Vera I'm very happy with MSR so far and this was just a suggestion.
-
Restart Reactor option not working on QNAP dockerAh, now that I know the button is just shutting down MSR and not trying to actually restart it that explains what's happening. I haven't had much luck with the auto start even though it's turned on so I just do a manual restart when needed. Thanks for suggesting some links, but don't worry about looking into it any further. I'm not worried about it, but it's good to have it documented here if anyone else comes across it in the future.
Might be handy to add something to the documentation about what the button actually does when you get to updating the Tools section.

Fibaro FGD212 and dimming (HomeAssistant)Thanks for the super quick resolution on this PR!

Restart Reactor option not working on QNAP dockerHi @toggledbits here is the thread to discuss the restart issue with MSR as discussed.
When I use the Tools > Restart Reactor button in the UI it shuts down reactor successfully but doesn't restart. It doesn't bother me as I can easily restart it manually via the docker UI, but thought it would be still worth posting it if anyone else has the same issue, or if you want to look into it.
I'm running MSR using the latest-generic-amd64 docker image on a QNAP NAS via the standard docker implementation (container station).

Fibaro FGD212 and dimming (HomeAssistant)Thanks. TIcket has been logged in Mantis.

Fibaro FGD212 and dimming (HomeAssistant)Hi @toggledbits, do you have any thoughts on this? I was going to have a look at the mapping myself to see if it's just additional capabilities that need to be updated, but I wanted to check with you first. I'm running MSR as a docker container so if that's what needs to be done are the devices and capabilities YAML files within the docker image, or the configuration volume? I see in the documentation you mention that we can create our own mappings and capabilities by creating configuration files in the local subdirectory of the Reactor installation. Is that within the config volume, or do they need to be within the container? If that's what's required I was hoping to have a look at the system config ones to check the formatting required.
-
Fibaro FGD212 and dimming (HomeAssistant)Hi, has anyone got a Fibaro FGD212 dimmer working with Home Assistant and MSR? I have moved one of these devices from my Vera controller to my Home assistant controller and MSR isn't displaying any of the dimming capability. When it was on the Vera it showed the dimming capability in MSR and all the associated actions, but now it's on the Home assistant controller I can't see those in MSR.
In Home assistant I can see and use the dimming OK, so I'm wondering does MSR just need to have the mapping/capability added to the HASS configuration, or is there something more that needs to be done?
-
MSR in Alpine Docker@parkerc thanks. I'm trying to avoid doing anything by command line if I can, but if you do end up creating a guide I'll see how I go with it. In the meantime I'll have a bit of a play around with Container station to see if I can get the syntax right for creating it myself via the GUI.
-
MSR in Alpine DockerI'm just starting to look at ways to migrate away from Vera and just started working on a Home Assistant setup so I'd also love to have a go at testing this out in Docker on a QNAP but I don't really want to have to SSH into the NAS to do the docker compose, etc. I have only ever used the docker hub to add docker images but it looks like it's possible to use the QNAP container station to create a docker image locally but the steps you posted a few days ago in the thread don't seem to be in the format that the GUI needs, or I'm doing something wrong. If there aren't any QNAP gurus around I'll wait for something to come up.
