    • Constraints under triggers or under constraints, what is the difference?

      A

      Need to ask, have thougth about this since the move from Rector to MSR I think.

      What is the difference between putting constraints under trigger groups, like this
      23b4a249-3292-41cd-9927-7f49c9bf1d07-image.png

      Compared to this similar rule, but the time limits is under contraints instead?
      ee596c9f-f52b-4a39-9605-f5932f3d9ed5-image.png

      I think the Constraints parts in manual is still to be done because I can only find in the chapter menu, but it is not mentioned anywhere else.

    • Adding remotes, scene controllers as entities to MSR

      A

      EDIT: 2022.07.01

      So I will try to remake this thread to some kind of guide for future use, or in worst case a documentation of my failure. At least that could also be useful for letting someone know what didn't work...
      I have zero knowledge of programming, so every time I need to edit a config file in HomeAssistant or similar it requires a good portion of googletime and read, re-reading instructions.
      Also is english not my native language, so bear with me.

      Two goals!
      1: Get MSR to take notice (and then actions of course) of pressed buttons on remotes.
      2: Document what I do in hope I can help someone else in the future.

      I will use a Fibaro Keyfob as described below, but what I understand from Togglebits answers most type of remotes should work in similar ways.

      Original thread:
      Fibaro Keyfob support in MSR? (thru Hassio & Z-wave JS)
      Hi

      I just bought a Fibaro Keyfob FGKF-601 and plan to give this to my son so he can control some stuff in his own room. Primary some lightning and Sonos, maybe blinds in the future.

      As the noob I am it will, of course, not work as I expected.👶🏻

      The remote handle 1x, 2x, 3x clicks per button (six of them) and "release button"
      I thought that it would appear like some "scene controller" in HA and that I could make Rules in MSR depending on what scene-entety that was triggered.
      So is not the case, and if that is because of HA, Z-wave JS or MSR I have no idea.
      I found a HA Blueprint that works in HA, but of course I would prefer to keep all automation in MSR.
      I guess a workaround could be using HA virtual switches "Helpers" that I suppose will come up as an on/off trigger in MSR, but before going this way I would like to check with the wisdom of your guys if there is a better way of doing this.

      I am using:
      MSR 22168 on windows.
      Home Assistant Core 2022.6.7
      Home Assistant Supervisor 2022.05.3
      Home Assistant OS 7.6
      Z-Wave JS version: 0.1.64

      tunnus

      Running MSR 22123 in Docker container and trying to use "condition must occur after" option. Will update to the latest build and log a PR if needed, but wanted to poll first if anyone is using this option successfully?

      I have the following rules:

      Screenshot 2022-06-28 at 15.18.50.png

      Notification activity connected to "Alarm disabled" rule did not trigger. I also did another test with quite simple rules and that didn't work either (FWIIW - when observing that test in "real-time", I didn't see any timer running on the second rule while the first rule was true).

      As said, before going further with debug/logs, nice to know if someone is using this option/restriction (successfully).

      Before updating to 22178 there was a primary value echoed in MQTTControllers echo capability, can I tell the controller which value to put as primary from HASS sensors after this change as it now is null? or is it a bug?

    • Using InfluxDB with MSR

      wmarcolin

      Hi!

      I have a system that I consider pretty stable, running in a VM Ubuntu 20.04, it has some communication failures, but I think more by HE than by the OS/MSR.

      I'm thinking of taking the next step to get more advantages from the system, and I'm thinking of using InfluxDB maybe for queries or to extend rules.

      The question is, I would like practical examples of what really helps to install InfluxDB? What would you be doing that really makes a difference with this installation? Can you post examples of features or information?

      Thanks

    • Synology NAS docker image replacement

      MikeReadington

      Hi Everyone,

      MSR had a docker image file naming convention change, and I am not exactly sure how to swap the image out. I'm sure it's not rocket science, I've just never done this before.

      I am using a Synology NAS, and under the environment tab there is a "REACTOR_IMAGE" variable. Can I just change the image name to the new image naming convention and clear the container, or should I launch a new container and populate the volume location from the previous reactor?

