MSR with reverse proxy
tunnusT
I'm trying to use MSR via reserve proxy in Synology DSM, but MSR page does not load https://<public ip>:30000/reactor/en-US/ At the same time logging page loads normally https://<public ip>:30000/api/v1/log I thought maybe authentication was messing it up, but there was no deny entries in the log, and also disabling authentication did not make any difference. For this use case VPN is not an option (that works, but as said not an option for this particular use case). Any ideas what could cause this? MSR build latest-26242-28d69aa8, Chrome browser

Reactor (Multi-System/Multi-Hub) Announcements
toggledbitsT
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.

Use of Google Gemini as an MSR and Hubitat configuration aid
R
I may be late to the AI party on this, but I recently ran into difficulty installing and configuring the Nexia Thermostat Manager on my Hubitat C8 Pro. Hoping for some immediate help I performed a Google search on my problem. I was a bit surprised to see Gemini jump into assist. Gemini walked me through the steps to clean up the failed install, followed by a script for successful installation and configuration. I would not have expected Gemini to "know" this much about Hubitat. Next I sought assistance MSR with the Entity Actions needed to set up the desired controls. I was unclear which of the attribute fields I should to set the cooling an heating temperatures. Once again, Gemini came back not with just a link to a possible explanation, but an easy to follow explanation instead. Once again, I did not expect Gemini to provide such detailed assistance with MSR. Gemini will be a key tool in my HA toolkit in the future.

[MSR] Native fan capabilty
therealdbT
Nothing more to add. I see we have hvac_blower, but, anyway, maybe a native fan on the same assumptions of the fan from HASS could be reasonable. I have a couple of them. ie, this is from ESPHome via HASS. x_hass.domain="fan" x_hass.entity_id="fan.kitchen_seashell_hood_ventilation_fan" x_hass.floor_id=null x_hass.services=["fan","esphome"] x_hass.source="esphome" x_hass.state="off" x_hass_attr.friendly_name="Seashell Hood Ventilation Fan" x_hass_attr.percentage=50 x_hass_attr.percentage_step=25 x_hass_attr.preset_mode="" x_hass_attr.preset_modes=[] x_hass_attr.supported_features=49 Thanks.

[MSR] Rule do not fire

Multi-System Reactor
Rule condition shows TRUE in UI but Rule never transitions to SET — survives full restart
N
Build: latest-26221-b25bb3e3, Docker on Synology. Hi, I have a Rule whose Trigger/Constraints reference other Rules via Rule State ... is TRUE. At some point it stops firing. Expanding the rule's condition tree in the UI shows every Trigger and Constraint condition green/TRUE — confirmed live by walking into the room and watching Motion go true in real time. Rule History shows no new SET, just old reset entries. Tried, on the same rule, same evening: recreating the trigger conditions with fresh IDs, recreating the constraint conditions with fresh IDs (flat and wrapped in a new Group — wrapping in a Group produced one SET, but it didn't reproduce on repeat attempts with the same structure), and finally a full container restart with a verified-correct saved rule. Still no SET, even with a fresh live motion event right after the restart. Separately, I found that this rule (and its 10 per-room clones) share identical internal condition/group IDs with each other — leftover from a batch clone done months ago, never regenerated. Not sure if that's related, since fixing the IDs didn't reliably fix the symptom either. Has anyone seen a Rule State condition show TRUE in the UI without the Rule ever producing a SET, surviving a clean restart? Thanks in advance

DynamicGroupController and attributes
therealdbT
Hey @toggledbits I'm back to trying to optimize a couple of things based on dynamic group. First of all, I think I found a typo in the doc: primary_attribute: "binary_sensor.state" primary_attribute_value: | d = false; each id in members: d = getEntity(id)?.attributes?.power_switch?.state or d, d I think the correct code snippet is d = false, All that said, my use case for dynamic groups is to group 3 different climate devices, so I could easily command them at the same time. Commands are good, but sometimes I want to check if any of the devices are on, and that's easily done with a similar snippet as the one you have in the docs. But this is limited to the primary attribute, while I want to have any of the attributes in the group to be driven by a similar logic (while all are null in the group). ie, access hvac_control.mode and see if any of the unit is set to cool, or heat. Is that possible, without re-defining an expression in each of my rules? Thanks!

