Thanks for that advice on the Hubitat. I had just looked at their list of supported devices and thought it was interesting that they didn’t have Schlage on there. They are sold out right now so it doesn’t look like I am going to buy one of those.

@toggledbits I understand that you do not perform testing on Mac computers but thought I'd share the following with you in case something can be done.
I started seeing these errors with version 24302. I thought that upgrading to 24343 would have fixed the issue but unfortunately not. I either have to close the browser or clear the cache for the errors to stop popping-up but they slowly come back.
I see these errors on the following browsers:

I've recently changed a couple of cams because better definition and I've found tha Reolink has a couple of cams that have spotlights. While the spotlights are driven by motion (so the cam could record in color), I wanted to drive them directly, so in case of any "security" event, like alarm on, door open, etc, I could use the lights to have a better video and make - you know - light.
So, if you want to use HTTP actions in VirtualController, just go to config, entities under your VirtualEntityController section in reactor.yaml, and add this:
- id: cams_retro_spotlights name: "Retro Cam - Spotlights" template: Binary Switch # update the status at interval http_request: interval: 900 # 15m url: "http://192.168.1.31/cgi-bin/api.cgi?user=foo&password=foo" method: "POST" force_json: true headers: "Content-Type": "application/json" "Accept": "application/json" body: '[{"cmd": "GetWhiteLed", "action": 0 , "param": { "channel": 0 }}]' capabilities: power_switch: attributes: state: expr: "isnull( response ) ? null : response[0]?.value?.WhiteLed?.state == 1" default: false actions: "on": http_request: url: "http://192.168.1.31/cgi-bin/api.cgi?user=foo&password=foo" method: "POST" force_json: true headers: "Content-Type": "application/json" "Accept": "application/json" body: '[{"cmd": "SetWhiteLed", "param": { "WhiteLed": {"bright" : 100, "channel": 0, "mode": 1, "state": 1}}}]' target: state expr: "isnull( response ) ? null: response[0]?.value?.rspCode == '200'" "off": http_request: url: "http://192.168.1.31/cgi-bin/api.cgi?user=foo&password=foo" method: "POST" force_json: true headers: "Content-Type": "application/json" "Accept": "application/json" body: '[{"cmd": "SetWhiteLed", "param": { "WhiteLed": {"bright" : 100, "channel": 0, "mode": 1, "state": 0}}}]' target: state expr: "isnull( response ) ? null : response[0]?.value?.rspCode == '200' ? false : null"Reolink has API where you have to post a JSON and the response will give you a JSON (in theory). It's not really JSON, so force_json: true will do the trick for you. I'm lefting this as an example of cool things you could do with the new capabilites added/documented in 24343. HTH.
Thanks to @toggledbits for adding a custom CSS. I've started doing a darker Reactor style.
Here's the file: https://gist.github.com/dbochicchio/825098ac13b7f8cac22012eae37ff7ce
A couple of things are still too bright and I'll eventually catch-up. Just place it under your /config directory, naming the file as customstyles.css. Hard refresh your browser.
Hi
Having to rebuild my Linux Debian box as the SSD failed. And I have forgotten exactly what I did the first time to get it all setup.
I have Debian 12 up and running on the new SSD, I only have console no Desktop GUI.
I am trying to do the bare metal install for MSR. However I am not sure if I am meant to install nodejs whlist logged in as the root user or as the none root user with my name ?
I used putty and connected via SSH and logged in as root and I installed nodejs but I think this was wrong as when logged in as my user name and I do a node -v command it says node is not installed or doesn't show any version number anyway.
But when logged in as root and I do a node -v command it does show me its installed and displays the version number. maybe its a path issue for my username and he can't see node is installed?
So now I am thinking I should of installed node whilst logged in as my user name and not as the root user.
This is how I installed nodejs as whilst logged in as root

Thanks in advance.
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.As the title says, here's my OpenAI Controller for Reactor:
OpenAI Controller per Reactor. Contribute to dbochicchio/reactor-openai development by creating an account on GitHub.
It supports both OpenAI and Azure OpenAI endpoints. You'll need keys/endpoints, according to each service.
