Device log?
G
@toggledbits is there a log that will show me what rule is turning on a specific device? I've got a switch that has been kicking on at 2200 ET for several nights now and the reactor.log doesn't have a thing in it that I can see on a device level (it being more rules-based).

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.

Notice to Docker + ARM Users (RPi 3/4/5 and others)
toggledbitsT
This post does not apply to users of Intel/AMD-based systems. If you are using a Reactor image tagged latest-amd64 or stable-amd64, then this post does not apply to you. It also does not apply to bare-metal installs; it's for users of docker images on ARM-based systems only (principally Raspberry Pi hosts, but could be others). After January 15, 2026, I will no longer produce the aarch64-tagged docker image for Reactor. The ARM images will be arm64 for 64-bit operating systems, and armv7l for 32-bit operating systems. For those of you running a container from the aarch64 image today, this will be a relatively simple change: you just need to switch the image used for your docker container to a differently-tagged image. If you are using docker-compose, then this is a relatively simple matter of changing the image line in your docker-compose.yaml file and then stopping (docker-compose down) and restarting (docker-compose up -d) your Reactor daemon. But there's a catch... not all of you can safely just switch from the aarch64 image to the arm64 image. And, you can't just trust the output of uname -m, for example, because this exposes the CPU architecture, but not the word size of the OS running on that CPU. For Raspberry Pi systems, the transition to 64-bit operating systems was long (starting in 2016) and not always obvious — although there was a first "official" 64-bit OS for RPis in 2020, it did not become a default recommendation in the Raspberry Pi Imager until 2021, and then that was only the default for Pi 3/4 systems with >4GB RAM; it was 2022 before it was universally recommended for all 64-bit CPUs regardless of RAM size. Depending on when you first imaged your RPi system and what default you may have been offered/chosen, you could today easily have a 64-bit CPU Raspberry Pi running a 32-bit version of the operating system. Upgrades along the way would not change this; changing it to fully 64-bit requires a full reimage of the system. To establish if your OS is 64- or 32-bit, log in to your Pi and run: sudo dpkg-architecture -q DEB_HOST_ARCH. If the response is arm64 or aarch64, then you are running a 64-bit OS and you should use the arm64-tagged image. If it's anything else, you are running a 32-bit OS, and you should use the armv7l-tagged image. pi@rpi4-1:~ $ sudo dpkg-architecture -q DEB_HOST_ARCH armhf pi@rpi4-1:~ $ uname -m aarch64 pi@rpi4-1:~ $ In the example above, the uname command reports that the CPU is 64-bit architecture (aarch64), which is true for the host on which I ran these commands, but the DEB_HOST_ARCH value is armhf, indicating a 32-bit operating system. This system has to use the armv7l-tagged image. Other systems will have their own ways of determining the word size of the running OS. Since the majority of Reactor users running ARM systems are on Raspberry Pis, I am able to supply the above instructions, but if you happen to have a different ARM system, you'll need to do some web searching to figure out how to expose that information. Or, you can just try the arm64 image, and if it doesn't start up, try the armv7l image. Remember to always back up your system before making any changes. For everyone, please make this change as soon as possible, and if you have any trouble finding a working image, please (1) go back to the current aarch64 image; and (2) let me know in this thread along with as much detail about your host system as you can offer (including the output of the dpkg-architecture command mentioned above).

Requesting a proper ARM64/aarch64 Docker image (Pi 5 support)
M
Hi, I'm in the process of migrating from a Raspberry Pi 4 (ARMv7) to a Raspberry Pi 5 (ARMv8/aarch64), but I’ve run into an issue: there is no proper ARMv8/aarch64 image available. None of the existing images run on the Pi 5 - they all exit immediately with code 139 (segmentation fault), which typically indicates that the binaries inside the image are not compatible with the ARM64/aarch64 architecture used by the Pi 5. Would it be possible to publish a correct ARMv8/aarch64 (linux/arm64) image? Building one should be relatively straightforward using docker buildx with multi-arch support. For example, my own Node.js images are built this way: docker buildx build --push \ -t <localrepo>/<project>:<tag> \ --platform=linux/arm64,linux/amd64 \ --file ./apps/<project>/Dockerfile . This produces both the AMD64 and ARM64/v8 variants automatically. Also, as a side note, it may be best to avoid using Alpine as the base image for the ARM64 build, since musl-based builds often cause compatibility issues and unnecessary headaches. A glibc-based base image (e.g., Debian or Ubuntu) tends to work far more reliably on ARM64, especially for Node.js applications. @toggledbits - tagging you in case you missed this. Thanks, mgvra