Unofficial thread for compatibility
tunnusT
As there are statements about compatibility for home assistant versions in MSR new version announcements (e.g. "HassController: Bless Hass to 2025.7.3"), I thought it would be good idea to track other controllers as well. As an example, I can confirm that build "latest-25208-c53e8513" works with Hubitat Elevation C-8 platform version 2.4.2.134 using Maker API. Updates: (the latest versions first in the list) OK: build "latest-25264-2fbe9217" with Hubitat C-8 platform v. 2.4.3.123

Ooops - Deleted Reactor Ex Machina II

I accidentally deleted Reactor Ex Machina II (REM II) from my Reactor rules. I tried to recover it by deleting the .json and .dval in the Rules subdirectory and then recreating it from Togglebits original posting, but that did not work. Does anyone know how to recover REM ll ?

[Solved] DynamicGroupController updating members issue
CrilleC
Edit: Solved in latest-26221. Bare-metal latest-26193 I have this group: "OKforLarm": name: OK för Larm select: - include_controller: vera - include_capability: door_sensor filter_expression: entity.attributes.door_sensor.state It contains the entities I expect but behaves a bit odd. When I open vera>device_10097 the entity attribute door_sensor.state changes to true but it won't show up as member in the group, when I also open vera>device_10095 they both shows as members and when I close vera>device_10095 it disappear from the group but when I close vera>device_10097 it lingers in the group until I restart Reactor.

openLuup console disappeared - 500 - Internal Server Error
A
Love openLuup - it just keeps working perfectly. I started looking at trying to add a gen4 Shelly device to the Shelly plugin via L_ShellyBridge.lua. The plugin is a little uncooked (no rudeness intended), so a bit of a rabbit hole for me. All of a sudden no console pages available in either Firefox or Chrome. AltUI works perfectly and all the log files indicate no errors. openLuup still running everything works as it should - just no console pages. I possibly screwed something up but any recently changes files show no problems. The original/ backup of L_ShellyBridge.lua was reinstated but still no console. Bit stumped on this one. Not sure how to debug. Any ideas?

  • MIOS - UI5 web login
    D dcmChrissy

    After a long (8+ months) period of non-access, I am again able to login remotely through mios. Believed (unconfirmed) the issue was a redirection to fwd4 vs. fwd3 which was my previous default. I can currently successfully test by:

    1. Browsing to https://status.getvera.com/
    2. Under Portal (Legacy - UI5) clicking the "Login & User Accounts" link redirects to my Vera 3 (UI5)
    Keep in mind that this did NOT work for the longest time. I tried a few Tech Support tickets via the Vera and also a plea on their forum. For the heck of it, I tried to access via status.getvera.com and one day I was surprised that it works again (but now using fwd4)

    Also, the less secure link via ALTUI of:
    https://fwd4.mios.com/USER/PASSWORD/ACCESSPOINT/data_request?id=lr_ALTUI_Handler&command=home#

    . . . works again.

  • (Tip) Pushover and Original Reactor using openLuup / ALTUI
    D dcmChrissy

    UPDATE: With @toggledbits update for "R4V" below, your new notification sounds will work just by typing your custom soundfile name into the Sound: field of the Notify Action. Editing the J_ReactorSensor_UI7.js is not an undertaking for the simple user 😲

    Please ignore the entire "Tip" below, it ended up hosing my Reactor interface and I had to re-install the Reactor "stable" version to get back up and running. I'll leave it posted for a bit in case someone knows WHY it got hosed.
    Sorry,
    Chris

    Guessing this is the most appropriate area in which to post this . . .

    In case nobody has written this yet, I've been using Pushover for a while. First with VeraAlerts on Vera3/UI5, now with Reactor on openLuup/RPi3.

    Until recently, Pushover has constrained us by only allowing select notification sounds. Now pushover.net will allow you to upload custom sounds to their internal library.

    PushOver.PNG

    You may then add these sounds to Patrick's J_ReactorSensor_UI7.js file

    					values: [
    						"=(device default)", "none=(none/silent)", "vibrate=(vibrate only)", "pushover=Pushover",
    						"bike=Bike", "Bubbles=Bubbles (VA)", "bugle=Bugle", "cashregister=Cash Register", "classical=Classical", "Cloud=Cloud (VA)", "cosmic=Cosmic", "falling=Falling",
    						"gamelan=Gamelan", "incoming=Incoming", "intermission=Intermission", "iPhone_Ding=iPhone Ding (VA)", "magic=Magic", "mechanical=Mechanical",
    						"pianobar=Piano Bar", "siren=Siren", "spacealarm=Space Alarm", "tugboat=Tug Boat", "alien=Alien Alarm (long)",
    						"climb=Climb (long)", "persistent=Persistent (long)", "echo=Pushover Echo (long)", "updown=Up Down (long)"
    
    

    Not sure how the above code will format here, but I searched for "Pushover" in the .js file, found the section above, and sprinkled my 3 custom sounds alphabetically into the existing group (following existing formatting)

    After that, a browser refresh was all that was needed.

