Use Homelink as a Trigger

Hi,
Has anyone integrated the homelink buttons in their vehicles to control devices from HA? I was just looking at the Wayne-Dalton WDHA-12R which looks like it is a Homelink to Z-Wave Gateway. http://a.co/fzifRkt

Has anyone used this with HASSIO?

Did you get the Wayne dalton unit?

I have not gotten it yet. I was hoping someone else has tried it to let me know how well it works.

@tmjpugh I just received the Wayne dalton unit. It shows up in my node list but I am not seeing anything in the logs when i press a scene button.

Here is what is now in my zwcfg.xxx.xml file. I am not sure if it might need anything else like the homeseer switches.

<Node id="5" name="Homelink Gateway" location="" basic="1" generic="1" specific="0" type="Remote Controller" listening="false" frequentListening="false" beaming="false" routing="false" max_baud_rate="9600" version="3" query_stage="Probe">
		<Manufacturer id="0" name="">
			<Product type="0" id="0" name="" />
		</Manufacturer>
		<CommandClasses>
			<CommandClass id="32" name="COMMAND_CLASS_BASIC" version="1" after_mark="true">
				<Instance index="1" />
				<Value type="byte" genre="basic" instance="1" index="0" label="Basic" units="" read_only="false" write_only="false" verify_changes="false" poll_intensity="0" min="0" max="255" value="0" />
			</CommandClass>
			<CommandClass id="132" name="COMMAND_CLASS_WAKE_UP" version="1" request_flags="2">
				<Instance index="1" />
			</CommandClass>
		</CommandClasses>
	</Node>

I also checked the States page and saw that the state of the gateway is initializing. Im guessing that has something to do with it.

It looks like there isn’t a config in open-zwave for this device. You’ll need to find some docs about the the supported command classes.

Seems like it needs to be added as a second controller or something?

Super curious if you get this to work.

Yeah thats what I saw. The second controller is where i think the problem is. I am not a programmer but If someone wants to work on this i am willing to test.

Bump for this, I would LOVE to be able to use these buttons for something. I don’t have a garage and would love to be able to toggle my outdoor lights or something with these without having to hack a microcontroller into it.

@forte Do you have the Wayne Dalton or still trying to come up with what to use? I have actually came up with a different solution.

what did you use?

I have used the liftmaster 850LM Universal Gate and Garage door receiver http://a.co/1n1JnAn along with a sonoff utilizing the 3 GPIO’s as receive inputs from the 3 relays on the 850LM. I also had to use the LiftMaster 855lm http://a.co/8eMzNfH Homelink repeater kit due to my Vehicles being older and not supporting the security+ 2.0 that the 850lm works on.

I can work on the writing up how to make the Liftmaster 850lm work with the Sonoff utilizing the Tasmota Firmware.

Zombie thread but @pmarq2008, did you ever do a write up? I would like to use home link to control stuff, seems more fool proof, and intentional than geofencing and enter triggers. Maybe a z uno shield would work too instead of sonoff, but expensive.
