@catmanv2 Same here, it works but not 100% reliable. A few misses that seem to correlate to if I am on the phone or not. I really miss the reliability iPhone locator.
Hoping you could tell us a bit about your experiences with ZWaveJS and MQTT.
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).

I've rebooted the RPi I've restarted MSR after double-checking the time on the RPi. Used a completely different browser to eliminate any caching concerns. Double-checked MSR reactor.yamla5f23151-d691-4343-8499-8e77a55528e5-image.png
What am I missing here @toggledbits ?
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:

But when I use 'rgb_color.set', the values DO NOT successfully carry over to Home Assistant:

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)?
Feedback / solutions with openLuup's built-in Shelly bridge.
Since a couple of weeks/months, we are in the process to redo 5 rooms @ home (kids are moving from room to another room) and of course, I would need to redo a bunch of device name and room name in Zway..
Is there an easy way to tell openLuup to completely start over fresh without having to delete/rename them one by one in openLuup ?
Hi,
I’m running MSR in a docker container on my Synology Nas. The container is automatically updated using watchtower weekly.
It was working. Now, after the update, Reactor webpage is able to load, and all indications on the webpage suggests that it is working fine. However, the updated statuses from Home Assistant and Vera are not being detected.
The container logs show the following error

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.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.
Akbooer: it would be good if openLuup was added to the awesome mqtt resources list.
How to contribute is described here.
Hello forum instigators.
Not sure who host/runs the forum software but a couple of challenges:
The chat is not currently usable, as the scrolling is all not right and it's not possible to read chats or send chats reliably.
There are a lot of female members that should perhaps be on another forum; where they can advertise their skills more appropriately. Note: I agree it's a job, like any other.
Whoever you are - thank you for your invaluable work.
I’m moving a lot of my home automation Raspberry Pi’s to Proxmox virtualisation and really enjoying it.
I would like to install Reactor that way too. Having researched this forum I’m surprised more people haven’t ventured into this. Although I use HomeAssistant in Proxmox I don’t want to use the HAOS path addin one user has tried as it seems to be unsupported now.
What would be the best way to install Reactor under Proxmox? As a Linux VM (flavour?) with manual install or as a Docker install or even following the Portainer write up with Docker install underneath? Proxmox tend to recommend you away from Docker where possible.
Keeping Reactor upto date easily would be a big consideration too.
Thanks for any recommendations and anyone running Reactor within Proxmox already ?
There’s a growing number of helper scripts for Proxmox that one click install home automation favourites as a prebuilt Linux container (LXC) . It would be nice to get Reactor listed and installed this way too…under the automation category
Noticed right away last night at closing time that the open/close had become inverted with the update to v23326.
It wasn't an awful bit of lift to change all Reactions to reflect the change but it was jarring initially when everything flipped.
Are there release notes on that version, @toggledbits ?
Installing latest-24052-d039d560 and I did a dumb thing: moving too quickly, I deleted package.json instead of package-lock.json because the latter didn't exist.
Ran the installer script - but in the wrong directory so I moved package.json manually.
Everything has come back EXCEPT for my MQTT Cloud OwnTracks entities. They're erroring because of this:

(Don't heckle my folder structure - it's run this way for three years)
reactor.yaml is fine, all MQTT configs exactly as they should be.
The folder mqtt_templates is present:

The file it says is "unreadable" is present and hasn't changed (today's date is the Changed date because I did a quick nonsense edit to see that it was not corrupted in some way).

I was using this method here by @therealdb to run Lua Code from MSR on my Vera Plus but it seems to have stopped working now.
Its the one where you uploaded a file called VeraScenes.lua to your Vera hub and then you could call functions of that file to run particular bits of Lua code from an MSR reaction etc.

This was working well for a long time but I noticed today its not working now.

