Reactor Version 25310 : Office Light control via rule in reactor no longer working since last update.
P
Hello, I currently have an office light (connected via a Leviton Zwave Dimmer switch) controlled from a Gen5 Aeotech Zwave switch installed on my Synology 720+ NAS. I run HA(2025.11.10) in a virtual machine from my NAS and Reactor on the container manager of the same NAS. Prior to updating to 25304 the rule I had set to turn the light on to a specific dimming value worked correctly. Now the rule appears to follow the decision tree, however the reaction does not trigger setting the dimming or turning on the office light? Strangely I can still turn the light on and off as well as dim it directly from HASS..? I have tried using the ''try this action'' button in the rules reaction setting and it will not control the light and does not throw an error flagÉ Please help, P.S Reactor has been rock steady for me over the last few years and I'm a big fan of this solution.

Shelly Wall Display XL
therealdbT
I don't know if you guys are into dashboards, but I am. For a second home I tried the Shelly Wall Display 2, and while not so big, it worked well over the summer. Since we're remodeling our house, I just swapped my old Fire Tablet (with its own problems) with two new Shelly Wall Display XL. I just removed the standard firmware, and I added mine (https://github.com/dbochicchio/ShellyElevate), forked from https://github.com/RapierXbox/ShellyElevate I just managed to support buttons (this thing has 4 of them) and it's all auto-discovered by Home Assistant and accessible via Reactor. I also have a new build in the works with support for buttons inside HA. I added a bonus Javascript interface sending events (screen/screensaver status, buttons, motion) to automatically drive the dashboard (all doing in HTML+Javascript and monitoring Reactor's variable). This specifical thing excluded, go get one of them, the device has a decent CPU for HA dashboards and blends wonderfully in the decor.

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.

Caution: zwave-js-ui docker 11.4.0 is broken
toggledbitsT
About 20 hours ago, the author of zwave-js-ui posted build 11.4.0 of that product, and it contains an error and won't start (at all) under docker. The author is aware and working on a fix. In the meanwhile, stick with 11.3.1 or earlier. Ref: Issue 4401

Handling Dead Entities and Renamed Entities
PablaP
Hello all.. been a minute! I recently rebuilt my Z wave network and migrated to a new z wave stick. In order to prevent any downtime I kept my original z wave network up and ran a docker version of Z Wave JS UI with my new controller. This way I could add device by device without having any devices down. I finally moved all the devices over to my new stick today. The final step was to migrate everything from my Docker instance of Z Wave JS UI to the HA add-on of Z Wave JS UI. However during this migration some of the names didn't populate correctly which I later managed to import back into Z Wave JS UI. The issue was in Reactor it is stuck on the default names and the entities are not updating. I removed the controller from Reactor, restarted, hard refreshed, and added the controller back however the new entity names have not updated. Also it seems like the old entities from my previous instance of Z Wave JS UI are lingering and not being marked as dead (I believe a certain amount of time needs to lapse before they're marked as dead in Reactor). My goal is to basically purge all the entities for the 'ZWaveJS' controller in Reactor so it can pull all the updated entity names and only the entities that exist in Z Wave JS UI. I cannot find a quick way to do this, I know entities can be deleted one by one, but with over 100 entities this would take long I am guessing that if I added the controller with a new name in in the Reactor config it would pull the updated entities and names but I think that would break my rules since the entity IDs would change (I made sure to name all the entities the exact same as they were previously to prevent this issue).

[MSR] reactor-mqtt-contrib package for additional MQTT templates
therealdbT
I'm slowly migrating all my stuff to MQTT under MSR, so I have a central place to integrate everything (and, in a not-so-distant future, to remove virtual devices from my Vera and leave it running zwave only). Anyway, here's my reactor-mqtt-contrib package: https://github.com/dbochicchio/reactor-mqtt-contrib Simply download yaml files (everything or just the ones you need) and you're good to go. I have mapped my most useful devices, but I'll add others soon. Feel free to ask for specific templates, since I've worked a lot in the last weeks to understand and operate them. The templates are supporting both init and query, so you have always up-to-date devices at startup, and the ability to poll them. Online status is supported as well, so you can get disconnected devices with a simple expression. Many-many thanks to @toggledbits for its dedication, support, and patience with me and my requests

[Reactor] Copy&Paste of Rules
therealdbT
I don't know if I'm the only one, but managing more than one Reactor installs, the need to have some sort of copy&paste for rules has grown on me. While I understand the technical challenges, I'm wondering if a "god mode" where I could copy the raw JSON rule and paste it into another rule could be an advanced, flag only feature that could benefit power users. I know I can copy the JSON file and proceed, but I must stop Reactor and when doing maintenance, it's more clicks to do. Just an idea

[Reactor] Help with scene controller cycling logic
therealdbT
I’ve added a couple of Shelly Wave i4 as scene controllers and I’m planning to add more, since I can just use standard buttons instead of battery-powered scene controllers, which also looks better aesthetically. That said, I’m struggling to figure out how to write a simple rule that cycles between states every time I press a button. Example: Light 1 ON → OFF, then Light 2 ON → OFF. The part I can’t get right is handling the case where Light 1 or Light 2 might already be ON independently of the rule. Maybe it’s just too much sun and relaxation clouding my brain, but any hint would be appreciated.

