Night and day difference for me. I think I was getting a lot of interference in my media closet. Devices were very slow to respond and sometimes not at all. Switched to UZB and used a USB extender to place it a good 5 ft from the location of my pi. Now things are fast and reliable.
I need a handful of victims volunteers to help test previews of the next build of Reactor. A long-standing request was for "a simple login mechanism," but in practice, adding user authentication and competent access control turned out to be a pretty big project with a lot of big changes on both server and client sides. It's a bit more than I'm comfortable testing myself and springing out to everyone at once, so I'd like to work with a small group to put it through "sea trials."
Major changes/features include:
User authentication with hashed password storage; User group configuration with application restriction (admin, dashboard, API); Detailed control over API access, with user- and token-based authentication/authorization; Improvements to the HTTPS service; Improvements to UI coordination with the core for Rules and Reactions.If this sounds like something you'd like to help with, drop me a reply here in this thread or privately.
Good morning,
So Home Assistant decided to change the default weather home format that I've been using for the past year and a half. I had two Global Expressions set up to pull the high and low temp forecast for the day. Now it's pulling null values.
094c9205-cc9e-4fcc-ac4f-1bf54acea299-image.png
In the dev tools, it now uses a new service (Weather. get forecasts), plural, where the old Weather.get forecast is depreciated and now longer functions.
8c7a1fcc-dd3f-4268-a0b7-29d542f86adc-image.png
It shows a templow field, and a temperature field, which I presume is the forecast high.
When I head back over to MSR, I'm having a hard time finding those values in the Entities tab.

MSR: latest-24057-e9add9f5
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.@DesT I think I mentioned this some time ago, but Chat in this software seems broken. I normally use Brave browser, but it's same for Chrome. Haven't tried others.
Someone is trying to contact me via chat. I can see that here:
4a8a5332-2f25-476b-a9c9-decffb6a9c01-image.png
When I click on that message, or any message in this list, the header and navigation left/right of the side go away, and I get a page that looks like this:
f69b117b-8ac9-446b-8487-6d586b24ea29-image.png
It has no messages in it, not even the message that I can see the preview for in the previous image. Nothing I do from here seems to bring up any conversations. The user who messaged me isn't listed on the left. And if I click on any of the messages in the list on the left, nothing major happens: the tab title changes and the message in the left list I click on is highlighted gray, but no conversation is displayed and the middle of page stays blank except for the input area, it doesn't even display the full text of the message I clicked on. Since there's no navigation on the page, the only way I can leave this page is to use the back button or re-enter the URL in the location bar to start over.
Maybe I'm committing some kind of ID 10T error, but it's not obvious to me what it is. Just seems... not working.
Hey Patrick, I recently have been noticing that MSR has been acting up ie. it's been needing restarts and has been slow. I began trouble shooting by looking at the logs and have noticed the following errors for a lot of entities. I thought maybe a simple reboot of RPi was needed and I kept seeing the same errors in the system logs. I am oddly enough not seeing these same errors in the MSR logs. Where things started getting weird is whenever I rebooted MSR it wouldn't come back online .I would have to restart the RPi then it would come back online. I just restarted MSR again to capture logs and it restarted fine, so I guess its good for now? I think this is more or so a corrupted SD card issue rather a MSR issue but well being troubleshooting from here. The SD card is about 1-2 years old.
Apologies if this post is everywhere, I cannot consistently recreate any oddities that are happening, that's what is leading me to believe my SD is going bad.
PS: If anyone knows how to diagnose a corrupt SD card please chime in.