Home Automation means you have to have a way of describing the logical steps you want your home to implement automatically.
Whilst I've always been a fan of the Lua language, as used in Vera (and openLuup) for scenes and plugins, it's perhaps not ideal. For this reason, there has been a long development history of plugins with their own "language" to help define the automation logic: PLEG (for those with a long memory), AltUI workflows, Rules Engine, Reactor, MSR, ...
It's always seemed to me that the 'best' way of describing logic would be a language designed for that purpose – a "logic programming language". Perhaps one of the most famous, and venerable, is Prolog, which had its fiftieth birthday last year in 2022.
Thanks to some relatively recent research A Hitchhiker’s Guide to Reinventing a Prolog Machine, Paul Tarau (2017) it's become possible to implement a very efficient Prolog engine in a reasonably concise way. So, just for fun, I'm developing a CGI plugin for describing openLuup actions in Prolog.
I have an early prototype running (written in Lua, of course). It presents a web page which looks like a fairly typical Interactive Development Environment (IDE) and contains some primitives which allow basic access to the Luup engine.

In a subsequent post, I'll give a glimpse of its capabilities...
OK - you have zwave-js-ui all set up and working. You are using MQTT. So you push a button on a minimote or similar. What is the MQTT topic/response? Presumably something to do with events and "zwave_js_event"? What's the payload? Tell me more!
Why do I ask? I'm sure openLuup & MQTT could handle this?

@toggledbits I used something like that to dampen solar panel logic. I am not "legally" allowed to hook up, but I still wanted to play with them. I still have a dumb meter and it's easily possible to end up negative for the month. I used a couple of RIB relays to turn panel groups off if the consumption target for the month was trending under what would be considered believable.
(I also turn them off by the driveway entrance sensor logic on the days that I know the meter reader will show up. I don't particularly need an observant reader seeing the meter flying around backward)
-
@therealdb wow, that is what I was just looking at beacons. Looks promising if they are reliable.
I don't have gates, but I would not mind a few automated defensive turrets.
-
@catmanv2 Yeah, my use case is a little more particular. I don't have an issue with never getting notification changes, they are just more delayed than I would like. I think once you get MQTT and MSR talking a 5km is going be more than relievable enough.
I had iPhone locator poll/force location refresh when I came in my driveway and triggered the magnetic sensor. I needed the location to be accurate and updated by the time I reached either my house or my building on property. The driveway is about 300m long as the crow flies for region radius purposes, and traversal to either location is much less than 45 seconds.
For what it is worth, I do see instant (and I mean instant instant) location changes like @therealdb and @gwp1 reported when the app is open or recently accessed. The delay seems to come from the app being backgrounded and the phone idle for a long period.
@gwp1 with HASS iCloud3, can you remote request a location refresh of the phone? Meaning, could I have polling suspended until I ask for an update? I think I could get exactly what I am looking for with a combination of the two and some MSR logic.
-
@catmanv2 iPhone. I just returned home and it got a location trigger, but it was far from an instant trigger. The phone was in sleep for at least 30 minutes before I crossed the perimeter, and I would say the delay was in the area of 45 seconds.
-
Thanks for all of the input.
For whatever reason I am having the same spotty relationship with OwnTracks that @CatmanV2 has. One minute I think it's solved, the next minute it's missed a trigger.
With the success others have had, including @gwp1 with the same method of deployment, I must have something wrong. I'll keep working on it as time permits.
Thanks again
-
Something of note from OwnTracks with iOS.
"Why do location publishes sometimes seem to cease to work?
Here's what happens:
If the app goes into Background, the connection is disconnected because the app cannot maintain the TCP connection in background.
If you bring the app back into foreground, the app will re-connect.
When a location change is recorded (no matter if manual, significant, move or region mode), a message is prepared and an attempt to connect to the broker is started. If there is an error, connect will be retried after 2, 4, 8, ..., 64, 64, .... seconds until it succeeds.
BUT...
If the application is in background or is sent to the background, retries are restarted eventually - depending on iOS' background execution model about every 10 minutes.
With automatic modes switched off, even when bringing the app to foreground, no new location updates are generated." -
@CatmanV2 Well, at least I know it was not just me. I knew this day was coming because he had said something in August when it was broken that he didn't know if it was fixable because of Apple's API. I am thinking they kicked everything that did not use 2FA authentication.
@therealdb I set up Owntracks on Hubitat because it was easy, and I could play with it. Looks like it is very flexible. How hard is it on the battery? I realize mileage will vary a lot on this, but that was a feature I liked about the iPhone locator app. It ran using Apple's "Find My" that was already running on the phone. It's slow to update, but if I needed to know where the phone was, I would force a poll of location from the app. Since I started refining my logic in MSR I have been using manual polling almost exclusively. Thanks again for the point in this direction.
-
@therealdb Thanks DB. I also looked at that, but I will check it out more thoroughly.
I wanted to try to keep the force refresh option available, but looking quickly, I didn't think there was a way to do that. I really liked the behavior of asking the phone, "where do you think you are, and do me a favor and double-check just to be sure." Using that one feature stopped a lot of delayed or false location reports during a critical event, but in fairness, maybe this stuff has gotten good enough that it won't be an issue.
-
@akbooer Thanks again, I will poke around a bit. I have not explored anything with HomeKit yet, but it was something on my list.
-
@akbooer Thanks, can you force an update of the phone location remotely, or does it rely on last reported?
-
Reposting here because core people seem to be here daily.
Hello Everyone,
I am using iPhone locator on Vera, and yesterday it stopped working. Looking at the logs, I can see the connection is refused, but nothing on my end changed. iPhone locator is really important in my particular setup, so I guess I have two questions.
Is it broken, or is it me?
I don't see anyone else saying there is an issue, but I am not sure how many people are still using it (or Vera for location) at this point. I installed it on a blank Vera test controller, same issue. It might be something with the iCloud account, but it works everywhere else.Is there something similar on another platform?
Mainly what I would like is the ability to force a poll of iCloud location on demand. I have a bunch of triggers setup, including magnetic sensors in my driveway to sense vehicles and determine if the motion is egress or ingress. These triggers in conjunction with MSR have been a great way to double check phone location, and I would hate to lose this functionality. It looks like HA might have something with "iCloud3". Is anyone using it?
Thanks,
Mike -

