Hi there! My MyQ Lite stopped working yesterday to control my garage door. I tried to update from repo and the app and I was able to update my SmartApp, but the device handlers keep giving me a Error 500 internal server error.
So somethings are updated and some are not. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks
You will need to be patient at this point. MyQ updated their API a few days ago which broke things. The developer is working on a fix. More details in the following thread.
As for your code, the top two are the same item. Probably best to wait for a new version in a few days and you can repair at that ime.
If anyone is interested I found a temporary solution for controlling MyQ via Alexa until the integration is repaired. I am piggybacking off the MyQ lite device already created in ST and did not change any of my automations I already had set up. It’s not elegant but it works.
Download the Simple Commands app (SC)
Create a SC account and verify email
Log in and select add item
Connect MyQ and enter your credentials
Create 2 routines - 1 for open and 1 for close (don’t adjust any routine settings besides selecting open/close)
From the top left menu, select Routines
Select Add routine at the bottom
Name routine, select create routine
Select Garage, hit add, select open/close
Repeat steps 1-4 for opposite command
Go back to the top left menus, select all items
Select add/remove items
Find MyQ and select manage
Select sync Go back to the top left menus, select all items Select your garage Select Enable Voice Companion Toggle each scene to On Create phrase and Save
In Alexa app
Enable the Kloee for SC skill (not the Simple Commands skill)
Enable skill and discover devices. It should discover the 2 scenes you created above
In ST create a Simulated Alexa Switch (named mine Temp MyQ)
Create 2 automations
If MyQ Device door is open Then open Temp MyQ
If MyQ Device door is closed Then close Temp MyQ
(These 2 automations link my existing automations)
In Alexa, create 2 routines
When Temp MyQ opens Then (slecet SC open scene)
When Temp MyQ closes Then (slecet SC close scene)
Hope this helps
Edited to include missing step in bold. So sorry!
I realized I left an important step out. I Edited the instruction in bold to include enabling Voice assistant. I just redid my set up and it worked. Let me know.
Sure. Once you’ve completed all the steps above (make sure you did the bold steps)
In Alexa app
Create a routine When This Happens
Select your simulated Alexa Switch or whatever trigger you want to open the garage Add Action
Tap the +
Select Smart Home
Select Control scene
Find the scene you made in the Simple Commands app (I named mine open garage & close garage)
Select the scene
Tap Add