Feedback / solutions with openLuup's built-in Shelly bridge.
Been using zigbee2mqtt and openLuup for sometime now and it is working well.
I attempted to add another Hue switch to-day. It's a newer version of the other ones I have been using so far. They are pretty much identical.
The older ones installed no problem (which is weird), but the new one won't. Looking at the code, it looks this function in L_Zigbee2MQTTBridge.lua:
configure_scene_controller(dno)is not being passed the parameter "dno" when the function is called. The device is created but is incomplete.
Just out of interest how do you pretty print to the log from within say L_Zigbee2MQTTBridge.lua? I tried a few incarnations such a:
local pretty = openLuup.loader.shared_environment.prettybut they all failed.
A list of openLuup releases including the latest developments…
master – stable, and infrequently updated, development – latest updates and bug fixes, testing – use only when advised!A long while ago (May, 2015) I wrote my 2000-th post on another forum: openLuup - running unmodified plugins on any machine.
Now rehosted at https://community.ezlo.com/t/openluup-running-unmodified-plugins-on-any-machine/187412
Here’s the gist of it:
...I want to work in a more open and stable [Vera] environment...
...All would be solved if Luup was open source and could be run on the plethora of cheap and reliable hardware available today. But it’s not. But we could get something like that effect if we engineered a sufficient subset of Luup to run on such a platform. Could it be done? What would we need?
1. UI
2. scheduler
3. web server
4. Luup compatible API
5. Device and Implementation xml file reader
6. Zwave bridge to Vera
7. runs most plugins without modification
What we wouldn’t need is UPnP.
What have we (nearly) got already?
We have, courtesy of @amg0, the most excellent AltUI: Alternate UI to UI7, and that, I think, is probably the hardest one to do in the above list. Items 2 - 5, and 7, I’ve prototyped, in pure Lua, and posted elsewhere: DataYours on Raspberry Pi, running selected plugins unmodified, including: DataYours, EventWatcher, Netatmo, RBLuaTest, altUI. See screenshot attached.Is it worth the effort? Probably not. Will I pursue this quest? Yes.
openLuup was the result.
This system has been running flawlessly year after year for the time changes twice a year literally since MSR came out so I was caught off-guard when this happened this morning.
Time in MSR browser is EST, time on RPi is local time (DST).

What am I missing here @toggledbits ?
Hello,
I had an iCOMEN boiler switch that worked for many years. And I used iCOMEN app on my phone to manage it. Short time ago app started to have an error message that it cannot connect to the server, and after some time the device also stopped working.
With their awesome new X10 switch!
dbe7408f-dc86-4932-bf71-f0528f5384c1-image.png
I'm hopping in my 1980s time machine to go see whether this is exactly what I think it is. 🙂
(Srsly, tho, I love(d) X10 and did everything humanly possible to keep that old equipment perking along with Vera, and almost succeeded.)
LibraP.S. Just got banned for the 9th time from Hubitat Forum, so had a little extra time to throw shade.
P.P.S. The boilerplate 5-star reviews for this brand-new product come from bots with names like Avery, Phoenix and Owen (two from Mateo!). Sheesh.
Hi,
For the standard capabilities MSR sends both a value record and a units record to InfluxDB. The latter I would like not to send as they are not really any use for me and it will reduce the number of records send to my InfluxDB.
Is there a quick way to do this with a filter_entities line like: *>units?
Or do I have to update all capabilities to read like this:
power_sensor:
attributes:
value: true
Cheers Rene
I'm trying to replicate this
wallbox_set_number.PNG
into a MQTT entity where I could set a number with a min and max value.
I can't find a standard capability that fits or any documentation on local MQTT capabilities and the only post on the forum mentioning local MQTT capabilities is this post, is it even possible in current release?
My trial and error work in local_mqtt_capabilities.yaml isn't much to show as it's just a copy of mqtt_capabilities.yaml with changed names and then I got stuck.
Any guidance, examples, documentation, future feature request or denial would be much appreciated, thanks!
Reactor 24057-e9add9f5 bare metal

