Error - Using Alexa with MyQ Garage/Gate Opener

,
1

Hi… let me start by stating that I am not technical. I really want to use Alexa with my Gate Opener. I think I am very close, but cannot get past this error. I have read through lots of blogs and googled it to death with no luck. Please help… thanks!

I have followed instructions from this site:
https://www.wemustbegeeks.com/use-alexa-echo-chamberlain-myq-openhab-ifttt/

I am using OH1.8 on my Mac.
When I log into openHAB, it shows Offline at the top.
I am sure that my UUID and Secret are entered correctly.

When I try to start the service, I get the following:
./start.sh

I think you are good to go with the binding. It’s saying your garage door is open. It also appears it’s pulling the serial number as well. When you did this capture, was your garage door in fact open?

3

Thank you. Do you know why OpenHAB shows that I am offline? I am not able to see my events… How do I get it to show Online?

4

This means that your local instance doesn’t have the openhabcloud binding working correctly enabling the cloud portion to interact with you local server. I would look more closely at the openhabcloud settings and make sure those are correct.

5

Where do I find openhabcloud settings and what do I check for?

6

Steps 6 and 7 of the guide. Make sure in the openhab.cfg that that last line listed has the # removed. Make sure in step 7 that you have the correct UUID & Secret from /webapps/static/uuid and /webapps/static/secret entered in at myopenhab.org

7

And the most common error in this case: Which Java version do you use?

You need at least Java 1.8.0-101 (or higher). That’s also documented in the official tutorial:

I found the problem… I did not have the org.openhab.io.openhabcloud_1.9.0.201612192331.jar file in the Addons folder! It is now online and working! Thanks for your help!
