@CatmanV2 what device (hub) fo you use to connect your z-wave devices? I'm using my old vera but at some point I need to decide what to replace it with. I agree with your comment about the strengths of HA and MSR.

Following on from my last thread, some progress has been made over the weekend.
With 18G of spanky RAM in my Synology DS224+. I've jumped into the murky world of virtualisation and already eliminated the need for two Raspberry Pi's from my system.
Home Assistant: In theory they provide an OVA file which is supported by the Synology. I couldn't get it to work, however, so grabbed a copy of the .img file they supply, renamed it .iso and imported it as a VM. Restored from my full back up and that all seems fantastic.
Minidnla Music server: Trivial. Grabbed a Debian .iso for Bookworm and copied that onto the NAS. Created a new machine which mirrored the specs of the Raspberry Pi, booted from the ISO then did an expert install. Once that was all stable with a basic core of stuff and networking, I've made a copy of that as a good base system. Then fired up minidnla on it, mounted my media and that's also woking. Not bad for a short weekend's work.
Still not sure about the main NUC though. I'm thinking of buying a new USB stick so I can mess around getting it working on the Synology before I do anything drastic.
Once that hurdle is sorted I'm torn between:
Using a brand new install of Bookworm, re-installing Z-way server, OpenLuup, AltUI, MSR and HA bridge, then restoring across or Making an ISO of the current system, importing that and upgrading in place (which will be pretty risk free since I can snapshot everything before I make any changes.)Decisions, decisions.

Afternoon, all.
In my continued attempts to virtualise my system, I'm in the last (I hope throes)
I don't fancy relying on Synology not to break more USB activities, so decided to set up ser2net on a Raspberry pi and plug in a spare Z-wave.me stick
So on the Raspberry pi: ser2net. yaml
catman@Zwave:/etc $ cat ser2net.yaml %YAML 1.1 --- # This is a ser2net configuration file, tailored to be rather # simple. # # Find detailed documentation in ser2net.yaml(5) # A fully featured configuration file is in # /usr/share/doc/ser2net/examples/ser2net.yaml.gz # # If you find your configuration more useful than this very simple # one, please submit it as a bugreport define: &banner \r\nser2net port \p device \d [\B] (Debian GNU/Linux)\r\n\r\n connection: &zwave0 # Bind to TCP port accepter: tcp,4000 enable: on options: kickolduser: true # Ensure mDNS is disabled mdns: false connector: serialdev, /dev/ttyACM0,115200N81,nobreak,localAnd if I telnet to it from anywhere:
catman@ChrisMBP15-2018 ~ % telnet 192.168.70.128 4000 Trying 192.168.70.128... Connected to 192.168.70.128. Escape character is '^]'.Which makes me think that ser2net is doing its thing.
Now in my virtualised Z-wave server I have this:
Screenshot 2025-04-10 at 17.36.52.png
(I've tried with a colon and a space between the ip and the port)
The result:
An unexpected error occurred during loading data. Try to reload the page. Please check 1.) if the controller is plugged in correctly, 2.) that in the app 'Z-Wave Network Access' the right port is entered (UZB: '/dev/ttyACM0', RaZberry shield: '/dev/ttyAMA0', UZB-Windows: '\\.\COM3', Z-Stick: '/dev/ttyUSB0', embedded boxes: '/dev/ttyS0' or '/dev/ttyS1') 3.) the app is aktiv. If not you could activate it under Menu > Apps > Active or add a new one under Menu > Apps > Local. The Setting 'Expert View' needs to be active under Menu > My Settings.Any pointers as to what I'm doing wrong?
TIA!

Hi guys,
Just wondering how you guys organize your rule sets and rules. I wish I had an extra layer to have some more granularity, but my feature request was not popular.
Maybe there are better ways to organize my rule sets.
I use the rule sets now primarily for rooms. So a rule set per room. But maybe grouping by functionality works better. Any examples/ suggestions would be appreciated.
I have installed MSR on a RP5 bare metal and then copied the config and store files. Everything seems to be on the RP5 but I am missing all global expression and I don't see the controller time.