Hoping you could tell us a bit about your experiences with ZWaveJS and MQTT.
Hi guys,
I've recently bought a new Govee outdoor permanent lights set, and I love it. WAF is pretty high, and the product is good quality. I hope to never run lights in the front of the house.
This new addition has found me searching for something to control these lights, locally. Govee has officials remote and LAN APIs and Home Assistant has it supported, but some undocumented stuff that's integrated into an Homebridge plugin that seems very promising. Without this plugin, my playlist is orchestrated via the cloud and that makes zero sense.
In the past I got some inspiration from plugins running on other platforms and Homebridge seems one of the most active. I could map its devices via HomeKit-local on HA, but I've decommissioned Homebridge years ago when we settled to Alexa (and I want to stay simple), so I had an idea: why get inspiration and rewrite things, when you could write an Homebridge adapter that could load any Homebridge plugin and run them natively under Reactor (MSR)?
I'm not sure if that's viable or made any sense, so I'm posting here to get feedback, encouragement and your thoughts. Anyone could be potentially interested in such a thing?
Hi- looking for a hint in where to start. My goal is to set a PIN code in a zwave kwikset lock triggered in a rule.
The device isn’t exposing methods to help. The x-hass.call-service looks promising, but what would the service name be?
Plan b would be send the zwave controller a config command- I don’t see any way to explicitly send a command through JS Zwave in my environment.
Running reactor bare metal. JS Zwave is running as an add on inside HASS OS.
Any tips are appreciated.
Originally I was using Futzle's UPnP event proxy plugin on Vera with the Sonos plugin. Worked very well.
On making the move to openLuup, one finds that the proxy can't be used because the proxy daemon start and stop, etc uses a script installed by the plugin that only works on openWRT, as used by Vera.
The Sonos plugin still works without the proxy but it reverts to polling. It becomes a bit on the sluggish side and sometimes doesn't function quite as intended.
I've modified the proxy plugin to install a script that runs as a systemd service. systemd can be found on a lot of contemporary Linux installs, including Raspberry Pis. To make use of; just install the plugin from the AltUI app store and restart the Luup engine a couple of times. The dashboard should indicate "Status: Proxy running".
Note that the service file expects "L_UPnPProxyDaemon.lua" to be located at the typical plugin files location:
/etc/cmh-ludl/After the plugin is installed, the service file should be found in:
/etc/systemd/system/as UPnPProxy.service.
If you use the Sonos plugin, you need to change the variable "UseProxy" to "1" and restart the LuupEngine. In the Sonos parent device, you should see: "Running x zones; proxy detected".
Updated doco here.
Hope it works - YMMV.
Hey crew, I'm trying to use MSR to control the RGB values of a Z-Wave bulb in Home Assistant.
Problem I'm running into - I would like to use 'rgb_color.set' to control this, but it doesn't work, instead it always passes the values '255,255,255' to HA no matter what values I enter within MSR.
More notes and examples below - I'm wondering if this is a formatting issue that I'm missing? Thanks for any help!
NOTES FROM TROUBLESHOOTING:
'rgb_color.set_rgb' works successfully, which seems strange. You'd think they would both be affected I've tried a couple different formats, like adding quotes, adding/removing spaces between the RGB values, nothing has fixed it.EXAMPLES:
When I use 'rgb_color.set_rgb', the values successfully carry over to Home Assistant:

0af0a4f8-50b9-4100-b1e8-52a0de4cbcbb-image.png
But when I use 'rgb_color.set', the values DO NOT successfully carry over to Home Assistant:

DETAILS:

