Re: MyQ Plugin discussion

So the south door was closed and the north door was open? How was that door opened? Wall button, car remote, MyQ app?

Re: MyQ Plugin discussion

Correct. It was opened by car remote.

When I try to open with Indigo, I get the following error:

Code: Select all

Is that the latest version of the plugin?

Re: MyQ Plugin discussion

I think so, It's running 7.0.1.

Re: MyQ Plugin discussion

Trying to use MyQ 7.02, which doesn't have the sensor support, and getting the following error:

changeDevice: Bad return code: Error processing request (217)

Any suggestion?

thanks in advance

Re: MyQ Plugin discussion

Seems to be a not uncommon error with the gateway. See: https://myqcommunity.chamberlain.com/ch ... /error-217

Might be an intermittent error on the MyQ server side.

Re: MyQ Plugin discussion

What is the model 9000? The liftmaster site does not show it?

I have no idea. Where did you get that number?

Re: MyQ Plugin discussion

It was posted in this discussion in November and again later. First post says "Just installed with Indigo 7. I have a new Liftmaster 9000 series with MyQ. Works great so far. I will post again if I run into any issues.." Also, a few other questions, please:

1. Good success with the 8550W ?
2. Requires separate purchase of MyQ option? I think is $99.
.3. Does the plugin know door status, so I can test, say at 6PM, if door is open, and if so, close it?

Thanks!

Re: MyQ Plugin discussion

Ah, that was posted by another user. I have the 8500 jack shaft model, not the 8550 belt drive, but they're the same as far as the MyQ interface is concerned.

I did need to buy the external box that connects to the home lan. I think you can get it for $70-80 or so. List price is probably $100.

The plugin knows the last status that it was able to get from the MyQ servers, but that's not 100% reliable. I recommend installing a z-wave garage door (tilt) sensor and linking it to the plugin device so that the plugin use that for definitive closed/not-closed status. Mine are https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=11987

I guess I should look into seeing if I could tap into the door sensor on each garage door as they are both tied into the alarm system. Might be easier than adding a battery powered Z-wave device into the network.


If the sensor looks like a standard on/off sensor to Indigo, it should work fine. If not, look at my Masquerade plugin to see if you can fake it.

Re: MyQ Plugin discussion

I found a z-wave garage door sensor at http://a.co/8TT7ikr It has gold contacts to avoid corrosion and also a 5-year battery. Found a good article about KRACK at....

Given that it is just two wires; it is either just an open or closed circuit, so it should be fairly simple to get setup in Indigo.


If you have Insteon already installed, then an I/O Linc should work if they are simple N/O or N/C sensors. I think FlyingDiver accepted my patch to the plugin that allows I/O Lincs to work directly as sensors in the plugin without having to use the Masquerade plugin.
