Door Control Capability Command

Developer Programs Writing SmartApps

I’m trying to leverage door control capability in my new device type. according to the [documentation][1], there’s the predefined open() and close() method.

IDE emulation works fine, but when I try to run it on my iPhone, it gives “Error: Connection Failed”. Here’s my code:

    metadata {
	definition (name: "Test Door 1", namespace: "copy-ninja", author: "Jason Mok") {
		capability "Door Control"    
	}

	simulator { }

	tiles {
		standardTile("door", "device.door", width: 2, height: 2, canChangeIcon: false) {
			state("closed", label: "closed",  action: "doorControl.open",  icon: "st.doors.garage.garage-closed",  backgroundColor: "#ffffff")
			state("open", label: "open",    action: "doorControl.close", icon: "st.doors.garage.garage-open",    backgroundColor: "#57BF17")			
		}

		main "door"
		details(["door"])
	}
}
def parse(String description) {}

def open()  { 
	log.info "open clicked.." 
    sendEvent(name: "door", value: "open", display: true, descriptionText: device.displayName + " was open")
}
def close() { 
	log.info "closed clicked.." 
	sendEvent(name: "door", value: "closed", display: true, descriptionText: device.displayName + " was closed")
}

Any ideas?

Hey, the connection failed may not be a related issue as I get that pretty often… As it was explained to me it is when somehow your connectivity to ST servers is interrupted for some reason (???). It’s not related to your code.

the problem is if I define custom command, it’ll work. This code works:

metadata {
	definition (name: "Test Door 2", namespace: "copy-ninja", author: "Jason Mok") {
		capability "Door Control"    
	    
        command "open"
        command "close"
	}

	simulator { }

	tiles {
		standardTile("door", "device.door", width: 2, height: 2, canChangeIcon: false) {
			state("closed", label: "closed",  action: "open",  icon: "st.doors.garage.garage-closed",  backgroundColor: "#ffffff")
			state("open",   label: "open",    action: "close", icon: "st.doors.garage.garage-open",    backgroundColor: "#57BF17")
		}

		main "door"
		details(["door"])
	}
}

def parse(String description) {}

def open()  { 
	log.info "open clicked.." 
    sendEvent(name: "door", value: "open", display: true, descriptionText: device.displayName + " was open")
}
def close() { 
	log.info "closed clicked.." 
	sendEvent(name: "door", value: "closed", display: true, descriptionText: device.displayName + " was closed")
}

I’m just scratching my head over the sketchy documentation.

Found the solution. Instead of “doorControl.open”, it needs to be “door control.open”
