I’ve had the open garage setup through mqtt and has been working for the past 3 or 4 years.
Suddenly this month I am unable to open/close the garage doors. All the sensors seem to still read correctly (the distance readings coming into HA are all still correct). If I open with my car remote or the wall button inside the garage, the status is accurate and updated within HA. But for some reason the switch or the cover that I’ve been using in HA do not operate the doors at all.
Not sure if anything has changed recently (past month?) between open garage, home assistant, or mqtt? Or maybe changes were announced long before and something got deprecated this month?
this is how mine is configured:
mqtt:
cover:
- name: "gdock"
state_topic: "gdock/OUT/STATE"
command_topic: "gdock/IN/STATE"
retain: false
payload_open: "click"
payload_close: "click"
payload_stop: "click"
state_open: "OPEN"
state_closed: "CLOSED"
device_class: "garage"
Also, I saw a response from a different topic somewhere that there is an integration in HA now. Can anyone recommend one or the other? The MQTT setup has been flawless for me these few years up until now (which does not appear to be an MQTT issue).
edit: actually, when I login to the web interface and try to operate the door from there, it does not work. so maybe this has to do more with the hardware? seems strange that both (I have one for each of 2 garage doors) have crapped out at the same time …
If it doesnt work through the GUI, there is either something wrong with the Opengarage, the wiring, or the door.
Put a multimeter into the opengarage terminal, with it set to resistance, trigger the opengarage to open the door, and make sure you see the ohm measure go to near zero.
Check the wiring, and make sure all the terminals are tight.
