Openhab Garage Door Opener

Starting openhab in debug mode will display your myq devices and the order they are listed in the api.

Openhab garage door opener.

My config settings. This tutorial assumes you have the gpio binding installed and have already gotten that working for other items. Looking for ideas what and how to use to add. A switch to open close the door.

There is already a binding available for openhab 1 works on 2 so you can know your home made device will work with openhab. When i am leaving the highway or after i have already driven out of reach of common rf solutions it is connected via mqtt. I can then use this from other rules with garagedoorcommand sendcommand open to open the door. I added a string item for the actual command to open or close the door.

I regularly do that remotely e g. Chamberlain 1 25 hp myq secure view and ultra bright smart belt drive garage door opener with myq and wi fi compatibility and battery back up and led light and camera s item 1630354 model b6765. My first appliance is a garage door that is not only monitored contact but can also be controlled. Hi i am just making my first steps with openhab moving over from a self written interface.

I tapped into the buttons on the wall and ran a pair of wires to the relayboard and connected them to common and normally open. For example when i turn on my home alarm system the garage door is automatically closed. 2 switches for feedback for open and closed messages. Currently have a chamberlain garage door opener and was using the myq add on to control it through openhab but they keep changing the api which renders the add on useless.

If you have multiple garage door openers and or lights the device index is based on the order the garage door opener light s were added to the myq app. Hooray for open source. I am using a raspberry pi3b gpio pins to control a relay board which simulates someone pressing the garage door opener on the wall. Or you can pre order a pre built one.
