Beginning with the next Reactor release, there will be some dependency changes and new deprecations.

These apply to users on bare-metal installs only. If you are running Reactor in a docker container, the following does not apply to you — the container supplies its own dependencies and will be up-to-date.

All versions of nodejs prior to 18 are now end-of-life (no maintenance), so starting with the next Reactor build, they are deprecated for use with Reactor; they will continue to work until March 1 2024 (about 3 months from now), so you need to upgrade before that date. The recommended version of nodejs is 20, which is the current long-term support (LTS) version (EOL in mid-2026). Version 18 is the prior LTS version and still supported (by OpenJS Foundation and Reactor) until mid-2025, so it's a good fallback if you have issues getting version 20 running. As of this writing, the current 20 is 20.10.0, and the current 18 is 18.18.2. Both have been tested with Reactor 23302.

Now, nodejs version 20.9.0 seems to have dependencies that are not easily resolved on Raspberry Pi OS (formerly Raspbian) Buster (Debian 10). If you are using an RPi running Buster, you should select nodejs 18. That gives you until mid-2025 to upgrade both nodejs and the RPi OS to a more modern version (the current RPi OS is bookworm, Debian 12, 64-bit). The tools/rpi-install.sh script will be enhanced for the next build to try to discern what is reasonable for your system and make the appropriate upgrades; it is safe to run even on a current Reactor install.

If you are running an OS other than Raspberry Pi OS, try for nodejs 20, but use 18 as a fallback if you can't get it installed and running.

incalzire.png Hello everybody.
I would like to automate the underfloor heating. At the moment I have the gateway from vera secure and thermostat with receiver from SRT SECURE with z-wave. I would like to connect to the gateway a receiver with 4 channels from sonoff and 3 temperature and humidity sensors from aliexpress as a thermostat. do you think it is possible?
and one more question... how can I change the name of the wireless network and the password from the gateway?
Thank you very much!

I'm looking forward to communicating with you! Thank you.

@togglebits I have another one for you.

HASS controller shows hvac_control.state="heating, cooling or idle".

ZWaveJSController controller shows hvac_control.state="heat, cool, or idle"

I believe hvac_control.state="heating, cooling or idle" should be what the ZWaveJSController should show.

"heat", "cool" or "off" are values assigned to the hvac_control.mode attribute.

Again, not sure if this is related to Reactor/ZwaveJSController implementation or the actual Z-Wave JS UI docker version. I have copied, below, the attributes of the thermostat in hopes it can help.

Thanks in advance.

Certain MSR updates are irrelevant for some users (e.g. only Hass related changes when you are not using one), so I was wondering if there could be a dismiss (firmware) feature similar to Hubitat?

Then when you'll use "dismiss", a blue checkmark would disappear until there's a new firmware.

Noticed that if I try to use a case statement, I'll have to have multiple when clauses, otherwise I'll get syntax error.

(I tried to include a screenshot, but got parse error from the forum...)

The following works:

case when condition == true: "This is true" when condition == false: "Now it is false" else "Something else" end

But this will end up with syntax error:

case when condition == true: "This is true" else "Something else" end

Using build 23242 on Docker

When doing something like curl -o - 'http://localhost:8111/api/v1/entity/ezlo>device_61baf509129e0725bd9f80e1/attribute/dimming.level' I get a response with current dimming level for example "0.6"
but curl -o - 'http://localhost:8111/api/v1/entity/ezlo>device_61baf509129e0725bd9f80e1/perform/dimming.set?level=0.8' sets the dimming level to 0.8 but gives no response which causes the connection to eventually timeout.

Doing it in a browser performs the action but leaves the tab with a spinning wheel of a loading page.

Is this expected behavior?

Edit: Solved in build 22142

Hi @toggledbits

Apparently, there have been some changes to the CallMeBot interface, as the service recently stopped working for me. I've tried several configurations, and none of the ones below are working.

# CallMeBot CallMeBot: profiles: default: # description - A friendly description of this profile (for menus) description: Default Profile New # # api_url - Access URL for CallMeBot API being used api_url: http://api.callmebot.com/start.php # # api_key - (if needed) API key (use for Facebook API, WhatsApp API, etc.). # If the API you are using does not require it, leave it # commented out or blank. api_key: "177xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxTGk" # # source - (if needed) Source field for some APIs.

I have already tested using the phone or the user.

Looking at the action log, I see that it starts, runs and finishes without any problems.

@togglebits I am curious as to why the tilt_sensor.state (primary) = NULL. I believe it should show true or false. I have to use binary_sensor.state instead in my rules.

Again, not sure if this is related to Reactor/ZwaveJSController implementation or the actual Z-Wave JS UI docker version. I have copied, below, the attributes of the tilt sensor in hopes it can help.