Core 2024.2.5 Supervisor 2024.02.1 Operating System 12.0Some of you may know that I took at shot at building an alternate geofencing solution for Vera. The core of it was system agnostic, using the OwnTracks application and AWS lambdas to track devices and keep a central data, then disseminate that to the Vera via a websocket-based plugin. It worked with other apps as well, including Tasker and GPSLogger, but of the dozen people that were testing it, most used OwnTracks.
A lot was learned in the process, not the least of which is that the success of any such solution is highly dependent on the phone and its settings. Phone manufacturers love to set things up for the longest battery life, of course, but that's usually very anti-geofencing behavior. In the case of at least one brand, it was unusable and the settings could not be modified. It was also cost-prohibitive to maintain on Amazon, as AWS grabs a dime here and a dollar there and before you know it, it added $100/month to my AWS bill, which my wife deducted from my Scotch budget. Unacceptable.
But it's quite reasonable to use OwnTracks to a local endpoint, and I could pretty easily replicate the functionality as a local application, or maybe even as an additional endpoint built into MSR's API (still separate port and process, but in the package).
So the question really is... would you do it, or would you be too concerned about the security risks associated (e.g., dynamic DNS and NAT mapping in the firewall necessary for the phone to contact the service when not on LAN)?

I have been messing with this today. I do not currently run openluup through docker so this may not even be the best way to do this but it is what I did to get it up and running and with the ability to easily see and manipulate all openluup files within "File Station" on the synology.I created three folders on my synology:
/docker/openLuup/cmh-ludl
/docker/openLuup/logs
/docker/openLuup/backupsThen I created three volumes with a bind to the created folders
'openluup-env' bound to '/volume1/docker/openLuup/cmh-ludl'
'openluup-logs' bound to '/volume1/docker/openLuup/logs'
'openluup-backups' bound to '/volume1/docker/openLuup/backup'I used portianer but you can ssh into your synology and use the command line to create these volumes with the binds, see this
Then I created the container using portainer making sure to set the correct ports and volume mappings, which can also be done in the command line with
docker run -d \ -v openluup-env:/etc/cmh-ludl/ \ -v openluup-logs:/etc/cmh-ludl/logs/ \ -v openluup-backups:/etc/cmh-ludl/backup/ \ -p 3480:3480 vwout/openluup:alpine
Hope this helps.
Edit: The binds are not necessary, I only did it to make it easy to access the files. Without the bindings, the volumes are somewhat hidden on synology that is not easily accessible for example at '/volume1/@docker/volumes/openluup-env/_data'

@akbooer said in Delete all device in Room 101:
Yes, absolutely (although I kind of wonder how you reached that figure...!)
The openLuup plugin has an action EmptyRoom101 with the parameter named AreYouSure which requires the value yes (to save nasty accidents.)
Thanks. I see it. They are all old verabridge devices ( and some z-way devices that I had to repair) that are no longer needed as I am fully cloned to z-way and mostly vera free (still have two zigbee door sensors on vera).
-
Parameters of devices can be set through the api using this URL
YOURIP:8083/ZWaveAPI/Run/devices[DEVICE#].instances[0].Configuration.Set(PARAMETER,PARAMETER_VALUE,size=PARAMETER_SIZE)
Replace:
YOURIP with the IP of Z-way for example 192.168.1.2.
DEVICE# with the Z-way device # of the devices parameter you want to change
Parameter with the parameter # you want to change
VALUE with the Parameter value
PARAMETER_SIZE with the size of the parameter (should be 1, 2, or 4)An example to change device 51's parameter 3 to a value of 1 with a size of 1:
192.168.1.2:8083/ZWaveAPI/Run/devices[51].instances[0].Configuration.Set(3,1,size=1)
To run it in Luup code
local status, result = luup.inet.wget("192.168.1.2:8083/ZWaveAPI/Run/devices[51].instances[0].Configuration.Set(3,1,size=1)", 5)

@toggledbits said in MSR in Alpine Docker:
OK. Let's see how this does in your hands. I've installed and uninstalled 3-4 times and it seems OK. In the bug tracker, go to #58, in the notes you'll find a download link and draft installation instructions. You can use the "monitor" function to follow that PR (emails you when things are posted--might get chatty with a lot of people in there, though). Please use that PR for reporting install-related issues.
This loads up nicely. Running unconfigured right now. I will transfer over my configs later and test it out.