Good day all,
I have an notification set up for my washing machine to let me know when it's complete. I have a templete sensor set up in HAAS to let me know if it's Washing, in Standby, or off, based upon the power consumption (Shelly 1PM on outlets)
The MSR code is relatively simple. I have a built in false positive attribute for if MSR gets rebooted, because I would suddenly get tons of notifications when I upgraded MSR.
6774565a-06cc-443f-99c1-e71301b33d83-image.png
What I'm trying to introduce, is a way to verify that I just didn't bump the knob on the washing machine when transferring loads from the washer to the dryer, which turns on the display and brings the power above the Standby threshold.
The power goes up to 3.7W for about 4 minutes if the selector knob is bumped/turned.
What would the best way to do this be? I have most of my MSR code set up for a couple of years now, and my coding logic is struggling a bit.
I think I need a power threshold to be substained for a minimum time period (say 2 or 3 minutes, above 10W), before the other triggers can act. What would the best way to do that be?

I have a very strange situation, where if InfluxDB restarts, other containers may fail when restarting at the same time (under not easy to understand circumstances), and InfluxDB remains unreachable (and these containers crashes). I need to reboot these containers in an exact order, after rebooting InfluxDB.
While I understand what's going on, I need a way to reliable determine that InfluxDB is not reachable and these containers are not reachable, in order to identify this situation and manually check what's going on - and, maybe, in the future, automatically restart them if needed.
So, I was looking at HTTP Request action, but I need to capture the HTTP response code, instead of the response (becase if ping is OK, InfluxDB will reply with a 204), and, potentially, a way to programmatically detect that it's failing to get the response.
While I could write a custom HTTP controller for this or a custom HTTP virtual device, I was wondering if this is somewhat on you roadmap @toggledbits
Thanks!
Hi ,
I'm on
-Reactor (Multi-hub) latest-25067-62e21a2d
-Docker on Synology NAS
-ZWaveJSUI 9.31.0.6c80945
Problem with ZwaveJSUI:
When I try to change color to a bulb RGBWW, it doesn't change to the RGB color and the bulb remains warm or cold white.
I tryed with Zipato RGBW Bulb V2 RGBWE2, Hank Bulb HKZW-RGB01, Aentec 6 A-ZWA002, so seems that it happens with all RGBWW bulb with reactor/zwavejsui.
I'm using from reator the entity action: "rgb_color.set" and "rgb_color.set_rgb".
After I send the reactor command, It changes in zwavejsui the rgb settings but doesn't put the white channel to "0", so the prevalent channel remains warm/cold White and the bulb doesn't change into the rgb color.
This is the status of the bulb in zwavejsui after "rgb_color.set" (235,33,33,) and the bulb is still warmWhite.
x_zwave_values.Color_Switch_currentColor={"warmWhite":204,"coldWhite":0,"red":235,"green":33,"blue":33}The "cold white" and "warm white" settings interfer with the rgb color settings.
Reactor can change bulb colors with rgb_color set — (value, ui8, 0x000000 to 0xffffff) or rgb_color set_rgb — (red, green, blue, all ui1, 0 to 255) but if warm or cold white
are not to "0", zwavejsui doesn't change them and I can't find a way to change into rgb or from rgb back to warm white.
So if I use from reactor: rgb_color set_rgb — (235,33,33) in zwavejsui I have
x_zwave_values.Color_Switch_targetColor={"red":235,"green":33,"blue":33} 14/03/2025, 16:43:57 - value updated Arg 0: └─commandClassName: Color Switch └─commandClass: 51 └─property: targetColor └─endpoint: 0 └─newValue └──red: 235 └──green: 33 └──blue: 33 └─prevValue └──red: 235 └──green: 33 └──blue: 33 └─propertyName: targetColor 14/03/2025, 16:43:57 - value updated Arg 0: └─commandClassName: Color Switch └─commandClass: 51 └─property: currentColor └─endpoint: 0 └─newValue └──warmWhite: 204 └──coldWhite: 0 └──red: 235 └──green: 33 └──blue: 33 └─prevValue └──warmWhite: 204 └──coldWhite: 0 └──red: 235 └──green: 33 └──blue: 33 └─propertyName: currentColorIn zwavejsui, the bulb changes rgb set but warm White remains to "204" and the bulb remais on warm White channel bacause is prevalent on rgb set.
x_zwave_values.Color_Switch_currentColor_0=204 x_zwave_values.Color_Switch_currentColor_1=0 x_zwave_values.Color_Switch_currentColor_2=235 x_zwave_values.Color_Switch_currentColor_3=33 x_zwave_values.Color_Switch_currentColor_4=33Is it possible to targetColor also for "warmWhite" and "coldWhite" and have something similar to this?
x_zwave_values.Color_Switch_targetColor={"warmWhite":0,"coldWhite":0,"red":235,"green":33,"blue":33}Thanks in advance.
Good day all,
I have a reaction set up, that I use for both troubleshooting and changing home modes when one of my family members either arrive or are leaving. I use the companion app for HAAS on our iPhones, and HAAS reports if the person associated with the iPhone enters or leaves the geofenced area around my home. I'm sure most MSR and HAAS users are familiar with this.
I use this rule set mainly as a condition for other rules, however, as part of troubleshooting, a notification is sent through HAAS to the companion app when the rule becomes true. The problem is that I'm getting notifications now for both arriving and departing simultaneously.

