Google assistant and smart things garage door

[jhalar]

How do you add the garage door in Google assistant? I have the approved smart things garage door z wave device but don’t see it.

I used this handler instead. Adds a switch to it so can connect to google home. Then made an ifttt trigger that opens garage when I say open garage door. I use ifttt because with the switch it only open or closes when you tell it to turn it on (open) or turn it off (close)

[OBSOLETE] Enhanced Z-wave garage door opener code (for Linear GD00Z and variants)

I’ve modified the ST default “Z-Wave Garage Door Opener” to better work with the “doors & locks” module. As far as I know, this would only be useful for the linear GD00Z device (and variants including the Iris opener.) This will allow you to select your garage door device as both the “open/close sensor” and the “garage door opener relay.” At that point, from within the “doors & locks” module, you can use “open and close it remotely” (and perhaps the other sub-modules that open/close the door.) All this does is to add the “relay switch” and “momentary” capabilities to the type, stubs on()/off(), and defines push() to either open or close the door (depending on it’s current state.) It’s not a perfect implementation, as the “doors & locks” module might show the door as being “stopped” wh…

I hope this helps

I’m having the same problem. It seems that the list the devices was cut off. Only the light switches are display and the Garage Door may be under the 3 dots … which is not shown. Is there any way to show ALL the devices?

It won’t show doors in the list since technically opening and closing your door through GH is a security issue if you have GH close to your window. You would need a DH that has a switch function or a virtual switch and CoRE. I use @RBoy DH for my Linear Garage door opener and it appears as a switch and I control that through GH.

Gotcha! Thanks!

just making sure… so its $25.00 to download your app? will it work with iris linear garage door opener gd-00z-1
(picked it up at lowes for $50)

[Squidward (Jordon)]

The first link I posted is a free handler and has been working great for me from day one.

[RBoy (www.rboyapps.com - Making SmartThings Easy!)]

Yes it does

And you get access to all the other apps and device handlers as well. There are some specifically designed to handle garage door people arriving / leaving plus others. Check out the website for all the apps, http://www.rboyapps.com

thanks… It worked great!! i did not realize yours and rboys where different…

[mejori (rich)]

I would have gladly paid $5 for one app or DH. I really did not have use for any of the others so it really wasnt worth it for me. but great work form both of you!

Thanks for sharing! I have a Chamberlain door which doesn’t support opening and closing through Google assistant. Will your app allow me to say “ok google open garage?”

FYI, I was able to use the following custom Device Handler for my GD00Z-4 Garage Door Controller to treat it as a switch (on and off instead of open and close) to set up a Custom Routine in Google Assistant to open the Garage Door and Another Custom Routine to close the Garage Door by voice.

To elaborate, I believe the native Device Handler for the GD00Z-4 uses an open/close command which Google locks us out from using voice commands to open and close the door by voice for security purposes. This basically is a workaround by converting it to an on/off switch.

Try my device handler. The one your using isn’t supporting “On” and “Off” If installed correctly it should show up as “RG Linear GD00Z Garage Door Opener - V2” One Note on this version it has a preference for “Enable Switch Capability” but I have not implemented the preference yet. So it’s hard coded to support switch as On=Open and Off=Close. If you don’t like that you can either change the code (just look for the On and Off Methods and change them to call open and close as you wish. Or you can bug me to implement the preference