      Thanks in advance

    • Cheapest platform on which to run MSR

      T

      Please can anyone give me advice on a cheap way to run MSR (both initial cost and ongoing electricity cost). I currently run it on my QNAP network drive (which works very well incidentally). However, this draws a constant 35Watts (£90/yr @ 30p/kWh) and given the recent rise in fuel costs I am evaluating the best way forwards. Note, I only really need to turn my QNAP on for an hour a week to back-up my computer data. I understand that MSR can run on a Raspberry PI, but I am not competent with Linux! Thanks.

    • Copying configuraiton and rules from QNAP install to Raspberry PI 4 install

      T

      I have made good progress setting up a new Raspberry PI 4 with the latest OS (64bit) and latest Reactor images in Docker. However I am not able to copy my configuraiton files (.yml) and reactor reactions over. I am not yet that confident with linux commands, so I have tired to drag and drop the files from a USB drive to the working folders in my new Raspberry PI. I am getting a popup in the GUI stating 'The file operation was completed with errors.' and Errors occured: "rule-xxxxxx.json: Error opening file "/home/pi/reactor/....................................json":Permission denied.

      I suspect it's something to do with permissions?

      Is there an easier way to copy my configuration over??

    • OpenLuup - problem with solar AZ and ALT variables?

      A

      Wanted to check if was day or night and figured I would use:

      local altitude = luup.variable_get(SID.SOLAR, 'ALT', ID.OPEN_LUUP)

      If altitude is positive it's day, else it's night. However when I read these variables they are incorrect for my locale. The actual values for sunset and midday are correct but do not occur at sunset or midday. I have checked the clock that openLuup uses and it's correct.

      Now the time for midday is one hour out and the time for sunset is 13 hours out.

      I checked this by getting the UNIX epoch for my location for both sunset and midday and then adding the hours of offset and then called:

      local ID = { OPEN_LUUP = 2 } local SID = { OPEN_LUUP = "openLuup", SOLAR = "solar" } --local localTime = my_epoch_for_midday + (3600*1) local localTime = my_epoch_for_sunset + (3600*13) local coords = {Epoch = localTime, '', Latitude = '', Longitude = ''} luup.call_action(SID.SOLAR, "GetSolarCoords", coords, ID.OPEN_LUUP) local altitude = luup.variable_get(SID.SOLAR, 'ALT', ID.OPEN_LUUP) local azimuth = luup.variable_get(SID.SOLAR, 'AZ', ID.OPEN_LUUP) print('New altitude: '..altitude) print('New azimuth: '..azimuth)

      and I get the right answers.

      Not sure what I'm doing wrong. Or perhaps there is some code mix up with UTC versus local time. I checked the documentation but no mention of the solar variables.

      If I look at the chart it looks like the whole thing is correct but shifted by my timezone. However I wouldn't expect the timezone to come into play in these calculations.

      Feature request: would like to see an openLuup variable that is true for day and false for night. eg IsDay

    • MSR Upgrade from 22119 to 22136 fails, service wont start

      W

      Windows Server 2022 Build 20348
      Nodejs v16.14.0
      Currently running Reactor (Multi-hub) stable-22119-ae7212f
      Linked to Hass 2022.0.5.4 (on a different box)
      Windows server is dedicated to MSR and doesn't do anything else.

      I'd like to upgrade to 22136 to take advantage of the SSL feature added recently, and also to bring my current version of Hass into the 'supported' column with MSR.

      Following the instructions here: link text, section "Upgrade Windows Bare Metal"

      Stop Reactor Service Extract the zip, overwriting the reactor folder in c:\reactor\reactor There is no package-lock.json file so I skip that. Run "npm install --no-save --omit dev"

      Next step is to start the service. I start the service and it immediately stops. "Windows could not start the Reactor service on Local Computer. Error 1067: The process terminated unexpectedly".

      Tried rebooting, service won't stay running.

      I suspect I'm missing something, it's probably obvious but I've not been able to figure it out.

      I rolled back the reactor folder version (Windows Shadow copies) and then the service starts fine.

