Isibarra, Sorry for the delay in answer. I was engaged in another project and couldn't stop last night.

 

I would agree with Xathros yet again, the only thing I can think of is that you used an integer variable instead of state in the ISY config. That being said, try

 

./myq-garage.py status

 

This is what I get when I run it:

 

Big Door is Closed. Last changed at Fri 18 Dec 2015 07:36:36

MyQ_Big_Door is already set to 0

3rd Car is Closed. Last changed at Tue 15 Dec 2015 19:49:02

MyQ_3rd_Car is already set to 0

 

Paste me what you get.

 

Next I would try to do this:

 

Open up IE or whatever browser you use, and go to http://<your isy ip>/rest/vars/definitions/2

 

It will ask you for a username/password that is your normal ISY username/password. 

 

Paste me the section for e id="38"

 

Thanks,

 

E

Hi einstein.42 & Xathros,

Yes, I created the variable under state variables. I apologize if I didnt include that on my last screenshot. See the new link below.

einstein.42, you indicated to provide you the section for e id="38". I am wondering how did you get that id#. I do not have id="38". The max id # i have is 37. Perhaps could be this could be the issue if the python script is looking for this id="38" instead of id="37"? If so, how do I correct that?

 

Also, running the custom relay commands inside the DSCLink is not working. If I run the command inside terminal, the garage door is responsive but when the command is run inside the DSCLink custom relay, it is not responding. Any idea?

 

Thanks again to both of you.

Yea I meant 37. My bad. What is the output of ./myq-garage.py status?

 

As for the relay server. 

 

Network Resource in ISY:

Name: MyQ_Garage_Door_Open

Protocol: tcp

Host: <your pi ip>

Port: 2402 (by default)

Timeout 500

Mode: C Escaped

Body: MYQ_OPEN_GARAGE_DOOR

 

In DSCLink > Relay Server

Command: MYQ_OPEN_GARAGE_DOOR

Program: ./myq-garage.py

Arguments: open garage door

 

The myq-garage.py file is in the same folder as the dsclink server correct?

The output is

 

Garage Door is Closed. Last changed at Fri 18 Dec 2015 08:49:06

State variable: MyQ_Garage_Door not found in ISY variable list

Fix your state variables on the ISY. Then enable the ISY section again

 

The myq-garage.py file is in the same folder as the dsclink server. See link for the screenshot.

how about ./myq-garage.py status? Sorry I'm not finding any problems. 

I know this is like a mystery... I'll get you a screenshot for the status... but would you know if the myq-garage.py is written in what python version? My co-worker mentioned some incompatibilities between python 2 and python 3.

I wrote it in 2.7 but am familiar with the differences. Any chance you'd be open for a webex for me to look directly?

Hi einstein.42,

Thank you for offering to do a webex. I am currently at work and running those screenshot from my phone via VPN. My VPN within my work network does not work.... hahaha too many "work" words in there...

 

Here is the screenshot link for the status:

Ok. No problem. I should be around this evening as well as this weekend if you want to schedule a few minutes. I'm also adding a logger for some debug info to the program, so I'll have you update it as well. Give me a few hours for that thought. 

Updated with full logging and better error catching. Now logs to logs/myq-garage.py rotating every day with 30 day cache so it doesn't fill up the drive. If using with io_guy's products, it will be in the same folder as his. 'logs'. Also added some better requests exception catching for web or network failures.

 

Updated Readme here. We will call this version "0.5"

Hi einstein.42,

 

I uploaded your updated version 0.5 of myq-garage.py. Here is the log.

The state variable i entered shows but is cannot find it through the script.

 

Hope this log helps.

Do you know if I need to change the DSCServer.exe file to 755 permission? Could that be an issue? It is currently at 644. Also, below is a section of the config.xml data for the dsc server. This confirms the custom relay is written correctly.

 

</section>

  <section name="relay server">

    <item key="repeater" value="False" />

  </section>

  <section name="customcommands">

    <item key="command0" value="" trigger="MYQ_CLOSE_GARAGE_DOOR" program="./myq-garage.py" args="close garage door" />

    <item key="command1" value="" trigger="MYQ_OPEN_GARAGE_DOOR" program="./myq-garage.py" args="open garage door" />

    <item key="command2" value="" trigger="MYQ_STATUS_GARAGE_DOOR" program="./myq-garage.py" args="status" />

  </section>

 

However, it also not working when the trigger is kicked off.

 

Larry

Can you see the command being accepted via the the dscserver log on the web page? 644 is fine for dscserver because it isn't itself executable. mono runs it. That is so weird. Why isn't it finding it when it is clearly right there. I say you rename your garage door and try a new variable and see what happens.

Hi einstein.42,

Do you know how I can find the log for dsc server whether if the command is being accepted? Is there something I need to enable. The only thing I see is the status on the main page of DSC server.

Is there not a log tab on the webpage for dsclink? There is for me. Also it should be in the same location as the myq garage logs.

Yea I don't see anything about how it is receiving the command from ISY in there. Paste me a screenshot of the ISY network resource. 

Hi einstein.42,

 

Below is the partial log from the dscserver.exe

I already changed the name on the garage door to gDoor. As you noticed, id="37" is showing MyQ_gDoor. Thus the dscserver is seeing the new state variable.

Seemed to be doing the same issue.

Huh. Well, you have a few minutes to let me take a look directly? I don't know how else to replicate your issue to find what's going on. 

yes... i do...

send me a private message with your email address and I'll send you a webex. I'll have to get in the config of my-garage.py and poke around as well as ISY, so you might want to change your passwords for a little bit. 

Awesome. I think we got it resolved. Please get version 0.6 here. Found a compatibility issue between the XML responses of the state variable definitions between 4.3.26 and 5+. Should be resolved now. Also fixed that path direction issue we noticed on testing Isibarra.

 

Thanks for being patient and helping me find that one. Wasn't easy to reproduce! 

Hi einstein.42,

Thanks for resending me the updated myq-garage.py for v4.3.26 ISY version. Thanks for your help. I will check it out in a bit and will report back.

Hi einstein.42,

So awesome... as soon as I uploaded the new version, and run it in the terminal... it found the state variable right away. Everything is now working. I still kept the full path on the relay server since replacing it with ./myq-garage.py only does not work on mine.

 

Thank you so much again. I really appreciate all your hard work and effort on getting this fully functional.

 

Cheers,

Larry

Yep, that's correct. Great, glad it is working. Now you just need to find a way to run the MYQ_STATUS command like once every couple of minutes from ISY. Or you can setup a crontab on the pi. Choices are the spice of life. 

Hey einstein.42,

I have a sensor on that garage that's already integrated in DSClink. Should I use that to change to update the garage door state variable instead of running MyQ_STATUS every 5 minutes? Which one do you think is better
