Friend Santa Claus, please take care of yourself, I'm changing my Christmas request so that you and yours are safe and well! Don't worry about my request.

Thanks.

@toggledbits

Instead of an icon in the widget, you could use the MSR Tools group to access these log files.

Thanks

@toggledbits

As always, you are very quick and attentive; thank you.

The point I mentioned about Windget having an icon to open plain text would be to show the log file in a browser. To see this file today, I have to use PuTTY, log in to my VM, search for the directory, and then open the file with Nano.

I wanted a faster way to view the file in a browser without having to install Apache or a Python SimpleHTTPServer.

Thanks.

Hi!

Is it possible to generate two additional log files, the first being the replica of what is displayed on screen by the Rule History widgets and the other with Recently Changed Entities?

And could I configure the generation of one file per day, and delete the older ones? For example, store the last 5 days?

And being more ambitious, does Windget have an icon to open these TXT files in the navigated?

Well, we're approaching Christmas, so here's my request to Santa Claus @toggledbits

@toggledbits I understood, and I really understand that since the shutdown command doesn't return anything, this scenario is invalid and will remain in a constant loop.

Breaking the action as @tunnus commented doesn't work either, the effect is the same.

Ok, I'll try something then, like triggering a script that gives a return to the Reactor so that it understands that it has completed the task to continue.

Is there any chance that the shell command triggered by the reactor might not wait for a return to proceed?

Thank you.

Hi, @toggledbits!

I have a question about the execution behavior. See the code below, and I'll explain the situation.

This is a routine that, at a certain point, determines that the desktop on which the VM hosting the Reactor is located receives an instruction to perform a shutdown (Shell Command).

When this happens, the desktop is turned off, and then Hubitat detects by a "ping" that the VM has been down, waits 15 seconds, turns off the power to this desktop, and then 15 seconds later turns on the desktop with the Reactor VM again.

After restarting the desktop, the VM is loaded, and the Reactor is triggered. Still, the following problem occurs: I expected that when the rule was continued to be executed again, the next step would be executed, that of the 900-second delay after shutdown, but the Shell command is executed again, and then it goes into a loop, the rule does not advance.

To break the loop, I first have to make the VM not load, change the desktop password, and then start the VM. In this case, Reactor generates an error when trying to execute the Shell Command because of the invalid password and then finishes the routine following the 900 delay step.

Is my interpretation that when it returns, the routine should continue to the next step that has not yet been executed incorrectly? Or does Reactor, through the shutdown command, interpret that it hasn't finished this step and keep trying, which is the correct reaction?

Thanks for clarifying.

@toggledbits I was thinking of the list of running tasks as "Set Rules", a simple way of having this query.

Hi @toggledbits
Is the wish list still open? Is this information that appears in widgets stored in some attribute/element that we can access to use in rules? Or even demonstrate for example in a dashboard in Hubitat?
Thanks!

Just for the record, I have not been able to generate log evidence of the perception I have that there really is a failure in my rules, after the most recent updates (current version HE 2.3.7.141). I see that the delay has increased, or even rules have stopped responding, and I have to force the device to update the status. So, I disabled probe_device a long time ago, and I've enabled it again to see if it helps my perception. I'm still looking at the logs to see if I can detect anything. Thanks.

@toggledbits

Super thanks for the master class!!!!

Well, I've just solved my problem, whether it's the right way or not I can't say, but it was brute force, I used the "which node" command, I located all the directories regardless of version and deleted them (rm node -r), this while being root. Then I did a fresh install solved.

I think we all have a similar problem. My step-by-step was as follows.

sudo apt remove nodejs
sudo apt remove npm
sudo apt autoremove

sudo apt purge nodejs
sudo apt purge npm
sudo apt autoremove

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y ca-certificates curl gnupg
sudo mkdir -p /etc/apt/keyrings
curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/gpgkey/nodesource-repo.gpg.key | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /etc/apt/keyrings/nodesource.gpg

NODE_MAJOR=20
echo "deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/nodesource.gpg] https://deb.nodesource.com/node_$NODE_MAJOR.x nodistro main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nodesource.list

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nodejs -y

Now comes the very rare story, if I'm not as toot I get this information.

node -v
v20.10.0

npm -v
10.2.3

PERFECT!!

But after the su --, I become root and the version that comes is 12? and then I really don't understand. I did the tasks like this, as root and without root, in the same way.

If any expert can help me understand this madness.

Thanks.

Hi @toggledbits

Sorry for using this post, but by giving this instruction, you helped me a lot to find the error.

