Went with Patrick's suggested approach. I do like the old reactor a bit better for this instance. Less clutter. Sure there was a technical reason to do it this way. Guess I can create multiple rule sets to group them by.

EDIT: 2022.07.01
So I will try to remake this thread to some kind of guide for future use, or in worst case a documentation of my failure. At least that could also be useful for letting someone know what didn't work...
I have zero knowledge of programming, so every time I need to edit a config file in HomeAssistant or similar it requires a good portion of googletime and read, re-reading instructions.
Also is english not my native language, so bear with me.Two goals!
1: Get MSR to take notice (and then actions of course) of pressed buttons on remotes.
2: Document what I do in hope I can help someone else in the future.I will use a Fibaro Keyfob as described below, but what I understand from Togglebits answers most type of remotes should work in similar ways.
Original thread:
Fibaro Keyfob support in MSR? (thru Hassio & Z-wave JS)
HiI just bought a Fibaro Keyfob FGKF-601 and plan to give this to my son so he can control some stuff in his own room. Primary some lightning and Sonos, maybe blinds in the future.
As the noob I am it will, of course, not work as I expected.👶🏻
The remote handle 1x, 2x, 3x clicks per button (six of them) and "release button"
I thought that it would appear like some "scene controller" in HA and that I could make Rules in MSR depending on what scene-entety that was triggered.
So is not the case, and if that is because of HA, Z-wave JS or MSR I have no idea.
I found a HA Blueprint that works in HA, but of course I would prefer to keep all automation in MSR.
I guess a workaround could be using HA virtual switches "Helpers" that I suppose will come up as an on/off trigger in MSR, but before going this way I would like to check with the wisdom of your guys if there is a better way of doing this.I am using:
MSR 22168 on windows.
Home Assistant Core 2022.6.7
Home Assistant Supervisor 2022.05.3
Home Assistant OS 7.6
Z-Wave JS version: 0.1.64 -
Need to ask, have thougth about this since the move from Rector to MSR I think.
What is the difference between putting constraints under trigger groups, like this
23b4a249-3292-41cd-9927-7f49c9bf1d07-image.pngCompared to this similar rule, but the time limits is under contraints instead?
ee596c9f-f52b-4a39-9605-f5932f3d9ed5-image.pngI think the Constraints parts in manual is still to be done because I can only find in the chapter menu, but it is not mentioned anywhere else.

Running MSR 22123 in Docker container and trying to use "condition must occur after" option. Will update to the latest build and log a PR if needed, but wanted to poll first if anyone is using this option successfully?
I have the following rules:
Screenshot 2022-06-28 at 15.18.50.png
Notification activity connected to "Alarm disabled" rule did not trigger. I also did another test with quite simple rules and that didn't work either (FWIIW - when observing that test in "real-time", I didn't see any timer running on the second rule while the first rule was true).
As said, before going further with debug/logs, nice to know if someone is using this option/restriction (successfully).

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. -
Before updating to 22178 there was a primary value echoed in MQTTControllers echo capability, can I tell the controller which value to put as primary from HASS sensors after this change as it now is null? or is it a bug?
I have not changed the
primary_attributes: trueReactor latest-22178 bare metal
Hass 2022.6.7Edit: Solved in build 22179

Hi!
I have a system that I consider pretty stable, running in a VM Ubuntu 20.04, it has some communication failures, but I think more by HE than by the OS/MSR.
I'm thinking of taking the next step to get more advantages from the system, and I'm thinking of using InfluxDB maybe for queries or to extend rules.
The question is, I would like practical examples of what really helps to install InfluxDB? What would you be doing that really makes a difference with this installation? Can you post examples of features or information?
Thanks

Hi Everyone,
MSR had a docker image file naming convention change, and I am not exactly sure how to swap the image out. I'm sure it's not rocket science, I've just never done this before.
I am using a Synology NAS, and under the environment tab there is a "REACTOR_IMAGE" variable. Can I just change the image name to the new image naming convention and clear the container, or should I launch a new container and populate the volume location from the previous reactor?
Thanks in advance

Please can anyone give me advice on a cheap way to run MSR (both initial cost and ongoing electricity cost). I currently run it on my QNAP network drive (which works very well incidentally). However, this draws a constant 35Watts (£90/yr @ 30p/kWh) and given the recent rise in fuel costs I am evaluating the best way forwards. Note, I only really need to turn my QNAP on for an hour a week to back-up my computer data. I understand that MSR can run on a Raspberry PI, but I am not competent with Linux! Thanks.