Script action and custom timers
therealdbT
Sorry to write here without trying, but I’m flying today. Am I correct if i say that script action with alarm() makes it possible to execute a reaction in a given interval, lets say 15 seconds or 3.5 minutes? That sounds amazing, since I’ve used weird tricks, including a custom controller, just to do this.

There is an alternative to homebridge-mqttthing
CrilleC
Just throwing out a general hint to the people running Homebridge and MQTT. Homebridge MQTT-Thing hasn't been updated in almost 2 years and it falls behind on compatibility with the development of Homebridge. I was looking for a replacement and found Homebridge Easy MQTT and I think it's a good replacement for MQTT-Thing. I particularly find Easy MQTT Value tranformers easier to to understand and use compared to MQTT-Thing Apply function. It took a while to migrate everything but I'm pleased and can recommend.

Reactor Version 25310 : Office Light control via rule in reactor no longer working since last update.
P
Hello, I currently have an office light (connected via a Leviton Zwave Dimmer switch) controlled from a Gen5 Aeotech Zwave switch installed on my Synology 720+ NAS. I run HA(2025.11.10) in a virtual machine from my NAS and Reactor on the container manager of the same NAS. Prior to updating to 25304 the rule I had set to turn the light on to a specific dimming value worked correctly. Now the rule appears to follow the decision tree, however the reaction does not trigger setting the dimming or turning on the office light? Strangely I can still turn the light on and off as well as dim it directly from HASS..? I have tried using the ''try this action'' button in the rules reaction setting and it will not control the light and does not throw an error flagÉ Please help, P.S Reactor has been rock steady for me over the last few years and I'm a big fan of this solution.

Shelly Wall Display XL
therealdbT
I don't know if you guys are into dashboards, but I am. For a second home I tried the Shelly Wall Display 2, and while not so big, it worked well over the summer. Since we're remodeling our house, I just swapped my old Fire Tablet (with its own problems) with two new Shelly Wall Display XL. I just removed the standard firmware, and I added mine (https://github.com/dbochicchio/ShellyElevate), forked from https://github.com/RapierXbox/ShellyElevate I just managed to support buttons (this thing has 4 of them) and it's all auto-discovered by Home Assistant and accessible via Reactor. I also have a new build in the works with support for buttons inside HA. I added a bonus Javascript interface sending events (screen/screensaver status, buttons, motion) to automatically drive the dashboard (all doing in HTML+Javascript and monitoring Reactor's variable). This specifical thing excluded, go get one of them, the device has a decent CPU for HA dashboards and blends wonderfully in the decor.

    Sorry if this has been covered before, just curious why triggers in openluup are not consistent..

  • OpenLuup : Loading Global Modules
    parkercP parkerc

    Thanks @akbooer,

    OK to confirm, my current xxpushover.lua module has mainly global functions e.g.

    function push_specific(apptoken, title, device, message, priority, url, urltitle)
    	local status = https.request ( "https://api.pushover.net/1/messages.json" , "token="..apptoken.."&user="..usertoken.."&device="..device.."&message="..message.."&title="..title.."&priority="..priority.."&timestamp="..os.time().."&url="..url.."&url_title="..urltitle)
    
    luup.log(" <<<< - xxpushover module loaded - >>>>> ")
    
    

    I should change these to local functions, and add the return table to the end..

    local function push_specific(apptoken, title, device, message, priority, url, urltitle)
    	local status = https.request ( "https://api.pushover.net/1/messages.json" , "token="..apptoken.."&user="..usertoken.."&device="..device.."&message="..message.."&title="..title.."&priority="..priority.."&timestamp="..os.time().."&url="..url.."&url_title="..urltitle)

  • OpenLuup : Loading Global Modules
    parkercP parkerc

    It’s been a while since I looked at openLuup as it had been running nicely and quietly in the background doing some basic tasks. With my VeraPlus looking like it’s finally succumbing to old age, I want to shift a number of the global module I have over to openLuup.

