This is the Error I get when turning that option on after installing the application
Thanks!
I did do that, but not sure how to get the buttons to work within a dashboard.
I have the following created:
(light does not seem to work)
If I add the Opener and closer, how would I go about adding them as buttons? Switch didnt seem to work
I know there use to be several versions of this app a while back - are you sure you have the right one? I use the one that is now in HPM.

You can set them up as buttons in the dashboard. It is one of the options.
I did installed it through the Hubitat Package Manager application.
MyQ Lite (v3.1.3)
That’s the same version I have. Not sure what is the “Momentary Button Tile device handler”... Have you searched for that?
There might be a driver that is required for it to work...
Update: Yup, you need to have the driver installed. Not sure why it didn’t install via HPM... Here’s the direct link to the groovy code:

I just want to reiterate what @Sebastien wrote a few posts back - the MyQ integration works best when there is a contact or tilt sensor on the door that is paired directly to Hubitat. In the absence of that:
- The Dashboard garage door template can't be used to control the door (buttons have to be used instead); and
- The physical state of the door can potentially become out of sync with the state in Hubitat.

Okay. Re-installed. PLenty more options.
I cannot, however, remember how to get the MyQ device ID
my bad. A huge mix of installs.

Still, unable to figure out how to add the open/close "momentary buttons" to a dashboard
I finally figured out. Make sure to delete all your existing myQLite related apps, drivers and app code.
Then follow the installation instruction in the original GitHub page , DON'T Use Hubitat Package Manager to install this MyQLite Application, somehow it doesn't install everything properly.
Thanks a lot for your help @Sebastien, really appreciate it.
Loos like this application doesn't tell you the current status of the Garage, it just give us two button to open or close.
I agree. An open/closed status would be nice.
But how do I put the button on the dashboard??
You need a Hubitat-paired contact or tilt sensor that monitors the door position for that.

If you don’t have a sensor, you can also setup a virtual switch/sensor combo and link it to MyQ Garage via IFTTT. Then you can link that device to the MyQ Lite app in Hubitat to know the door status. I have this setup for my father and it works well for him.
If you want a sensor, the Samsung Multi-Sensor works okay, but in my experience it sometimes stays stuck. I recently got the Z-wave Plus Gold Plated Reliability Garage Door Tilt Sensor, White (TILT-ZWAVE2.5-ECO) from Amazon and it works great.

Really? Should not have happened unless your door experience a large amount of vibration. MEMS accelerometer can experience what they call “stiction” due to a large vibration but my gut feeling is you just had a bad sensor.
I switched my ST sensor from tilt to contact but still have the accelerometer enabled for activity status and I have never experienced it getting stuck.

Thanks again @Sebastien for the link. Is there any other cheaper and reliable door sensor? I don't know if I want to spend $30 for one sensor.
You can use any contact sensor; it doesn't have to be a tilt sensor. I use an old z-wave GoControl contact sensor to monitor if the door is raised or closed.

the tilt sensor mentioned above is $53 CDN...
In other news...does anyone know how to put the open/close buttons on a dahsboard?