I have made good progress setting up a new Raspberry PI 4 with the latest OS (64bit) and latest Reactor images in Docker. However I am not able to copy my configuraiton files (.yml) and reactor reactions over. I am not yet that confident with linux commands, so I have tired to drag and drop the files from a USB drive to the working folders in my new Raspberry PI. I am getting a popup in the GUI stating 'The file operation was completed with errors.' and Errors occured: "rule-xxxxxx.json: Error opening file "/home/pi/reactor/....................................json":Permission denied.
I suspect it's something to do with permissions?
Is there an easier way to copy my configuration over??

Wanted to check if was day or night and figured I would use:
local altitude = luup.variable_get(SID.SOLAR, 'ALT', ID.OPEN_LUUP)If altitude is positive it's day, else it's night. However when I read these variables they are incorrect for my locale. The actual values for sunset and midday are correct but do not occur at sunset or midday. I have checked the clock that openLuup uses and it's correct.
Now the time for midday is one hour out and the time for sunset is 13 hours out.
I checked this by getting the UNIX epoch for my location for both sunset and midday and then adding the hours of offset and then called:
local ID = { OPEN_LUUP = 2 } local SID = { OPEN_LUUP = "openLuup", SOLAR = "solar" } --local localTime = my_epoch_for_midday + (3600*1) local localTime = my_epoch_for_sunset + (3600*13) local coords = {Epoch = localTime, '', Latitude = '', Longitude = ''} luup.call_action(SID.SOLAR, "GetSolarCoords", coords, ID.OPEN_LUUP) local altitude = luup.variable_get(SID.SOLAR, 'ALT', ID.OPEN_LUUP) local azimuth = luup.variable_get(SID.SOLAR, 'AZ', ID.OPEN_LUUP) print('New altitude: '..altitude) print('New azimuth: '..azimuth)and I get the right answers.
Not sure what I'm doing wrong. Or perhaps there is some code mix up with UTC versus local time. I checked the documentation but no mention of the solar variables.
If I look at the chart it looks like the whole thing is correct but shifted by my timezone. However I wouldn't expect the timezone to come into play in these calculations.
Feature request: would like to see an openLuup variable that is true for day and false for night. eg IsDay

Hello All -
I'm gradually moving away from Vera to Home Assistant. I've recently gotten the Alexa and Mini Media Player setup in Home Assistant and everything is working well.
Is there a way to call this service from Reactor? My goal is to send TTS requests to HAAS upon certain events within Reactor (e.g. "Front Door Opened")

It appears that in the Manual, under Management>Network Status is for Reactor on Vera. Is the Internet check functionality available with MSR and if so is there updated instructions? I do see a variable reactor_system.internet.ok but the value is null.

Windows Server 2022 Build 20348
Nodejs v16.14.0
Currently running Reactor (Multi-hub) stable-22119-ae7212f
Linked to Hass 2022.0.5.4 (on a different box)
Windows server is dedicated to MSR and doesn't do anything else.I'd like to upgrade to 22136 to take advantage of the SSL feature added recently, and also to bring my current version of Hass into the 'supported' column with MSR.
Following the instructions here: link text, section "Upgrade Windows Bare Metal"
Stop Reactor Service Extract the zip, overwriting the reactor folder in c:\reactor\reactor There is no package-lock.json file so I skip that. Run "npm install --no-save --omit dev"Next step is to start the service. I start the service and it immediately stops. "Windows could not start the Reactor service on Local Computer. Error 1067: The process terminated unexpectedly".
Tried rebooting, service won't stay running.
I suspect I'm missing something, it's probably obvious but I've not been able to figure it out.
I rolled back the reactor folder version (Windows Shadow copies) and then the service starts fine.
Anyone else running Windows and know what I'm missing?

Hello Patrick,
On the status page rule history is there any adjustably on length of the history shown? I had an occasion where it would have been helpful to go a few notches farther back than it does as currently configured.
I don't know if this is a log parser or if it is a separate smaller data set. If it is a log parser, any chance for maybe something like a "more" button?
Thanks,
Mike

Replacing Deus Ex Machina with MSR?
@LibraSun
Hello, You had a post on the Hubitat forum where you stated this" I realize I'm responding to an old thread, but it bears mentioning that Multi-System Reactor (MSR) indeed has the built-in ability to act as a virtual Deus Ex Machina. If the OP is still contemplating methodologies, that's certainly one I would recommend pursuing."Am moving off of Vera to Home Assistant and curious how you are using MSR to replace Deus Ex Machina? Is there something built in that I didn't see in the documentation?
Thanks,

How to use the "latch" option/output mode
Hello,
Likely a very obvious solution
I need so help setting up logic. Monitoring 2 parameters A and B.If A and B go true, turn on switch
I want it to remain true until both A and B go false.I think it should be done with latch but struggling with how to implement it in MSR.

