I currently have the Evolve Z-Wave Relay with a multi sensor on my garage door. Currently, they are both separated, is their a device type or smart app I can use to combine them (as it was prior to V2)?
I’ve eliminated some redundancy with my MyQ garage.
First, I don’t need it to automatically - at a set time, or set circumstances - open or close. So some integration with ST that others might consider necessary, I do not.
Next is that Alexa can open/close the door via voice command. Perfect.
Third is that my SmartTiles Android control tablet tells me the garage status. Here’s where the redundancy happens…
The MyQ app reports door status. Says whether it’s open or closed, or in the process of opening or closing.
Via Tasker and the AutoNotification plugin plus Sharptools, the notification of that status can be transmitted back to Smartthings. So while I don’t need to trigger the garage based on conditions, the garage status certainly drives some other ST activities such as turning lights on/off. By having the status be transmitted to ST via that notification process, it eliminates the need for me to have a tilt sensor on the door… and I can reassign the ST multisensor doing that job elsewhere in the house.
Sure Kostas. What device type handler are you using? That will let me know if you need to change anything in the code, or if it’s a simple thing to do in the mobile app.