  • AltUI/Reactor issue?
    D dcmChrissy

    @mrfarmer
    May be related.
    Occasionally, (indeed happened on the latest ALTUI update), after updating ALTUI, a Reactor will lose the buttons at the bottom. The picture below attempts to illustrate.
    Reactor Devices.PNG

    At this point, I do not dig into the reactor UI to see any other oddness like (maybe) the screenshots posted above. Instead, when I see this, I'll reset ALTUI by . . .

    Reload & refresh the luup engine / browser, and Reactor is back to normal.

    @akbooer
    Great! Pretty simple, thank you for the instructions!

    Already had WSL enabled, although an older version.

    I downloaded & installed the Alpine WSL from the windows store.

    Starting the app presented the terminal window.

    Trying to install the packages . . .
    $ apk add [package name] gives a permission denied error

    error.PNG

    If I su and then install the packages from the # prompt, they install.

    Following the rest of the steps from a $ prompt work as you instructed, including manually adding the vera bridge and updating openLuup to your development branch.

    openLuup runs great, but GetVeraFiles always download zero byte png files in the /icons folder (ongoing problem for me on all of my recent openLuup installs) A "permissions" problem? Even though I never change any permissions unless instructed in your install instructions.

    Love the local access to the cmh-ludl tree!

    Just a follow-update . . .
    Installed the razberry package with no issues.
    API key carried over without having to re-enter.
    Did have to force interview which worked for 2 powered devices, but failed with a battery PIR (Monoprice)
    Excluded then Included the PIR & the interview process completed.

    Installed the openLuup Z-Way plugin (master), followed instructions.
    Bingo!
    Neat.

    A good practice exercise for me, but turns out to be possibly temporary.
    The mentioned mini-PC options in this thread are drawing me to a more reliable solution.
    @mrFarmer, thanks for the tip, if I stay on the Pi3, I'll definitely add the SSD drive.

    Thanks for the pointers!

    The RPi system running on a Micro SD is certainly NOT optimal as the card is bound to fail eventually.

    I've been practicing with various Debian builds (including a Raspbian image) running on several VirtualBox VMs to help me get more comfortable with Linux.

    Although I'm getting familiar with the Linux os CLI (and there's always google), I'm still too inexperienced with the networking part of it and need a LOT more learning / practice.

    My end goal is to have a 24/7 mini PC with Linux.

  • Move UZB from Windows 10 to RPi 3 (Buster)
    D dcmChrissy

    First Post . . .

    Good to "see" y'all here!

    Last week, I purchased the Z-Wave.me UZB1 dongle and also purchased the Z-Way license.

    Knowing in advance that the combination (Windows 10 and the Z-Way server) was lacking, I wanted to install anyway on a Windows 10 machine, and include a few spare z-wave devices to see how things worked. Pretty well, for the most part.

    @rafale77 had written that the UZB stick works well in the RPi compared to the RaZberry card (which I also purchased but is still in it's packaging), I would like to plug this UZB1 into my Pi running openLuup/ALTUI (then hopefully installing the Z-Way plugin)

    I'm not confident enough yet to plug the UZB into my Vera3 (UI5) and transfer my existing z-wave devices to the stick.

    Without creating a new Buster image downloaded from Z-Way, could I possibly . . .

    1. Plug the UZB1 into the Buster Pi3
    2. From the terminal, run,
    wget -q -O - razberry.z-wave.me/install | sudo bash
    

    then, if I can reach the :8083 port (as quoted by PoltoS) "go to Settings -> Apps -> Active -> ZWave and change /dev/ttyAMA0 to /dev/ttyACM0"

    and expect that my UZB1 will now run on the Pi ?

    If it is mostly that simple, would my license transfer?

    Should I exclude the (3) z-wave devices I had running on the Windows 10 Z-Way server first?

    If I'm oversimplifying, tell me to "shut up" and read some more! 😕

    Thanks again,

    DCMChrissy
