Myq componenet issues

Configuration
103

Made the necessary changes (and pull request) to add the update() method to get rid of the errors.

104

@kylerw The changes have been merged (also added the init closed status mentioned in the request comments). Added note about original code from Misterwil as I didn’t really write any of this except for adding the header lines and putting it up on github for others to find easily. If attribution should be added for others that helped create the original code please let me know as I want to give credit deserved.

Awesome!

Does the self._status='closed' work ok? I haven’t dug in but I think it may need to be:

self._status = STATE_CLOSED

106

I definitely had to change mine to:
self._status = STATE_CLOSED

to get the status to show correctly on the dashboard.

My logs are still being quite insistent about this:

homeassistant.helpers.entity: Updating state for cover.garagedooropener_2 took 2.262 seconds. Please report platform to the developers at Platforms that do I/O inside properties · Issue #4210 · home-assistant/core · GitHub

Hmm, I don’t see any more errors after making the updates.

  • You grabbed the whole file which includes the update() method at the very bottom, correct?
  • You restarted?
  • Errors are recent?
108

Yes to all

109

Retracted.

I grabbed this guy:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/arraylabs/myq/master/myq.py

but I’m not seeing an update() in there.

110

interesting, mine works with

self._status = 'closed'
111

the very last few lines look like this.

    def update(self):
        self._status = self.myq.get_status(self.device_id)
112

Yeah, that’s the one.

The ‘closed’ should not stop anything from working just may not initialize the door as closed but will be updated quite quickly. It’s not 100% necessary but more a ‘nice to have’.

113

All the changes have been made to the version on github. All working for me.

114

Just tried to set this up and nothing is showing up in HASS. Moved the myq to the correct path, added the section to configuration.yaml. But nothing shows up, and I dont see myq listed under current entities. Is there soemthing additional I need to be doing that I skipped?

115

Should show in enties as “cover.name_of_device”. I mention it because I was initially looking for something like “myq.name_of_device”.

116

I dont have any entities under cover. I must have done something wrong but Im not sure what.

117

Are there any additional steps you needed to do aside from editing the yaml and adding the myq to the proper location? Perhaps its a permissions issue or something?

And just to make sure Im not doing something dumb…the custom_components folder should be in the same place as configuration.yaml, correct?

I have a Liftmaster 8550W if it makes any difference

118

Are you running HA in a docker container or normally? Also should be “custom_components/cover/myq.py” just to be sure.

119

No, normally.

Right, I have it set up like this…tell me if Im correct:

/homeassitant (where configuration.yaml resides)/custom_components/cover/myq.py

The weird thing is, I dont even see anything like an error in the log that shows it tried to fire it.

Also, I dont think this would be the issue…but I just copied everything over (and created folders) via SAMBA

120

No, should be in the homeassistant folder that also contains the “components” folder. The configuration.yaml is in the “config” folder. On my system (although in docker) the full path is “/usr/src/app/homeassistant/custom_components/cover/myq.py”.

121

I have my custom_components directory in ~hass/.homeassistant/ (where my configuration.yaml is) and it works fine. This makes it easier for me since I’ll automatically get it from my github config repo if I need to set up a new device for hass to run on.

122

I installed with the AIO installer, that directory doesnt appear to exist. Any idea where else it would be?

jhn, did you have to do anything different to get it working in that location?

Here is my entire configuration.yaml in case im screwing something obvious up…
