Arduino SmartShield Garage Controller

[Todd_Whitehead]

I figured it out.

I had the multiplexer assigned to the Arduino. I had to assign it to the virtual contacts!

Thanks!

Todd,

Glad you managed to get it working and have your virtual devices linked to your arduino. It can be a little confusing trying to keep track of all of the events going back and forth…

Just in case any of my old Arduino Garage Door fellow coders are interested… I have ported my old Garage Door code to use my new ST_Anything library. See the post below for more information.

Announcing the "ST_Anything" Arduino/ThingShield Project

All, As promised, I have rewritten my old Garage Door Arduino Application (now called ST_Anything_Doors) using my new ST_Anythings and SmartThings libraries. ST_Anything_Doors utilizes a DHT22 temperature/humidity sensor instead of the Dallas Semiconductor DS18B20 sensor. I have also added a Motion sensor to keep an eye on the interior of the garage. ST_Anythings_Doors includes a new standard SmartThings Device Capability in the form of a “Door Control” device. I have written a new C++ class called IS_DoorControl for the Arduino to implement the Door Control capability which is typically used for a garage door. This class includes a digital input for a magnetic contact sensor as well as a self-timed relay output for “pressing the button” to open/close the garage door. Please read t…

Hi Todd
I’m having the same issue could you pls explain me how to link the smart app to the virtual contacts I’ll like to use the sensors with the lighting apps and the security dashboard but don’t know how to do it. I just create a virtual contact from Daniel code.
I’d appreciate your help thanks a lot
