[OBSOLETE] MyQ Lite Door and Lamp Control (for Liftmaster/Chamberlain)

I’m using:
brbeaird/SmartThings_MyQ (master) with DH’s:
brbeaird: MyQ Garage Door Opener; brbeaird: MyQ Garage Door Opener-NoSensor; brbeaird :MyQ Light Controller

I’ve recently implemented ActionTiles, and I can’t seem to create OPEN/CLOSE action tiles. The moderator of the ActionTiles forum replied to my request for help with the following:

ActionTiles presents open/close as state and controls when a device claiming Capability “Garage Door Control” is used. https://smartthings.developer.samsung.com/develop/api-ref/capabilities.html#Garage-Door-Control

I recommend that you find (or modify) a Device Type Handler for your MyQ that correctly claims and implements this Capability. The Tile is a toggle, but it has a confirmation dialog.

Does the DH I have not have this capability? Is there a different DH I should be using?

When you install the MyQ SmartApp you have the option of automatically creating the Opener / Closer switches which get added as devices in Things.

For ActionTiles if you add the Garage Door (MyQ device), you will be required to confirm whether you want to open or close. That’s an ActionTiles feature based on capability of the device, period:

Now if you want to add the Open / Close devices to ActionTiles (as Switch or Momentary), you can press either Tile and it will perform Open or Close without a confirmation message appearing.

Do you have a contact sensor on the door? If not, you’re using the NoSensor DH, which does not have true Garage Door Control capability because SmartThings does not know its current state.

The sensor version of the door (MyQ Garage Door Opener) does have that capability as @WB70 showed.

I do have the ST MultiSensors om my garage doors. Thanks!

I would delete the No Sensor version of the Device Handler from your IDE. If you are using the sensor version, that DH does not need to exist :slight_smile:

Brian, thanks for the great app! I installed first time with no issues. I’m ordering a tilt sensor now.

Just sent you a donation via Paypal.

Just reinstalled MyQ SmartApp after a long hyatus. Battery had dies on door sensor. I am no longer able to see doors. I get the dreaded “Could not find any supported devices”…Using the latest code.

See logs from the SmartApp IDE page

Resolved…Updated from github repo and published. The logs were showing that I had an earlier version installed so I surmised that a git pull might fix it.

I have read through most posts, but haven’t seen a list of compatible tilt sensors to incorporate with the Liftmaster MyQ unit I recently had installed. What is the best value unit that will work with this setup?

I just purchased my smartthings hub and have yet to set it up. But I definitely want to get the MyQ opener incorporated into the unit.

1191

This SmartApp will be able to use any tilt sensor that is compatible with SmartThings. I personally use the EcoLink tilt sensor.

1192

I went with the Monoprice tilt sensor. They pair up and seem to have great range. working perfectly so far.

So, to confirm… My current Liftmaster opener with MyQ should be able to integrate with Smartthings hub once I install the smart app and pick up a lift set sensor?

1194

yes, I have the built in myQ as well and it works a peach! @gfbuyer same one I purchaased and working flawlessly.

Hi, what if I have a sliding gate? , while im still waiting the hub in order to install it i just know if the included sensor can be used because i wouldn’t need the accelerometer or the lift function. Thanks

1196

No, SmartThings (and this SmartApp) cannot get information from the included MyQ sensors.

1197

Ok. Thanks, i spent some time reading this thread. So what i understood is that i can still use a garage-enabled ST multipurpose sensor for this smart app right? Thanks for your response!

As long as it works with SmartThings as a contact sensor, it will work with this app to know if it’s opened or closed.

1199

Ok Thanks!

On my sliding gate operator Liftmaster CSL24U there is a relay that activates when the door is all the way closed. I hooked up a zwave sensor to this relay which allows it to be used with the MyQ Light app. It works really well. However not all Liftmaster operators have this relay, I believe it is on an expansion board.

Thanks,