    To do this, I have added the files (example would be xxpushover.lua to the cmh-ludl folder and the following to the startup

    require “xxpushover”

    The xxpushover.lua file itself starts with the following..

    module("xxpushover", package.seeall)

    And I always have a line in these files to allow me to check it’s been read in the start up related logs, which in this case it is..

    The challenge I’m having is that when I try to call any of the functions within the module, it returns the following error..

    "[string "ALTUI - LuaRunHandler"]:1: attempt to index global 'xxpushover' (a nil value)”

    I’m no doubt missing something obvious, can anyone help me find out what it is ? Many thanks

    That’s great news, many thanks @akbooer (ALTUI never worked properly on my iPad, so It’s nice to know there are options) and I love the simplicity of the console...

    As I’m running the openLuup docker instance (@vwout ) how do I benefit from this recent update, are there specific file I can update ?

    Will console become the default UI now, rather than ALTUI..(how best do we switch)?

    Also not sure if you are aware, but the ‘bypass’ option on the console view appears as a power symbol (example below)..

    Hi @akbooer

    Just bringing this over as suggested..

    I’ve started to use the console view a lot more, mainly for it’s look and simplicity , but I noticed it does not do any live updates compared to ALTUI, you have to do a full browser reload. Is that by design, or is mine not working?

    Also if I want to go strait to the console view, rather than into ALTUI, I recall seeing something abut altering that in the guide by for the life of me I can’t find it. Is it possible to do, if so how would I do that..

    You suggested this was something you were looking at ? Also you said You don't need a "full browser reload", just click on the display menu item to refresh the screen. - what do you mean by `display menu?

    --

    To provide some additional information, the following Curl command sent to httpbin.org/post..

    local url_open = 'curl -u "username:password" -F "title=Companies House File" -F "correspondent=12" -F "document=@/mnt/nas/10.pdf" http://httpbin.org/post'
    local command = io.popen(url_open)
    local result = command:read("*a")
    print(result)
    

    Returns the following, which looks good…

    {
    "args": {}, 
    "data": "", 
    "files": {
    "document": "data:application/octet-stream;base64,JVBERi0xLjMNJeLjz9MNCjIyNyAwIG9iag08PCANL0xpbmVhcml6ZWQgMSANL08gMjMxIA0vSCBbIDIzNTAgODc5IF<REDACTED>T5dDT4+DXN0YXJ0eHJlZg0xNzMNJSVFT0YN"
    }, 
    "form": {
    "correspondent": "12", 
    "title": "Companies House File"
    }, 
    "headers": {
    "Accept": "*/*",

    -- Execute request (returns response body, response code, response header)
    
    local resp = {}
    local body, code, headers, status = http.request {
        url = httpendpoint,

       -- source = ltn12.source.file( io.open(filepath,"rb") ),
       source = ltn12.source.file( io.open(send) ),
        sink = ltn12.sink.table(resp)
    }
    
    print(body, code, headers, status)
    print(table.concat(resp))
    
    if headers then 
        for k,v in pairs(headers) do 
            print(k,v) 
        end
    end
    
    

    I get this returned..

    It’s clear I’m not getting the content sent in the right format/structure, but I cannot find any guidance that clearly explains how to construct a multi-part form submissions via Lua code..

  • Lua - multi-part/form submission (Paperless-ngx API)
    parkercP parkerc

    Hi

    I’ve been investing a lot of time recently trying to digitise everything I can, and my current adventure is with all my paper documents.

    My tool of choice is Paperless-ngx, which so far is an amazing open source solution, and highly recommended if you’re interest in such a thing…

    Such a move to Paperless would not be complete without some form of integration into Vera / openLuup, and thankfully it has a nice Rest API (https://paperless-ngx.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html) I can use. So far I’ve been able to make use the GET requests, to provide document counts etc., but it’s the mutipart/form data piece where I’m struggling..

