MSR UI on a mobile browser
tunnusT

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)

New to Home Automation Looking for a Single app?
A

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

Sending data to a USB port to interface with a wireless switch
F

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.

Seeking Advice:
G

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!

Looking for Remote Switch boxes that can also be used with a wireless Decora Style Switch.
V

Hi All,

Kind of new to Home Automation. Started off Using Amazon Echo units and added a Samsung SmartThings hub. I have mostly been using plug in modules for turning lights on and off. I live in a very rural area where the internet goes out a lot. I eventually want to change to to a non internet Hub so things will work without needing an internet connection. But I will post with those questions at a later date.

So, the task at hand is this: I have flood lights at each corner of my house. They are currently controlled by switches at the front and back doors. I would like to add Security Cameras to each corner also. I can easily find small Wifi switches to put into the electrical box where the flood lights are located, then I can terminate the leads together behind the Decora switch to have constant power. Then I can use the constant power up at the lights electrical box to power the security cameras. I would also like to have a wireless switch to take the place of the Decora switch to be able to turn the lights off and on.

I cannot seem to find a product like this. It seems I can find the small wired in switch boxes that will also come with external smart wall switches, but the wall switches are an external box that does not fit in or cover the existing Wall switch electrical box. I can also find Wireless Decora switches that come with a remote wired in small switch box , but they all seem to be RF and do not integrate with a Smart Hub.
I am hoping someone here knows of a product that matches what I am looking for. Any help would be appreciated.

Also any recommendations for Wireless Security cameras are welcome.

Thanks for any help.

Openluup - verabridge can not load devices.
D

Hello,

I have a fresh openluup install on a raspberry.
Just installed "Vera Bridge" plugin, but I can't make it to work.
The plugin can not load the device infos from the vera.
This is what I can see in the OpenLuup log :

openLuup.client:: WGET error status: -1, request: http://192.168.1.2/port_3480/data_request?id=user_data2&output_format=json&ns=1

I have tried it from a console on the same raspberry this way :
wget http://192.168.1.2:3480/data_request?id=user_data2&output_format=json&ns=1
It worked, so I think it's not credential or network issue.

What can be the solution for this ?

I have the following ACL defined:

And I have authenticated to MSR as "admin" user. However, I'm getting "access denied" when trying to access http://*******:8111/api/v1/log

So what I'm missing, is my ACL incorrectly defined?

Why different types of Triggers within openLuup & ALTUI
parkercP

Sorry if this has been covered before, just curious why triggers in openluup are not consistent..

I looked at a scene i’d created a while back via ALTUI using the Console view and noticed it didn’t show any Triggers, which was strange as it was my main front door event 🙂 . So I added the door tripped trigger again, but I’ve just noticed I now how two tiggers using this view.

In ALTUI it shows this.

High temperature sensor for Zigbee
R

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.

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.

openLuup_install.lua - URL changed?

AK. Was doing an openLuup install and the installer errored with:

openLuup_install 2019.02.15 @akbooer getting openLuup version tar file from GitHub branch master... un-zipping download files... getting dkjson.lua... lua5.1: openLuup_install.lua:45: GitHub download failed with code 500 stack traceback: [C]: in function 'assert' openLuup_install.lua:45: in main chunk [C]: ?

The installer code was executing this URL:

http://dkolf.de/src/dkjson-lua.fsl/raw/dkjson.lua?name=16cbc26080996d9da827df42cb0844a25518eeb3

Running it manually gives:

dkolf.de The script could not be run error-free. Please check your error log file for the exact error message. You can find this in the KIS under "Product Management > *YOUR PRODUCT* > *CONFYGUAR* > Logfiles". Further information can be found in our FAQ. The script could not be executed correctly. Please refer to your error log for details about this error. You find it in your KIS under item "Product Admin > *YOUR PRODUCT* > *CONFIGURE* > Logfiles". Further information can also be found in our FAQ.

I'm thinking the dkjson code URL has been changed. On dkolf.de there is a download link:

http://dkolf.de/dkjson-lua/dkjson-2.8.lua

and dkjson code also seems to be in GitHub (I presume this is the same code?):

https://github.com/LuaDist/dkjson/blob/master/dkjson.lua

I'm don't know what dkolf.de looked like previously but I do see the dkjson code has been updated as of 2024-06-17. Hope this helps.

Oh - and by the way the dkjson.lua file seems to have been downloaded OK by the installer - error or no error, so go figure.

Just starting what hub is best.
I

Dear Forum,

I am just starting a smart home system. I've wanted to do this for 10 years at most and really would like to get a start. What I have are a couple of SONOFF wifi relays, some 433 (Hz/mHz) switches ( not wifi ) a couple of wifi lightbulbs, and I'd like to expand wifi thermostat, leak/water detectors, garage door openers and what ever else I can think of.

In the SONOFF items I have it's a particular app, the wifi bulbs are another app, and if I do a thermostat there might be another app. My wife is not a Luddite but she damn sure doesn't want to have to trouble shoot if/why a particular app breaks down.

