MyQ Garage Door Question

[chrsb]

First, I am a newbie so please give me a little leeway-

 

I have a Chamberlain MyQ garage door system and was trying to think of a way to integrate it into my isy.

 

I was thinking if there was a way to find out what the signals it sends to the cloud, the isy could monitor it with the resource monitor and then send me notifications. I know you can use Firefox to capture what is being sent but with the MyQ there is no internet address to use on the computer, it is all done by iPhone. Is there a way to capture wireless signals?

 

My thinking was if it could be done then when I am using Mobilinc's geofence it could let me know if the garage is opened when I am away or if I forget to close it when leaving. I could then use the MyQ program to close it.

 

Am I way off on this thinking?

Probably the easiest way to interface the status of your garage door to the ISY is to use this:

You can then set up an ISY email notification to inform you when the garage doors opens and/or closes including the event time.

Do you have an alarm system that is tied in to your home automation as well?

Tech- thanks for the link, I can already control it using MyQ, maybe I'll just get a door sensor.

 

Big- not yet but am looking into a elk system
