For being a "Developer preview" it is quite solid. After some minor issues yesterday and have been solved with 21051, I have re-built most of my Reactor-sensors in Vera in the MSR and it is working fine. They are now disabled in the Vera and let's see how it goes in the coming days

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
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
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.
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?
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

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.
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.
I foolishly let my system wipe all cookies this morning and with it my settings for my MSR home page.
Once logged back in I can no longer remove errant panes nor is the + available to add new ones.
Brave Browser v1.80.122 (Jul 16, 2025)
What have I done?!
Will check other browsers on my M1.
UPDATE: Safari exhibits same behaviour.
I've tried both sans last-four public key entry and with - no change.
@toggledbits, not sure if this is a feature request or I'm using the search tool wrong. You have a "Search for rule" in the Rules Set tab in MSR. It works nicely to find a rule and bring up said rule, but can it/could it be used for as a "where used?" global search? For instance, I have a fairly large set of rules, divided up into 10 different rulesets. There's easily a hundred individual rules, and many of the rules have Rule State triggers, which of course refer to other rules. Amongst my troubleshooting today, I came across what may have been a duplicate or troubleshooting attempt, but I can't tell if it's actually used as a Rule State in another rule without opening each rule that I suspect it may be a part of.
Thanks.

Multi-System Reactor Developer Preview AVAILABLE@rafale77 said in Multi-System Reactor Developer Preview AVAILABLE:
"The rPi4 is a bit tricky to boot from SATA but it can be done and if you want a reliable system, you should definitely go down that route."
Today with an upgraded system, since the RPi firmware has native support, it is fairly straight forward. There are tons of guides and videos online to help.

How do I "else"@librasun I have actually moved most of my Reactor rules (3/4) by making new ones MSR were I could iron out some of the conceptual mistakes I made when I stated to use Reactor in Vera. MSR is rather stable now but I understand that you want to wait for how to import. My next step is to integrate it with InfluxdB.

How do I "else"I want my sensors to be stored in a database for further analysis/joy (Temp, Watts what ever). I guess you are right that it could be done with some additional functionality in MSR but I think @toggledbits bits in some post that it is not in the roadmap. Thinking ...

How to auto start on Rpi reboot ?With the newer firmwares to the RPi it is fairly straight forward to use a SSD since it has native support now. Not that much alchemy anymore.

MSR Backup@librasun Same here, I have now transferred all my old Reactor routines from Vera and it is looking good. The old ones in Vera are now disabled and they are actually running on my RPi4 as the production unit for my home, although @toggledbits sais you should not :). Forward to the HA integration

Can MSR be connected to more than one Vera controller?@librasun I hope that this will not be high on the priority list, since it is a paid cloud service. We need to get our local services MSR and HASS etc. working as intended. There are still some basic functionalities to iron out. I have started to realize in my Vera-MSR-HASS home it is starting to get quite complicated to know how I should use it in the most effective way since entities and rules now are starting to get spread out.