So in what I do understand about smart home things is that I need/want a HUB. I spent 15 years doing some programming so I do have some computer ability, though I'd prefer to stay away from HAVING to line command operate the hub.

I would like a list of HUB's that people have found to be the best. Even better are links to let's say Amazon for that hub.

Regards from Noob Smart Home,
Barry

TTS in MSR?
F

Hi!

In Home Assistant I sometimes uses the TTS, either to my Sonos or Google speakers. With reactor in Vera I also use TTS.
But in MSR I can't select the TTS-service. It's simply not there. Am I missing something, or is this the case, so far?
Thanks!

OpenLuup : Loading Global Modules
parkercP

It’s been a while since I looked at openLuup as it had been running nicely and quietly in the background doing some basic tasks. With my VeraPlus looking like it’s finally succumbing to old age, I want to shift a number of the global module I have over to openLuup.

To do this, I have added the files (example would be xxpushover.lua to the cmh-ludl folder and the following to the startup

require “xxpushover”

The xxpushover.lua file itself starts with the following..

module("xxpushover", package.seeall)

And I always have a line in these files to allow me to check it’s been read in the start up related logs, which in this case it is..

The challenge I’m having is that when I try to call any of the functions within the module, it returns the following error..

"[string "ALTUI - LuaRunHandler"]:1: attempt to index global 'xxpushover' (a nil value)”

I’m no doubt missing something obvious, can anyone help me find out what it is ? Many thanks

There is also an Analog Gas sensor that one did import in to MSR OK.

They have an EzloPi website here you can create your own sensor projects using ESP boards, which is very interesting stuff!

And I just wrote on the Ezlo forum here, how to connect an EzloPi controller to MSR.

THANKS.

Reactor (Multi-System/Multi-Hub) Announcements
toggledbitsT

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.

A couple of things about Reactor 24293
therealdbT

A couple of things for you @toggledbits, since you mentioned that this release has new features and some tweaks are expected.

Local expressions cannot be deleted. Pushing the X button has no effect for me.

When cloning an entity action, the result is strange (first is cloned one, second is the original action):
a92ea094-9e2c-4aaa-bf47-2d07a6ffdbd0-image.png

When changing the action on the cloned element, the params are added to the original one. See screenshot:
92ac3011-83c8-466b-bd23-47d483ad7a52-image.png

Dark theme has a couple of strange contrasts. One is visible in the previous screenshots (white text on yellow background). Another one is in groups (blue text on blue background):
9b3c4988-53ef-44e6-9672-30e744cacb75-image.png Overall, I found blue, yellow, red and green (in buttons and forms) to be too bright.

On the bright side:

I love the new script action: thank you! The dark theme is a great start to avoid getting blinded at night I promise I'll try very soon the new features around actions. Thanks!

    Reactor Start - System Crash/Restart
  • T tbully

    In my exhaustion (anger? Lol), I mistyped. I’m at 22.04. 🙂

    I do fire an email just before the reboot. I took a break to check emails and wrap up for the day and this is what triggered it for me. If it wasn’t for this, I think I’d still be digging. I send lots of emails, perhaps too many, when different things happen. This is a great idea!

    I have to go look at the rule today. I thought I set a variable on reboot which would only allow one event/reboot. At least I thought about this possibility but I clearly missed something.

    Thanks for the consoling, gents. I’ve appreciated both of your support over the past year as I’ve slowly moved away from Vera to HASS with Reactor being the central rules engine.

    • Reactor Start - System Crash/Restart
  • T tbully

    I could delete these posts but I won't. In short, I'm an idiot.

    I remembered I have a rule which reboots my Linux host when my weather station goes in to error. Reactor lives on that host. (sigh)

    My fix was to temporarily rename the "reboot" command in the filesystem to something else. Start Reactor (imagine that, no reboot!). Disable the rule. Fix the command back to "reboot" in the FS.

    Happy New Year! (ugh)

    Sorry for talking to myself. Just trying to relay what I know.

    I tried running it manually and got the following:

    Hello All -
    I upgraded my OS to Ubuntu 20.04 today and have been regretting it for several hours. I have most of my system up. However, I've found that, when I start Reactor, it panics / reboots my OS. I've included the syslog during startup below. There's a benign message about not finding a Vera device just before the reboot but that's it.

    Needless to say, I've learned my lesson regarding OS upgrades.

    • Where Used Functionality?
  • T tbully

    I have the rules migrated and running on the external Reactor (doing some tweaking as you mentioned). That's not my issue.

    My issue is I'm now starting to exclude some devices from Vera and adding them to HASS. For the most part, I've been successful in knowing where the device is used in my ruleset. However, on a few occasions, I've forgotten / missed some rules.

    It would be great to look up an entity in MSR and see where it's used (either in rules or reactions) so I can account for the myriad places some devices exist.

