[RELEASE] GoGoGate Garage Controller Driver

⚙️ Custom Apps and Drivers
44

Ok, I think I got it fixed. Everything is working for me now and it has a lot more error checking added.

I've updated both the parent and the child drivers, so please update both.

And if you didn't notice, there is a transition time setting under each child door device that it creates. This is the time which governs how long it will wait at "opening" or "closing" before updating the result. This prevents it from going closed->opening->closed->open since the GoGoGate doesn't change it's state until the door stops moving. I set that to 45 seconds by default in the driver but I have mine turned down to 15 seconds without any problems.

Please let me know if you have any issues. I won't really be available for the next 24-48 hours but I will check in when I am able.

Thanks,
Matt

It seems like your last update hit the spot. The tests I’ve done so far have been 100% accurate and no errors in the logs.
I needed 30 sec for “Door Transition Interval”. I tried 20 at first but got the toggling you mention.

I will keep testing and let you know how it goes. Thank you for all you work with this driver!

Glad it’s working! Please let me know if you run into any other trouble. And thank you for your help on it!

Not a problem but I see a lot of sections with multiple "light has change" rows in the log.

Looking in the log its always 6 rows and then

Hi ktd,
I'm not seeing the same behavior on my end. If you check the event list for the controller do you see any events where the light is set to "unknown"? (What's strange is I would expect it to log those, too, between the unknown to off messages.)

Basically, the only two ways it gets set to unknown are when the plugin is initialized and when a query to http://-deviceIP-/isg/light.php?op=refresh returns something unexpected. Since none of the URLs are documented by the manufacturer its possible you are getting a response that I've never seen before.

Let me know what you see in the events to see if you see it being set to unknown. If you like I can add some logging to capture the result of the url, as well.

@mgroeninger I replaced my roter today and are setting up a new network.
After updateing the IP to the new GoGoGate2 IP and pressing "Recreate Child Devices", nothing happend.
I unsistalled the parent device, rebooted my Hubitat and reinstalled the virtual parent driver but I still cant get my two doors to be added. I only have the parent driver. Any clues?

UPDATE Just got one of my two doors to be recreated all of a sudden???

You’ve definitely hit on something I haven’t seen. If you set the logging to trace and ty it again, do the logs show anything?

When I hit Recreate Child today, both gates where recreated? Really strange.

53

I’m glad they recreated finally. It looks like I need to add some trace logging to the recreation code, since it didn’t actually log anything though. Please let me know if you have any other issues!

Hi @bob.mergner

As you know I made some very minor changes to your gogogate driver here: hubitat/iSmartGateGarageControllerDriver.groovy at master · scrytch/hubitat · GitHub

With no changes to the code for a while, recently Hubitat is failing with this error:

2020-09-10 04:13:31.810 pm errorjava.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: -1 on line 131 (doorPollStatus)

Any ideas on how to fix? I'm assuming it happens with your original driver as well?

55

Couple edits for you that seemed to work.... Looks like they dropped the Colon delimiter and also looks like they changed open to 2.

  httpGet(params) { resp ->
	 	doorStatus = resp.data.toString().substring(1)
	   	doorStatus = doorStatus.substring(1, doorStatus.length() - 2)
	   	int whichdoor = Integer.parseInt(door,16) - 1
	   	status = doorStatus.split(",")[whichdoor].replaceAll("\"", "")
	   	//status = status.split(":")[1]
	   	doorStatus = status
	   
		if ( status.contains("0") && !currentState.contains("0") ) {
		   	sendEvent(name: "door", value: "closed")
			currentState = "0"
	   	}
	   	else if ( status.contains("2") && !currentState.contains("2") ) 
	   	{
		   	sendEvent(name: "door", value: "open")
			currentState = "2"
	   	}
   	}
56

@mgroeninger could you please start a separate thread for your GoGoGate Controller? It is far superior from the one that started this thread and would really assist anyone in getting their setup working. I really appreciate you building this, but I struggled with the other code until I figured out yours worked better.

Thank you again.

57

Glad it worked for you and sorry for the confusion! I've refrained from creating a separate thread just so that I don't create more clutter on the boards. It might be time to create a new one, though.

Hope things are going well for you!
Matt

I have recently bought a ismartGate garage door controller and tried to use this driver for hubitat integration. But I get the below error while initialising. Do anyone know how to fix this or is there an updated driver available for this?

2021-12-16 08:00:40.356 pm errorjava.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: -1 on line 125 (method initialize)
