New smart app to link the virtual/simulated garage door device with two actual devices

mark_cockcroft · September 7, 2019, 4:29pm

Found problem it’s not going down 111 and 123 lines for some reason there not equaling true

mark_cockcroft · September 7, 2019, 4:51pm

Update 111 to
if(sensoropen == “${evt.device}”){
And 122 to
if(evt.device == “$sensor”){

See which line works. You should see a debug line saying fully open/close

mark_cockcroft · September 7, 2019, 5:09pm

Try these lines

Stills00 · September 7, 2019, 6:15pm

I get the below red error message when trying to update line 111

org.codehaus.groovy.control.MultipleCompilationErrorsException: startup failed:
script_app_metadata_f052f9f3_6438_43ce_9fb8_d2d0d2d29af7: 111: expecting ‘)’, found ‘”’ @ line 111, column 37.
if(sensoropen == “${evt.device}”){

Type the speechmarks copy and paste doesn’t work. Make sure you get the dollars as well

Stills00 · September 7, 2019, 6:33pm

Ok i typed it but am still getting the same issue. Will post the logs in a few

mark_cockcroft · September 7, 2019, 7:05pm

It’s still not doing the if properly try
Ln108
def condev = evt.device

Then
Update 111 to
if(sensoropen == condev){
And 122 to
if(sensor == condev){

d6c02cf3-8757-4c82-8aff-0f52db7e33d5 12:24:54 PM: trace contactHandler - ‘ZZ Gate sensor Closed contact’ is ‘closed’ - virtual contact is 'open’and door is ‘closing’

What is going on with The above? contact is closed but the virtual contact is open and the door is closing?

So its sensing that the door is closed and showing as much but it is saying the virtual contact is still open? maybe this is the issue? after this line it just stops and waits till the checkif.

Stills00 · September 7, 2019, 8:12pm

does thesre need to be a step to update vitual device from physical device once status changes?

mark_cockcroft · September 7, 2019, 9:31pm

You are also clicking publish once you have updated the code?

Stills00 · September 8, 2019, 2:18pm

Thanks Mark I really appreciate the help! I’ll add this in and then report back. Hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Thanks,

MARK!!! YOU DID IT! It looks like it worked.

Yes ill have to do that when i get home tonight

Stills00 · September 9, 2019, 5:36pm

Seriously i have been just sitting at work opening and closing the gate watching it on my Nest cameras and smiling every time it opens and tells me its open and then closing it and doing an evil laugh every time!

Seriously this is awesome… Thank you for all of your hard work on this I know it wasn’t easy!

BTW this is the gate you automated below. It is strictly to keep my 2 year old boy in the front yard so my wife and I don’t have to chase him around the neighborhood.

Stills00 · September 10, 2019, 7:58pm

Yes the warning text works when it doesn’t open or close all the way! This is awesome thank you sir!

Stills00 · September 10, 2019, 8:23pm

Nice!!

There seriously isn’t anything for gates out there I looked and looked for days and no one had anything so this is huge for my wife and I. Now to set it up for location routines to open when I get home and close if I push the house panic buttons.

Thank you!

Relased, this should be final version, two DH’s one for a gate and one for a garage door and APP capable of using one or two open/close switches and one or two open close sesnors.

@Lgkahn: Hi Larry, wanted to let you know that I implemented the app successfully and thank you for posting it. In my setup I use the MIMO as a switch and the Ecoklink tilt sensor.

To get Alexa compatibility I creased custom voice commands since saying “Alexa turn on garage door” got old fast. Also, made some minor changes to the code so that I did not get too many push notifications, pretty much commented out the lines that send you a push message when I open the door manually.

Thanks again,
Sandro
