@brbrian I am almost certain, the issue is my door is too smooth for acceleration sensor to detect at times during moving, as it do not vibrate all the time, during openning. What happen is that it start with Close, then -> Open -> Now it think it is on its way back to close becuase acceleration sensor says no vibration (inactive) that means it opened fully and next vibration should be to close, but in reality it is still openning. (See log show it too). So I think this accelerometer reading from MultiSensor is not reliable in my door (And must be true for others, if your door is too smooth). What is reliable is xyz reading. If there is a way to convert xyz reading to a tilt sensor, that would be great. But do not know how to do that. Or other way is to ignore the acceleration reading, at least it will tell me correctly opened or closed.
Will try removing acceleration sensor, post result tonight.
Update : Removed acceleration sensor from configuration. Now it work as expected. Open and Close when operated manually shows immediately when the contact becomes open and close. But that is ok. Happy with the outcome. XYZ readings to sense the tilt would have been nice without a open close switch. But that is hard to implement I guess.
How do I get Echo to open my garage door? I have everything set up in smartthings smart app, and it all works. And have the items linked to Echo, but when I say âAlexa, open my garage doorâ it does nothing.
What do I need to ask Alexa to open the garage door?
Echo doesnât know âOpenâ and âCloseâ commands. You can tell Alexa to âTurn On Garage Doorâ to open and âTurn Off Garage Doorâ to close though.
My garage door opener is still working without any changes. Also the status is updated in smarthings. Did you change anything yet? Is your smartthings still show the actual status of the garage door?
Tried installing today - get all the way through setup, select the ST sensor on the Garage Door as the contact, do not select any Acceleration Sensor. I get a green banner saying itâs setup and automating, then it hangs for about 20 seconds and I get a red banner saying AN UNEXPECTED ERROR OCCURRED. It wonât move past that?
Can you check the logs and see what error message youâre getting when you try to do the install? If youâve gotten to the last screen, youâve gotten past all the hard parts, so Iâm not sure what would be blowing up at that point.
12:58:23 PM: error physicalgraph.app.exception.UnknownDeviceTypeException: Device type âMyQ Garage Door Openerâ in namespace âbrbeairdâ not found. @ line 185
@brbeaird I am a super noob , but I have installed CoRE smartapp in the past with no issues (Appeared in MyApps). I have added your respiratory and installed both the SmartApp and Device Handler within my account. I made sure to also Publish for me as well. Someone stated to change the catagory, but its locked out and not allowing me to do so. What am I doing wrong here? Anyone?
I feel like I am missing something small here. I deleted and readded both the smartapp and device handler a few times.
Youâre saying itâs not showing up under MyApps in the marketplace on the mobile app? Never heard of that before. If youâve installed everything, it should show up without having to do anything else. Maybe post some screenshots?
@brbeaird Can someone help me out, Iâm very new to smartthings and published to me the smart app and handler (it showed as publishing successfully both rime) but I guess Iâm missing something when I go to mobile app, to marketplace I donât see the my apps section to select and add. Please help me where Iâm going wrong!!!. Thanks
@300mag - looks like you and @walkerj001 are having the same issue, and itâs one Iâve never seen before. It almost sounds like a weird bug on SmartThings in general because Iâm not sure whatâs up. Could you try creating a support ticket asking them why a custom SmartApp is not even showing up as an option to install even though youâve published it for yourself in the IDE? Iâm afraid thereâs not much else I can do to help troubleshoot since youâre not even hitting my code yet at this stage.
Thank you @walkerj001@brbeaird , that fixed my issue. I created support before seeing @walkerj001 response and they basically told me the same thing. Recreated with the correct location link and now I can see my apps on mobile app. Thanks again. Iâm still new at smartthings (came from veralite)but Iâm learning quick!!!
I recently installed the app and got it working great - many thanks!
Shortly after, I received an email from Lift master that said âWE noticed that your smartphone is currently using an older version of the MyQ app that will no longer be supported after 10/31/16âŠâ Apparently there are security enhancements after app version 3.4.
Since my phone is running the latest version (3.6x), I can only guess that the ST app access may have triggered it. Has anyone else seen this? Any concern? Is an updated needed for the ST code?
