Chamberlain MyQ Garage

[Bollar]

Thanks. I would like to try these scripts out.

This thread gives step-by-step instructions: http://forums.indigodomo.com/viewtopic. ... .6#p100734

Otherwise note that my scripts aren't plug-and-play - you'll need to create the variables and you may need to download an entire json file to see what addresses your garage door uses. I'm happy to help with that when you get to it.

I tried the scripts and they work great. Thank you!

FYI: Is not just creating the variables - with pertinent names if you don't have a Range Rover or Telsa or only one better car like a Porsche - you may also need to adjust the index number of the data object for your particular configuration, which depends on how many device are in your account.

I appreciate that. The MyQ device wont be here until next week. I will study everything until then.

Indeed! All we need is someone who understands how to do a plug-in to package this up all nice and neat!

Otherwise, I'm glad I could help - and I'm really glad that someone else figured out the API.

My LiftMaster MyQ gateway will be here next week. I have two of the LiftMaster 8500 openers, which are MyQ compatible but don't have built in Wifi.

I should have this all wrapped up in a plugin by the end of the week.

Well, aren't you awesome?

That's assuming that MyQ works the same for Chamberlain and LiftMaster. It's the same company, but you can never tell.

It does, but there's a different directory called in the API for Chamberlain, LiftMaster & Craftsman. You can see that in the source API I used.

Hmm. I see Chamberlain and Craftsman in that source, not LiftMaster. More research to do...

I have Liftmaster and it works great.

With the scripts as written? Then it uses the same API values as Chamberlain. Not too surprising.

[roquej]

Yes. As stated before, you will need to:

1. Created the variables
2. Populate chamberlainPassword and chamberlainUserID with your correct information
3 Populate chamberlainAppID with the app key as stated in "http://docs.unofficialliftmastermyq.apiary.io/#introduction/constant-values"

Also, you might need to change the index for the data object, which will be dependent on the devices configured in your Liftmaster account. Example, I only have one garage door therefore my configuration is:

statRangeRover = data['Devices'][1]['Attributes'][3]['Value']
statRangeRoverDevice = data['Devices'][1]['DeviceId']

Works great!

I am very looking forward to seeing this as a plugin. Does the script see the occupancy sensor in the wired control?

I don't know yet. My gateway won't be here until Wednesday, so I won't be getting any live data to test until the end of the week.

The security token seems to have a short expiration, so I get a new one each time my scripts run.

How are you doing that exactly?
