Disaster recovery and virtualisation
CatmanV2C

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.

General Discussion
Remote access of Zwave stick from Z-wave server
CatmanV2C

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,local

And 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!

Organizing/ structuring rule sets and rules
R

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.

Hi,
It seems that the widget deletion does not work. I tried to drag the widget to the left (as explained in here https://smarthome.community/topic/1071/deleting-widgets?_=1744037333660)
but it does not delete it. Anyone else experiencing the same problem?

Also the landing page after login is empty and seems be have some JS issues on the dev console:

Need help reducing false positive notifications
T

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)

- name: "Washing Machine" state: > {% if states("sensor.washer_switch_0_power")|float == 0 %} Off {% elif states("sensor.washer_switch_0_power")|float <= 2.9 %} Standby {% else %} Washing {% endif %} icon: > {% if states("sensor.washer_switch_0_power") == "off" %} mdi:washing-machine-alert {% elif states("sensor.washer_switch_0_power")|float <= 2.9 %} mdi:washing-machine-off {% else %} mdi:washing-machine {% endif %} minutes: 2

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 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?

Programmatically capture HTTP Request action status code or error
therealdbT

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!

ZwaveJSUI - RGBWW BULB - Warm/Cold White interfered with RGB settings - Bulb doesn't change color if in WarmWhite state.
N

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: currentColor

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.

Problem with simultaneous notifications.
T

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.

96b3f7db-ba09-499e-a78c-86903b603857-image.png

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?

Problem after upgrading to 25067
R

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.

Global expressions not always evaluated
tunnusT

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.

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?).

[Solved] Local expression evaluation
V

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 have the following test rule:

Advice on Storing and Backing Up Bind Mounts - Docker
PablaP

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!

Software
Local notification methods?
CatmanV2C

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

  • [SOLVED]Logs permissions for Docker Install
    V vezinpi

    Super, it worked as expected.

    My MSR installation date from all the way back at the begining of this treck. I do recollect adjusting the # of logs and size but not adding the "mode". In any case, I see from the dist-config/logging.yaml that the default is 0644 (which would work just fine) and that it is commented out. That is probably what everybody have and the reason why I was the lone woolf out there. I think I will follow the pack and comment it out.

    EDIT: I did add the "mode" back in dec 2021 to fix a similar issue. Things have changed/evolved since causing the issue to show up again.

    Many thanks

  • [SOLVED]Logs permissions for Docker Install
    V vezinpi

    Ok, I guess that I did not put enough information to be clear. I skipped the intro and went directely into what I beleive to be the issue. I should stick with the issue not the solution. My bad.

    I do not go in the container to access the logs or change permissions but I did looked at them, trying understand how that works. Docker volumes, map the /var/reactor of the container to a directory on the host with read/write premissions. From the host it is then, via samba, shared to my PC where I would like to access the logs.

    Because of the permissions of the files, I cannot access the files directely from my PC. I have to change the permissions on the Host before I can access them (It can however, be access from the hosts by using "sudo" ).

    What I was trying to say in my initial post is that the permission are set to 222 in the container that get mapped to the the hosts and eventually to my PC. Changing the permissions on the host is only temporary until Reactor do a log rotation where the files changed back to 222. If the logfiles in the container were created with something like 226 the "read" permission for "other" would ripple all the way to the hosts a then to the PC.

    Like I said in my first post, I am not a Docker specialist but I thought that the only way to permanentely change the logs permissions would be by the application at the container level where they are created.

    That being said, I have been wrong before!

    Again, not a big deal just convenience.

  • [SOLVED]Logs permissions for Docker Install
    V vezinpi

    Not a big issue simply a request if easily doable.

    The MSR logs files inside the container are owned by root witch is fine however, the permissions are very restrictive. I do not know if there is something wrong with my installation but the logs permission are set to 222 (write only). Even if the docker volume is set for Read/Write the log files are retaining these values.

    I go around the problem by doing a chmod 777 on all reactor logs but every time there is an MSR log rotation the permissions are set back to 222. So unless the permission are implemented in the container there is no permanent solution to this (that I know of).

    I do not know much about Docker container so I do not know what is involved here.

    Can the logfiles permission be simply chaged in the container to at least allow "other" read permission?

    Could the MSR log rotation routine implement a chmod to set the permission?

    Just a small anoyance

    Thanks

  • [SOLVED]Hass websocket falsely reporting ready on boot??
    V vezinpi

    @mrFarmer said in [SOLVED]Hass websocket falsely reporting ready on boot??:

    Yes, clear status messages. Click reload. Wait until I see Connected and then go to the status page to see them in alerts.

    When you say reload do you mean "Restart Reactor" from the "Tool" menu? If so, the alarm will show right back until you refresh the page or restart your browser again. In my case the messages are only transitory following a "Restart Reactor" and are gone after I refresh the page.

  • [SOLVED]Hass websocket falsely reporting ready on boot??
    V vezinpi

    Roger that.

    Again many thanks for your patience.

  • [SOLVED]Hass websocket falsely reporting ready on boot??
    V vezinpi

    All right, that did the trick.

    I can clearly see in the log where it is waiting for the connection to be stable and sending the request only after. This is great!

    The 3 alarm are still showing when I use the "reboot reactor" from the Tools menu. It seems that it is only transitory since a screen refresh or re-starting the browser clears it. This is also fine.

    Just making sure that I understand the process. Please correct me where I am wrong.

    • without adding wait_all_controllers: true to the engine subsection, there is no delay

    • with the wait_all_controllers: true the default delay is 60 second

    • If the default delay is not enough then we can use startup_wait: xxxx to change the default delay

    • In all cases the delay is only the maximum delay and the wait will be terminated when the connections is made.

