Well.... I tried again with "response.lastDayData.energy" and now it works ?? Really don't know what I did wrong, but now it works.
So problem solved.
Many thanks @akbooer
@toggledbits I understand that you do not perform testing on Mac computers but thought I'd share the following with you in case something can be done.
I started seeing these errors with version 24302. I thought that upgrading to 24343 would have fixed the issue but unfortunately not. I either have to close the browser or clear the cache for the errors to stop popping-up but they slowly come back.
I see these errors on the following browsers:

I've recently changed a couple of cams because better definition and I've found tha Reolink has a couple of cams that have spotlights. While the spotlights are driven by motion (so the cam could record in color), I wanted to drive them directly, so in case of any "security" event, like alarm on, door open, etc, I could use the lights to have a better video and make - you know - light.
So, if you want to use HTTP actions in VirtualController, just go to config, entities under your VirtualEntityController section in reactor.yaml, and add this:
- id: cams_retro_spotlights name: "Retro Cam - Spotlights" template: Binary Switch # update the status at interval http_request: interval: 900 # 15m url: "http://192.168.1.31/cgi-bin/api.cgi?user=foo&password=foo" method: "POST" force_json: true headers: "Content-Type": "application/json" "Accept": "application/json" body: '[{"cmd": "GetWhiteLed", "action": 0 , "param": { "channel": 0 }}]' capabilities: power_switch: attributes: state: expr: "isnull( response ) ? null : response[0]?.value?.WhiteLed?.state == 1" default: false actions: "on": http_request: url: "http://192.168.1.31/cgi-bin/api.cgi?user=foo&password=foo" method: "POST" force_json: true headers: "Content-Type": "application/json" "Accept": "application/json" body: '[{"cmd": "SetWhiteLed", "param": { "WhiteLed": {"bright" : 100, "channel": 0, "mode": 1, "state": 1}}}]' target: state expr: "isnull( response ) ? null: response[0]?.value?.rspCode == '200'" "off": http_request: url: "http://192.168.1.31/cgi-bin/api.cgi?user=foo&password=foo" method: "POST" force_json: true headers: "Content-Type": "application/json" "Accept": "application/json" body: '[{"cmd": "SetWhiteLed", "param": { "WhiteLed": {"bright" : 100, "channel": 0, "mode": 1, "state": 0}}}]' target: state expr: "isnull( response ) ? null : response[0]?.value?.rspCode == '200' ? false : null"Reolink has API where you have to post a JSON and the response will give you a JSON (in theory). It's not really JSON, so force_json: true will do the trick for you. I'm lefting this as an example of cool things you could do with the new capabilites added/documented in 24343. HTH.
Thanks to @toggledbits for adding a custom CSS. I've started doing a darker Reactor style.
Here's the file: https://gist.github.com/dbochicchio/825098ac13b7f8cac22012eae37ff7ce
A couple of things are still too bright and I'll eventually catch-up. Just place it under your /config directory, naming the file as customstyles.css. Hard refresh your browser.
Hi
Having to rebuild my Linux Debian box as the SSD failed. And I have forgotten exactly what I did the first time to get it all setup.
I have Debian 12 up and running on the new SSD, I only have console no Desktop GUI.
I am trying to do the bare metal install for MSR. However I am not sure if I am meant to install nodejs whlist logged in as the root user or as the none root user with my name ?
I used putty and connected via SSH and logged in as root and I installed nodejs but I think this was wrong as when logged in as my user name and I do a node -v command it says node is not installed or doesn't show any version number anyway.
But when logged in as root and I do a node -v command it does show me its installed and displays the version number. maybe its a path issue for my username and he can't see node is installed?
So now I am thinking I should of installed node whilst logged in as my user name and not as the root user.
This is how I installed nodejs as whilst logged in as root

Thanks in advance.
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.As the title says, here's my OpenAI Controller for Reactor:
OpenAI Controller per Reactor. Contribute to dbochicchio/reactor-openai development by creating an account on GitHub.
It supports both OpenAI and Azure OpenAI endpoints. You'll need keys/endpoints, according to each service.
The controller supports multiple models, and each one could be mapped as an entity.
It's quite easy to use, and responses can be stored in variables, for easy access. Or sent to another action (Text To Speech, another endpoint, etc).

Have fun with LLM into your scenes!
I've switched to a virtual entity with both power_switch and string_sensor capabilities to represent the current holiday.
The power switch is used to indicate if it's a public holiday (so, no school/work), while the string sensor is a string with the actual holiday (Easter, Christmas, Halloween, etc - we don't have thanksgiving), mostly to drive lights.
