[Reactor] Bug when sending MQTT boolean payloads
therealdbT
Topic thumbnail image
Multi-System Reactor
Possible feature request?
CatmanV2C
No idea how easy this would be. During my migration away from Z-wave I've been replacing the Z-wave devices with Sonoff which has broken some of my automations. Any chance of a 'Test Reaction' function to call out which ones are broken because an entity no longer exists? Without actually running the reaction? Or does this exist already and I'm just not aware of how to do it? Obviously I can see entities that are no longer available, but not quite what I'm looking for. I guess it's something of an edge case so no huge issue. TIA! C

Copying a global reaction
tunnusT
With build 25328, if you copy a global reaction, a new reaction does not appear in the UI unless you do a refresh. I recall this used to work without needing this page refresh? Anyway, only a minor nuisance.

Genuinely impressed with Zigbee and HA / Reactor
CatmanV2C
Just for the record, in case anyone is following, I'm really rather impressed. I have installed one of these: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0B6P22YJC?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1 That's connected (physically) to the VM running on my Synology, with a 2m USB extension. The same host also runs Openluup, Mosquito, HA Bridge. Yesterday I installed Zigbee2mqtt. That was a bit of a PITA but mostly because of ports and permissions. Once up and running, and the correct boxes ticked, immediately visible in Home Assistant via the MQTT integration, and thence into Reactor I've only got two devices. I bought the cheapest sensor I could find, which is a door sensor. Dead easy to add to ZIgbee2mqtt and again, immediately visible in HA. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0FPQLWRW1?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title The dongle is on the top floor of the house, and I wanted the sensor on the back door (just about as far apart as it's possible to get short of going into the garage) When I moved the sensor downstairs it dropped out pretty instantly (which wasn't a huge surprise) so quick bit of research found out that smart plugs will act as routers so... https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0FDQDPGBB?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title Took me about 30 seconds to connect. Updated the name. Instantly visible in Reactor with the new name pushed over from Zigbee2mqtt. And lo, the door sensor now has a signal of 140 and works as far as I can tell perfectly and instantly (unlike my z-wave one). A few more of those will be purchased and used to replace the Tuya wifi cloud devices and the (continually failing) Z-wave plugs (yeah, they were TKB so....) Commended to the house. Thanks for everyone that got me on the right lines. C

Reset a delay
CatmanV2C
I'm sure this has been asked, and answered, but damned if I can figure it out Use case: I have a rear garden with lights. A door from the kitchen into the garden and a door from the garage. Currently if I open the kitchen door the lights come on (yay) and a 3 minute delay starts. After 3 minutes, no matter what else happens, the lights go off (Boo! But also yay!) What I would like is for the 3 minute delay until the lights go off to start from the latest door open event. That is, if I'm going from kitchen to garage, and back again, the lights stay on until there's three minutes of no activity. I've tried 'hacking' with a virtual switch, but can't seem to stop the delay. Any pointers? TIA C

Zigbee2mqtt installed! sytemctl not happy :(
CatmanV2C
Hello oh great ones. After a couple of hours messing with ports and permissions I have Zigbee2mqtt installed and running on my virtual pi Can connect to the front end and everything Odd one though, simply cannot get systemctl to work and the error is, well, unhelpful. The service file is this: [Unit] Description=zigbee2mqtt After=network.target [Service] Environment=NODE_ENV=production Type=notify ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/node index.js WorkingDirectory=/opt/zigbee2mqtt StandardOutput=inherit # Or use StandardOutput=null if you don't want Zigbee2MQTT messages filling syslog, for more options see systemd.exec(5) StandardError=inherit WatchdogSec=10s Restart=always RestartSec=10s User=pi [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target Straight out of the docs with the change to point to my local node install (which we know works as it's the same as the very fine Reactor is using. Running manually pnpm start in /opt/zigbee2mqtt works fine However: catman@openluup:/etc/systemd/system$ sudo systemctl start zigbee2mqtt.service Job for zigbee2mqtt.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status zigbee2mqtt.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

