I finally got the time to dive deeper into my issue. I ended up creating scripts within HA, which I triggered from MSR. Tried to do everything with only MSR, but I couldn´t in the end. So for now, this was my solution - creating and triggering scripts.
Thanks as always for all help!!

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!
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.
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.
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?
Hey @toggledbits
One thing that bothers me while doing work on new systems/new features, is that I cannot copy&paste actions, and I cannot drag&drop between set and resets.
#1 is for when I want to copy an action between different rules opened in two separate browser windows, while #2 is when I just need to flip a bunch of actions in the reset, or move some logic back and forth.
Both will be appreciated, but I understand the technical challenges. Thanks!
I'm currently on version 26011. I understand that the aarch64 image is no longer supported. So, I therefore need to update to the ARM64 image. Can anyone possibly suggest how I update my docker compose.yaml file (see below). Ideally I'd like to keep my existing reactions etc. rather than start from scratch.
# Multi-System Reactor template docker-compose.yml (version 22160)
#
# Change the lines indicated by "DO"...
#
services:
reactor:
container_name: reactor
environment:
# DO change the TZ: line to set your local time zone.
# See valid TZ list: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_database_time_zones
TZ: GB
#
# DO NOT change this path. Your directory location is in "source" below.
REACTOR_DATA_PREFIX: /var/reactor
# DO change the image below to the one you are using (e.g. armv7l or aarch64 for RPi 4)
image: toggledbits/reactor:latest-aarch64
restart: "always"
expose:

It appears that Ezlo is going to new levels of paid subscription for cloud services supporting Vera hubs. I have to congratulate them. It will soon be 8 years since Ezlo acquired Vera, and despite their purported financial and "intellectual" capital, they have to date not produced a viable full replacement for Vera. Now they are going to charge extra for services for a platform that they stopped updating years ago.
If you know anyone who hasn't yet fully moved on from Captain Ahab's White Whale Chase, please remind them that my Decouple project is still up on Github to decouple a Vera Plus/Secure/Edge from Vera/Ezlo's cloud services. Veras have been said to misbehave when they can't reach the mother ship.
I have also written my first new Vera plugin in... six years? more?... the AlertPushover project will send Vera hub alerts to Pushover, so you can still get messages generated by your Vera hub without paying for Ezlo's cloud service. It's crude but functional (i.e. better than nothing/worth every penny paid).
These two projects won't replace the functionality of their cloud service and app for those who need those things. But any that don't, this may help bridge the gap. Hopefully these stragglers who have waited so long and been disappointed so often will get the idea that it's time to move on.

The reaction stopped working (Google Nest max playing a video)@toggledbits Thank you for the hard work!
I can´t get it to work just yet, but maybe it get easier after the next update.
Right now I only get the Runtime error: "[object Object]", no matter what I do. I´ll keep on trying.

The reaction stopped working (Google Nest max playing a video)Hi!
I've have had a mp4 (video) file playing on my Google Nest Max at specific times. A few weeks ago it stopped working. I´ve tried everything but the correct way...
I've changed the boxes above countless times. What is the correct info in each box?
I can do it within Home Assistant, but not in MSR.
My MSR installation is on version 25208-c53e8513, my HA is 2025.9.4.I´m grateful for any pointers and help.

Can´t restart or upgrade/deploy MSR@toggledbits said in Can´t restart or upgrade/deploy MSR:
Seems more like a Portainer problem to me. Was Portainer or HassOS upgraded recently?
Both of them... So after your post, I downgraded Portainer and now it works! Thanks @toggledbits !!