The controller supports multiple models, and each one could be mapped as an entity.
It's quite easy to use, and responses can be stored in variables, for easy access. Or sent to another action (Text To Speech, another endpoint, etc).

Have fun with LLM into your scenes!
I've switched to a virtual entity with both power_switch and string_sensor capabilities to represent the current holiday.
The power switch is used to indicate if it's a public holiday (so, no school/work), while the string sensor is a string with the actual holiday (Easter, Christmas, Halloween, etc - we don't have thanksgiving), mostly to drive lights.
I build it with some static dates (mostly birthdays/anniversaries) and then the dynamics ones are taken from webcal.guru. My lights/scenes are linked to events this way and it's easier to manage it in the long run: just a bunch of group action in the reaction driving the lights. This part is outside Reactor for me (because, legacy), but it's not difficult to completly drive it off a virtual sensor or a custom controller.
I don't know how people are doing this, but I'm lefting a note for the ones looking for a working solution.
In Home Assistant I have an integration that if I add entities to it, I will get the following error in MSR as certain entity values I'm using in expressions are null for a moment. This is more or less cosmetic issue and happens very rarely as I rarely modify that integration on the hass side.
Screenshot 2024-11-28 at 22.20.41.png
And the expression is
Screenshot 2024-11-28 at 22.38.19.png
Could I "wrap" hass-entity shown above somewhat differently to prevent this error from happening? Using build 24302.
Hello
I am trying to set up Multi System Reactor to automate routines across multiple smart home devices & platforms (e.g., Home Assistant, SmartThings, and Hubitat). While I have successfully linked the systems; I am facing issues with:
-Delays in triggering actions on secondary devices.
-Inconsistent execution of complex logic conditions.
-Synchronization of states between devices when one system updates.
Is there a recommended way to optimize performance & confirm seamless state sharing across systems?
I have checked https://smarthome.community/category/22/multi-system-reactor-msbi guide for reference but still need advice.
Any tips on debugging or log analysis to pinpoint where the issue arises would also be appreciated.
Thank you !
Hello AK
Have been writing about the openLuup email server as I was tinkering with it the other day. One minor problem: it looks like the domain part of the email address eg ...@openLuup.local is case sensitive in openLuup.
Looking round the net, it suggests that the local part is case sensitive but the domain part is not meant to be. To keep things so they are more likely to work, it's suggested the email address should be totally case insensitive regardless. Refer to rfc2821 page 13 or search on the word "sensitive". Suffice to say I was using mail@openluup.local rather than mail@openLuup.local, so it didn't work for me.
Next challenge was that the file saved in /etc/cmh-ludl/mail has "Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64" so the body of the email was encoded:
Received: from ((openLuup.smtp) [ip_address_1] by (openLuup.smtp v18.4.12) [ip_address_2]; Tue, 26 Nov 2024 14:21:22 +1000 From: "dali@switchboard" <dali@switchboard> To: "mail@openLuup.local" <mail@openLuup.local> Subject: Warning form R2E. MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 QXV0byBXYXJuaW5nOiBDb2xkIHN0YXJ0IGV2ZW50The above base 64 text translates to "Auto Warning: Cold start event".
Is it your preference to leave the saved files in the raw mode or would you consider translating the base64 text in the openLuup code base?
On a side note, does the reception of an email by openLuup generate some sort of trigger that can be watched. In the case above; the email represents the restoration of power after a power outage. I would like to know about that by the email triggering a "Telegram" notification on my mobile.
I see that the images@openLuup.local images@openLuup.local can be associated with I_openLuupCamera1.xml, which spawns a movement detector child. Anything similar for the other email addresses?
I've managed to use MSR UI on iOS devices to some degree*, so that although UI elements (e.g. rule sets) are not visible in portrait mode, you've seen them in landscape. Now with recents builds (24302) this does not work anymore, elements (rule sets, entities) are not anymore visible in landscape mode.
Does anyone have similar experiences? Using iOS 18 and Safari/Chrome browser.