Zigbee
Any thoughts on which is better
CatmanV2C
Obviously a quiet forum, but perhaps it's time I'm looking at rolling Zigbee into my system, in large part for the Aqara FP300 presence sensors which seem to finally provide a solution to if the wasp is actually in the box. My current set up is as follows: One Debian VM on Synology NAS running: Z-wave Server Open Luup Multi system reactor HA bridge Mosquito MQQT broker This machine has a UZB Z-wave stick connected via the USB port on the NAS Another HAOS VM on the same NAS running HAOS I've got some older Z-wave stuff that I keep around until it fails. I have some Tuya stuff integrated in HA My thought was to get either a SMLIGHT SLZB-06M or an Aqara Hub M2 Integrate them via Zigbee2MQQT (running on the Debian machine) and then expose them in HA so I can continue to automate in MSR. Thoughts on which of those devices wold be preferable long term. Both are POE capable which is good. It also appears I could add a USB dongle to the NAS and expose it to the HAOS machine. Any thoughts from the assembled experts here? TIA C
Zigbee
Single protocol?
CatmanV2C
Another question to the hive mind. Prompted by the fact that I lost yet another z-wave device over the weekend due to a power issue. It looks like z-way server is reporting another device failed (although it's working fine) and message queue is far too long IMHO. Also the failed device has been removed in the expert interface, but still there in the 'normal' one. Sigh. Currently I have z-wave, Tuya, thinking about Zigbee.... Does anyone use one single protocol for everything? Right now I'm feeling that as the z-wave stuff dies, I'm just gonna replace it with something else.... C
General Discussion
HDMI oddness
CatmanV2C
Not really Smart Home stuff, but going to ask as we have smart people... Bear with me on this one. Asking here because of the font of knowledge! For many eek years I have had a Virgin V6 box and a Raspberry Pi running Kodi connected to my TV through a cheap *** HDMI switch. It all worked beautifully but the absolutely critical thing was that the TV remote passed the signals back to the Pi to allow remote control of Kodi. Couple of changes of late: Installed a soundbar on the TV using the ARC (audio return channel). That then turns the soundbar on and off when the TV turns on and off and the TV volume control controls the soundbar volume direct. Everything continues to work Upgraded the software of the Tivo box to Virgin 360. This is literally software only. You get sent a snacky new Bluetooth remote hit 'upgrade' on the screen and off it goes. Now, things are not playing well. Typically when I turn on to watch Kodi the soundbar comes on (as it should) but the TV either puts out sound through its own speakers and the soundbar, or just the soundbar. It's not possible to control the volume of the soundbar through the TV. Also it's not longer possible to control Kodi using the TV remote. If I turn the TV360 box off, i.e. power it down, before turning on to watch Kodi, everything is fine. This makes little to no sense to me. My assumption is that the cheap *** HDMI switch is getting something from the TV360 connection that it didn't used to get when the software was Tivo and that's screwing up the HDMI communications. I'm upgrading the switch to something a little less chap, but wondered if anyone could validate my theory at all? TIA C