Is there a way to configure logging.yaml to generate specific files for event types? For example, a file to store only logs that are ERR, another file to have Rule:INFO, or Rule:NOTICE?

I don't want to do without the general file, but if I could create some especially to only show ERR, it could make it easier to maintain the system on a recurring basis.

Any recommendations?

Thanks.

Thank you very much for your explanation. I've tried several ways to configure the phone number or user, without success, but as you say, I think this tool should really be abandoned.

I understand that it's good, because we often don't pay attention to messages, and a phone call is much more useful.

But this change to making calls without an API KEY is really bad, and your decision is totally reasonable.

Thanks.

Hi @toggledbits

First, thank you for your guidance, and see below for the log I've obtained.

[latest-23302]2023-11-15T14:27:47.501Z <NotifyCallMeBot:5:NotifyCallMeBot.js:108> [NotifyCallMeBot]NotifyCallMeBot requesting http://api.callmebot.com/start.php?text=novo%20teste%20para%20numero%20do%20telefone&phone=%2B507xxxxxx33&lang=en-US-Standard-C
[latest-23302]2023-11-15T14:27:48.125Z <NotifyCallMeBot:5:NotifyCallMeBot.js:117> [NotifyCallMeBot]NotifyCallMeBot success 200 OK

If I compare the calls made in MSR with the ones I make directly, there are small differences. The point is that the MSR one isn't working and the direct one is.

MSR NOTIFY CALLMEBOT

http://api.callmebot.com/start.php?text=NEW%20TEST%20NOTIFY&phone=%2B507xxxxxx33&lang=en-US-Standard-C

DIRECT SITE

http://api.callmebot.com/start.php?source=web&user=+507xxxxxx33&text=NEW%20TEST%20NOTIFY&lang=en-US-Standard-C

What I'm checking is that if I configure the phone in this way:

    phone: +507xxxxxx33

the call appears like this - no + in front the number

   &phone=507xxxxxx33&

if I configure it like this

    phone: "+507xxxxxx33"

the call looks like this - between hasps - I have the %2B

   &phone=%2B507xxxxxx33&

When I use the direct browser call

http://api.callmebot.com/start.php?text=NEW%20TEST%20NOTIFY%205&source=web&phone=%2B507xxxxxx33&lang=en-US-Standard-C&rpt=2

Back

Than I change phone to user and add +, work:

http://api.callmebot.com/start.php?text=NEW%20TEST%20NOTIFY%205&source=web&user=+507xxxxxx33&lang=en-US-Standard-C&rpt=2

What I don't understand is that in all the tests, the log always comes back successful.

[latest-23302]2023-11-15T14:57:42.938Z <NotifyCallMeBot:5:NotifyCallMeBot.js:117> [NotifyCallMeBot]NotifyCallMeBot success 200 OK

At the end of the day, if I try to use my @wilxxxxxin username, the call is linked to my old phone, even though I've already changed it on Telegram. In this case, I've already sent a mail to CallMeBot support with no reply for over a week.

Using the phone, which is authorized, the direct call works in the browser or using HTTP in MSR, if I use the Notify feature it doesn't work.

And what bothers me the most is that I understand that anyone who places a call in a browser with my phone number will be made, because there is no API KEY to limit use.

Well, if you have any more ideas to help me, I'd appreciate it.

@toggledbits

I still can't understand what's going on, in theory I'm following everything that the manual says, but for some reason when I change the phone number, @username no longer works, test calling http directly or even the CallMeBot test site doesn't work.

However, if I use the phone number, test it by calling the CallMeBot test site, or use this routine in MSR, it works perfectly.

Direct nagigator:

http://api.callmebot.com/start.php?source=web&user=+507XXXXXXXX&text=teste pela api&lang=en-US-Standard-B

The MSR configuration is the one you mentioned, which I have below, but instead of user I have phone

  # CallMeBot
  CallMeBot:
    profiles:
      default:
        # description - A friendly description of this profile (for menus)
        description: Default Profile
        #
        # api_url - Access URL for CallMeBot API being used
        api_url: http://api.callmebot.com/start.php
        #
        # phone - (if needed) Phone field for some APIs. If yours does not require
        #         it, leave it commented out or blank.
        phone: "+507XXXXXXXX"

And in this situation it doesn't work.

As I mentioned by user, there's something blocking it from working, no matter if it's through the CallMeBot website, direct http or MSR. In the case of using a phone number, it works via the CallMeBot website, it works via http calling directly in the browser or via the routine I put in the MSR. However, using MSR Notification with the above configuration doesn't work.

