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 thanks that works great (the workaround). One slight typo though, you have script instead of scene in the graphic.

Ok 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...

Here 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?

So 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?

OK I dont know what happened. I tried it again and it worked??? SMH...

I'm trying to send a video overlay to BlueIris. BI is receving my MQTT Message and it is writing it to a Macro but it doesnt appear that I can use expressions in MQTT Payloads with Reactor?

Output from BlueIris (no expression data):

I figured a workaround by using HTTP GET but I just wondered if I am doing something wrong with getting expression variables to work with MQTT.

This works with BlueIris:

BlueIris returns actual expression data:

Thanks that was it. For some reason Home Assistant was configured with Debug logging on and the log file was 267GB on a 512gb drive. SMH...

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 = 17.6M

If I run df on the docker container I get this. Disk space is not critical

What gives?

Thanks! 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?

I'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.