Issue with MSR UI becoming unresponsive
S
I'm having an issue with MSR's UI being very unresponsive. It started happening a couple days ago and I didn't make any changes that would have caused this except adding some meross lan devices in HA. When I go into an entity action and use the search functionality, it usually will start filtering and then get to a place after a few letters are entered where it will take 30 seconds or more (sometimes minutes) for the UI to show what I am typing. During this time MSR ui is completely unresponsive. I've tried multiple browsers and multiple computers. HA and MSR are both deployed in docker. I have run HTOP on the host and when the problem happens there are no CPU/Memory spikes at all. From a functionality standpoint MSR is working perfectly. This seems to be an UI issue only. Do i need to ditch Docker and run MSR on a Proxmox VM? I have both stand alone Docker and Proxmox environments. I dont mind doing that I just want to be able to use the UI again... Installation method Home Assistant Container Core 2025.7.3 Frontend 20250702.3 nothing crazy in the logs except some openweather map stuff that doesn't make any sense as it is working fine in MSR Any help would be greatly appreciated Reactor latest-25328-b2ed1365 app 25328 configuration from /var/reactor/config NODE_PATH /opt/reactor:/opt/reactor/node_modules [latest-25328]2025-11-30T20:01:53.843Z <app:null> Reactor build latest-25328-b2ed1365 starting on v24.11.1 /usr/local/bin/node [latest-25328]2025-11-30T20:01:53.844Z <app:null> Process ID 1 user/group 0/0; docker; platform linux/x64 #161-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jul 22 14:25:40 UTC 2025; locale (undefined) [latest-25328]2025-11-30T20:01:53.844Z <app:null> Basedir /opt/reactor; data in /var/reactor/storage [latest-25328]2025-11-30T20:01:53.844Z <app:null> NODE_PATH=/opt/reactor:/opt/reactor/node_modules [latest-25328]2025-11-30T20:01:53.865Z <app:null> Resolved timezone=America/New_York, environment TZ=America/New_York; offset minutes from UTC=-300 [latest-25328]2025-11-30T20:01:53.867Z <default:null> Module i18n v25141 [latest-25328]2025-11-30T20:01:53.867Z <app:null> Configured locale (undefined); selected locale(s) en-US.UTF-8 [latest-25328]2025-11-30T20:01:53.879Z <app:null> Loaded locale en-US for en-US [latest-25328]2025-11-30T20:01:53.879Z <app:null> Local date/time using configured timezone and locale formatting is "11/30/2025, 3:01:53 PM" [latest-25328]2025-11-30T20:01:53.889Z <Structure:null> Module Structure v25326 [latest-25328]2025-11-30T20:01:53.890Z <Capabilities:null> Module Capabilities v24312 [latest-25328]2025-11-30T20:01:53.904Z <Plugin:null> Module Plugin v25141 [latest-25328]2025-11-30T20:01:53.923Z <Timer:null> Module Timer v25279 [latest-25328]2025-11-30T20:01:53.924Z <TimerBroker:null> Module TimerBroker v25314 [latest-25328]2025-11-30T20:01:53.927Z <Entity:null> Module Entity v25251 [latest-25328]2025-11-30T20:01:53.929Z <Controller:null> Module Controller v25253 [latest-25328]2025-11-30T20:01:53.930Z <AlertManager:null> Module AlertManager v25318 [latest-25328]2025-11-30T20:01:53.937Z <default:null> Module Ruleset v25283 [latest-25328]2025-11-30T20:01:53.937Z <default:null> Module Rulesets v25141 [latest-25328]2025-11-30T20:01:53.942Z <GlobalExpression:null> Module GlobalExpression v25258 [latest-25328]2025-11-30T20:01:53.953Z <Predicate:null> Module Predicate v25328 [latest-25328]2025-11-30T20:01:53.956Z <Rule:null> Module Rule v25323 [latest-25328]2025-11-30T20:01:53.958Z <GlobalReaction:null> Module GlobalReaction v25292 [latest-25328]2025-11-30T20:01:53.959Z <Engine:null> Module Engine v25325 [latest-25328]2025-11-30T20:01:53.964Z <httpapi:null> Module httpapi v25328 [latest-25328]2025-11-30T20:01:53.972Z <wsapi:null> Module wsapi v25328 [latest-25328]2025-11-30T20:01:53.994Z <TaskQueue:null> Module TaskQueue 24138 [latest-25328]2025-11-30T20:01:53.994Z <VeraController:null> Module VeraController v25141 [latest-25328]2025-11-30T20:01:54.179Z <HassController:null> Module HassController v25325 [latest-25328]2025-11-30T20:02:13.797Z <OWMWeatherController:null> Module OWMWeatherController v25268 [latest-25328]2025-11-30T20:02:13.800Z <SystemController:null> Module SystemController v25323 [latest-25328]2025-11-30T20:02:13.807Z <MQTTController:null> Module MQTTController v22092 [latest-25328]2025-11-30T20:02:20.630Z <OWMWeatherController:CRIT> FetchError: request to https://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?lat=xxxxxxxxxx&lon=-xxxxxxxxx&appid=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx&units=standard&_r=1xxxxxxxxxxxxxxfailed, reason: [-] FetchError: request to https://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?lat=xxxxxxxxxxx&lon=-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx&appid=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx&units=standard&_r=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxfailed, reason: at ClientRequest.<anonymous> (/opt/reactor/node_modules/node-fetch/lib/index.js:1501:11) at ClientRequest.emit (node:events:508:28) at ClientRequest.emit (node:domain:489:12) at emitErrorEvent (node:_http_client:108:11) at TLSSocket.socketErrorListener (node:_http_client:575:5) at TLSSocket.emit (node:events:508:28) at TLSSocket.emit (node:domain:489:12) at emitErrorNT (node:internal/streams/destroy:170:8) at emitErrorCloseNT (node:internal/streams/destroy:129:3) at processTicksAndRejections (node:internal/process/task_queues:89:21

    I finally made the Domoticz link work, and then ported all Zigbee devices to the much better zigate plugin there. No change in latency at all, very sharp responses to door and motion sensors. Happy! 🙂

    This plugin has its own GUI, and is almost structurally standalone. I've contacted the developers to ask if its possible with a direct API and to run it as a service to cut domoticz out of the chain..

