My older Chamberlain garage door opener has been operating successfully for several years employing a Chamberlain MyQ hub. Recently, the garage door will not open via the hub. Neither HA nor Alexa will open the door BUT it will close it. Periodically, it will open the door and when this happens I often think it is due to a change I have made in the MyQ setup. Recently I allowed the MyQ app location and storage permissions and following that the door would open. After troubleshooting that, I found that it appeared to be only coincidental. It is as though there is some random security setting which allows closing but not opening. The rolling code rf system generates the same coded signal for opening and closing. The action depends on the opener itself, whether it is opened or closed or what the previous action was. I had a thought just now that perhaps the opener did not register that it was closed but despite recalibrating the up/dn range adjustment the problem remains.
Any ideas before I use my ESP01/relay module to take over from MyQ?
I don’t have an answer for the issue you’re having. I’d recommend checking out ratgdo to localize MyQ. I just installed this on my Liftmaster and it works very well.
That is interesting but control.with Security 2 can still be accomplished by wiring dry contact across the wired control button.
Interestingly enough, the opening function is working today. Well, it has worked twice so far.
I am currently acquiring ESP8266 hardware to replace the MyQ system as well as implementing a tilt switch to detect door open/close. For now, I will retain the MyQ app for my new opener on the second door which has integrated MyQ capability and works as advertised.
Update: The MyQ hub is now working (fingers crossed) but even more interesting, coincident with the renewed operation, the open/close notifications that seemed, now that I think about it, to appear at the same time as the malfunction, have disappeared. No settings were changed and the notification settings within the MyQ app are still enabled.
