@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.

I'm running MSR build 25139 on Docker, using MQTT controller 24293, and everything working as expected. But if I try to upgrade to MQTTController build 25139, I'm getting the following errors on MSR UI:

I realize my MQTT configuration might be a bit unorthodox, but could there still be something unintentional in the latest MQTTController build? If needed, I can provide detailed logs.
Since today is my birthday - and I still pretend to be unconventional - I'm giving away a present to this wonderful community and I'm releasing my first OpenSprinkler controller for MSR. It was real fun to code it - and while it's still WIP, it seems to work OK for me. It's polling-based at the moment, but I'll add support for updates via MQTT very soon (it's already partially coded).
Get it at (install is similar to MQTTController and such):
https://github.com/dbochicchio/reactor-opensprinkler
Feel free to try it. It's beta software, but it's stable. I'll update it weekly until all the tasks from my todo list are empty.
Since I've learnt a lot from this controller, I'll explore new controllers soon.
Hi Smart Home Community.
I have used a Sonos inline WiFi switch to make one of my light fittings smart, but it requires a hard reset for WiFi changes, plus it isn't zigbee compatible, which means I can't use the Hue app to control it with the rest of the lights.
To that end I bought a Samotech SM308-S as it is recommended as the better than the Sonos equivalent.
I am however not exactly sure how to wire it in.
The manual is available here
Can anyone help me by clarifying which ports I need to use, and whether I should be using the live or switched live line for live etc.
I will be keeping using standard switches for a while, although hope to upgrade to tap dials once I have all the fittings upgraded.
Thanks
Good day all,
I'm in the process of trying to shut down my 10 year old Linux home server that served many purposes, but primarily it's what I used for my NAS/Plex Media server. I migrated the NAS aspect of the server in November of last year to a true NAS solution (Ubiquti UNAS Pro), which is rack mount and much more efficient than my old tower, which it's only side benefit was heating my home office during the winter. Unfortunately it also means heating my home office during the summer, which were about to be in full swing.
I have two things running on this 10 year old server at this point. MSR and pi-hole. I'm running Plex Media Server on Fedora Workstation in Podman on mini PC, which is much more energy efficient than my old tower. My next step is to migrate MSR. I know there are images of MSR out there, and creating it is well documented. I'm going to be using Podman instead of Docker for various reasons, but they work very similar. What I don't know, is what I need to do to migrate my existing Bare Metal installation over to a container.
Has anyone done this? Any advice?
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.
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.

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 the following yaml configuration in local_mqtt_devices file
x_mqtt_device:
set_speed:
arguments:
speed:
type: str
topic: "command/%friendly_name%"
payload:
type: json
expr: '{ "fan": parameters.speed }'
While this works fine, I'm wondering how this could be changed to "fixed" parameters, as in this case "fan" only accepts "A", "Q" or a numeric value of 1-5?
Hi!
I get this message when I'm on the status tab:
System Configuration Check
The time on this system and on the Reactor host are significantly different. This may be due to incorrect system configuration on either or both. Please check the configuration of both systems. The host reports 2025-04-01T15:29:29.252Z; browser reports 2025-04-01T15:29:40.528Z; difference 11.276 seconds.
I have MSR installed as a docker on my Home Assistant Blue / Hardkernel ODROID-N2/N2+. MSR version is latest-25082-3c348de6.
HA versions are:
Core 2025.3.4
Supervisor 2025.03.4
Operating System 15.1
I have restarted HA as well as MSR multiple times. This message didn´t show two weeks ago. Don´t know if it have anything to do with the latest MSR version.
Do anyone know what I can try?
Thanks in advance!
Let's Be Careful Out There (Hill Street reference...)

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

In 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=33
Is 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.

Critical Disk Space WarningI updated to the latest version of Reactor this morning. I run reactor (successfully) on a Raspberry PI 4 4GB with SSD 64GB. I also run Home Assistant in Docker. After updating I noticed a disk space critical error warning!
I have tried purging the docker install (docker image prune -a)
I have rebooted the Raspberry PI also, and the error messages keep coming.
I have the following disk space:
How do I free up space?
Any help would be appreciated.

MSR setup for http request (today's date)@toggledbits Thanks for your pointers. Partial success:
However, the expressions do not update! I use Tomorrow_Date in a Rule (HTTP Request):
Is there a way to force an update on selected expressions, say at a set time every day?

MSR setup for http request (today's date)@toggledbits Thanks for the prompts, following which I made some progress:
I have Test51 which contains tomorrow's date, but I am struggling to get the time in a sting representation. I am trying to represent the day in Test53 expression but I have a syntax error.
I would appreciate some more guidance.

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.
-
Reactor not showing full vera device parametersI use a number of multistring devices in my vera plus. My 'original' multistring devices work in Reactor i.e.:
However, the new ones I have added do not show the device data sets / parameters (not sure what the correct term is?):
Is there something that I am doing wrong?

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.

Copying configuraiton and rules from QNAP install to Raspberry PI 4 installSorry @toggledbits . I tied it again after a good break and it appears to work fine. I honestly don't know what was going wrong but things seem to now be in order:
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ cd reactor
pi@raspberrypi:~/reactor $ ls
config docker-compose.yml logs storage
pi@raspberrypi:~/reactor $ docker-compose down
Stopping reactor ... done
Removing reactor ... done
Removing network reactor_default
pi@raspberrypi:~/reactor $ docker-compose pull
Pulling reactor ... done
pi@raspberrypi:~/reactor $ docker-compose up -d
Creating network "reactor_default" with the default driver
Creating reactor ... donedocker-compose.yml below FYI:
Multi-System Reactor template docker-compose.yml (version 22160)

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!
