MyQ and door sensors?

[FlyingDiver]

How many MyQ users also have sensors on their garage doors? I installed a couple of these last week: http://www.monoprice.com/Product?p_id=11987

Now I'm working on a version of the plugin that uses the sensors to set the door state to eliminate polling (or reduce the frequency, anyway). That part is working fine. Now I need to figure out how to cross-check the sensors against the MyQ reported status after any commanded or detected change. And then I'll need to add some Events to report a mismatch.

If you're interested in testing, let me know.

I still have IO Lincs with sensors installed on my doors and can test for you - I was planning to remove them, but can hold off for the cause.

I think this version is ready for testing.

I'm getting this error continuously repeating:

Code: Select all

   MyQ Error                       Error in plugin execution ServerReplacedElem:

Traceback (most recent call last):

Darn. I thought I fixed that. Do you have sensors linked to the doors? You edit the device to assign them.

I gave that a shot - the IOLincs I used to monitor the door status aren't in the device list. Basically they're a binary input that's open/closed.

So how do they show up in Indigo? Not as sensor devices? I grab all indigo.sensor devices for the list.

[Bollar]

I don't know for sure - I think of them more as relays, since they also have an output.

[FlyingDiver]

OK, that's an iodevice, and adding that would also require that I implement a way to identify the state to monitor. Doable, but not quickly.

Are there any custom states for that device not shown in the standard UI?

I still need to fix the issues when there's no sensor linked.

No, what you see is what you get.

I'm using the https://www.amazon.com/Ecolink-Intellig ... zwave+tilt and it seems to be working fine. I had a little bit of trouble with errors spawning after I ran the upgrade but figured out it was because I did not have the associated Tilt sensor setup for each of the garage door openers. Once I had those associations made in the plugin it has been running error free.

Good to hear. I need to roll the changes in 7.0.2 into the sensor version (7.1.x) and fix the errors from no linked sensor. Then I'll put out another test release.

I just generated an error when I attempt to configure the plugin:

Code: Select all

Error (client)                  runConfigDialog() caught exception: PAXDialogControllerError -- Field ID statusNote was already used. Every <Field> element must have a unique field ID.

Woops. Editing error. I'll fix that in the next test release.

v7.1.2 is available now. This is a pre-release, so the built in updater won't pick it up.

https://github.com/FlyingDiver/Indigo-M ... tag/v7.1.2

This version should handle doors without sensors properly. All other recent bug fixes have also been included.

Still on the to-do list is handling IO devices as sensors.