Can´t restart or upgrade/deploy MSR
I can´t upgrade MSR anymore. I run it in docker on my Home Assistant blue (odroid). I reach it in Portainer. I guess it have something to do with nodejs, after reading the docs here on the forum, but I´m not sure. I have never updated it, since I don´t even know where to start. I don´t know how to fix this. I´m not a programmer or likewise, so please explain as if your were speaking to a total newbie... 
I´m on MSR ver 25097-03b6faee.
Home Assistant 2025.5.3.Thanks,

System Configuration Check - time is offset@toggledbits I´m running the same setup as @gwp1 I think - running MSR in Portainer. I updated the PC:s time, and now it´s correct. Strange; In Chrome the host time is blank, but in Edge it´s visible.
Thanks guys! -
System Configuration Check - time is offsetHi!
I get this message when I'm on the status tab:
System Configuration Check
The time on this system and on the Reactor host are significantly different. This may be due to incorrect system configuration on either or both. Please check the configuration of both systems. The host reports 2025-04-01T15:29:29.252Z; browser reports 2025-04-01T15:29:40.528Z; difference 11.276 seconds.I have MSR installed as a docker on my Home Assistant Blue / Hardkernel ODROID-N2/N2+. MSR version is latest-25082-3c348de6.
HA versions are:
Core 2025.3.4
Supervisor 2025.03.4
Operating System 15.1I have restarted HA as well as MSR multiple times. This message didn´t show two weeks ago. Don´t know if it have anything to do with the latest MSR version.
Do anyone know what I can try?
Thanks in advance!

Delete many entities more efficient?@toggledbits Thanks! This is the solution I was looking for, since I'm not that patient...

Delete many entities more efficient?Thank you @tunnus !
I wasn't patient enough... -
Delete many entities more efficient?Hi!
I'm wondering if it's possible now, or if it's something that can be solved in a future version, to be able to remove the entities that no longer exist and are crossed out all at once. Currently, you have to mark them one by one, which takes a lot of time. Is there any way to make this more efficient?
I'm on MSR version 24212-3ce15e25.
Thanks!

Having an Echo device play mp3?Hi!
I tried to find an answer in both the forum and by myself, without any luck. I'm trying to make my Echo device play a mp3 file. The same mp3 file is easy to play with other smart speakers (Sonos, Google/Nest) - that it no problem. Same approch do not work with Echo devices. The mp3 files I want to use is located on my HA installation (config/www/audio), running on ver. 2023.5.4. I have MSR ver 23114.
Is there a way to do this easily?
Thanks!

Play music in random order with Sonos playlists/favorites?Hi!
I have MSR latest-23049-1fd87c91 and Home Assistant 2023.2.5.
Every friday and saturday evening I have an active reaction/automation; if any adult is home and someone is in the kitchen, music starts playing from Sonos. That works great. I have different playlists and artist radios for each friday and saturday per month (1:st, 2:nd, ...) Some evenings when I don't play an artist radio, but an ordinary playlist, the songs are always played in the same order. I would like to randomize and stir things up. Is it possible, if so, how, to make Sonos play the songs from a Sonos playlist in random order? I always play playlists that is characterized as my Sonos favorites.
Cheers!

Home Assistant add-on@mrw298 Thank you. It's now visible. Second problem... I'm running MSR under portainer in HA - so my MSR is on the same device (Home Assistant Blue) as HA. When I try to start your addon, after inserting the long lived access token, I get a error, because the port (8111) is already taken, by MSR:
Is this obsticle even possible to overcome?
Best regards,

Home Assistant add-onI followed the link and installed the repo, but it's not showing up in HA. All other custom repos are visible, but not this one. Do you know why?

Help. Installing Reactor on Home Assistant.@alminsk I use portainer succesfully and have the same volumes setting as you. I followed a guide from someone long time ago, and it's been a "do and forget" thing. I'm not a programmer, so I can't tell why somethings are as they are.
My network setting are different:
My setup is on a HA Blue (odroid n2+) and these values are also different:
Under Command & logging everything is the same except for the last line:
I hope this helps... As I wrote, I'm not the expert here, or know what every parameter means. Best of luck!

Setting Aeotec Siren 6 volume and duration not working@Snowman At least in HA the volume level is between 1-3.
Regarding the duration, there is a workaround; add a delay for 5 sec and then a reaction to stop the siren. -
