MyQ - Acting Up Again!

[rcblackwell (Robert Blackwell)]

I was checking HA logs this morning. While doing so I ran across a significant number of errors on MyQ. I’m running HA 2021.1.1 which, according to upgrade notes, contains a fix for the integration issue identified in Dec 2020. I don’t understand what’s happening and could use your help in correcting the problem.

Regards

MYQ not working again

My MYQ integration was working yesterday I believe. I deleted the integration and now I’m getting an ‘unknown error’ when I try to re-add the integration. API issue again?

MyQ Alternatives

This post is to list alternatives to using the MyQ integration for those using Chamerlain or Liftmaster garage doors. The integration breaks frequently due to changes and issues on the MyQ side. Some history: https://community.home-assistant.io/t/myq-not-working-again List updated 2021-01-17 Here are some alternatives. If you know of any more please post a reply.

@qoheleth

The information is there.

I managed to get the MyQ integration working again. Reinstallation did the trick. Seems the original install lost authentication. I had the same problem with the ecobee integration. Reinstallation and authenticated corrected that so I tried the same process on the MyQ integration - voila, working once again!

However… reading between the lines - it appears the MyQ integration is unstable and I should look at other options.

Thank you for those links. Through them not only did I find some interesting garage door solutions, I also found a nifty sprinkler control by OpenThings.

[qoheleth (Russell Smith)]

Yes. That Open Sprinkler looks interesting. Right now I have a valve that I can turn on and off and automations that turns the valve off after 2 hours unless I have a “lock-on” switch set.
Aside: My wife uses it to water the gardens. In fact one of the reasons she agreed to my tinkering with Home Automation was this capability. The other was making the kitchen lights collectively turn on or off regardless of the switch you use and the same in the bathroom. If you’re having issues with spousal consent, finding a few of these cases can help immensely.

For the past several days, I’ve had an issue where the integration breaks and reports “invalid username/password.” Deleting the MyQ integration and reinstalling it (with the same user name and pwd combo) fixes it, but it breaks again on restart of HA. Anyone else experiencing this?
