Update: This was not a Reactor issue and Home Assistant was having the problem loading also. It is now working normally in Mac OS 26.4.

Is this the proper place to ask for a feature request? I think it would be useful to have VEC Virtual switches to have an option for an Auto Off setting. Thanks

I use Virtual Entity Controller virtual switches which I turn on via webhooks from other applications. Once a switch triggers and turns on, I can then activate associated rules.
I would like each virtual switch to automatically turn off after a configurable time (e.g., 5 seconds, 10 seconds).
Is there a better way to achieve this auto-off behavior instead of creating a separate rule for each switch that uses the 'Condition must be sustained for' option to turn it off?
With a large number of these switches (and the associated turn-off rules), I'm checking to see if there is a simpler approach.If not, could this be a feature request to add an auto-off timer directly to the virtual switches.
Thanks

@toggledbits I tried the Clear Local Storage and a hard-refresh and still have the same result. I am attaching a new screenshot of the web inspector where I saw some errors just in case it means something to you.

I don't know why it works for some on Safari but seems work for all with other browsers. Is there anything else you can think of for me to check?

Thank you for responding with your experiences @CatmanV2 @therealdb and @gwp1 !

I guess I never noticed before as I thought they used to update.
The rules function so just visual.
Thank You for the information.

@CatmanV2 Can you try Safari on a Mac Desktop or the IOS. It does it on both on my setup.

Thanks

@toggledbits Confirming that is while the Loading Reactor screen. See Screenshot:
And two more screenshots of the web inspector.

Understand you not having apple products, So Thank You!

When starting MSR, I started getting “Loading Reactor” Screen everytime. Pressing refresh multiple times the page will load or click on any of the menu links and the status page will then display and everything will work normally. It appears to be a safari only issue as it loads fine in chrome. I don’t know exactly when it stared, if it was updating to one of the newer builds or updating the Mac to 26.1. This is probably not a MSR problem but I thought I would share in case. Cleared cache, hard reset browser, private window and restarted MSR. Below is a screenshot of the web console while stuck. The error that says Object does not exist, the rule is there and functioning.

Thanks,

When viewing a rule, the constraints conditions do not match the current state of the entities. After the rule runs then they will display what the state of the entity was when the rule fired but otherwise they do not update to show the current state. While editing the rule the entities show the correct state and they will change state in the editor window. The rule functions but visually does not look correct. I believe they used to show the current value when viewing the rule. I have tried Safari and Chrome browsers, hard refreshed the browsers, restarted MSR.
Screenshot showing that Motion Overide constraint is false but actual state is true. (Rule has not executed yet.)
Screenshot after rule execution:

Is this the intended behavior?

No hurry sir, Just reporting.

I am getting a Runtime error on different browsers when I click exit when editing an existing or creating a new global reaction containing a group. If the global reaction does not have a group I don't get an error. I see a similar post on the forum about a Runtime Error when creating reactions but started a new thread as that appears to be solved.

The Runtime Error is different in the two browsers
Safari v18.3

I don’t know how long the error has been there as I haven’t edited the global reaction in a long time.

Yes, I would be interested.

@sethlampman I use multiple rules and a global expression to hold the current state of the light that I set when different events happen. When motion triggers the light I set the global expression to “auto”. When the light comes on with no motion then it must of been turned on manually so that rule sets the expression to “man” I then have rules to to shut the light off for when motion happend and another rule for when it was turned on manually with different delays. When the light is off I set the global expression to idle. Does this give you any ideas for your situation?

@tamorgen If I understand what you are asking correctly, Look under the reactor_system for reactor_system.update_available=true and use that as a rule trigger to send a notification.

Installation of Reactor build 23049 and configuring a virtual switch as a probe device appears to be working well.
FYI, The "Manual" link in the Reactor UI doesn't have the updated docs that are linked to in the Release notes thread. Hubitat Controller, Other Configuration, probe_device section. I have tried a hard reset in safari and Firefox browsers but the documentation is not the updated instructions. Thank You.

With all due respect and I do mean that and without beating this to death, I am only seeing the attributes that update when MSR probes are the baseData attributes witch per the Hub information driver’s documentation are (attributes: firmwareVersionString, hardwareID, id, latitude, localIP, localSrvPortTCP, locationId, locationName, longitude, name, temperatureScale, timeZone, type, uptime, zigbeeChannel, zigbeeEui, zigbeeId, zigbeeStatus, zipCode). I can find these attributes updating in the logs every time. Some examples of attributes that are not updating are publicIP and hubUpdateVersion among others. I use those attributes in rules and they do not update. I can not find evidence of these being updated in the logs or driver unless you set the poll time for these to very fast interval as I tried to document in the previous post. I do believe the next scheduled poll time is accurate and the attributes associated with the polls will not update until that time. Probably the best thing to do is to revert to the v2 driver.

It looks like when MSR probes the device, it then resets the next scheduled poll times to the time of the probe + whatever time you have set to poll in the device preferences. If you have small poll times then the polls might fire between MSR polls. Here is the filtered Hubitat log showing which polls run. lastPoll: baseData is when MSR does the probe. The first part of the log is with the poll:1 time is set at 9 minutes. If the time elapsed since a MSR probe > than 9 minutes then the poll:1 will run. It ran once at 06:45:15. I then changed the poll1 time from 9 mins to 3 mins at 8:00pm to test. You can see it ran more often but I don't know why the baseData slowed way down also.

I am not looking for an immediate fix or change, Just trying to communicate to you what I am seeing.

Would it be an option to write your own virtual device driver for Hubitat so you could probe that device and return the data you want for the health check?

I am running the latest version of the driver: v3.0.14.
It appears to me when MSR probes the device or if you press configure in the driver, all the new scheduled poll times increase causing them never to run. I have my poll times set as follows: poll1: 9 mins, poll2: 119 mins, poll3: 241 mins, poll4: 12 hours.
Here is a screenshot showing the scheduled poll times to start:

After MSR polls the scheduled poll times:

Poll3 and poll2 are not running.
Here is what I'm polling in the driver.

I know this is not your driver but I'm encouraged if you are not seeing a problem. I must have something configured wrong. Would you mind checking your driver and see if your scheduled times increase also?

I have upgraded my Hubitat Hub Information Driver to v3 and after the latest MSR update latest-23028 MSR is working ok. The problem is when MSR probes the device it appears to affect the polling in the new Hub Information Device and its data does not update the data fields in Hubitat. If I remove the Hub Information Device from Maker API so MSR can't see it, The Hub information driver updates the data as expected in Hubitat. I added the device back into Maker API the same problem returns in Hubitat. I have tried to have MSR probe a different device by adding a different probe device and probe action in the reactor.yaml per the documentation but it appears then it still uses the Hub Information Device as the probe device instead of the one specified in the reactor.yaml. See Logs below. Is this the intended behavior to always use the Hub Information Driver if found and not use the device in the reactor.yaml file? Any recommendations on how to get MSR and the v3 of the driver to work correctly or can you see what I am doing wrong?
