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
R
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 ?

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!

[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?

[MSR] Copy&past of actions and/or drag&drop between set/reset
therealdbT
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!

Upgrade advice - upgrade from aarch64 to ARM64 image
T
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.

Ezlo Paid Subscription for Vera Cloud Services
toggledbitsT
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.

  • Fibaro TRV on ZWay/OpenLuup?
    I Intveltr

    @rafale77 I have tried before to change the device type manually and that didn't work for some reason. But after loading your new lua file and recreating the devices, this now works correctly, from the mobile app to Openluup to ZWay to the thermostat, and all the way back. The operating mode (off / heat) is also transmitted correctly.

    Thanks!

  • Fibaro TRV on ZWay/OpenLuup?
    I Intveltr

    I've no idea what those unsupported ones are. ZWay has a bunch of Fibaro Power Management Alarm and Fibaro System Alarm devices but I've no idea what they do.

    I tried setting 49-0 and 49-1 to Heater1 and ZoneThermostat1 devices, but neither fully work. I can set the setpoint through them but they don't show the current setpoint, that only happens if I create a separate child device for 49-1-67-1 (and that child only displays the setpoint; it won't allow changing it).

    By the way, yes, there are 2 very similar looking devices. This is mirrored in ZWay which has 2 devices to control the setpoint. Both will transmit new values to the TRV, but only one of them (49-1) will update the setpoint if I turn the radiator knob. It seems 49-0 is something of a dummy. Fibaro is known for bizarre ZWave implementations, which is also reflected in ZWay. Vera however will display this thing correctly (as a single Heater1 device). Personally, I can live with having the current temperature in a separate device though.

  • Ideas of project...
    I Intveltr

    These are great not just for sensors, but also to ZWave-ify existing equipment in cases where a simple dry relay ZWave switch won't cut it. I had a few motorized transom windows with IR remotes, that can also be controlled through some weird industrial serial protocol. I build controllers for them using ZUNO boards, so I can now control the windows through OpenLuup.

  • Fibaro TRV on ZWay/OpenLuup?
    I Intveltr

    Update:

    If I change Device 49-1 in the above list to a Heater1 device, it will not show the correct current setpoint, but when I change the setpoint on device 49-1, the thermostat will follow along.

    If I go into the ZWay bridge config and tick Parameter 67 on Device 49-1 (49-1-67-1), I get an extra device that does show the correct current setpoint. Changing it on that new device will not result in the thermostat changing accordingly, however.

    They offer:

    • On/Off control (In ZWay this is an On/Off button, in OpenLuup when using Vera it shows a single Heater1 device with Off/Heat operating modes)
    • Current temperature
    • Current Heating setpoint (read / write)

    I'm not sure how these map to the variables in the above list, and some seem to be duplicated. BTW, device 25031 is a child device that I turned on manually in the plugin, in order to see if it could be controlled that way.

  • HomeWave Push notifications plugin (Update)

    @perh So would I 🙂 I've made a major (and very expensive) effort a few years ago using Xamarin, but the Android part never worked very well, it took ages to start up and just parsing JSON files required whole seconds. I'm hoping to revisit this at some point since they have made huge improvements to Xamarin since then, but don't hold your breath; it's a huge effort.

  • Fibaro TRV on ZWay/OpenLuup?
    I Intveltr

    Having some trouble getting the Fibaro TRV device working with the ZWay bridge. The device works in the ZWay (Zwave.Me) Smart Home GUI, and creates a number of devices in OpenLuup, some of which appear to have the right variables in it. Changing the XML and JSON files makes no difference.

    I also tried creating a separate child device for Parameter 67 (using the gui for the ZWay bridge, see below), and setting the XML/JSON types for that device (like I've havd to do for a few other devices). This results in a device that correctly displays the TRV setpoint, but chaning the setpoint in the OpenLuup gui does not result in anything being transmitted to/by ZWay.

  • HomeWave Push notifications plugin (Update)
    I Intveltr

    All,

    Due to changes in the push notification system by Apple, the plugin to send push notifications to HomeWave will have to be updated. Please use the link below. This plugin works on both Vera and OpenLuup platforms.

    Push messages will continue to work with the old and the new plugin. Once the server and the HomeWave app are updated, the old plugin will stop working

  • TRVs and heating
    I Intveltr

    I didn't actually wire 3 Horstmann relays in parallel, it's one relay, plus 2 Fibaro dry contact relays (can't use a double unit, you can't associate the Horstman thermostat with the 2nd relay in the double unit). You can buy Horstman thermostats separately and save some cash that way. They associate just fine with regular switches (I have one associated with an additional switch for a floor heating pump)

    Hardware

  • TRVs and heating
    I Intveltr

    It's a bit of an issue. You can of course do this programatically if you have temperature sensors in all the rooms. But you'd have to drive the Horstmann relay programatically, which isn't ideal. The thermostat has some clever logic to drive your boiler in an optimal way (I think you can even set the boiler type in the Horstmann).

    What I did: I put thermostats in the rooms that I want to have good temperature control in (3 rooms). The relay units near the boiler are simply wired in parallel: this defeats the cleverness of the boiler control... but only when more than one thermostat demands heat while being near its setpoint. The TRVs in those rooms are programmatically slaved to the thermostat: every so often the home controller reads the setpoint and updates the TRVs.

    The TRVs in the other rooms are usually set to 14 degrees. At the moment I have them set so they go to 20 degrees when I turn the lights on in that room, and I close one of the boiler relays for 5 minutes to draw heat into the radiator. These are small rooms and this works well enough.

    By the way, I'm getting some serious savings by not heating the rooms that are not in use during the day.
