Door sensor installed on garage door reports open close status.
Openhab item garage door.
This tutorial assumes you have the gpio binding installed and have already gotten that working for other items.
My config settings.
Raspberry pi relay garage door remote controller and z wave door sensor and some python code.
Looking for ideas what and how to use to add.
Please keep attention to the fact that the door will be shown as open when openhab starts up and the state of the door is uninitialized.
Garadget binding v1 the garadget is cloud based device that futurizes your existing garage door opener letting you open and close your garage door from anywhere including via openhab with this binding.
The controlling is done in one topic.
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.
I regularly do that remotely e g.
Rule garage door 1 when item mygaragedoorstate changed then mygaragedoorproxy postupdate mygaragedoorstate state end rule garage door 2 when item mygaragedoorproxy received command then mygaragedoorswitch sendcommand on end.
Starting openhab in debug mode will display your myq devices and the order they are listed in the api.
For people with only one garage door opener the value needs to be set to 0.
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.
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.
A switch to open close the door 2 switches for feedback for open and closed messages.
No need to wire anything in the garage.
Solution with proxy item.
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 am using a raspberry pi3b gpio pins to control a relay board which simulates someone pressing the garage door opener on the wall.
My first appliance is a garage door that is not only monitored contact but can also be controlled.
The icon shown with switch item garage door is appropriate garagedoor closed when contact is closed garagedoor open when contact is open but the functionality of the switch does not work.
