I have similar popups, but I was never able to precisely replicate that. I'll keep an eye on the next and I'll report here as well.

Build 24343 has fully HTTP actions, so cool things could be created (see docs). I've recently changed a couple of cams because better definition and I've found tha Reolink has a couple of cams that have spotlights. While the spotlights are driven by motion (so the cam could record in color), I wanted to drive them directly, so in case of any "security" event, like alarm on, door open, etc, I could use the lights to have a better video and make - you know - light.

So, if you want to use HTTP actions in VirtualController, just go to config, entities under your VirtualEntityController section in reactor.yaml, and add this:

        - id: cams_retro_spotlights
          name: "Retro Cam - Spotlights"
          template: Binary Switch
         # update the status at interval
          http_request:
            interval: 900 # 15m
            url: "http://192.168.1.31/cgi-bin/api.cgi?user=foo&password=foo"
            method: "POST"
            force_json: true
            headers:
              "Content-Type": "application/json"
              "Accept": "application/json"
            body: '[{"cmd": "GetWhiteLed", "action": 0 , "param": { "channel": 0 }}]'
          capabilities:
            power_switch:
              attributes:
                state:
                  expr: "isnull( response ) ? null : response[0]?.value?.WhiteLed?.state == 1"
                  default: false
              actions:
                "on":
                  http_request:
                    url: "http://192.168.1.31/cgi-bin/api.cgi?user=foo&password=foo"
                    method: "POST"
                    force_json: true
                    headers:
                      "Content-Type": "application/json"
                      "Accept": "application/json"
                    body: '[{"cmd": "SetWhiteLed", "param": { "WhiteLed": {"bright" : 100, "channel": 0, "mode": 1, "state": 1}}}]'
                  target: state
                  expr: "isnull( response ) ? null: response[0]?.value?.rspCode == '200'"
                "off":
                  http_request:
                    url: "http://192.168.1.31/cgi-bin/api.cgi?user=foo&password=foo"
                    method: "POST"
                    force_json: true
                    headers:
                      "Content-Type": "application/json"
                      "Accept": "application/json"
                    body: '[{"cmd": "SetWhiteLed", "param": { "WhiteLed": {"bright" : 100, "channel": 0, "mode": 1, "state": 0}}}]'
                  target: state
                  expr: "isnull( response ) ? null : response[0]?.value?.rspCode == '200' ? false : null"

Reolink has API where you have to post a JSON and the response will give you a JSON (in theory). It's not really JSON, so force_json: true will do the trick for you. I'm lefting this as an example of cool things you could do with the new capabilites added/documented in 24343. HTH.

small update to align to 24343. https://gist.github.com/dbochicchio/825098ac13b7f8cac22012eae37ff7ce

Ah this point, if I was you @cw-kid , I’ll start taking a look at docker. That’s exactly why they built it: to easily install and manage applications. Just backup your docker file and settings and you’ll move in seconds. I have a backup installation always ready on my synology and ready to run in minutes in case of problems.

therealdb

Copy everything. You’ll also get states.

Thanks to @toggledbits for guidance and the new option to capture response from actions into variables. It was quite fun to write this controller!

As the title says, here's my OpenAI Controller for Reactor:

GitHub - dbochicchio/reactor-openai: OpenAI Controller per Reactor

OpenAI Controller per Reactor. Contribute to dbochicchio/reactor-openai development by creating an account on GitHub.

It supports both OpenAI and Azure OpenAI endpoints. You'll need keys/endpoints, according to each service.
The controller supports multiple models, and each one could be mapped as an entity.

  - id: openai
    name: OpenAI
    implementation: OpenAIController
    enabled: true
    config:
      models:
        - id: openai
          name: OpenAI GPT-4
          model: gpt-4
          service: openai
          api_key: xxxxx # taken from your OpenAI dashboard
          max_tokens: 2000 # default
          temperature: 0.5 # default
          top_p: 1 # default
          frequency_penalty: 0 # default
          presence_penalty: 0 # default
          stop: null # default
        - id: azure
          name: Azure GPT-4
          model: gpt-4
          service: azure
          endpoint: "https://XXX.openai.azure.com/openai/deployments/gpt-4o/chat/completions?api-version=2023-03-15-preview" # taken from your Azure GPT-4 service
          api_key: xxxx # taken from Azure
          max_tokens: 2000 # default
          temperature: "0.5" # default
          top_p: 1 # default
          frequency_penalty: 0 # default
          presence_penalty: 0 # default
          stop: null # default

It's quite easy to use, and responses can be stored in variables, for easy access. Or sent to another action (Text To Speech, another endpoint, etc).

