So this is where all the banned Vera members rejoice.. definitely will be posting here more than the toxic vera community forums

Edit: Solved in latest-26221.
Bare-metal latest-26193
I have this group:
"OKforLarm":
name: OK för Larm
select:
- include_controller: vera
- include_capability: door_sensor
filter_expression: entity.attributes.door_sensor.state
It contains the entities I expect but behaves a bit odd. When I open vera>device_10097 the entity attribute door_sensor.state changes to true but it won't show up as member in the group, when I also open vera>device_10095 they both shows as members and when I close vera>device_10095 it disappear from the group but when I close vera>device_10097 it lingers in the group until I restart Reactor.
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.
Hey @toggledbits I'm back to trying to optimize a couple of things based on dynamic group.
First of all, I think I found a typo in the doc:
primary_attribute: "binary_sensor.state"
primary_attribute_value: |
d = false;
each id in members: d = getEntity(id)?.attributes?.power_switch?.state or d,
d
I think the correct code snippet is d = false,
All that said, my use case for dynamic groups is to group 3 different climate devices, so I could easily command them at the same time. Commands are good, but sometimes I want to check if any of the devices are on, and that's easily done with a similar snippet as the one you have in the docs. But this is limited to the primary attribute, while I want to have any of the attributes in the group to be driven by a similar logic (while all are null in the group). ie, access hvac_control.mode and see if any of the unit is set to cool, or heat. Is that possible, without re-defining an expression in each of my rules? Thanks!
Love openLuup - it just keeps working perfectly.
I started looking at trying to add a gen4 Shelly device to the Shelly plugin via L_ShellyBridge.lua. The plugin is a little uncooked (no rudeness intended), so a bit of a rabbit hole for me.
All of a sudden no console pages available in either Firefox or Chrome. AltUI works perfectly and all the log files indicate no errors. openLuup still running everything works as it should - just no console pages.
I possibly screwed something up but any recently changes files show no problems. The original/ backup of L_ShellyBridge.lua was reinstated but still no console.
Bit stumped on this one. Not sure how to debug. Any ideas?
Hey @toggledbits
One thing that bothers me while doing work on new systems/new features, is that I cannot copy&paste actions, and I cannot drag&drop between set and resets.
#1 is for when I want to copy an action between different rules opened in two separate browser windows, while #2 is when I just need to flip a bunch of actions in the reset, or move some logic back and forth.
Both will be appreciated, but I understand the technical challenges. Thanks!
I'm currently on version 26011. I understand that the aarch64 image is no longer supported. So, I therefore need to update to the ARM64 image. Can anyone possibly suggest how I update my docker compose.yaml file (see below). Ideally I'd like to keep my existing reactions etc. rather than start from scratch.
# Multi-System Reactor template docker-compose.yml (version 22160)
#
# Change the lines indicated by "DO"...
#
services:
reactor:
container_name: reactor
environment:
# DO change the TZ: line to set your local time zone.
# See valid TZ list: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_database_time_zones
TZ: GB
#
# DO NOT change this path. Your directory location is in "source" below.
REACTOR_DATA_PREFIX: /var/reactor
# DO change the image below to the one you are using (e.g. armv7l or aarch64 for RPi 4)

It appears that Ezlo is going to new levels of paid subscription for cloud services supporting Vera hubs. I have to congratulate them. It will soon be 8 years since Ezlo acquired Vera, and despite their purported financial and "intellectual" capital, they have to date not produced a viable full replacement for Vera. Now they are going to charge extra for services for a platform that they stopped updating years ago.
If you know anyone who hasn't yet fully moved on from Captain Ahab's White Whale Chase, please remind them that my Decouple project is still up on Github to decouple a Vera Plus/Secure/Edge from Vera/Ezlo's cloud services. Veras have been said to misbehave when they can't reach the mother ship.
I have also written my first new Vera plugin in... six years? more?... the AlertPushover project will send Vera hub alerts to Pushover, so you can still get messages generated by your Vera hub without paying for Ezlo's cloud service. It's crude but functional (i.e. better than nothing/worth every penny paid).
These two projects won't replace the functionality of their cloud service and app for those who need those things. But any that don't, this may help bridge the gap. Hopefully these stragglers who have waited so long and been disappointed so often will get the idea that it's time to move on.

Vera account suspended for a 1000 yearsI mean I dont want to turn this into a Vera/Ezlo bashing thread, but their progress rate is snail slow. In a tech market like todays you will fall behind very very quickly (if not already). Any sort of true criticism is met with a ban or very unprofessional responses that come off with a very sassy tone. It is what it is though, we have better platforms to turn to, including ones made by talented devs, aka OpenLuup

Vera account suspended for a 1000 yearsEvery time he posts I just laugh. So childish, I would be surprised if Ezlo even last a year.

Vera account suspended for a 1000 yearsI am just in shock, how low can one go to try to prove themselves right. @toggledbits i commend your ability to remain professional and true to the facts. What Melih is saying is just infuriating me, I can’t imagine how it makes you feel.

Logic Assistance: Exterior Lights on when Illuminance Below ThresholdAfter spending some time I think I got it figured out. Thanks to @Crille for the Inspo expression. I created a similar one that would basically deduct the extra light that is added when the lights are on. Basically when the lights are off, the expression gives the true value of the light sensor, and when they're on it deducts the 30lx from the true value. 30lx is probably too much but It seems to work now. The sunrise/sunset trigger is just temporarily there to ensure the lights still turn on and off as back up.

Light automation thoughts@LibraSun said in Light automation thoughts:
Lately every automation conversation I've had ends with "Dude. You should really get Home Assistant."
Honestly, Home Assistant impresses me everyday. I really have not come across any shortcomings with it.. the community is great, it supports almost any product and its very very stable. Paired with MSR its unstoppable.

Using HA Harmony Hub to control volumeInstead of using a
call servicecommand just use theremoteentity and invoke thex_hass_remote.send_commandand fill in the info as needed. Device is the name of the device you wish to control (in this case your TV), command is the command (Volume Up) and thenum_repeatsetc. can be left untouched if you don't need it. Device info and commands can be found in the/configfolder in HA. It will be labelledharmony_[hub number].conf. -

Light automation thoughts@CatmanV2 said in Light automation thoughts:
What I am trying to think is can I just pick up the config and move it to a dedicated host / install at some point, or is it going to get snotty about changes?
I used to run HA on a windows 11 VM but ran into a few issues that basically stopped my system from running. I ended up purchasing an Ordroid N2+ and the transition was painless. Just restore from back up and everything was working as is.

Feature Request: Back-up through UIHey Patrick, this is probably a rather large request but it would be nice to be able to download a back-up of MSR through the UI similar to how we could do it with R4V. Beyond that maybe even having the ability to create a rule set that auto backups to a NAS would be even more useful! Currently I know you can just copy the complete
reactorfile from the machine MSR is running on but using the UI would make backing possible from anywhere and much simpler and quicker! -

Notifications to HA App via Reactor?@cadwizzard you’ve gotta create a service call for the ‘hass>system’ entity and the service will be notify.(whatever device or notification group). Similar to what I have screenshotted below.

Help with Luup Reloads@toggledbits That makes sense why the plugin wasnt working as expected. That explanation solves so many issues that I have had with plugins lol. Since I would alternate between WinSCP and Uploading via the web UI

Does this rule look correct ?@cw-kid Exactly! This way if you want to change Civil Dusk to be -30 mins or whatever it will update across all your Rule Sets!
