Currently have a chamberlain garage door opener and was using the myq add on to control it through openhab but they keep changing the api which renders the add on useless.
Openhab garage door opener.
I regularly do that remotely e g.
There is already a binding available for openhab 1 works on 2 so you can know your home made device will work with openhab.
My first appliance is a garage door that is not only monitored contact but can also be controlled.
The controlling is done in one topic.
If you have multiple garage door openers and or lights the device index is based on the order the garage door opener light s were added to the myq app.
This tutorial assumes you have the gpio binding installed and have already gotten that working for other items.
A switch to open close the door.
I tapped into the buttons on the wall and ran a pair of wires to the relayboard and connected them to common and normally open.
I can then use this from other rules with garagedoorcommand sendcommand open to open the door.
I am using a raspberry pi3b gpio pins to control a relay board which simulates someone pressing the garage door opener on the wall.
Or you can pre order a pre built one.
My config settings.
When i am leaving the highway or after i have already driven out of reach of common rf solutions it is connected via mqtt.
Hi i am just making my first steps with openhab moving over from a self written interface.

I added a string item for the actual command to open or close the door.
For people with only one garage door opener the value needs to be set to 0.
2 switches for feedback for open and closed messages.
Hooray for open source.
Looking for ideas what and how to use to add.