Stop the MSR by an external switch on Hubitat.
wmarcolinW
Use case: When performing home maintenance, such as air conditioning, I want all rules involving air conditioning to be disabled. To do this, to day, I have a virtual switch that I placed within all rules involving air conditioning, meaning that if I turn it off, none of them work. Then another situation: the water pump system and garden irrigation, another switch. In short, I had to create several virtual switches in Hubitat to disable rules in MSR. Unfortunately, however, I was unable to cover all scenarios, so I wondered if it would be possible for MSR to support a virtual MSR switch, which, when configured in the reactor settings, would function as a general on/off switch for MSR. If it is configured and turned off, the entire rules and actions in MSR stops working, except for the status change reading process, specifically for this switch, which, when turned on, would restart the MSR. Would it be possible to do something like this? Any recommendations from the experts?
Multi-System Reactor
Expose MSR entities
CatmanV2C
Probably a really dumb question. Currently I am using the owntracks_sensor for tracking phones being in region in MSR and it works great. Digging around with Home Assistant and toying with some dashboards, is there any way of exposing that sensor to HA trivially? I could set MSR to trip a virtual switch in OpenLuup which can then be exposed to HA (with all my other Vera devices) but that feels a bit in-elegant if I can do it directly. Any thoughts? Apologies if the ask is not clear/ TIA C

  • Help. Installing Reactor on Home Assistant.
    I iRobot

    When portainer is installed on HassOS, this is considered as a not supported HA install. This could give some trouble updating in the future.

    Since you are using proxmox, I would make 2 virtual machines.

    One to install HA using the HassOS script you have. And the other to install docker and portainer on which you can install MSR as explained by toggledbits.

    This way you can also use docker for all other sort of projects which are not related to HA without interfering with it.

  • Would you use a self-hosted geofencing solution?
    I iRobot

    At the moment I'm one of the lucky few where Vera geofencing works most of the time. In fact, that's the only function I'm using actively with my plus.

    I most certainly would by interested in a local geofencing solution. I probably will be using a VPN or maybe setup a separate internal network or vlan with NAT for it.

    Was planning on trying tasker or owntracks, but that's still in the idea fase in my head. 😁

    Always good to know a new UZB is coming.
    Thanks for the information.

    Hopefully this will also solve the debacle of bad stick production batches which makes firmware updating a nightmare.

    Other than that, to me it looks like we will have to wait for nodes which use the same LR chip to be able to fully benefit it's potential.

  • Sudden offset in temperature reading
    I iRobot

    If it's suppose to be around 65F° then it it could be a notation error. Mixing up decimal points and decimal comma

    US notation 65.5 would result in 655 when the notation is not set to imperial. E.g. EU notation is 65,5.

    Still doesn't explain why it changes all of the sudden though.

  • OpenLuup IP Address
    I iRobot

    That is very strange, but has nothing to do with openLuup as far as I know. I think you must look for what is causing this in your Debian or network.

    Looks like you have something in your network that is redirecting your local network through the internet since 217.3.79.1 is not a private but public ip-address

  • Help with Z-Way plugin
    I iRobot

    I'm expecting the experts will chime in soon.
    But to get you started, I will try to help with what I know.

    You need to "link" the Z-Way plugin to your Z-Way "server". Because both of them run on the same RPi you only need to enter the credentials you use to login to your Z-Way. This should be the message you see on the plugin in openLuup.

    Entering the credentials can be done in the plugin under actions. Enter your username and password and click on the login button.

    Hope this helps.

    Basically I did what was follow the instructions from last night and this morning.

    • Deleting the ZWay plugin and all of it's children.
    • Deleting the /etc/cmh-ludl/cgi/zway_cgi.lua and /etc/cmh-ludl/L_ZWay.lua and L_ZWay2.lua files.
    • Reloading the Luup engine (this I probably forgot to do last night)
    • Setting ownership on folder /cmh-ludl/cgi and all it's children to my username instead of root (not sure this is necessary)
    • Installed the plugin from AltAppStore
    • Downloaded the ZWay_cgi.lua from github and placed is in /etc/cmh-ludl/cgi
    • Reloading the Luup engine
    • Configured the IP and logon information of my ZWay

    Deleted the ZWay plugin and removed the CGI and L_ZWay files, checked all child devices are deleted also and checked room 101.

    After installing the ZWay plugin the CGI file is missing in /etc/cmh-ludl/cgi.
    I retried several times using the appstore from both ALTUI and openLuup console.
    To make sure its not some linux or user rights problem I even set /etc/cmh-ludl to 777.
