Myq integration


Hi, I installed the application MYQ lite and it is integrating properly. However it doesn’t get updates if the door is opened manually (button or car home link). I installed a door contact sensor and tried to add it to the Myq lite but I got the attached error.

Please advice the best way to add to a dashboard and reflect the door status regardless of how it is triggered.

Door contact, or tilt? My memory says you need a tilt sensor OR convert the door contact to tilt via an app or rule.

I have the Myq tilt sensor (only talks to Myq hub) and recently I attached a normal contact sensor

That definitely does not work with the MyQ integration. It cannot be seen by Hubitat.

I believe you will need to convert this to a tilt sensor. You could create a virtual acceleration (tilt) sensor, and have a couple basic rules that when contact is open, tilt is set to active, and vise-versa.

You mean that the sensor which Myq lite understands is only tilt sensor ?

Not true. I have Aeotec Door/Window Sensor 7 and it works flawlessly with the MyQ Lite integration and Dashboard tile. I chose a contact sensor because that will show open if someone pries the door up slightly.

I see, what about the feature of adding a sensor to Myq lite app ?

You are walked through the process in the install. The point to understand is that a SEPARATE sensor is needed from the MyQ sensor because Chamberlain/LiftMaster does not and will not expose its sensors to Hubitat.

Agree, now I have a separate sensor, the rule setup I got but what about the Myq lite app and linking the sensor there? and why I get the error ?

That is my question

I don’t know.

First, pair the sensor to your Hubitat hub, verify that it works on your devices page.

Then, I would suggest that you delete the MyQ-Lite app, install it from Hubitat Package Manager, and that will walk you through the process.

I just did the same thing and had the same error. You need to change the garage door type from MyQ-Door opener-NoSensor to the regular door (with sensor) and it works now.

How did you change the garage door type from MyQ-door opener-NoSensor to regular door (with sensor)? thanks

If I recall correctly, you need to re-install the app and choose the sensor option.