I build it with some static dates (mostly birthdays/anniversaries) and then the dynamics ones are taken from webcal.guru. My lights/scenes are linked to events this way and it's easier to manage it in the long run: just a bunch of group action in the reaction driving the lights. This part is outside Reactor for me (because, legacy), but it's not difficult to completly drive it off a virtual sensor or a custom controller.
I don't know how people are doing this, but I'm lefting a note for the ones looking for a working solution.
In Home Assistant I have an integration that if I add entities to it, I will get the following error in MSR as certain entity values I'm using in expressions are null for a moment. This is more or less cosmetic issue and happens very rarely as I rarely modify that integration on the hass side.
Screenshot 2024-11-28 at 22.20.41.png
And the expression is
Screenshot 2024-11-28 at 22.38.19.png
Could I "wrap" hass-entity shown above somewhat differently to prevent this error from happening? Using build 24302.
Hello
I am trying to set up Multi System Reactor to automate routines across multiple smart home devices & platforms (e.g., Home Assistant, SmartThings, and Hubitat). While I have successfully linked the systems; I am facing issues with:
-Delays in triggering actions on secondary devices.
-Inconsistent execution of complex logic conditions.
-Synchronization of states between devices when one system updates.
Is there a recommended way to optimize performance & confirm seamless state sharing across systems?
I have checked https://smarthome.community/category/22/multi-system-reactor-msbi guide for reference but still need advice.
Any tips on debugging or log analysis to pinpoint where the issue arises would also be appreciated.
Thank you !
Hello AK
Have been writing about the openLuup email server as I was tinkering with it the other day. One minor problem: it looks like the domain part of the email address eg ...@openLuup.local is case sensitive in openLuup.
Looking round the net, it suggests that the local part is case sensitive but the domain part is not meant to be. To keep things so they are more likely to work, it's suggested the email address should be totally case insensitive regardless. Refer to rfc2821 page 13 or search on the word "sensitive". Suffice to say I was using mail@openluup.local rather than mail@openLuup.local, so it didn't work for me.
Next challenge was that the file saved in /etc/cmh-ludl/mail has "Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64" so the body of the email was encoded:
Received: from ((openLuup.smtp) [ip_address_1] by (openLuup.smtp v18.4.12) [ip_address_2]; Tue, 26 Nov 2024 14:21:22 +1000 From: "dali@switchboard" <dali@switchboard> To: "mail@openLuup.local" <mail@openLuup.local> Subject: Warning form R2E. MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 QXV0byBXYXJuaW5nOiBDb2xkIHN0YXJ0IGV2ZW50The above base 64 text translates to "Auto Warning: Cold start event".
Is it your preference to leave the saved files in the raw mode or would you consider translating the base64 text in the openLuup code base?
On a side note, does the reception of an email by openLuup generate some sort of trigger that can be watched. In the case above; the email represents the restoration of power after a power outage. I would like to know about that by the email triggering a "Telegram" notification on my mobile.
I see that the images@openLuup.local images@openLuup.local can be associated with I_openLuupCamera1.xml, which spawns a movement detector child. Anything similar for the other email addresses?
I've managed to use MSR UI on iOS devices to some degree*, so that although UI elements (e.g. rule sets) are not visible in portrait mode, you've seen them in landscape. Now with recents builds (24302) this does not work anymore, elements (rule sets, entities) are not anymore visible in landscape mode.
Does anyone have similar experiences? Using iOS 18 and Safari/Chrome browser.
( *Drag & drop of rule conditions have never worked on a mobile)
@toggledbits Since I have upgraded ZWaveJSController to 24293 from 24257 I am seeing entries related to registering action set_volume, but action is not defined by the capability 143 every time I restart Reactor.
The Siren seems to be doing what it is supposed to do. The volume levels are fine. Should I worry about it?
Reactor version 24302
ZWaveJSController version 24293
Z-Wave JS UI version 9.27.4
zwave-js version 14.3.4
I have an oven that I need to manage the temperature of, keeping it in the neighborhood of 600° C (1100° F). I have not been able to find a Zigbee-enabled solution to measure temps that high. Does anyone know if such a thing exists? If not, any ideas for how to roll a custom solution that I could integrate into a Sonoff ihost controller? I have no trouble finding high temperature probes, but none of them interface with my automation stack.
Hi All
Hopefully this place looks like a helpful forum as I’m quite new to all this!
I’ve had a few devices all working separately /through their proprietary apps but we’re just finishing off a large house extension and this has added to the list.
I’d ideally like to be able to view/switch a number of different devices on one screen/head end but have no idea where to start.
