Openhab Item Garage Door

Looking for ideas what and how to use to add.

Openhab item garage door.

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. My config settings. Please keep attention to the fact that the door will be shown as open when openhab starts up and the state of the door is uninitialized.

Door sensor installed on garage door reports open close status. Here is my garage door hardware. The icon shown with switch item garage door is appropriate garagedoor closed when contact is closed garagedoor open when contact is open but the functionality of the switch does not work. This tutorial assumes you have the gpio binding installed and have already gotten that working for other items.

Starting openhab in debug mode will display your myq devices and the order they are listed in the api. 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. Rule garage door 1 when item mygaragedoorstate changed then mygaragedoorproxy postupdate mygaragedoorstate state end rule garage door 2 when item mygaragedoorproxy received command then mygaragedoorswitch sendcommand on end. Garadget binding v1 the garadget is cloud based device that futurizes your existing garage door opener letting you open and close your garage door from anywhere including via openhab with this binding.

I am using a raspberry pi3b gpio pins to control a relay board which simulates someone pressing the garage door opener on the wall. No need to wire anything in the garage. Hi i am just making my first steps with openhab moving over from a self written interface. Remote access is made possible with the particle io rest api.

A switch to open close the door 2 switches for feedback for open and closed messages. Relay attached to pi connected to garage wireless remote. I regularly do that remotely e g. Solution with proxy item.

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. When i am leaving the highway or after i have already driven out of reach of common rf solutions it is connected via mqtt.