36903cdd-a87f-473b-82ef-af9ef96d3c44-image.png It used to work fine as intended. I'm not sure exactly when it changed, but now I'm getting two notifications when either of these conditions change.
Any idea what could be happening?

MSR had been running fine, but I decided to follow the message to upgrade to 25067. Since the upgrade, I have received the message "Controller "<name>" (HubitatController hubitat2) could not be loaded at startup. Its ID is not unique." MSR throws the message on every restart. Has anyone else encountered this problem?
I am running MSR on a Raspberry Pi4 connecting to two Hubitat units over an OpenVPN tunnel. One C8 and a C8 Pro. Both are up-to-date. It appears that despite the error message that MSR may be operating properly.
Similarly as for local expressions, global expressions evaluate and update fine when getEntity(...) structure is used. However, at least when certain functions are in use, expressions do not update.
Consider the following test case:
Screenshot 2025-03-13 at 16.29.42.png
Even though auto-evaluation is active, value does not change (it changes only if that expression is manually run). MSR restarts do not help.
Screenshot 2025-03-13 at 16.31.43.png
Note: Tested using build 25067 on Docker. I have also a PR open (but couldn't now get details or PR number as my Mantis account was somehow expired?).
Trying to understand what cause a local expresssion to be evaluated. I have read the manual but I am still not clear about it. Using the test rule below, I can see in the log that the rule is being automatically evaluated every time the temperature entity is changing. That is great...
What I am trying to understand is why the expression is not evaluated based on time as well since the "case" statement has time dependencies.
Any help would be appreciated

I am trying to delete a global expression (gLightDelay) but for some strange reason, it comes back despite clicking the Delete this expression and Save Changes buttons.
I have not created a global expression for some times and just noticed this while doing some clean-up.
I have upgraded Reactor to 25067 from 25060 and the behaviour is still there. I have restarted Reactor (as well as restarting its container) and cleared the browser's cache several times without success.

Hello all, after seeing Catman's posts about their disaster recovery and move to Docker I took that as a sign to migrate everything (aside from HA) to Docker. After a small learning curve I had Docker+Portainer up and running in a few days.
Instead of using named Volumes I opted to use Bind Mounts so I can easily edit conf files and any other file needed. I do understand the nuances that come with bind mounts, such as migration to a different host may require changing file structures, the possibility of someone editing the bind mount files and permissions but to me those aren't too big of a deal.
My question is what is the best way to keep a back up of these bind mounts? I currently have them stored in the /etc directory in another directory named on a per container basis. I was thinking to move it all to a /home/user/docker/ directory so that I can use a simple cp command to my mounted SMB share to backup all the container data files. Anyone else do it differently?
Side note: I finally got to flex the benefits of Docker with updating Reactor.. it was dead simple. I had no idea what I was missing out on lol!
Morning, experts. Hard on learning about the internet check script in MSR tools, I was wondering what suggestions anyone has about a local (i.e. non-internet dependent) notification method.
This was prompted by yesterday's fun and games with my ISP.
I've got the script Cronned and working properly but short of flashing a light on and off, I'm struggling to think of a way of alerting me (ideally to my phone)
I guess I could set up a Discord server at home, but that feels like overkill for a rare occasion. Any other suggestions?
TIA

MSR setup for http request (today's date)Background to the question
I've been experimenting a little and I need help. If I use the following expression:I get the correct response (i.e. today's day number '16'th).
I can use this in a HTTP requst to download some tarrif information via an API from my energy supplier - i.e. today's gas unit rate tariff
What I'd like to do
I would like to download tomorrow's gas unit rate tariff. To do this I need to set up and expression with today's date + 1 day (in the case of my example expression above that would be '17' (today being the 16th).
Question: How do I take today's date and add 1 day - so that I can make the HTTP request for tomorrow's information?
Any guidance or suggestions would be appreciated.