      Anyone else running Windows and know what I'm missing?

    • Status page rule history length.

      MikeReadington

      Hello Patrick,

      On the status page rule history is there any adjustably on length of the history shown? I had an occasion where it would have been helpful to go a few notches farther back than it does as currently configured.

      I don't know if this is a log parser or if it is a separate smaller data set. If it is a log parser, any chance for maybe something like a "more" button?

      Thanks,
      Mike

    • RE: Version 1.0 Pre-release Discussion

      Suggestion for MSR version 2 or 3.

      In Tiggers and Reactions could have an Action by Category/Sub-Category, i.e., instead of having to select all door sensors one by one, if all are in the same group the action would be for all.

      I believe there should be a panel similar to Enteries that would list all the devices based on the existing list (http://wiki.micasaverde.com/index.php/Luup_Device_Categories). The list would have this division and would show the name of all the devices, and it should be possible to select which device would be part of the action. I.e., I can have for example 10 window sensors, but I want only 5 to be part of the group action, I would deselect the other 5 for an independent control.

      In Trigger and Reaction the selection would be as suggested Entety Group Action > a Category selector > and a Subcategory selector > binary_sensor.state (primary) TRUE or FALSE.

      My suggestion is not to have to create an action like the one below.

    • RE: [Solved] Is there a cap or max number of devices a Global Reaction should not exceed?

      Hi, I asked @toggledbits to reopen this very long thread, to give a testimony of a situation that I believe can help others.

      I apologize for the long message, let's recapitulate the history.

      The discussion was based on possible device limits on MSR actions, which Patrick explained there would not be, but the situation described was very similar to the scenario I posted in my message, of numerous failures on actions sent from MSR to Hubitat (December 16, 12:28am). That MSR was much faster than Hubitat could process.

      I posted an example where I had to execute a series of Reactions that would turn on lights, and also turn on outlets, it always failed, I demonstrated that the MSR would activate everything, but Hubitat would not execute.

      Then came the topic and orientation that my Hubitat should not be next to my WiFi router that could be interfering with the Hubitat signal, I even sent a picture on December 17 and provided the change (TIP 1).

      Well obviously, as the change of position was big, I had to redo 3 times the entire mesh network, adding and removing devices. I followed the instruction of many masters, do the network from the center, i.e., from Hubitat to the outside, including first devices that use electric power because they are repeaters, and then those with exclusive battery power (TIP 2).

      Well, our friend Patrick releases version 21351 and then 23360 where he adds much more aggressive management in the communication MSR x Hubitat, it improved a lot. But unfortunately, I kept having problems.

      Then I asked for help again to go forward and see what to do to improve, we entered in the theme that several posts from the Hubitat community mentioned devices that use the S0 security, that this creates problems in the mesh network by high traffic of unnecessary information, new action remove and include again the devices that had S0 (TIP 3), another action that helped the network. What was not possible, we reactivated the Vera hub and put these devices back in, removing them from the Hubitat network.

      We were evolving, but the situation persisted, actions that triggered many actions to Hubitat could still have failures, and the worst actions using Hubitat's own dashboard were also not being executed.

      Well, I returned to the discussion of when I changed the Vera to Hubitat, which highlighted several points of change, but one very bothered me, the Hubitat Z-Wave signal, much weaker than the vera (https://smarthome.community/topic/776/switching-from-vera-to-hubitat/9?_=1644189698709).

      Well 4 days ago (2/2), moved by the courage I opened my Hubitat and followed the post (https://community.hubitat.com/t/external-antenna/81396/28) (TIP 4), and installed an external antenna for z-wave, here I show that I bought and installed (https://community.hubitat.com/t/elevation-c7-possible-faulty-z-wave-radio/52977/91). In this post the discussion started with the theme S0 and S2, and went into the antenna theme.

