Chamberlain MyQ status of connection

[dotat (jason)]

Hi there,

I’m fairly new to OH2 but recently moved my home over from Vera. one of the features I’m trying to add, is a text item in my sitemap that would include the last successful check to MyQ. Not sure what’s going on with my binding, but it is having problems on & off, logging items like this:

$Path=/; $Domain=.myqexternal.myqdevice.com". Illegal domain attribute “.myqexternal.myqdevice.com”. Domain of origin: “myqexternal.myqdevice.com”
2019-01-23 10:11:18.742 [ERROR] [nhab.binding.myq.internal.MyqBinding] - Could not connect to MyQ service

I’m not sure if this is actually service impacting yet, but I was hoping to see when it last successfully checked in with the service. Any ideas if that’s possible?

edit for what it’s worth, I have the 828LM. The OpenHab app on my phone seems to work correctly for opening & closing, but when I use the garage door remotes, the app does not ever update - I’ve left it for over an hour as a test. Perhaps there is something else missing or incorrect. I am controlling 2 doors with the 828LM and both work correctly when only used with the OpenHab App.

Thanks!

Ok, I think I have this figured out. My problem was that the MyQ addon in 2.4 was pulling the addon version 1.13.0something. I found this post

Best way to do MyQ?

Unfortunately, no. There’s a beta version of the openHAB 2 binding. Here’s a post that has the link to the jar file. The jar file goes in your addons directory. This binding is built for 2.3, but I’m running it successfully on 2.5 snapshot. At some point it would be nice if this could be included into the distro. Ping @scooter_seh I saw lots of timeout errors from the MyQ cloud server. After changing the timeout to 25 in the MyQ bridge thing configuration, the number of timeouts w…

which mentioned there was a newer version. I grabbed that JAR file, put it in /usr/share/openhab2/addons restarted my openhab2 service, went to inbox & I added the MyQ gateway (in my case the 828LM) which wanted my log in info for Chamberlain. Once that was in, I inboxed added again & bam, both of my garage doors showed up.

I then added an items file for them with this contents:

Switch GarageDoor1State “Garage 1 State” (Home) [ “Switchable” ] { channel=“chamberlainmyq:MyQDoorOpener:yourthingnum:devicenum:doorstate” }
String GarageDoor1Status “Garage 1 Status [%s]” { channel=“chamberlainmyq:MyQDoorOpener:yourthingnum:devicenum:doorstatus” }
Switch Garage2State “Garage 2 State” (Home) [ “Switchable” ] { channel=“chamberlainmyq:MyQDoorOpener:yourthingnum:devicenum:doorstate” }
String Garage2Status “KsT Garage Status [%s]” { channel=“chamberlainmyq:MyQDoorOpener:yourthingnum:devicenum:doorstatus” }

and finally in my sitemap:

Switch item=Garage1State
Text item=Garage1Status
Switch item=Garage2State
Text item=Garage2Status

It’s all looking good!

The version 1.13 binding did pull things like the serial number and other random facts, but it wasn’t checking in w/ their service properly, even though it could control the door. The new version is working great, door status updates when done manually via an opener now too.

I posted a bundle here in hopes someone else may find this and use the info!
