I have 3 different Liftmaster garage door openers, one for each of my 3 doors, that are currently working via the MyQ app. Every userid/password combo I try to use with the MyQ integration for HA doesn’t seem to work, I get the “invalid authentication” error. So I’m confused as to what userid/password is the one to use?
My hardware config is
Right: Liftmaster 87504-267 with MyQ Control Panel - 880LMW
Center: Liftmaster 8550W-0 with MyQ Control Panel - 888LM
Left: Liftmaster “Formula I” with MyQ Control Panel - 888LM
The Formula I is the original opener (had 3 with the house when new, as they failed I replaced them). When I replaced the center opener I bought a kit that upgraded the control panel to allow it to connect to the center opener and therefore be available on MyQ. The right opener is the newest and it too has its own internal server and the install guy set it up seperately. So on the MyQ app, I see all 3 door openers, but the left connects to the center via its control panel and the right on its own. This is all done at the control panel. The kit also included a LiftMaster Internet Gateway 828LM which I have not used as the left opener, via its control panel, integrates to the MyQ server on the center opener.
So I am not aware of an local internet or MyQ login that I should be using and I’m guessing that is what the HA integration is looking for? Would the LiftMaster Internet Gateway 828LM suffice or would something like the myQ Chamberlain Smart Garage Control - Wireless Garage Hub and Sensor with Wifi & Bluetooth - Smartphone Controlled, myQ-G0401-ES be the right thing? I don’t want to have to buy anything else if I can avoid it, so if there is a way to use a login I’m all for it, but adding one more hub to make this all work via HA is good too!