I have just noticed that two of my z-wave switches, Inovelli LZW31 and Aeotec ZWA037, although responding correctly to commands such as (turning on the switch, changing LED color, etc.), are not displaying the right power_switch.state when turned ON. All other attributes are showing proper values.

Example when I turn on either switches,
In Home Assistant (hass), the power_switch.state = true while in ZWaveJSController (zwavejs), the power_switch.state = false.

PS I am trying to attach an image but getting "Something went wrong while parsing server response". Also, not sure if this is related to Reactor/ZwaveJSController implementation or the actual Z-Wave JS UI docker version.

Hopefully I have provided the necessary information.

Thanks in advance.

Hi. So when I had my house build I ran a bunch of stuff, one of which being two pairs of speaker wires to each bedroom and to 4 spots around my living room… Over the years I have used them here and there with different success.. But today they sit in my walls just unused.

I converted all the cat6 or 5e (I don’t remember) over to basically eithernet jacks. The cable coaxial well it’s there but now unused. But I was thinking there has got to be some use for two pairs of speaker wires to each room. Can I make them usb plugs? Not sure so looking for ideas.

Thanks in advance for your thoughts on this.
Kevin

Some background
I have two simple rules that will toggle my carport's down lights depending on outdoor brightness when I open the motorized sliding gate. I.e. if the brightness is 1500 lux or less and the gate is opened, the down lights will be switched on, and when the gate is closed, the lights will switch off after 3 minutes. Pretty simple 'coming home' functionality so to speak.

Here's the switch off rule showing the 'hard coded' thresholds

Screenshot from 2023-10-31 18-44-46.png

The problem
I would like to parameterize the lux and switch off delay using entities. I bet the lux threshold can be done with local expressions the same way I do my WC background music scheduling:

weekdays_enabled = (time() >= time(getEntity( "mqtt>wc-music-weekdays-enable" ).attributes.string_sensor.value )) && (time() <= time(getEntity( "mqtt>wc-music-weekdays-disable" ).attributes.string_sensor.value ))

But the since I'm using the Condition must be sustained for functionality for the switch off rule, I have no idea how to parameterize that with some entity value.

So my question is that is it even possible to do this using entities or could there some other way to accomplish the same functionality? In this example it's the sustain -value but I might need same kind of parameterization for the delay reset also.

I have to go with entities, since my own HA system will provide the threshold values for the MSR through the MQTTController.

Help would be appreciated @toggledbits

Reactor then triggers the light, this works perfect. I want to shut the light off when there is no motion, this also works perfect. What I am having am issue with is when someone turns on the light manually I don't want it to turn off after motion is detected. Example: we are expecting a pizza so we turn on the porch light. 5 min later amazon delivers a package, trips motion. 10 min later Reactor is going to turn off the light. If I manually turn on the light before motion is detected I do not want reactor to turn it off. For the life of me I cannot figure the logic out. Does anyone have any ideas?

Looking for a recommendation:

Locksmith is trying to talk me into the Yale Assure Lock Touchscreen with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth - the original 1st generation because they said it's built better than the Assure Lock 2. Any thoughts on this? Which would you recommend?

I see Mul T Lock makes a cylinder (KW-KIDYRL) for Yale Smart Locks. Would this fit the 1st gen Assure Lock, as well as Assure Lock 2? Has anyone tried replacing the cylinder with this on either lock?

Other smart lock I was considering is the Schlage Encode Plus.

Thanks!

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.

Hi @toggledbits

Is there any way that in the trigger the Varable Value could select the desired part of the array?

For example, I could have a global variable VarTEST$[Part1, Part2, Part3] like this: ${{ [TestText, 5, 3] }}. Use the Variable Value to validate a VarTEST[Part2] == 5 trigger.

What am I doing today? I've defined 3 global variables:

3ae76d20-ffce-4f66-9002-1b4d6cc7c3c3-image.png

And I validate each variable.

3bcc1d62-2ce1-41ca-9f00-f98578c0d597-image.png

In short, I would like to have a global variable of the array type, and be able to select which element of the array I would use for validation in a trigger.

Thanks

Hello all I am trying to run the service call browser_mod.popup from MSR to HA. If I enter the service data in YAML like this:

dismissable: true autoclose: false timeout: 120000 content: type: custom:mushroom-alarm-control-panel-card entity: alarm_control_panel.home_partition states: - armed_home - armed_away layout: vertical show_keypad: true target: device_id: e684ad00b76e330e57a8c915dc367bc4

For some reason the target portion of the data isn't sent and therefor the popup shows up on all my browser mod devices not the only one I had specified in the device_id. Here is a snippet of the reactor log, no errors that I see just looks like the target info isn't being passed on.

