Hi @toggledbits,
I don't know if I'm the only one, so I'm reporting here first instead of opening a bug.
Basically, with the latest 2-3 updates of Reactor and MQTTController, after a restart previous statuses are lost (for both Virtual and MQTT entities), until they're restored.
It's particularly annoying for Virtual Entities, because I have to set them all over again (I've coded some defaults at startup if the values are empty, but sometimes these are not the correct values before the update).
Not easy to reproduce, and logs are gone, but the first time I tought it was me hallucinating, the second one didn't bother too much, after the third I realized it's something not coming from me.
the behavior could be seen in this screenshot:
1c007fc2-4dbc-4476-8dca-e5aa111e4642-image.png
Any hint is appreciated.
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.
Feedback / solutions with openLuup's built-in Shelly bridge.
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:
Contrib MQTT templates for Reactor. Contribute to dbochicchio/reactor-mqtt-contrib development by creating an account on GitHub.
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 🙂
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.

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:

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!

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.
I found that this works.

Normally there is no need for a Reactor "bless" for HA, this is for Home Assistant as they are known to have function braking updates.
So far I am not seeing issues.
I did the update of my test C7 to 2.3.7.139 and so far so good. Note that this one does not have z-wave as the old bug that cloud backups can lock z-wave is back and I will wait for that to be fixed before upgrading my main box (I typically wait a month)
And what version of MSR are you running and how (barebone, PI, Windows, Docker, ...) Patrick will need more before magic will be done as you can read elsewhere on this forum. I am running the latest Docker image latest-23344-ca53d088.
Yeah, DarkSky was providing more data indeed. I'll have a look at the error message.
Hi @DesT
What is the error you get with Multi Provider Weather Station? I have not done a fresh install for a while with that, so would be interesting to know so I can make corrections if needed.
Cheers Rene
Same here. Modified some Qubino drivers and made one to set associations, but that is it. Still relying on Openluup for most.
HI, I swapped my C7 with a C8. Transferred the configuration using backup/restore and using the same IP address. It still works with Reactor as before. It makes sense as both hubs are the same except the Zwave and zigbee radios. So your issue must have a different cause then hub model.
Now this is a flashback to University. They tried to teach us logical and AI programming using prolog. I might still have a book on it, you know one of those things made out many sheets of paper
And we used Fortran for mathematical problems I thought those professors where dinosaurs back then. Lol, how slow that world changes in our fast changing world.
So do I
Created a pull request.
Hi Ak,
I put in a workaround. You can get the access and refresh tokens from dev.netatmo.com. I put the access token in as Username and refresh token as Password. In your Netatmo.lua I changed the authenticate function to just return those values (no request to the Netatmo api site). This gets the plugin going again. I also updated the refresh_tokens to update the Username and Password values with the new token values. I expect that will get one through a Luup reload. Bit quick and dirty, but if your interested I can do a github merge request or get you the changes otherwise.
Cheers Rene
What I did is make a trace in my browser and login, then save as har file to look back at. Sometimes it helped me to make a python script first so I do not have to worry about the session handling, and then add that to the Lua logic. Not simple to do for sure.
Hi Ak,
Any progress in this? I did write some Lua for oath2 authentication for my Telsa plugin. Main challenge was keeping track of cookies. Not sure if it can give some help.
See https://github.com/reneboer/vera-TeslaCar/blob/master/src/L_TeslaCar1.lua lines 900-1200.
Cheers Rene
Still reading the forum, but mainly busy with serious reconstruction work on the house (bathroom and two rooms to go). Once that dust settles I am sure I will be more active again. Ezlo is powerd off, Hubitat slowly taking over (has its own short comings, but zwave does not seem one of them). MSR provides a key function to make that transfer simpler. openLuup still key in keeping it all running.
Keep up the good work.
Cheers Rene
Hi Ak,
I removed the true parameter and now things are working again. It seems it looses the plugin context or something.
Cheers Rene
Yes this used to work. I had it running on a Vera before and moved it to openLuup more than a year back, maybe even two. One of the last changes was to add the true parameter. I will do some test the coming days and let you know.
Yes, sorry. it is all in the same lua file of a plugin. The call_timer is in the init code of the plugin.
The call_delay is called the in HouseDevice1_PumpCommand function.
Hi Ak,
Not sure when it started as it took me a while to notice.
I have a function on a luup.call_timer to turn on a switch and then use a luup.call_delay to turn it off a minute later. This is done by the same global function, but on the luup.call_delay i get a message in the log : "luup.call_delay:: unknown global function name: HouseDevice1_PumpCommand"
This is in the init function:
luup.call_timer("HouseDevice1_PumpCommand", 2, "2:15:00", hm_Heating.PumpHealthRunDay, hm_Heating.PumpCMD.HEALTH.."1", true)
This is in the function to schedule to off command giving the global function name not found:
luup.call_delay("HouseDevice1_PumpCommand", hm_Heating.PumpHealthOnDuration, hm_Heating.PumpCMD.HEALTH.."0")
Is it because I use the "TRUE" parameter that is openLuup specific so the timer does not fire just once?
Running v21.7.25, may be time to update?
Cheers Rene
Hi AK,
On Vera? You smart man, never thought of that. It does work on that.