Have fun with LLM into your scenes!

@gwp1 That's not too different from Easter. I have another virtual switch for the current program (as a string). it's set to default unless a specific program is found. My logic is quite easy:

at 1 am, get the current holiday via webcal.guru/fixed dates. save it to a virtual entity.
try to match current holiday with pre-defined light programs. save the value to a virtual entity.
when dark, cycle every 15 minutes and randomize lights according to the current light program.

For Christmas Time after Thanksgiving, you could set a virtual entity/global variable (Christmas Time) to true when it's Thanksgiving and run the corresponding lights only if both are not true. Then, the day after, you'll still have the variable/entity to true, but a different holiday. I have a fixed Christmas Time (1 Dec to 6 Jan), because that's the range we usually have in Italy, so it's easier for me.

I was thinking of creating a specific Controller for Holiday Lights, integrated with webcal.guru or similar, but I fear what every one of us is doing is quite different.

therealdb

I've switched to a virtual entity with both power_switch and string_sensor capabilities to represent the current holiday.

The power switch is used to indicate if it's a public holiday (so, no school/work), while the string sensor is a string with the actual holiday (Easter, Christmas, Halloween, etc - we don't have thanksgiving), mostly to drive lights.

I build it with some static dates (mostly birthdays/anniversaries) and then the dynamics ones are taken from webcal.guru. My lights/scenes are linked to events this way and it's easier to manage it in the long run: just a bunch of group action in the reaction driving the lights. This part is outside Reactor for me (because, legacy), but it's not difficult to completly drive it off a virtual sensor or a custom controller.

I don't know how people are doing this, but I'm lefting a note for the ones looking for a working solution.

@gwp1 I removed the link. Let's see if @gregbowers is a bot or not

therealdb

yep, just use null-propagation operator everywhere:

getEntity(abc)?.attributes?.etc

I use Edge on both my Mac and my iPhone.

Drag and drop is not working on my iPhone because of touch regardless of Safari. It's the same on my touch enabled Dell laptop. It could be accomplished.
There are libraries like https://github.com/heyman/jquery-draggable-touch, but YMMV.

therealdb

what kind of things do you need to send the USB port? because that's achievable with any language, and that's possibile with a Powershell script, to start with. but I think Excel VBA is not the right tool for the job and it's not easy to drive something from it.

therealdb

@toggledbits thanks for the help. I will eventually improve this code and apply capabilities only if the device is somewhat new/changed or at startup. OpenSprinklerController is peculiar, but I think I could manage to achieve this result.

This code is shared among my controllers, I've modified them to better handle updates. Thanks!

therealdb

Thanks for the response.

Regarding response: true, I got the point. I'll try to build an OpenAIController based on this and release it in the next couple of days.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but if I don't have files with local mapping, but I always reload entities and their capabilities, I don't need to use refres*?
See this for reference:

Hi @toggledbits

I'd like to update my controllers with these new features, but I'm struggling to find any guidance in the docs - and in general to understand the context.

Could you please elaborate more? Thanks.

therealdb

I just released a new update. I'll eventually move to a dedicated repo when it's stable. This update will specifically address a couple of too bright colors on rule editor. Just replace the file and remember to hard refresh the browser.

@noelab ciao! I randomize them in Reactor. Just use this:

messages[ floor( random() * len( messages) )

where messages is a local variable like this:

[
"Bentornato a casa",
"Casa, dolce casa!",
"Ciao!",
]

therealdb

@gwp1 thanks.

I'll fix other things along the way and balance some other contrasts. I usually thinker when it's dark, so less light is definitely better for me.

@toggledbits I'll send a couple of notes for suggestions regarding color animations that are apparently hard-coded in Javascript. Don't hate me