    • Where Used Functionality?
  • T tbully

    Hello All -

    I'm still working on moving dozens of devices from Vera (internal Reactor) to HASS and (external - bare metal) Reactor.

    One thing I've noticed is sometimes I move a few ZWave/Vera devices and find myself digging through rules finding where a device was used. Has anyone found a good way to do this?

    I plan on digging in to this thread but thought I'd check to see if there's anything more recent.

    • Hot Water Recirc - Global Date/Time Variable
  • T tbully

    All -

    I took a different approach. I didn't feel like asking the forum a bunch of stupid questions.

    1. Setup a global variable ("ReadyForRecirc") which will contain a true or false
    2. Utilize my global "Start Hot Water Recirculation" reaction. After starting the reaction, wait for 60 minutes before "ReadyForRecirc" is set to TRUE.
    3. Where I have logic to run recirculation, call the "Start Hot Water Recirculation" reaction, wait 5 seconds, set "ReadyForRecirc" to FALSE.

    Seems to work OK.

    p.s. I don't know why I have to manually enter true/false for my motions but seems to be OK.

    • Hot Water Recirc - Global Date/Time Variable
  • T tbully

    Interesting on the time() eval. Makes sense. I have to rethink this as I want it to be rather responsive without MSR constantly running the function. In other words, I don't want to wait a minute (as an example) for recirc to start when someone enters the bathroom.

    Also agree on boolean vs. string and thought it was weird that it wanted a string. Because it was a test (and that part worked), I didn't put much thought in to it.

    The time piece is really the issue at the moment.

    • Hot Water Recirc - Global Date/Time Variable
  • T tbully

    @crille
    Argh. Thanks. I meant time and clearly saw it in the manual. I was caught up on the function / call and syntax so this was helpful.

    Can someone check me on my logic? As a test, I'm looking for recirc to be ran 10 minutes or later and motion in the workshop.

    • Hot Water Recirc - Global Date/Time Variable
  • T tbully

    Hello All -
    I've finally gotten to the point where I can start / stop hot water recirculation using MSR and a HASS service call, reliably.

    I'd like to start with some simple automation to start circulation in certain instances (e.g. motion in bathroom, etc).

    That said, I do not want to obsessively run circulation in the spirit of energy conservation and equipment abuse. So I'd like to use a time stamp of last run and perhaps limit the execution to something like once per hour.

    I read the manual and see references to date handling in expressions. I see that response to the date() call is in EPOCH. That's great and should make math easy. However, in the reaction to start the circulation, I'm having a hard time setting a global variable to the current date/time.

    Can someone point me to examples? Using a 'Set Variable' and date() just puts "date()" in as a string value.

    Thanks.

    • "changes from" operator stops to detect change
  • T tbully

    Sigh. So this is weird. I updated to the latest and no change.

    I then took your advice and just was manually changing the Value8 variable in Vera from alpha to beta. It still didn't help. I finally took the 600 second delay out and noted that the set/reset started working. Put the delay back and all is good (I think).

    I'll keep an eye on it. Thanks for sticking with me on this one.

    @toggledbits

    Apologies for the silence. The work week got away from me.

    While I wouldn't put it past me, the rule is indeed enabled.

    I'm doing something similar to your suggestion in order to test.

    1. MSR status up in one window (see screenshot)
    2. In Vera console in another window, I disarm/arm SiteSensor. As you're aware, this causes a re-fire of the recipe.
    3. I can then visual see the Value8 value change in the window.

    Is that a good enough test or should I go further somehow? (e.g. manually modifying Value8) Is there a way to increase debug level so we can see the payload coming back from Vera to MSR?

    • "changes from" operator stops to detect change
  • T tbully

    @toggledbits
    I have thought about that. But I just checked again. Value 8 updates (to the second) each time it successfully runs. This is the observation time from the weather station itself (the station at my home). This is important as it's that lack-of-update that I'm trying to detect. Otherwise, I would agree that time() would be sufficient.

    Another interesting fact is that this rule/reaction works OK in the "Vera Instance" of Reactor.

    Thanks @pabla . I did read your thread and tried a few ideas from it. When I drop "data", I get a parser error.....

    Updated version was able to get past the parser but then get the below error from HASS.

    Clearly doesn't like "data" being sent again. But I'm unclear how to send the "recirculation_minutes" and then the following "target" / "entity_id" parameter.

    Hello -

    As the subject implies, I'm trying to make a Service Call to Home Assistant and having formatting issues. I struggle with JSON so hoping someone can provide me direction.

    Here's an example of working YAML in Home Assistant:

    service: rinnai.start_recirculation
data:
  recirculation_minutes: 5
target:
  entity_id: water_heater.bully_house_water_heater
    • "changes from" operator stops to detect change

    Given this thread: https://smarthome.community/topic/455/replacing-sitesensor-plugin-vera-with-msr/34

    Maybe I just turn this responsibility over to MSR and make life easier. It will have to be done at some point anyway (as Vera is going away)