    • If I have 5 controllers, are they all treated individually or the slowest one need to be up before anything happen?

    @toggledbits said in Hass websocket falsely reporting ready on boot??:

    The controllers section is an array. Make sure DynamicGroupController and SystemController are the last two entries in the array.

    I am not sure I understand this one. I never played with the reactor.yaml file, I simply took the template and fill it up. I fail to see why these 2 controller need to be last. In my case I had 2 unused one between the two like it is in the template. I did move them but I am not sure that it really did anything.

    Many thanks for your support

    With startup_wait: 120000 I have the same result as before.

  • [SOLVED]Hass websocket falsely reporting ready on boot??
    V vezinpi

    Well, I just added wait_all_controllers: true and got the following:

    81d0112f-8abe-48d4-aa9d-45dfb5898264-Screenshot 2025-02-05 194050.png

    Commented out the wait_all_controllers: true and change the startup_wait from 60000 to 120000. Will be re-testing my test case shortly.

    Standby

  • [SOLVED]Hass websocket falsely reporting ready on boot??
    V vezinpi

    Hi, @toggledbits

    I just noticed that following a reboot of my raspberry pi, some of the rules, that I was expecting to recover, are not catching up following a reboot. I have made a simple test rule (rule-m6rz6ol1) with only "after Date/time" as trigger and "turn on a lamp" as a set reaction. All my infrastructure is on the same board so Reactor, Hass, Zwavejs, ... are all rebooting.

    Here is the sequence of the test case (All time converted to Zulu to match logs):

    • Rule "after Date/Time" set to 14:05:00z
    • Shutdown on Raspberry Pi at 14:04:00z
    • Power back up at 14:08:00z
    • Rule overview shows true as of 14:08:14z waiting for 00:00:00 in GUI

    From the log I can see that MSR is picking up the rule and knows that the state of the rule has changed from false to true and tries to send the update to HASS but failed with websocket error.

    Here is what I see from the log:

    • 14:04:04z shutdown complete
    • 14:08:08z Power up
    • 14:08:13.111z websocket connection
    • 14:08:15:323z Reaction to the light failed, Websocket not opened
    • After there is a series of websocket connection attempt until 14:08:51z where it seemed to be really ready.

    Back in 2021 we had a discussion (https://smarthome.community/topic/700/solved-start-up?_=1738766986566) and you proposed to add a startup_delay:xxxx and startup_wait:xxxx parameter in the engine section of "reactor.yaml". When I try the startup_delay (this used to be a hard delay), the engine failed to start (I think). I then try the startup_wait:xxxx without any success. Since it wait for the connection status to be up to cancel the delay, it does not do anyting since Hass is reporting the socket up without really being up ( I think...).

    Questions:

    • Did I figured it all wrong?
    • should the startup_delay:xxxxx have worked?
    • Any ideas?

    Here is the log:

    OK now I am stuck. I did add the log but when I submit the editor complained saying that I am limited to 32767 characters. The log from the shutdown to the time the websocket is stable is about 300000 character long. What are my options?

    @tunnus @toggledbits Thank you both for all your explanation.

    Much appreciated.

  • [Solved] Local expression evaluation
    V vezinpi

    @toggledbits said in [Solved] Local expression evaluation:

    Also: it's not correct to compare a time string to another time string. Basically, everything about this expression won't work.

    I understand that, as you explained, expression cannot auto evaluate based on time. However when manually trigger, the expression do work as intended with time and all.

    I Know that your not in the business of teaching others how to code but does it means that, inside an expression, we should never attempt to perform actions based on time like:

    if strftime("%H:%M:%S") < "08:00:00" then
    ...

    Thanks

    Roger that. Up to this point I was really thinking that It would work like Date/Time.

    Thank you.

  • [Solved] Local expression evaluation

    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 have the following test rule:

    Here is the expressioncode:

    vFrom1 = "09:25:00",
vFrom2 = "09:30:00",
vFrom3 = "09:41:00",
vTo = "10:55:00",

# Get current time (format HH:MM:SS)
vToDay = strftime("%H:%M:%S"),

#Get current house temperature
CurrentHouseTemp = getEntity( "hass>Thermostat2 " ).attributes.temperature_sensor.value,

case
  when CurrentHouseTemp <= 19 and vToDay >= vFrom1 && vToDay <= vTo: "true1"   # From1
  when CurrentHouseTemp <= 20 and vToDay >= vFrom2 && vToDay <= vTo: "true2"     # From2
  when CurrentHouseTemp < 26  and vToDay >= vFrom3 && vToDay <= vTo: "true3"  # From3
  else "false"
end

    Thanks for the update and sorry about the timeout issue, I was not aware of it.

    Here is the requested rule:

    @toggledbits Sorry about that. I wrote a second post following that one but probably never hit submit. My bad

    MSR Version 24302

    I simply push the play button for the "Set reaction" of a rule. The action performed as expected even with the error message. (since this happened yesterday, I am just re-typing the error from the screen capture for easy reading)

    EDIT 1: I noticed that the error message was showing 15 second after I push the play button. Since I have a delay in the "Set reaction", I try to remove it and this error is gone. Somehow the delay I am using prior to the "Entity Action" is causing this timeout error.

    Error: Command timeout (195 start_reaction) at _ClientAPI._commandTimeout (http://192.168.2.163:8111/client/clientAPI.js:552:136)

    Here is a different one, more inline with this post, that I just did by editing a "Date/Time" trigger from 8:05h to 8:10h and save. The error message occured when I pushed the save button. The action (save) actually work despite the error message.

    I do not think that this issue is limited to MAC computers. I also have seen similar errors with Chrome from a PC running Win 11.