( *Drag & drop of rule conditions have never worked on a mobile)
@toggledbits Since I have upgraded ZWaveJSController to 24293 from 24257 I am seeing entries related to registering action set_volume, but action is not defined by the capability 143 every time I restart Reactor.
The Siren seems to be doing what it is supposed to do. The volume levels are fine. Should I worry about it?
Reactor version 24302
ZWaveJSController version 24293
Z-Wave JS UI version 9.27.4
zwave-js version 14.3.4
I have an oven that I need to manage the temperature of, keeping it in the neighborhood of 600° C (1100° F). I have not been able to find a Zigbee-enabled solution to measure temps that high. Does anyone know if such a thing exists? If not, any ideas for how to roll a custom solution that I could integrate into a Sonoff ihost controller? I have no trouble finding high temperature probes, but none of them interface with my automation stack.
Hi All
Hopefully this place looks like a helpful forum as I’m quite new to all this!
I’ve had a few devices all working separately /through their proprietary apps but we’re just finishing off a large house extension and this has added to the list.
I’d ideally like to be able to view/switch a number of different devices on one screen/head end but have no idea where to start.
The devices we have/will have shortly are as follows;
Zigbee Smart Sockets
Zigbee smart switches (for lights)
Heatmiser Neo Underfloor Heating (this runs from a Samsung ASHP but that part is automatic)
Samsung VRF air conditioning (currently using Smart Things App)
Hive (2xLTHW heating circuits in the existing house and Hot Water)
Ring (doorbell!)
Hik Vision PoE CCTV
We have lots of appliances (Neff N70) which we can control remotely but not too fussed about controlling those at the
Moment)
Any help/recommendations would be appreciated!
Thanks
Adrian
After a major hassle got z-way running on my ubuntu 16 VM with a USB pasthough UZB1 stick including license and connected to Vera...
I see:
I also see:
0d6e8c78-c8cd-4307-9474-23e0d6a55094-image.png
But how do I update that?
e09ffa19-a31d-4a03-8983-01228bc5478f-image.png
I have a legacy home automation set-up running on Windows XP. the computer and software have now died.
I have written a very nice Excel VBA program to replace the software and it can run on any modern Windows system.
My only remaining problem is to output the correct signal to a USB port to trigger the wireless switches.
Has anybody done a similar exercise. Please help.
The locksmith is trying to persuade me to purchase the BE-TECH K35 touchscreen lock with both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, claiming it's better than the Yale Assure Lock 2. What are your thoughts on this? Which one would you recommend?
Here is the link to the Chinese brand BE-TECH: BE-TECH Smart Deadbolt K3S.
The other smart lock I am considering is the Schlage Encode Plus.
Thank you!

Neighbour node setting -
Neighbour node settingOK. Thanks. I am going to look at the other hubs. Hubitat, I doesn’t appear to support Schlage locks. I remember when I looked at Homeseer about 10 years ago, it was a windows based product. This may have changed. The HomeSeer products sure look nice now. It is probably between that and the Zwaveme. The Zwaveme doesn’t look as polished of a web page but...
I like that Homeseer has been around for so long and they say their product works with dozens of zwave devices.The devices I am most concerned about are:
Evolve - LFM-20 (not Zwave Plus)
Fortrezz WV-01 water cutoff (Not Zwave plus)
Schlage locks Zwave plus and older versions
First alert Zwave smoke detectors.and to a lesser extent but it would be nice
Aeotec SmartEnergy Switch (their first generation one that is big. I believe it was Aeon labs DSC06106-ZWUS)I assume they will all work with the GE light switches.
Plus, I want it to have an OS X app -
Neighbour node settingI did the whole network neighbor update and it didn’t work. I am going to try replacing that thermostat tomorrow. It could just be defective I didn’t like that it didn’t show the neighbors when I first paired it. I would have expected it to that since the other thermostats shows its neighbors. . What I don’t know if it it the other thermostat showed them right away. One of the big problems with Vera is they just aren’t very transparent on what the controller is doing and/or what works and doesn't work. I wish they had a system were you could see all the reported bugs so you don’t waste hours trying to debug something that will never work. I wasted a lot of time with my new Schlage Zwave Plus lock. Vera had to give me a beta release to fix it. - I am going to look at your reviews of the different hubs. I want to look at Hubitat and open source Home Assistant. - Vera is especially bad with older non-Zwave + devices. Are these other hubs OK with that? I don’t want to have to replace all my switches and I have an expensive water cutoff. The Vera gives strange errors for the water cutoff. Plus, they have the notifications wrong. When I turn the water off, it tells me I turns it on. Thanks again.

