I'd love to get this going so I don't need to replace an I/O link that went south that has sensors at the top and bottom of the door. Worked for years letting me know when it was open and closed. I would think I could do more with this plugin if I can get it setup right.
I have a Craftsman Door opener. I successfully set it up, it created a device "Garage Door Opener (CGXXXXXXXXX) (myQ Door Opener). It shows the status as locked or unlocked and I can open and close the door from the device panel so I have to assume that I have the door device setup correctly. My problem is getting it trigger anything.
I set up a trigger, "Garage Door Opening" which I had with my old setup. When triggered there is an announcement that, "The garage door is opening", among other things.
My new setup: trigger action, the Type, MyQ Event, the only event that I have available is, "MyQ Door Status Mismatch". I don't know if that's telling me there is some sort of configuration problem. But under Type, Device State Changed, I have: Device, Garage Door Opener/Door Status is Opening/and have experimented with, "Becomes True" and "Has Any Change". If I Hit, "Execute Actions Now" I get the desired response. I can not get the action of the Garage door opening or closing to execute the trigger. I've tried the manual open button in the garage. I've tried using the app on my phone which if that’s the way it works it wouldn't be useful because I only use the app when I'm coming in from running in the morning. And I've tried Opening and closing it via the lock and unlock buttons in the device panel. Nothing fires the trigger.
Another approach I tired was to setup a Garage Door Opening variable, which I tried having the Device State Changed actions change a variable from false to true which if that worked I could execute a chain of events through the variable change. Same result as above.
I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here, there must be another approach to this.
