The latest version of the Docker image vwout/openluup includes LuaJIT 2.1.0-beta3.
OpenLuup is not (yet) automatically run using LuaJIT. In order to use it, you need to manually change openLuup_reload_for_docker and changes the lines lua5.1 openLuup/init.lua $@ to luajit openLuup/init.lua $@, especially if you are using volumes or a mount as source for /etc/cmh-ludl.

Probably a really dumb question.
Currently I am using the owntracks_sensor for tracking phones being in region in MSR and it works great.
Digging around with Home Assistant and toying with some dashboards, is there any way of exposing that sensor to HA trivially? I could set MSR to trip a virtual switch in OpenLuup which can then be exposed to HA (with all my other Vera devices) but that feels a bit in-elegant if I can do it directly.
Any thoughts?
Apologies if the ask is not clear/
TIA

Use case:
When performing home maintenance, such as air conditioning, I want all rules involving air conditioning to be disabled.
To do this, to day, I have a virtual switch that I placed within all rules involving air conditioning, meaning that if I turn it off, none of them work.
Then another situation: the water pump system and garden irrigation, another switch.
In short, I had to create several virtual switches in Hubitat to disable rules in MSR.
Unfortunately, however, I was unable to cover all scenarios, so I wondered if it would be possible for MSR to support a virtual MSR switch, which, when configured in the reactor settings, would function as a general on/off switch for MSR.
If it is configured and turned off, the entire rules and actions in MSR stops working, except for the status change reading process, specifically for this switch, which, when turned on, would restart the MSR.
Would it be possible to do something like this? Any recommendations from the experts?

As there are statements about compatibility for home assistant versions in MSR new version announcements (e.g. "HassController: Bless Hass to 2025.7.3"), I thought it would be good idea to track other controllers as well.
As an example, I can confirm that build "latest-25208-c53e8513" works with Hubitat Elevation C-8 platform version 2.4.2.134 using Maker API.
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.
I foolishly let my system wipe all cookies this morning and with it my settings for my MSR home page.
Once logged back in I can no longer remove errant panes nor is the + available to add new ones.
Brave Browser v1.80.122 (Jul 16, 2025)
What have I done?!
Will check other browsers on my M1.
UPDATE: Safari exhibits same behaviour.
I've tried both sans last-four public key entry and with - no change.
@toggledbits, not sure if this is a feature request or I'm using the search tool wrong. You have a "Search for rule" in the Rules Set tab in MSR. It works nicely to find a rule and bring up said rule, but can it/could it be used for as a "where used?" global search? For instance, I have a fairly large set of rules, divided up into 10 different rulesets. There's easily a hundred individual rules, and many of the rules have Rule State triggers, which of course refer to other rules. Amongst my troubleshooting today, I came across what may have been a duplicate or troubleshooting attempt, but I can't tell if it's actually used as a Rule State in another rule without opening each rule that I suspect it may be a part of.
Thanks.
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
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:

and in reactor.yaml I have:

friendly_name: 'Lay-Z-Spa States'
include: layzspa_message
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.

Moving to Docker@akbooer As @RHCPNG said, you can easily do this, once you have a running setup by copying the contents of
/etc/cmh-ludl/to a local folder, restart the container with that folder mounted to/etc/cmh-ludl/.The difference between using a volume and a folder mount is (amongst other details) how Docker handles this at first startup. When using a volume, Docker copies the contents of e.g.
/etc/cmh-ludl/when it is started with a empty new volume, to that volume. As of that moment all changes are kept in the volume and survive container restarts and updates.
A mounted folder also preserves all settings, but in contrary to volumes, Docker does not copy the original contents of the mount target to the folder at first startup. This means you need to store create the files needed in/etc/cmh-ludl/yourself, which makes it harder to initially get start (except for one who masters openLuup
). -
Moving to DockerHi all, @akbooer asked me to join this community - so far I was only active on MCV. I am the author of the Docker image for openluup that is referred to in this thread.
I quickly read the complete thread. Most of the comments contain valid statements.
Personally I would not avoid containers as the pest - in fact, you can't ;). Containers exist for a long long time (at least in the Linux kernel) and play an important role for isolation of processes/networks/filesystems. Docker has made this system significantly easier to use and understand. By now also Windows supports containers and (in the latest builds even without HyperV virtualization) can even run Linux containers. This begins to fade the most significant difference between VMs and containers away, this being virtualization (for VMs) versus isolation (containers). Opposed to VMs, containers are very lightweight (try creating a VM that runs openLuup in under 7MB :D). A container does not contain a kernel and does not have an operating system. It also cannot run on itself.Maybe some of you experienced the 'dll hell' - the issue where the installation of an application breaks another application, because one overwrites a shared library of the other. This is what you can prevent by packaging applications and one of the reasons for things like snap, flatpack and docker to emerge.
So as @toggledbits mentioned, a (well written) container indeed does not contain much. A docker container basically provides the 'batteries included' concept. This makes it very easy to get started with a new application like openLuup. In order to get the same experience with a VM, you'd need a pre-build image, or an automation system like Ansible, Puppet or Chef - tools that not every newbee is likely to master.
There is no general 'better' when it comes to VMs verses contains and in many cases both are used, each for their own specific benefits, one of which is personal preference.
When you, like @akbooer, want to consolidate your setup on a not highly powerfull NAS, a container is the way to go.