Another good release. Confirming that 0000078 and 0000077 are tested and working on my system.

@rafale77 said in Delete all device in Room 101:
Congrats on the move! Please report back on positive or negative effects.
Will do. Still working through things and figuring stuff out. So far, the experience has been mostly positive with a few minor hiccups. I also have some scripts I wrote that I plan to share that helped ease my transition.

Which synology NAS are you looking at? I have a DS920+ and run MQTT in a docker container. Works great and easy to set up. Some of the lower end ones may not support docker.

Spinning up a dedicated VM on my synology right now in anticipation of the first preview. Can't wait!

@perh said in Imperihome - missing devices:
While i wait for a replacement app for my local UI devices, i want to use imperihome as long as I can.. But i'm missing a lot of devices!
All Z-Way bridge devices, all security/smoke and motion sensors (local RFXtrx child devices)..
Found the "include vera bridge" in imperihome.lua, what else could cause this?
I had the same issue. Check that the attribute "disabled" is not set to '1' for the missing devices. See this thread
-
@akbooer said in Moving to Docker:
- but I can't access it at all or work out where the openLuup files go.
You are using the synology docker package to create and deploy your container, correct? At minimum, to get the container accessible, change the port settings to 3480(local):3480(container). Then you should be able access it at http://YourSynologyIP:3480/
-
@rafale77 It does allow you to subscribe.
You can subscribe to a topic by creating a child device :
Add a new device and choose a type (e.g. "D_BinaryLight1.xml" or "D_TemperatureSensor1.xml").
Reload LUUP engine.
Change the attribut "id_parent" with the id of the MQTT plugin device.
Reload LUUP engine and refresh your browser.
You should see variables "mqttTarget" and "mqttTopic" in your newly created device.
Set the topic you want to subcribe to and the target (format: service,variable=(formula in LUA)).
Reload LUUP engine.
If the payload of the received message is in JSON, the plugin will try to decode it and put it in the variable "payload" in the context of the LUA formula. -

@akbooer said in Moving to Docker:
I understand that to make any changes last across container/NAS restarts, I need to make the volumes external to the container, as per the above yaml. So this is my next step.
Any further insights welcomed. Perhaps Portainer is that next step?
You cannot create named volumes through the synology GUI. You will need to use portainer or you can ssh into your synology and run the manual commands as outlined by vwout/openluup
You can also do this manually. Start by creating docker volumes:
docker volume create openluup-env
docker volume create openluup-logs
docker volume create openluup-backupsCreate an openLuup container, e.g. based on Alpine linux and mount the created (still empty) volumes:
docker run -d
-v openluup-env:/etc/cmh-ludl/
-v openluup-logs:/etc/cmh-ludl/logs/
-v openluup-backups:/etc/cmh-ludl/backup/
-p 3480:3480

@cw-kid said in Sunset with offset didn't run:
Also I have seen this saving problem on more than just one rule.
I've seen in on a few rules when either adding items like additional triggers or removing items.
Then you cannot click either of the two save buttons.
Only the red exit w/o saving button works.
I have been able to possibly reproduce your saving issue. I have noticed with rules that have a Date/Time After Trigger cannot be modified and saved.
-
I think I had this same issue. If you copy the files in cmh-ludl from an existing openluup install into ' /OpenLuup/openluup-env' it should start right up.

Just an update, I copied over config and storage directories to the mounted docker volume and Reactor would not start until I also created a 'logs' directory in the mounted docker volume. All looked well after that but going to continue to run it on my Debian VM for now.
-
There is a post from me above in this thread (sorry don't know how to link specific post) that explains how I got it to work. Have you tried that? I think the issue is synology gui does not support the correct type of volumes and you have to ssh into synology and run the correct docker command to set it up.
-
That actually makes perfect sense and upon further inspection I see that the timers I was noticing in the logs are with respect to one rule that I had recently turned on that resets often.