      MY TESTIMONY OF WHAT HAPPENED

      A revolution, my Hubitat got a new life, it is another equipment:

      • Before I had 15 direct devices in the hub, today after 4 days there are already 36 of 64, and I see that every day is increasing as the network is being restructured. There was the absurdity of equipment in the same environment as the HE, but behind a column, using two other devices to reach the HE that was less than 4 meters away, now communicates directly;
      • There was almost no equipment that communicated at 100kbps, most were between 9.6 and 40, now most are already 100, and a small number, 5/64 are at 9.6 kbps;
      • Remember the thing where I had to turn on several lights and power outlets all together? it didn't fail anymore, as the devices speak better and faster like the HE, I don't see this failure anymore;
      • I also talked about actions commanded by the Dashboard that the device did not respond to, it is not happening anymore either.

      In summary, in my case that 3/4 of the devices are not repeaters, they use batteries, my z-wave mesh network had a lack of repeaters, and this generated a generalized degradation. Now, with this better signal, if not eliminated the problem, I reduced it to almost zero.

      Now pay attention, the operation of putting up the external antenna seems simple, but it is not. The antenna connector that is soldered to the board is very small and difficult to handle. So if you go this way, look for a cell phone repair shop, they will surely have the best technique for this change.

      Thank you, and sorry again for the long message.

      @gwp1 maybe this can help if you still have a problem. Your tip to move the HE away from the Wifi was also precious, thank you.

      @SweetGenius your comment that there might be an overwhelming in the hub was correct, the action_pace action was a help, but the signal improvement I describe was the solution when I have a more fast response of the devices, reducing the overwhelm. Thanks.

      @toggledbits our last messages, before I wanted to incinerate Hubitat, also helped a lot on the way. Thank you for all your dedication.

    • RE: Version 1.0 Pre-release Discussion

      Hi!

      I've only been using MSR for 3 days, so I'm too much of a beginner to have opinions, but I want to try to collaborate:

      1. First thanks to @cw-kid , with the simple tip of the installation page in the manual, I finally managed to take the step and install it on Windows 10. I see some comments on automatic startup, it was simple to put in the task scheduler a bat to run the "node app.js", and works very well on computer restarts. Now I did not understand why the instruction "Running Reactor Continuously" with the command "nohup ./app.sh &", what is the difference?

      2. Regarding the Constraints question, I don't see much value, or don't know how to use them. I thought that if we first have the obligation to meet the Constraints (e.g. be in home mode and time between 8am and 5pm), only then do we start evaluating the Triggers (e.g. movement in room, open door...) it would make more sense to me. That is Constraints as a basic obligation, and Triggers in the next group of the variables of the action. Right now I'm thinking of putting everything in the Triggers block.

      As I commented I only have 3 days, but I already see that Patrick @toggledbits again doing an exceptional job, if the Reactor was already great, I do not know how to classify what will be the MSR by the little I've seen. What I see for the future:

      1. A translation will be needed in the selectors of so many technical terms, for a more fluent, layman-friendly message. An example FROM x_vera_svc_micasaverde_com_SecuritySensor1.Tripped TO only Tripped;

      2. A dashboard unique to the Rule Sets. What you have today allows us to turn on/off, edit, reset... I think of something simple and straightforward like the Action Icon (I love the Reactor icon), green color on, yellow already have conditions met and could go into execution, and red in execution. It would be a dashboard for easier visualization on the phone. If you can then configure that shows or not would be great, who knows version 3, 4....;

      And sorry this may not be the forum, but reading the posts I see a strong tendency to recommend the use of the Docker container. Is there a real difference in usage with respect to having the Windows 10 installation? Are there performance issues? Any functions that will not operate well? Is the communication between HA and the computer running Windows 10 worse? I see on the Vera panel that a device changes condition to unTrigger, and it takes quite a while to see the reaction on the MSR, is there a difference between container and windows?

      Once again my many thanks to everyone for the work being done, I finally see a light in not depending on hardware to be able to have good automation at home, in a simpler way. As many have commented, soon Vera will be just a radio antenna 🙂

    • RE: Version 1.0 Pre-release Discussion

      I had forgotten one very important thing, if possible now, that "Reset Reaction" can copy the "Set Reaction" actions from the same rule sets. It will help a lot to configure to turn off several lights that were on before.