The devices we have/will have shortly are as follows;
Zigbee Smart Sockets
Zigbee smart switches (for lights)
Heatmiser Neo Underfloor Heating (this runs from a Samsung ASHP but that part is automatic)
Samsung VRF air conditioning (currently using Smart Things App)
Hive (2xLTHW heating circuits in the existing house and Hot Water)
Ring (doorbell!)
Hik Vision PoE CCTV
We have lots of appliances (Neff N70) which we can control remotely but not too fussed about controlling those at the
Moment)
Any help/recommendations would be appreciated!
Thanks
Adrian
After a major hassle got z-way running on my ubuntu 16 VM with a USB pasthough UZB1 stick including license and connected to Vera...
I see:
I also see:
0d6e8c78-c8cd-4307-9474-23e0d6a55094-image.png
But how do I update that?
e09ffa19-a31d-4a03-8983-01228bc5478f-image.png
I have a legacy home automation set-up running on Windows XP. the computer and software have now died.
I have written a very nice Excel VBA program to replace the software and it can run on any modern Windows system.
My only remaining problem is to output the correct signal to a USB port to trigger the wireless switches.
Has anybody done a similar exercise. Please help.
The locksmith is trying to persuade me to purchase the BE-TECH K35 touchscreen lock with both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, claiming it's better than the Yale Assure Lock 2. What are your thoughts on this? Which one would you recommend?
Here is the link to the Chinese brand BE-TECH: BE-TECH Smart Deadbolt K3S.
The other smart lock I am considering is the Schlage Encode Plus.
Thank you!
Well.... I tried again with "response.lastDayData.energy" and now it works ?? Really don't know what I did wrong, but now it works.
So problem solved.
Many thanks @akbooer
Thanks!
So why does the 2nd option I have mentioned not work?
I still use Vera controllers in combination with ReactorSensors. I have several Reactor sensors in use to retrieve weather data from Wunderground (i have a personal weather station), my smartmeter etc.
Recently I installed solar panels with a SolarEdge inverter. SolarEdge has an API to retrieve my power production data from their cloud.
Output is in json.
So I created a new Reactor Sensor. Connection is working (query okay).
But I encounter problems at the Value Expressions. Either I get ""query okay" but no data or I get "query okay but 1 expressions failed"
This is the json output
{"overview":{"lastUpdateTime":"2023-05-12 10:45:57","lifeTimeData":{"energy":476310.0,"revenue":216.577},"lastYearData":{"energy":433001.0},"lastMonthData":{"energy":433001.0},"lastDayData":{"energy":8262.0},"currentPower":{"power":5647.0},"measuredBy":"INVERTER"}}
So it has different layers/levels.
I tried to put in the Value Expressions field several combinations to get the energy data of today (8262.0), like:
response.lastDayData.energy
response.overview.lastDayData.energy
response.overview.lastUpdateTime.lastDayData.energy
all fail...
Who can help me with this ?
@akbooer Does this update also work for Vera controllers without using openluup or Altui?
@toggledbits Okay clear, thanks for your quick reply!
What about SiteSensor and select response type Generic (text). How can I define a "response pattern to match" in the next field.
It's good to know it's possible within Reactor Sensor but it would be easier (I hope...) to solve it within SiteSensor.
@akbooer many thanks !
Good to know this is possible.
I doubt wether I can use this within SiteSensor.
But I think I can use this within the Reactor plugin with some adaptions in the Lua code. It would have to send the invididual sensor data to the virtual weathersensors like every 30 or 60 seconds.
Or use it within MSR when I would decide to migrate partially of completely from Vera to HA or Hubitat.
@toggledbits can I use this kind of script within SiteSensor ? Hope you can help me in the right direction.
This is on Vera.
xml output:
<logger>
<TH date="20221204143607" id="th0" temp="3.7" hum="84" dew="1.2" lowbat="1"/>
<WIND date="20221204143606" id="wind0" dir="22" gust="1.7" wind="1.7" chill="1.5" lowbat="0"/>
<THB date="20221204143541" id="thb0" temp="9.3" hum="59" dew="1.7" press="1016.0" seapress="1016.0" fc="0" lowbat="0"/>
</logger>
@toggledbits My PWS uploads data to Wunderground via a Meteobridge device. I just found out I can retrieve live data of my weatherstation via a http request to Meteobridge. So this is a way to to get my weatherdata in Vera via SiteSensor plugin. Without being dependent on external cloudservers like Wunderground.
The only issue is the output is not available in json, only in xml format or plain text. I see that you can select the response type Generic (text) but then you have to define a "response pattern to match" in the next field.