    I can now confirm that TRADFRI and Aqara will work together just fine, with repeaters helping for both systems:

    So, the resolution to the recent errors was that the UZB Stick was set up with "Bridge" firmware! to fix, go to ExpertUI - Network - Control - Firmware - Switch to "Normal" Firmware.
    I may have been blinded by the "F**k, nothing i try works", but i think this detail could be more visible to beginners in some way, i.e. a small pop-up message when you try to add sensors in a-way (which requires normal mode FW).. I will pitch this to the z-way guys.

    Onwards!

    Did this:
    @rafale77 said in z-way-server ubuntu install:

    @PerH

    The problem is that libcurl3 is not in the standard repo you have listed.
    assuming you are on ubuntu download it from here:

    Ubuntu – Error

    You need to pick from the correct platform.
    wget --url you can paste from the link above--

    i.e

    wget http://no.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/c/curl3/libcurl3_7.58.0-2ubuntu2_amd64.deb
    

    downloading from the norwegian mirror for x64

    Then run

    dpkg -i libcurl3_7.58.0-2ubuntu2_amd64.deb
    

    might need sudo authority to install.

    Edit: Another idiot way to do it is to not install libcurl3 at all and instead create a symbolic link for libcurl3 to call libcurl4 (That's how I am running mine 🤘 )

    sudo ln -s /usr/local/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcurl-gnutls.so.4 /usr/local/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcurl-gnutls.so.3
    
    sudo ln -s /usr/local/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcurl.so.4 /usr/local/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcurl.so.3
    

    Note that you will need to find where your libcurl library was installed. I just gave you the ubuntu location.

    and

    apt install curl
    systemctl disable openluup.service
    systemctl enable openluup.service
    systemctl start openluup.service
    

    up and running again. Now the appstore is OK too, commencing attempt 2 on z-way bridge.

  • openLuup Z-Way bridge: Version Log
    PerHP PerH

    There is an additional license for the Z-Way software, but I would say it is well worth it. My experience is that it's extremely stable (haven't crashed once in the years i've had it), and the control of the network through the expert panel is probably the best you can find.
    The "Smart Home" UI is not great, but it doesn't matter much if you're using openLuup. 🙂

    I finally reached the finishline for the move-to-docker project! 🙂
    All applications are now inside dockers, communicating on the internal docker network.

    This makes updates easy - just update to a newer docker image. (or update in the app, in the openLuup case)

    Backup is done by copying the docker volumes to an SSD along with the indluxDB.

    Restore to any machine running docker is in principle just attaching the USB devices - install ser2net, and running one docker-compose file. Everything is set up and ready to go. Tested on an Ubuntu installed machine, and it works!

    This will offcourse take a bit more disk-space, havent summed it up yet.. But i have no plans on running this on machines with tiny storage anyway.

    One thing i'd like to improve is to get the UZB into Ser2net as well, with the advantage of accessing it from my test-system as well. Z-Way unfortunately can't take IP-serial without Socat? mabye in later updates.

    I made this sketch to keep track of the system in progress, it might be usefull to others?

  • Another transition from Vera to OpenLuup And now to HASS - PerH
    PerHP PerH

    After about 7 years in the Vera/openLuup world i've now moved on to a home assistant installation. This was rather reluctantly, as openLuup has served me well with very few issues (other than ones I created myself off course!). A big thanks to @akbooer and all contributors for all the good work with this software!

    The main reason for jumping the fence to HASS was in short all the integrations and UI possibilities. The device handling for Zigbee and RFXtrx is also developing to be really good, and is still maintained.
    There is still plenty of annoying bugs/imperfections with HASS, but the maturity is at a level where most of what I need works well enough.
    My system is now:

    • HASS Container
      • Z-wave JS UI for z-wave (Still prefer Z-Way here, but the integration isn't good there yet)
      • ZHA for zigbee
      • RFXTRX plugin for 433

  • MSR in Alpine Docker
    PerHP PerH

    I have a docker running smoothly now, thought i'd share it. (and BTW, it looks awesome, Patrick!)
    So far i've only opened 8111, and /config as volume. Mabye the full /reactor folder should be exposed for easy updating?

