That's a good idea. Use what's already there!

Cool...thanks

Hi Einstein.42: this is great! I run all of my ad-hoc HA stuff on a Raspberry Pi, so I quickly scripted a CGI wrapper for your app - it's pretty ugly since it doesn't really handle output any more than it needs to so Apache won't barf - but it works for being called as a network resource. So, Keypadlinc with a garage button is good to go.

Also, if you or others are looking for a way to reflect the door status on the Keypadlinc in near real-time based on MYQ (instead of another sensor) you can use IFTTT now. I have my MYQ app configured to send an email alert if there is a door open or close event. I created a gmail label to capture those notifications. I then created an IFTTT rule which calls the maker channel to run my Get/Update status program on the ISY when new mail with that label comes in.

For safety, rather than immediately setting a specific status, the program runs the status command in your script and then turns the scene with the KPL button responder on/off accordingly. It doesn't matter if it was an open or close email, it's always handled the same way.

I also have a program which runs every 5 minutes to do the same just in case IFTTT or gmail is gummed up.

This way you can get near real-time status reflection if a native controller is used to open/close the door without hammering their API every few seconds.

Best,

-David

Hi Einstein.42

You helped me integrate my garage door last December. I had issues because the python script was not compatible with my ISY firmaware version. Since then, you updated the script, it was running very smooth. Thanks again for all your help. I just wanted to make you aware that I believe there are new added features or updates on the my-garage.py script. I tried to use the new one this past weekend and it didn't work with my ISY. The odd part though was that, I was able to run the command via terminal and the garage would open or close depending which one I run. However, it is not working from the DSCLink relay server. Even including the full path it is still not working. I am not sure if you have any idea why its not working. The old one still works like a charm.

My current ISY version is 4.4.6. Hope this helps.

I wonder if you received any feedback from anyone with the same issue.

Thanks again for your help.

-Larry

Can you send me the log or attach it here?

lsibarra · July 2, 2016

Hi einstein.42

I am not sure what log are you referring. How can i get or obtain the log? All the log I have was the one form the logs folder. I am not sure if this will help but this is all I am getting. I am new to linux and not sure what the command. Please let me know.

Hi einstein,

Thank you for this, I have this working great on a windows box, I already have one running 24/7 so thought I'd try there first.

It runs great from the command line, but I'm having some issues getting ti to run as a scheduled task I'm still playing around, but anyone have any tips?

Marc

Hello einstein,

I'm running the script with ISY set to False, and am getting the following:

When I issue './myq-garage.py status' I get no results and the following shows in the log:

2016-09-02 20:04:55,062 INFO ==================================STARTED==================================

When I issue './myq-garage.py open garage' I also get no output but the following in the log:

What's the problem here?

Having some trouble with the 2nd Place. The first place is a normal chamberlain door with a door type of 2, The second place is a a Myq garage (adds myq to a non-chamberlain) and the door type is a 7 - which is not supported.

WIth no modifications of the code, I get the door status for the normal door and nothing for the 2nd place. I then added a SUPPORT_DEVICE of 7 to the ones you had (2 and 5) and now I get the status of the door on the 2nd place, but I also get a line:

is Closed. Last changed at Sat 16 Jan 2016 02:49:26

With no name.

And from the log I see that the type 7 is getting door status for two doors - There are two devId that are one number off from each other. I'm pretty sure that the myq garage supports two devices although I only have one connected - Maybe the door that isn't installed is still returning some info?

Editing - Worked on removing the blank door name.

I saw that the name was "" on the 2nd device on the 2nd place so I put a check in the python if the

if len(name) > 0:

DOOR(id, name,state,time)

And that seemed to fix the door with the no name being reported

The number of devices was being returned as 2 but the 2nd device was not being used or setup. Probably is a better way to do this - but this worked.

Interesting. This must have been either a new type or one I haven't seen used before. You are welcome to commit your changes to github and I will merge it.

lsibarra · October 24, 2016

Hi einstein42,

I upgraded my ISY to 5.02 and using the nodelink 0.6.7 with the relay enabled to port 2405. However, I'm having issues with the myq-garage.py script. If I run it in terminal, it works just fine. However, if I run in from the ISY to send the command, it is not responding. Below is the error log I have.

Hope you can help me again and I hope its an easy fix.

Larry

Hi,

I am getting this error message when i execute the command to open/close/status my 'MyQ Garage Door" from linux terminal. Does anyone know why this error is happening? I am currently running ISY firmware 5.0.2. Please help.

einstein.42 · February 6, 2017

Welp. Looks like the 'unofficial API' caught up with us. MyQ has either removed or changed their API and blocked access to the one all of us we using. If anyone can find the new API documentation or if there is even an API at all please let me know. Until then this project is no longer viable. Please take a moment to thank Chamberlain and Liftmaster for their lack of community support.

lsibarra · February 6, 2017

Hi einstein.42,

I really appreciate you looking into this so quickly. It is unfortunate that these companies are not willing to support our community here at Universal Devices. However, I would like to thank you for putting this together for us. It was quite a ride for me for two years to be able to control my garage door with my ISY. I really appreciate all the updates and support you've provided here.

If there is no API available for this, do you have any recommendation or the best solution to control/monitor my garage door?

Thanks again,

Larry

My CGI script still works (at least for me), every time they change something I have to use Fiddler to sniff SSL traffic iOS app sends to MyQ to figure out what changed.

einstein.42 · February 6, 2017

Excellent, I'll get this myq script updated shortly. Thanks xKing.

einstein.42 · February 6, 2017

Ok. Updated.

git pull

xKing I borrowed some of your methods, thanks for figuring that out. Did you find a doc or just use Fiddler? I gave you credit in the source.

xKing · February 6, 2017

Just Fiddler

P.S. I really recommend that you save off the token in a temp file, it's good for about 1 hour, at least that is how the iOS app does it. What's the point of getting a new one every 5 minutes?

Edited February 6, 2017 by xKing

einstein.42 · February 6, 2017

Awesome, I spent a while trying to do it from the gui with wireshark but I couldn't get it. Glad the app was easier. I'll have to look into fiddler. You're the man.

lsibarra · February 7, 2017

Hi einstein.42 and xKing, you guys are awesome :-P

I tested the new script and it works perfectly from the terminal. However, I cannot get it to work from the network module from ISY. Do you have any idea?

Larry

einstein.42 · February 7, 2017

Network module? Not sure what you are doing. Refresh my memory.

lsibarra · February 7, 2017

Hi einstein.42,

I was running the commands via network resource module in ISY using the relay server from io_guy's NodeLink Server. I setup the relay command in ISY as follows:

Command Type: tcp, Host: <rpi_id_address>, Port: 2405, Mode: C Escaped

However, it is currently not working with the script. Therefore, I tried to bypass the config.ini file and entered all the information directly to your myq-garage.py script. Doing it this way, I was able to get the garage to respond from the ISY command via network resource module.

Do you have any idea why it is not working with the config.ini file? Both files (myq-garage.py and the config.ini permission is set to 0755).

Thanks,

Larry

einstein.42 · February 7, 2017

I would assume because it doesn't know where to find the config.ini because it isn't run from that local directory by NodeLink server.

Someone else merged in that config.ini stuff, I never had much of a taste for it. You should be fine the way it is.

xKing, I dug into fiddler and I get a totally different AppID from my ipad that what you had. Thought that was odd.