[latest-23242]2023-10-12T23:51:50.795Z <Engine:INFO> Enqueueing "Main Floor Tablet Alarm Arming Popup<SET>" (rule-lnmn8t54:S) [latest-23242]2023-10-12T23:51:50.800Z <Engine:NOTICE> Starting reaction Main Floor Tablet Alarm Arming Popup<SET> (rule-lnmn8t54:S) [latest-23242]2023-10-12T23:51:50.813Z <HassController:INFO> HassController#hass action x_hass_system.call_service([Object]{ "service": "browser_mod.popup", "data": "data:\n dismissable: true\n autoclose: false\n timeout: 120000\n content:\n type: custom:mushroom-alarm-control-panel-card\n entity: alarm_control_panel.home_partition\n states:\n - armed_home\n - armed_away\n layout: vertical\n show_keypad: true\ntarget:\n device_id: e684ad00b76e330e57a8c915dc367bc4" }) on System#hass>system succeeded [latest-23242]2023-10-12T23:51:50.816Z <Engine:INFO> Resuming reaction Main Floor Tablet Alarm Arming Popup<SET> (rule-lnmn8t54:S) from step 1 [latest-23242]2023-10-12T23:51:50.817Z <Engine:INFO> Main Floor Tablet Alarm Arming Popup<SET> all actions completed.

So I used an online YAML to JSON converter since I am not the good with JSON and it converted the YAML to this:

{ "data": { "dismissable": true, "autoclose": false, "timeout": 120000, "content": { "type": "custom:mushroom-alarm-control-panel-card", "entity": "alarm_control_panel.bar_partition", "states": [ "armed_home", "armed_away" ], "layout": "vertical", "show_keypad": true } }, "target": { "device_id": "34ae76561192c4bb0b64fb07ad0f01c1" } }

When I use this in my reaction the popup doesn't show up properly. Something pops up but it's just a grey bar. Interestingly the JSON version actually does target only the device_id I had specified. Here is the reactor log output:

[latest-23242]2023-10-12T23:52:39.875Z <Engine:INFO> Enqueueing "Main Floor Tablet Alarm Arming Popup<SET>" (rule-lnmn8t54:S) [latest-23242]2023-10-12T23:52:39.880Z <Engine:NOTICE> Starting reaction Main Floor Tablet Alarm Arming Popup<SET> (rule-lnmn8t54:S) [latest-23242]2023-10-12T23:52:40.291Z <HassController:INFO> HassController#hass action x_hass_system.call_service([Object]{ "service": "browser_mod.popup", "data": "{\n \"data\": {\n \"dismissable\": true,\n \"autoclose\": false,\n \"timeout\": 120000,\n \"content\": {\n \"type\": \"custom:mushroom-alarm-control-panel-card\",\n \"entity\": \"alarm_control_panel.home_partition\",\n \"states\": [\n \"armed_home\",\n \"armed_away\"\n ],\n \"layout\": \"vertical\",\n \"show_keypad\": true\n }\n },\n \"target\": {\n \"device_id\": \"e684ad00b76e330e57a8c915dc367bc4\"\n }\n}" }) on System#hass>system succeeded [latest-23242]2023-10-12T23:52:40.293Z <Engine:INFO> Resuming reaction Main Floor Tablet Alarm Arming Popup<SET> (rule-lnmn8t54:S) from step 1 [latest-23242]2023-10-12T23:52:40.294Z <Engine:INFO> Main Floor Tablet Alarm Arming Popup<SET> all actions completed.

My limited skill with JSON has kind of backed me into a corner here, so if anyone could help me format it correctly that would be great!

Here's my second attempt at a Reactor Controller, this time to integrate LG TVs:

GitHub - dbochicchio/reactor-lgtv: Reactor controller for LG TV (webos) GitHub - dbochicchio/reactor-lgtv: Reactor controller for LG TV (webos)

Reactor controller for LG TV (webos). Contribute to dbochicchio/reactor-lgtv development by creating an account on GitHub.

Standard capabilities are provided and TV volume, mute and switch status are controllable.
There's also an action to send toast notifications on your TV.

webos 5+ is required.

@DesT Any plans to reintroduce a dark theme to the forum?

I installed a new iblind this evening and it is appearing in ZWaveJS. It is operational thru Home Assistant just fine. It is operational thru the HA ZwaveJS plugin just fine.

Where it is non-responsive is in MSR for some reason. The entities are there. Adding the node to a Reaction and then attempting to run said Reaction nets me this:

Please note the highlighted logpart - no other iblind has this. In addition, in MSR>Entities several show as null rather than having a value as the others do.

I tried deleting all Entities associated with this device from MSR and then refreshing ZWaveJS in Home Assistant and restarting MSR - the Entities return but in the same state/s.

Admittedly, it's been a very long three weeks at work - I could have missed something obvious during setup but I sure can't figure what it is.