    docker compose:

    version: "3.9"
    services:
      MSR:
        container_name: MSR
        restart: always
        image: perhu/msr-alpine:latest
        ports:
          - "8111:8111"
        networks:
          HAnett:
            ipv4_address: 192.168.0.8
        volumes:
          - type: bind
            source: /etc/localtime
            target: /etc/localtime
          - type: volume
            source: MSR-config
            target: /etc/reactor/config
          - type: volume
            source: MSR-storage
            target: /etc/reactor/storage
    logging:
            driver: "json-file"
            options:
                max-file: "5"
                max-size: 10m
    networks:
        HAnett:
            name: HAnett
            driver: bridge
            ipam:
                config:
                    - subnet: 192.168.0.0/16
                      gateway: 192.168.0.254
    volumes:
      MSR-config:
        name: MSR-config
      MSR-storage:
        name: MSR-storage
    

    dockerfile for those who want to modify the image: (this works if you have unzipped MSR zip file to the same folder as the dockerfile)

    FROM alpine:latest
    
    COPY /reactor/. /etc/reactor/
    
    RUN apk add --update nodejs npm && cd /etc/reactor \
            && npm install --loglevel error --no-save \
            && cp dist-config/* config/
    
    VOLUME ["/etc/reactor/config"]
    
    VOLUME ["/etc/reactor/storage"]
    
    EXPOSE 8111
    
    CMD ["/bin/sh"]
    
    WORKDIR /etc/reactor
    
    CMD ["node", "/etc/reactor/app.js"]

  • MSR in Alpine Docker
    PerHP PerH

    @LibraSun asked about MSR docker on synology in another thread. I don't know whats special on synology as i don't hvae one, but this is how you can do it on other linux systems (and please correct me if something's wrong in the write-up, im still learning here!):

    Start by downloading reactor from the bugtracker place and unzip it to an appropriate folder on the NAS called "/.../reactor/"
    Edit your /reactor/config/reactor.yaml with the appropriate settings
    In the same folder you have the /reactor/ sub folder, create a textfile called "dockerfile" (no extension)
    paste this in:

    FROM alpine:latest
    
    COPY /reactor/. /etc/reactor/
    
    RUN apk add --update nodejs npm && cd /etc/reactor \
           && npm install --loglevel error --no-save \
           && cp dist-config/* config/
    
    VOLUME ["/etc/reactor/config"]
    
    VOLUME ["/etc/reactor/storage"]
    
    EXPOSE 8111
    
    CMD ["/bin/sh"]
    
    WORKDIR /etc/reactor
    
    CMD ["node", "/etc/reactor/app.js"]
    

    save & close, and then type docker build -t your/image:version .

    Then you can make a docker-compose like mine in the above post, or you can use run command:
    docker run -p 8111:8111 your/image:version

    Note: @toggledbits prefers to keep control over MSR distribution through the alpha/beta testing, so publishing on dockerhub is not an option. You can have private repositories there as well in order to transfer an image between machines easily.

    I think so, yes. As simple as possible, unless we loose functionality, which i don't think is the case here?

  • How does MSR keep in sync with devices and scenes on Vera?
    PerHP PerH

    Isn't the vera updates based on polling? if so, it will only be updated at that interval.. I think the approach used in domoticz bridge is better, with some script on the host (domoticz in that case) yelling to the bridge on changes..

    Haven't touched my system for a while (or read updates here), busy with other projects..
    Just have to mention that I updated to the latest today and found the new entity selector tool... LOVE it! That has been my only nagging thing about reactor since vera reactor, all that scrolling..
    Thanks, @toggledbits, this is really turning into something VERY good!

  • Release 1.0.0
    PerHP PerH

    Haven't been able to do much helping on this for a while, but after installing the release docker, and moving the rest my automation to MSR i feel the need to say:
    GOOD JOB!
    Especially to Patrick, but also to all contributors.

    Automation is now very fast and intuitive to set up, and I still havent found anything i can't do with this. No bugs as far as i've seen yet either!

  • [Solved] Big change in my system - How to update MSR as best as possible?
    PerHP PerH

    I just gave up waiting for the HASS Z-wave.me integration to finish, and set up Zwave JS UI instead. In the same operation, all zigbee and 433 devices was moved from openluup to HASS as well, so all devices now have a new address.

    I thought I saw some "replace device" function in MSR earlier, but now I didnt find it?

    I've done a lot of the changes manually now, and removed openluup as a system, but at every restart I still get the warning/errors about the old units. I assume it's because rules ask for them? This is where that "replace this with this" would come in handy..

    Right now, my problem is that the rules i did update doesn't pull any levers in HASS. If I go in and run the action line in the rule manually, it works, but only with the arrow button on the actual action, not the common arrow button in "set reaction".

    Any tips/hints on making this transition easier is much appreciated. 🙂
