Thanks. That looks very helpful! Also, BTW, your version of the base myq-garage script does appear to fix the problem with having to delete the token. Been running great for about 24 hours now as I build a custom home website around it.

Thank you xKing. I'll give that version a try. Also, as an end-user I ran into a little problem in this scenario. I can run the script fine as a normal linux user from the command line. I am attempting to run this python script via PHP using the exec_shell() function within PHP. When I do that, it's really being run as my apache user (www-data). The problem is that www-data can execute the python script, but it dies quickly with this error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/trent/hal/garage_door/myq-garage.py", line 57, in <module> USERNAME = config.get('main', 'USERNAME') File "/usr/lib/python2.7/ConfigParser.py", line 330, in get raise NoSectionError(section) ConfigParser.NoSectionError: No section: 'main' I found that this is because the www-data user really isn't sitting in the directory where the scipt and the config.ini are held. It can run the script, but it doesn't know where to find the config.ini. To resolve this, I had to edit the python script and change this line: config.read('config.ini') to config.read('/full/path/to/find/config.ini') Regardless if my web server or PHP is running the script, this problem is reproducible as a normal user if you run the myq-garage.py script not from the directory it's located in. For example: This works: $ pwd /home/user/garage $./myq-garage.py This would not work: $pwd /home/user/garage $cd ../.. $pwd /home $ /home/user/garage/myq-garage.py Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/trent/hal/garage_door/myq-garage.py", line 57, in <module> USERNAME = config.get('main', 'USERNAME') File "/usr/lib/python2.7/ConfigParser.py", line 330, in get raise NoSectionError(section) ConfigParser.NoSectionError: No section: 'main' This may not be a concern if you're using ICY, but if you're trying to use it in other ways like I am, it might be problematic for some users. My recommendation, for what it's worth, would be to make a user configurable variable in the top of the python script (which screams out to the user to edit it) which points to the full path of the config file. Or combine the config and script into a singe file. Or make the config file a Python script which then calls the main Python script which interacts with the Chamberain API. xKing, thanks again. I just found this form script yesterday, so I hope to mess with it more and I'll let you know if it solved my token problem or not. EDIT: xKing, I found a little odd thing when running your version. With Mr.Einstin's version I could run it from my command line like this: ./my* status but for yours that fails and it tells me the proper syntax. Your version requires my to run it as ./myq-garage status Basically I can't wildcard the name of the python script when running it. That's kinda odd. I've seen that before, but I can't remember what the fix is.

Hello, Thank you for developing this script and making it public. It's very helpful. I've been experimenting with it on my rasberry pi with the most simple configuration ever; I just added my username/password for my MyQ account and it works for my Chamberlain garage door opener! But, as others have recently reported, I have a problem where after sometime the script no longer returns results (e.g. ./myq_garage.py status returns nothing). I need to delete /tmp/myqtoken.json for it to work again. I first installed it last night, but by this morning I needed to remove /tmp/myqtoken.json for it to work again. Then this morning once I got it working, 2 hours later when I attempt to use it again, it wasn't working. I have not yet done testing to see how long I can get it to work for. /tmp/myqtoken.json is getting created by the standard linux user which I'm using when I run the myq-garage.py from the command line. When it's not working, deleting that file appears to make it work again. I have attempted to change the config.ini's TOKENTTL value from 60 to 50, but that had no effect. Shouldn't the token be getting deleted after 60 (or 50) minutes? Why do I have to manually delete it? What changes would you guys recommend so that this script can be reliably called when needed? Thank you! Also, below, is my log this morning when it wasn't working. The time is a little screwy on my system due to UTC offset. Here is what these times break down to if it helps. 7:00 and 8:00 hour: Over night when I was not using this script or the garage door. When I went to bed it was working. 10:00 hour: When I found it wasn't working this morning and needed to delete the token file to make it work again. Deleted the token file about 10:30. 11:00 to 12:00: When I left the plugin working and went to work. 12:29: Arrived at work to find the plugin no longer working. 13:01: Deleted the token file and the script was working again. 2017-03-27 00:07:12,432 INFO ==================================STARTED================================== 2017-03-27 00:07:13,487 INFO Garage Door is Closed.
