Indigo Domotics

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

Correct. It was opened by car remote.

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

Is that the latest version of the plugin?

I think so, It's running 7.0.1.

OK. I'll look into that.

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

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.

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

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

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!

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.

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.

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.