Could @toggledbits check if the call is in this structure?

http://api.callmebot.com/start.php?source=web&user=<+phone>&text=<text>&lang=en-US-Standard-B

Another rare occurrence is that no logs are being generated in reactor.log.

Thanks.

@toggledbits hi!

I used CallMeBot normally until I changed my phone number, and then I looked up where to generate the new API KEY, and I couldn't find it. So I chose to use the phone number only, and it didn't work. If I execute the command via HTTP on the MSR, it works perfectly. Strange as I said, there is no error message in the logs.

Now you mention voice in Telegram, I didn't know about that. Do you have any recommended material or examples of how to use it?

Thank you.

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. If yours does not require
        #          it, leave it commented out or blank.
        #source: "source-value"
        #
        # phone - (if needed) Phone field for some APIs. If yours does not require
        #         it, leave it commented out or blank.
        phone: "+5xxxxxxxx33"
        #
        # user - (if needed) User field for some APIs. If yours does not require
        #        it, leave it commented out or blank.
        #user: "@xxxxxxxxxxxxx"
        #
        # lang - (optional) Language/voice; default "en-US-Standard-C".
        #        See CallMeBot docs for possible values.
        lang: "en-US-Standard-C"
        #
        # rpt - (optional) Number of times to repeat message; default: 1.
        rpt: 2

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.

[latest-23302]2023-11-05T14:35:54.106Z <Engine:INFO> Enqueueing "teste<SET>" (rule-lolk0nlj:S)

When testing directly on the site, I see that it no longer uses API, and I haven't even found where to generate the API KEY.

http://api.callmebot.com/start.php?source=web&user=+5xxxxxxxx33&text=Teste callmebot pelo numero novo&lang=en-US-Standard-C

Please, can you advise me on what I should do to solve the problem?

Thanks.

Super!! The comment "range operator" opened a window for me I didn't know about this facility.

join((each i in 6..0 : 
        format( "Dia {0} {1} {2:4.1f}mm ",
          substr(HistPrecipitation.daily.time[i],8,2),
          if HistPrecipitation.daily.precipitation_sum[i] <= 2
            then "💦" else "🌧️" endif,
          HistPrecipitation.daily.precipitation_sum[i])), " ")

THANK YOU A LOT!!!

Thanks master

One more help if possible, instead of doing this absurd of code, how could I make a loop, with the count from 6 to 0, that is, regressing?

format( "Dia {0} {1} {2:4.1f}mm ",
  substr(HistPrecipitation.daily.time[6],8,2),
  if HistPrecipitation.daily.precipitation_sum[6] <= 2 then "💦" else "🌧️" endif,
  HistPrecipitation.daily.precipitation_sum[6]) +
format( "Dia {0} {1} {2:4.1f}mm ",
  substr(HistPrecipitation.daily.time[5],8,2),
  if HistPrecipitation.daily.precipitation_sum[5] <= 2 then "💦" else "🌧️" endif,
  HistPrecipitation.daily.precipitation_sum[5]) +
format( "Dia {0} {1} {2:4.1f}mm ",
  substr(HistPrecipitation.daily.time[4],8,2),
  if HistPrecipitation.daily.precipitation_sum[4] <= 2 then "💦" else "🌧️" endif,
  HistPrecipitation.daily.precipitation_sum[4]) +
format( "Dia {0} {1} {2:4.1f}mm ",
  substr(HistPrecipitation.daily.time[3],8,2),
  if HistPrecipitation.daily.precipitation_sum[3] <= 2 then "💦" else "🌧️" endif,
  HistPrecipitation.daily.precipitation_sum[3]) +
format( "Dia {0} {1} {2:4.1f}mm ",
  substr(HistPrecipitation.daily.time[2],8,2),
  if HistPrecipitation.daily.precipitation_sum[2] <= 2 then "💦" else "🌧️" endif,
  HistPrecipitation.daily.precipitation_sum[2]) +
format( "Dia {0} {1} {2:4.1f}mm ",
  substr(HistPrecipitation.daily.time[1],8,2),
  if HistPrecipitation.daily.precipitation_sum[1] <= 2 then "💦" else "🌧️" endif,
  HistPrecipitation.daily.precipitation_sum[1]) +
format( "Dia {0} {1} {2:4.1f}mm ",
  substr(HistPrecipitation.daily.time[0],8,2),
  if HistPrecipitation.daily.precipitation_sum[0] <= 2 then "💦" else "🌧️" endif,
  HistPrecipitation.daily.precipitation_sum[0])

Reading the manual, I understood that it could be something with each, but I couldn't create the expression.

Please, your help.

Thanks.