    • RE: A couple of suggestions for MSR

      @toggledbits

      Surely in an election between all users, this is the most important "a tool to see where I'm using an entity, as trigger or condition". You have already explained before the difficulty, and that the effective use of a DB would help this crossing of information, but the cost of the DB is still high and can sacrifice a lot of the system.

      One day you will find a way to #1 MSR request.

      I would add one more request, that I have commented on before and I am sure you have in your notebook of improvements for the future. In the home screen, the same way you have the Recently Changed Entities board, a board that can show the history of what happens in the Set Rules, so it would be possible to follow the last actions.

      And again and repeat "Thanks for the hard work @toggledbits" !

    • RE: Using InfluxDB with MSR

      Hi @toggledbits!

      An example could be queried, in which rule am I using a certain device? I believe you have already commented on this before.

      Using the database would also be possible to visualize information like the Z-Wave extensions, e.g. Last Activity? And apply this to rules? I mean, I understand that the Reactor information is exported to InfluxDB, but can I bring it back and use it in the Reactor?

      I see several people commenting on using InfluxDB with Grafana in HE to generate Charts. Can I use the same DB for HE and for Reactor? In other words, what HE would export to InfluxDB, can I also consume in the Reactor?

      Thanks,

    • Using InfluxDB with MSR

      Hi!

      I have a system that I consider pretty stable, running in a VM Ubuntu 20.04, it has some communication failures, but I think more by HE than by the OS/MSR.

      I'm thinking of taking the next step to get more advantages from the system, and I'm thinking of using InfluxDB maybe for queries or to extend rules.

      The question is, I would like practical examples of what really helps to install InfluxDB? What would you be doing that really makes a difference with this installation? Can you post examples of features or information?

      Thanks

    • RE: Integrate UPS with MSR

      @toggledbits

      The NUT and MSR are in the same HW, but NUT is in a Linux VM, and MSR I run in Windows.

      I was able to build a rule in MSR that analyzes 3 attributes of NUT, that if they stay without changing the content in 5 minutes gives me an alert of failure.

      Strange, when I look at the service, it is all active, what crashes is the UPS driver, so I have to run

      upsdrvctl stop
      upsdrvctl start
      

      Now, is it possible via Windows MSR to trigger a command in the Linux VM to do this restart? It would avoid having to crontab, only reboot in real failure conditions, and not every 10 minutes.

      Thanks.

      Okay, job done, UPS > NUT > MSR > HE 😁

      b1f2e9c1-c0ca-4a0d-9311-6536575369e9-image.png

      The only thing that bothers me is that the UPS drive stops working without explanation, and I had to put a routine in crontab for it to restart every 10 minutes, I find this horrible but it was the only solution from everything I read, and I am not the only one to do it.

      Hi!

      A query, my NUT service stops working recurrently, and when I make the query upsc myups@localhost I get the message Error: Data stale.

      To get it working again I have to run upsdrvctl start to restart.

      Has anyone experienced this difficulty?

      Hi Patrick

      Well, I got all the installations done, and NUT is connected to the MSR.

      6a1adacb-a7c6-4b97-9625-c10705211279-image.png

      Looking at the Reactor log, no error:

      In the VM using the command: upsc smart1500lcd@192.168.33.25 shows all the UPS data.

      So, my difficulty as can be seen on the first screen, that I don't get the detailed UPS information in the MSR.

    • RE: Integrate UPS with MSR

      @toggledbits

      NUT installed and running, it was a long way, I had to install VirtualBox and create a Linux VM because I couldn't find anywhere how to have NUT for Windows.

      Now I see that to install NUTController you have to be Linux too? If your answer is yes, then I will have another huge journey, move the MSR from Windows bare-metal to this VM I created, and we will have to read a lot of manual, I know nothing of Linux.

      As always Patrick, thank you for your attention.

      I will follow your recommendation at the weekend and see if I can then have control by NUT, if this is possible then I communicate to you with your usual kindness to help us to then have access via MSR.

      Thank you very much and I will inform you next week.

      The application I installed runs Java and opens the console to send the information.

      Has anyone tried to bring the information into the MSR? Or even a VeraPlus?

      Thanks.