False alarm with both work and MSR. I went back to look and it cleared up on it's own.

Hi Patrick,
I don't know if this might be related, but I just saw something strange with a missing attribute as well. It looks like after the last update the Schlage lock attribute on Vera systems lost:
x_vera_svc_micasaverde_com_DoorLock1.sl_UserCode_updated
(missing) is after it when looking in rule>entities>triggers.
Something just came up at work as I was writing this, so I'll look through the logs when I am freed up.
-
@cw-kid I was thinking along these lines myself when I asked that question. Any device brought into MSR could then be brought into Home Remote regardless of Home Remote's native support.
Unless I am not understanding something correctly, MSR could be brought in essentially as a hub. If MSR could talk to it, Home Remote could talk to it. More importantly, for something I would like to do, I would like a specific triggered Home Remote function to interact with MSR. (I think you had done this already if I remember correctly)
I think this would open lots of additional automation avenues.

Fair enough

For anyone not comfortable messing about with Docker inside of a Synology NAS, these are the steps to update to the new image.
Regardless of what you are doing, It is always good idea to have a backup copy of your reactor data folder.
- Make note of the "Volume" and "Environment" variable for "TZ"
- Stop and delete old container
- Delete old image from the "Images"
- Download the new image
- Launch new container with new image
- Under "General Settings" set container to auto start*
- Under "Volume" populate reactor data folder used in your previous reactor
- Under "Port Settings" change local port to 8111
- Under "Environment" hit the plus sign and add variable "TZ" with the value of your timezone.
- Apply and launch.
That should be it.
As Patrick stated, none of your configuration data is lost since it exists outside of the container.
Thanks again as always Patrick!
*I missed this one because it had been so long since I had setup from scratch. If you forget to do this a restart inside Reactor will cause a shutdown.
-
Thanks Patrick, sounds easy enough. (I've got backups just in case)