RE: Setting Other State Variables on Vera / Hubitat
Quick question. I am in process of moving from Vera to HA. I want to do something similar so I can keep my Homewave dashboard on the wall mounted ipad mini in the kitchen. Have created a virtual dimmer in switchboard and can capture the dimming level into a expression. How do I pass that to the physical dimmer switch I want to control? Have tried set_load_level_target to expression name but that doesn't work. Any hints?

MSR ZEN32 weird behavior
@toggledbits
Hi Patrick,
Running HASS 2022.5.3
MSR zwavejs-22126-834c3e9Seeing weird behavior in MSR with regards to my Zen32's. Not sure how to capture info that might be relevent but will describe what I am seeing.
In the example below I pressed scene 001 4 times. It flashed and changed the primary value to "4". The remaining buttons were previously showing the PV as "double" I pushed each button one time and they flashed and displayed the PV as 4.
In the zwavejs2mqtt debug screen that sequence looks like this.
2022-05-10 09:38:44.078 INFO ZWAVE: Node 45: value notification: 91-0-scene-001 5 2022-05-10T16:38:44.081Z CNTRLR « [Node 045] received CentralScene notification { "nodeId": 45, "ccId": "Central Scene", "ccCommand": "0x03", "payload": "0x898501" } 2022-05-10 09:38:45.982 INFO ZWAVE: Node 45: value notification: 91-0-scene-002 0 2022-05-10T16:38:45.984Z CNTRLR « [Node 045] received CentralScene notification { "nodeId": 45, "ccId": "Central Scene", "ccCommand": "0x03", "payload": "0x8a8002" } 2022-05-10 09:38:47.807 INFO ZWAVE: Node 45: value notification: 91-0-scene-003 0 2022-05-10T16:38:47.810Z CNTRLR « [Node 045] received CentralScene notification { "nodeId": 45, "ccId": "Central Scene", "ccCommand": "0x03", "payload": "0x8b8003" } 2022-05-10 09:38:48.858 INFO ZWAVE: Node 45: value notification: 91-0-scene-004 0 2022-05-10T16:38:48.861Z CNTRLR « [Node 045] received CentralScene notification { "nodeId": 45, "ccId": "Central Scene", "ccCommand": "0x03", "payload": "0x8c8004" }
Let me know what other info you would like me to supply.
I have played around with a bunch of other key stroke combo's and it looks like buttons 2-5 display what ever button 1 is set to.
Have tested this on 4 different ZEN32's and it is same on all. -

RE: HASS 2022.5 issue with ZwaveJS in MSR
Patrick,
As far as I know everything is set up the same as it was before I upgraded to HA 2022.5. I did reinstall Zwave2mqtt because of a version issue. But it is set up as it was prior. WS is enabled and listening on port 3000 which matches the reactor.yaml config.These lines in the log are the only thing I see related to this issue. Everything before and after is rules evaluations.

This repeats itself periodically but not seeing any additional zwavejscontroller messages.
For the zwavejs test, where there any additional configuration requirements that are not included in the manual?
Any additional logging I can enable, or additional info I can provide?Next step is to roll back HASS version to 2022.4 that was working.

HASS 2022.5 issue with ZwaveJS in MSR
Running zwavejs-22118-baab576 in MSR, HASSOS 2022.5.1
Due to an unreported issue in HASS, when I upgraded the 2022.5 yesterday, it dropped ZwaveJS2MQTT from my HASSOS build. Finally got it reinstalled and it appears to be working the way it was previously.
MSR is now showing zwavejs down and in entities, nothing is updating.Seeing this in the logs:
ZWaveJSController#zwavejs ws_open caught [Error]Error: connect ECONNREFUSED 192.168.0.16:3000Are there additional steps needed that are not mentioned in the manual?
At a loss to figure out what is causing issue. -
RE: Notifications from Alerts
I am running a z-wave.me hat on a rpi. That is the device that is loosing connectivity occasionally. Since it is intermittent, it is hard to find a time when it occurs that I can look at the error and try to figure out the syntax of local expression. Anyone know of a commend that I can run from the terminal in HASS OS to kill the connection to force the error that won't screw up my zwave after a reboot?
