So I have a strange one here and I don't know if there is a way to do this or not. I have blue iris triggering a vera virtual switch when AI detects motion on my front porch. Reactor then triggers the light, this works perfect. I want to shut the light off when there is no motion, this also works perfect. What I am having am issue with is when someone turns on the light manually I don't want it to turn off after motion is detected. Example: we are expecting a pizza so we turn on the porch light. 5 min later amazon delivers a package, trips motion. 10 min later Reactor is going to turn off the light. If I manually turn on the light before motion is detected I do not want reactor to turn it off. For the life of me I cannot figure the logic out. Does anyone have any ideas?

@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

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!

Have reactor shut off a light with no motion unless I turned it on manually -
Help with controlling Hue lights through Home Assistant & Reactor@toggledbits thanks that works great (the workaround). One slight typo though, you have script instead of scene in the graphic.

Help with controlling Hue lights through Home Assistant & ReactorOk so I am trying to do something that I think is simple but apparently not LOL. I want to turn a hue light on yellow when a condition is met. Basically we have really high humidity here in the evenings. When the garage door is open and the humidity is over 60% then I want my hue garage door light to be yellow. If below 60% then I want it to be white. This is simple enough.
Here is my problem. I cannot find anyway to control the hue color directly from Reactor. There is an x_hass_light.turn_on function but it doesn't do anything when you define a color.
No problem, I will create a scene in Home Assistant and set my color there, then call that scene from Reactor. (Not elegant, but will work). Created a scene, works great and sets my color the way I want it.
I go back into Reactor -> Entity Action -> Garage Door Yellow (scene name) and then there is this annoying little box that requires a selection when there is no selection available. There is nothing for me to select and I cannot save because it is expecting input.
Can anyone give me some advice on how to accomplish what I am trying to do? I would like a way to do this 100% in reactor (set the light to a color of my choosing) but I am OK with a workaround by using HA scenes. I just need it to work without asking me for a section input that isnt there.
My next step is to create a virtual switch in Vera, then create a an automation in HA that will trigger my color. Then use Reactor to trigger the virtual switch... I think that is kludge and will likely confuse me months later when I go to edit a rule and forget this workflow...

Issue with yellow triangles next to rulesHere is the crazy thing. The sensor values were stale, I changed a value in the rule and then saved it. Now there isn't an exclamation point and the sensor value is updating as well. Almost like it was stuck after the upgrade?

Issue with yellow triangles next to rulesSo I upgraded to the latest docker version of Reactor. Now I notice that some of my rules have a yellow triangle before them. I hovered over it but I don't see any explanation as to why. I searched the docs and the forum but I can't figure out why it is showing. If I go into the rule I don't see any errors. Any ideas?

This works with BlueIris:

Disk Warning on Multisystem Reactor
For the life of me I cannot figure this out.
when I run the du -hs command (from the host) for the mapped volume I get 25M
(/home/seth/ReactorConfig maps to /var/reactor)Inside the container I ran du -hs for each of the folders that the ui is complaining about
/opt/reactor = 71.2M
/var/reactor/storage = 2.9M
/var/reactor/logs = 17.6MIf I run df on the docker container I get this. Disk space is not critical
What gives?

Home Assistant Script, Reaction requires seclection that isnt thereThanks! I got the scripts working now so I have a way, although ugly as it is.. I did setup MQTT in reactor but the documentation has me very confused. I don't know how to create a template or anything like that. I basically just want to be able to publish a value that I specify to aqualinkd/Filter_Pump/RPM/set. Is there an easy way to make that work?
-
Home Assistant Script, Reaction requires seclection that isnt thereI'm trying to create some automation so I can control my pool variable speed pump from reactor rather than iAqualink (which sucks). My controller is MQTT enabled so I created several scripts for my desired speeds. (I know reactor has MQTT ability but honestly I read the docs and could not make much sense of it and since I already have it set up in Home Assistant, I figured I would just leverage that instead)
So I created all of my scripts and tested them, they worked perfectly. The I created a rule in reactor and set running the script as the action. The problem is that reactor is telling me that I have to make a selection. I try to click the dropdown and there is nothing to select. I cant save the rule, the only option is to exit.
Here is my script in Home Assistant. Any advice on how to get this to work? If I am looking at this the wrong way I am open to suggestions (I would rather be able to call a specific action and specify a speed value but I cannot figure out how to do that). Thanks in advance.