I went though the SiteSensor thread on the Vera forum and found lots of examples for json output but none for generic text output.
The output of the Meteobridge URL looks like:
20221204112238 th0 3.4 84 0.9 1
20221204112301 wind0 112 1.3 1.3 1.5 0
20221204112241 thb0 9.4 59 1.8 1017.0 1017.0 0 0
where first is time stamp, then device id and then all the data.
th0 = temp/hum sensor 3.4 is temp (Celsius) 84 is hum% 0.9 is dewpoint and 1 = lowbat
Can you help me in how to get for example temp and hum values; what should I put in the field "enter pattern to match"
@toggledbits Many thanks for your quick reply! Putting UseCurl on 1 made it working again!
So for now I'm saved.
Now I really have to start looking for another smarthome setup. I now have quite an extensive setup with 3 Vera controllers (Secure and Plus) with a lot of Reactor Sensors and Site Sensors etc. and also a Fibaro HC2 controller.
And I use the Home Remote app that works with both Vera and Fibaro.
I put a lot of hours in it to set this all up and adapt it to my wishes and I must say it works (almost) rocksolid past 2 years.
Have to spend quite some time first to look at all the alternatives coming months. For sure I will find useful information here on this forum (e.g. Home Assistant in combination with your MSR)
I use the excellent SiteSensor plugin of @toggledbits for some years to get the data from my PWS on Wunderground.
This has worked flawlessly but recently it suddenly stopped working.
I see this in my Vera:
When I copy/paste the URL code to be queried in my browser this still works.
This is the URL:
https://api.weather.com/v2/pws/observations/current?stationId=ILIMBURG130&format=json&units=m&numericPrecision=decimal&apiKey=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Patrick (or someone else on this forum) can you help me solve this ?
Many thanks in advance!
Any update? October is approaching..
I also use the Netatmo plugin, not on openLuup but still using Vera. I really hope you can and are willing to update the app.
@rafale77 thanks I will read that first
Ok thank you @therealdb and @rafale77 I have to dig in to how to set up an openVPN server. This is really new to me (meaning I'm not an expert ..).
I have a Unify Dreammachine router.
@therealdb: do you think Vera will release the 7.32 firmware coming weeks ? They have promised end last year it should be released already in January....
I seriously consider to decouple my Vera's from the Vera cloud services. In case they shut the servers down in the near future. You never know....
I have read the readme document on @toggledbits.
And have two questions.
First of all I will lose remote access (via their cloud service). This is a big disadvantage for me. I used Imperihome app in the past to check and if needed control some devices or start some scenes also when I'm not at home. Now I use TheHomeRemote app and this works very well to controll my Vera's and Fibaro Home Center remotely. Good chance I will cange to MSR in the near future.
To make this possible after decoupling my Vera's I need to use port forwarding. I have read on the Vera forum that some users advice not to do this because it is not safe. After some further googling I find very contradictive opinions wether using port forwarding is safe or not.
So what is the opinion of the experts on this forum? Is it really not safe and why ? How can I reduce the safety risks ?
Second question: should I wait for the upcoming 7.32 firmware update of Vera (I know some of you are beta testing this), is it wortwile?
Well....since this morning I cannot login to the vera forum anymore.. Account suspended for 1000 years. No warnings at all. What a joke....The almighty dictator that cannot endure any criticism and breaks every forum rule himself again proves what kind of person he is. Really unbelievable his recent behaviour towards rigpapa and akbooer !! Well I don't bother at all. Seeing the lack of progress in Ezlo controllers these will not be part of my (future) home automation system.
@toggledbits: I liked your reactions towards the dictator (probably the reason he suspended me) and I really fully behind you !!
@akbooer: ridiculous that the dictator calls you a thief (you stole away "his"customers). He'\s very good in chasing them all away himself.
I use Vera controllers for almost 8 years now. Honestly I'm quite happy with how they function right now. Thanks to the great research and tips of @rafale77 and switching all my scenes to the magnificent Reactor plugin it is now working (although with on average 1 luup reload per day). My setup is quite complex and next to a lot of zwave devices I also use the plugins for e.g. Hue, Sonos, Netatmo, Milight, RFXcom, smartmeter, Datamine2. For short term I will consider decoupling my Veras from the Vera servers and/or start using Openluup. First dig in to this a little more, I already noticed this forum is very informative about all the options.
I think much more members are banned now from the vera forum. Because if they ban me for liking the posts of rigpapa.... well I was not the only one.
@toggledbits: are you still allowed by the almighty dictator?