    The Curl command to upload a document, is as follows

    curl -H "Authorization: Basic Y2hyaXM62tgbsgjunotmeY2hyaXNob3N0aW5n" -F "title=Companies House File 10" -F "correspondent=12" -F "document=@/mnt/nas/10.pdf" http://192.168.102.134:8777/api/documents/post_document/
    

    But, I’d like to know how to do this with Lua code, more just to help me in my Lua learning curve, and what I thought would be reasonably straight forward thing to do, has turned out to be quite the opposite 🙂 Sending a multipart form data submission via http.request, is not as straight forward as I hoped. If anyone has any time to help, I’d appreciate some guidance on what I’m missing with the following, as based on the feedback, it looks like it not seeing the file (which I think I’ve confirmed by trying to sending both the curl and Lua commands to httbin.org ) …

    local http = require("socket.http")
    local ltn12 = require("ltn12")
    local mime = require("mime")
    local lfs = require("lfs")
    
    local username = "username"
    local password = "password"
    
    local httpendpoint = 'http://httpbin.org/post'
    local filepath = "/mnt/nas/10.pdf"
    local file = io.open(filepath, "rb")
    local contents = file:read( "*a" )

    local body, code, headers, status = http.request {
        url = httpendpoint,
        method = 'POST',
        headers = {
    		["Authorization"] = "Basic " .. (mime.b64(username ..":" .. password)),
    		["Content-Length"] = lfs.attributes(filepath, 'size'),
    		['Content-Type'] = "multipart/form-data; boundary="..boundary,
        },
       -- source = ltn12.source.file( io.open(filepath,"rb") ),
       source = ltn12.source.file( io.open(send) ),
        sink = ltn12.sink.table(resp)
    }
    
    print(body, code, headers, status)
    print(table.concat(resp))
    
    if headers then 
        for k,v in pairs(headers) do 
            print(k,v) 
        end
    end

    Ok, I decided to dive into Robot Vaccum cleaners , so picked up an 2nd hand Roomba e5 and have also got a Deenkee arriving tomorrow (damn you Amazon and your lightening deals !!!)

    Now, I obviously will want to get them both integrated into my Vera/OpenLuup world at some point, and starting with the Roomba, I’ve been trying to get Rest980 up and running (https://github.com/koalazak/rest980)..

    Is anyone already using this to interface with their Roomba ?
    If not, what are people using with their Roombas?

  • Lua : Downloading a file over https
    parkercP parkerc

    Ok, not had much luck with the variations I tried, 😞

    One thing I did notice was that the luasec version on VeraPlus is v0.4 and the openssl version is v1.0.2

    # openssl version
    OpenSSL 1.0.2l  25 May 2017
    

    Checking the luasec guidance here, https://github.com/brunoos/luasec/wiki/LuaSec-1.0.x , that VeraPlus openSSL version supports luasec v 1.0.x ?

    Without being able to install/use Luarocks, any idea how to upgrade from luasec 0.4 to 1.0.x?

    Thanks all..

    Looks like curl is the way to go in situations like this..

    Quick question in regards to being able to do this all in Lua on a VeraPlus, I came across the following bit of code (not sure of the origin, but i can see it specifies a certificate file, is this an option ?

    require("socket")
    local ssl = require("ssl")
    local url = "test"
    
    local params = {
      mode = "client",
      protocol = "tlsv1_2",
      cafile = "/path/to/downloaded/cacert.pem", --<-- added cafile parameters
      verify = "peer", --<-- changed "none" to "peer"
      options = "all",
    }
    
    local conn = socket.tcp()
    conn:connect(url, 443)
    
    -- TLS/SSL initialization
    conn = ssl.wrap(conn, params)
    conn:dohandshake()
    
    conn:send("GET / HTTP/1.1\n\n")
    local line, err = conn:receive()
    print(err or line)
    conn:close()

    Is the lack of TLS 1.2 with Vera addressed with something like this, not sure how this works, but I assume there is a default if something is not specified ?

    local _, code = https.request{
          url = url,
          protocol = "tlsv1_2",
         }
         ResetData()
         Log(" sent data status: " .. code)
    return code

    Sorry, yes this is being done on my VeraPlus, with latest ‘production’ firmware 7.31..

    When I run this, i get nothing back not even an error for the https call.