Neighbour node settingThank you again for all your help.
This shouldn’t be rocket science. This system only has approximately 11 devices. Although, more than half of them are batteries. 2 locks, 3 smoke detectors, 2 thermostats, 4 light switches. I made sure the light switches were evenly spaced so I would get a good mesh network of devices that always had power. I just did the system wide network neighbor update. Keeping my fingers crossed. I guess if this doesn’t work, I am going to swap out this thermostat. I didn’t like that this thermostat didn’t show its neighbor even when I paired it. The other thermostat shows it. None of the smoke detectors (Zwave Plus) show the network neighbors. I noticed the locks that are also Zwave plus don’t show neighbors. - I am not sure if that is a Vera issue or a Zwave issue. Clearly some battery devices show the neighbors so you would think they all would. I wish Zwave was more strict on making manufacturers implement al the zwave features. It has gotten better since Zwave plus but still not perfect. Friends that have Lutron products love it. They say it works 100% of the time. -
Neighbour node settingI am not sure. It is the Radio Thermostat CT100. It isn’t Zwave Plus.
https://2gig.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/CT100-Operation-Guide.pdfLike you said, since it is always ready to accept commands to change the temperature, I suspect it is.
I liked the user interface and that is why I chose it. Plus, this location doesn’t have a C wire so I had to do battery. It definitely works better if you have a C wire and can then pair it without batteries.
I tried doing what you said and it didn’t work. What bugs me is I even did the update neighbors on the device that is unreachable gave me a “success.” Clearly, it wasn’t a success because the device is not even reachable so it couldn’t even try.
Any other suggestions? Should I try doing a update network neighbors in the Zwave settings on the controller for the whole system?
I spoke to a tech support person on Friday and told me there is no way to update the network neighbors and the system does it automatically at 1 or 2 am.
I question if that was really accurate. Again, if it was, the they should remove update network neighbor options from the UI on all the devices and in the Zwave setting for the controller.
So frustrating because these things are difficult to change. They need to rename the product Almost. -
Neighbour node settingDoes update neighbors even work anymore with the individual devices? I select the individual device (light switch). The Device Options -> Update Neighbors. It says that it is updating them but I am not seeing anything on top of the UI.
In Settings -> Logs -> I have Show Polling and Show Individual Jobs checked. -
Neighbour node settingThe device I am adding is a CT100 battery operated thermostat. I moved my controller close to it when I paired it. I wonder if I should have did the update network neighbors on the close switched before I moved my controller back to its normal place in the house. As soon as I moved the controller, the thermostat was no longer reachable.
-
Neighbour node settingThis what bothers me about Vera. There is no clear directions or even an FAQ on how to fix things. They shouldn’t allow you to edit neighbors if it does nothing. How hard would it be for them to remove the edit function on that one line of the UI! It could be such a great product if they would simply make a few changes.
-
Neighbour node settingThank you for responding. It is frustrating that Vera either gives you an error when you select something on the UI that is no longer supported and/or they even allow you to do it when it isn’t supported.
On the device that is currently unreachable, the error on the UI is, “Can’t Detect Device.” Am I suppose to trigger the node update on the device I can’t reach on that specific device or under Settings -> Zwave settings -> Advanced -> Update Neighbor Nodes?
On all the devices, under Advanced -> Neighbors, there is an edit button on the UI. What does this do if anything if I edit the Neighbors on the device I can’t reach or on a device really close to the device the controller can reach? My plan was to manually tell a device that the controller can’t reach who isn’t neighbors were or a device the controller can reach put in the device that is currently unreachable.