Reactor not showing full vera device parametersSo, I have found my missing parameters! They appeared following a reactor update. Perhaps next time I add new vera devices, I should stop reactor and re-start it after I have added the new devices and things have settled down. Anyhow, thanks again for your assitance Patrick.
-
Reactor not showing full vera device parametersI have a number of rules which using entity actions I write values into multistring devices in my vera plus. Below is an example of how I do this in Reactor:
If I add a new multistring device in my vera plus I cannot set the device variables as I can with 'old' multistring devices. The below screen shot shows that the same drop down menu options in reactor for the new multistring device are not present as they are for the old device above:
If I look at the reactor entities for an old multistring entity (device #887) and a newly created multistring entity (device number '1056) I can spot a difference as per the screen shot below. I guess my question is 'why are the available actions not listed for new multistring devices (entities))?
-
Reactor not showing full vera device parameters@toggledbits it appears that I used the wrong terminology. I have looked at the two Reactor logs (vera-user_data-initial.json and vera-status-initial.json files) again, comparing the attributes for 1056 and 1057 against other devices, the respective attributes don't seem out of place. All attributes are listed for the two multistring devices (or should I say they appear to be listed). See below for device 1056. Does this confirm that the attributes for the two new entities (devices) are being read correctly by reactor?

Reactor not showing full vera device parametersPlease find my responses below. I fear you may be frustraited by my lack of knowlege but I have done my best based on your guidance. I am not able to upload the logs. Do you need these?
Sorry about the thumbnail screen shots - I could not find a better way to capture them!
'I would look at the attributes listed for the entities in the Entities list.' So the unreadable thumbnail images showed that the expected entities for the two new vera multistring devices are not available in Reactor.
I have looked at the vera logs (http://192.168.XX.XXX/cgi-bin/cmh/log.sh?Device=LuaUPnP after a luup reload. If I search for the two new multistring devices (1056 & 1057) the entries looked quite normal compared to the log entries for similar devices. So I assume no vera error?
I have looked at the two Reactor logs (vera-user_data-initial.json and vera-status-initial.json files) again, comparing the entries for 1056 and 1057 against other devices, the respective lines don't seem out of place. All entities are listed for the two multistring devices.

Reactor not showing full vera device parametersYes Patrick. I also tried an alternative browser. Tried a hard re-boot also on my Pi4.

MSR setup for http request (today's date)I have made an http request and get the following JSON response which I have stored in a global variable gas_consumption (like the example above). See below.
I have then tried to the following expression to extract the consumption value:
Clearly the returned data "results" is not published for today (strftime( "%F) i.e. 4/9/2022.
How do I extract the gas consumption for a particular date?
How do I extract yesterday's gas consumption (in the case of the response below 3/9/2022)?===group

MSR setup for http request (today's date)@toggledbits thank you once again! Very clear instructions. I am now up an running and have opened up new opportunites to extend my automation.
-
MSR setup for http request (today's date)@toggledbits I am not sure if the returned result is JSON? I can obviously paste the response into a JSON formatter but I guess that is not the same thing? The result is unfortunately not just the 'latest' (today's rate), but a whole history of days which means I'd have to pick out the values under each day or today '2022-07-25'

MSR setup for http request (today's date)I would like to extract the daily gas price from my fuel supplier's API. The http call is as follows: https://octopus.energy/api/v1/tracker/G-1R-SILVER-2017-1-M/daily/past/90/1/
I need to pick the current (i.e. today's) gas price. If I search through the text manually I can find today's data, in this case 2022-07-20.
Can I set MSR up to do a http request and then extract the "unit_rate" into a variable so that I can set another rule up to determine if it would be cheaper to heat my hot water using the immersion heater or gas (FYI my off peak electricity price is £0.075 per kwh). Any help or guidance as always is much appreciated.
I'm running MSR on raspberry PI 4 in docker version 22168
Thanks.

pi@raspberrypi:~/reactor $ ls
config docker-compose.yml logs storage
pi@raspberrypi:~/reactor $ docker-compose down
Stopping reactor ... done
Removing reactor ... done

Copying configuraiton and rules from QNAP install to Raspberry PI 4 install@toggledbits something is not working quite right with my docker install (docker-compose). Not sure where to start!
-
Copying configuraiton and rules from QNAP install to Raspberry PI 4 install@toggledbits thanks for the methodology. I manged to copy the files from a usb stick to the relevant folders using the sudo cp command. Feeling pretty pleased as I am now up an running on my raspberry pi.
-
Copying configuraiton and rules from QNAP install to Raspberry PI 4 install@catmanv2 I tried that thanks and it works:
sudo docker stop reactor #stops reactor
sudo service docker restart #starts reactorCheers!
