Myq componenet issues

Configuration
82

I think that got me part of the way there. the myq component is loading now, and it seems to be able to see the status. However, although HASS thinks it’s telling the door to open and close, it’s not actually doing that. I suspect that the user agent is maybe not being sent with the state change commands, but i’m not sure.

Would you be willing to put your whole myq.py file somewhere I could see it so I can diff it with mine and see what i’m missing?

I put it up on github:

Using your myq.py as well as the updated app ID that @carlostico posted, I still cannot get this component to work anymore. I’m not getting any errors in the log, but the component doesn’t appear in my states list.

85

@lordsiris Looks like the updated myq.py works for me.

Thanks!

86

Added the change manually to my component and started to work fine… thanks !!!

87

That got it, thanks!

Got it. I went with @lordsiris’s myq.py but had to change MyQDeviceTypeName back to “VGDO” and then hide a random second door that appeared, but did not function.

@lordsiris thanks v much, worked perfectly. Fyi, I did not need to change MyQ Device Type Name back to “VGDO”

Is anyone else running the MyQ retrofit kit?

I’m trying to determine which users need to change their MyQDeviceTypeName to “VGDO” or are seeing random second doors. I have the retrofit kit and experienced both issues. I don’t think either issue is occurring for owners of garage doors that came with MyQ features standard.

I’m running the retrofit kit and have to use the VGDO setting

93

FYI: I am using the retrofit kit (Liftmaster branded) with 2 garage doors and a). I did not need to change MyQDeviceTypeName to “VGDO” and b). I do not see a random second door…

94

You may not see a random extra door, as the retrofit kit is only capable of controlling two doors and you have both set up.

It’s interesting to see that you don’t have to use VGDO.

@Fresh what brand is your retrofit? I’m using a Chamberlain branded model.

95

Mine is chamerlain too

96

Interesting. That’s two Chamberlain retrofits that both require VGDO.

I know this will never be an official component again because Chamberlain hates us, but it’s still an issue that we may need to code around in the future.

97

I have retrofit. I changed back to use VGDO and now cover.garage_opener does not work but cover.garage_opener_2 does. Still not sure why there are two in the first place.

98

The retrofit unit has the ability to control 2 doors. When you program it, there are 2 buttons that you can assign openers to. If you programmed your opener to button 2, then your HA cover would be garage_opener_2.

I didn’t realize there were 2 types of retrofits, I have a different one (Liftmaster 888LM) which may explain why I did not need to change MyQDeviceTypeName to “VGDO”…?

I didn’t realize that either. It looks like there’s a Liftmaster/Chamberlain retrofit and a universal retrofit.

I was able to remove cover.garage_opener_2 with the following:

    def get_garage_doors(self):
    """List only MyQ garage door devices."""

    devices = self.get_devices()

    garage_doors = []

    for device in devices:
        if device['MyQDeviceTypeName'] == 'VGDO':
            for attribute in device['Attributes']:
                if attribute['AttributeDisplayName'] == 'desc' and \
                        attribute['Value'] == 'Garage Door Opener':
                    garage_doors.append(device['DeviceId'])

The name of my garage door in mychamberlain.com is “Garage Door Opener”

I created a pull request with some updates to allow multiple doors. Also need to look at making the updates per this post: https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/issues/4210#issuecomment-258689432
