FYI: Chamberlain/MyQ is Still Broken about homebridge-liftmaster2 HOT 20 CLOSED

Shorten your longPoll and shortPoll settings. Add newAccessory.context.log(thisDoorState); to
https://github.com/luisiam/homebridge-liftmaster2/blob/master/index.js#L368

Restart homebridge. Open and close the garage door and check the log

from homebridge-liftmaster2.

I put this in the exact place as instructed; however Homebridge just crashes now:

[10/23/2016, 7:59:54 PM] Homebridge is running on port 51826.

[10/23/2016, 7:59:55 PM] [MyQ] Missing MyQ Device ID

Thanks, but I'm beginning to think this is just beyond my ability/patience. I've been screwing with this for the better part of this weekend and I'm basically nowhere (and I work in IT).

from homebridge-liftmaster2.

My bad. Please put self.log(thisDoorState); instead of newAccessory.context.log(thisDoorState);

If you decided to give up, it's your choice. But if you are willing to stick with me, I believe we can make it working. It's been working for a lot of people already, including my self. The problem is that there's never an official API for MyQ and we really need the community's help to make it working for everyone.

from homebridge-liftmaster2.

Thanks, but that made no changes.

I can open the door; however it shows closed and telling it to close does nothing.

Basically, I have to tell it to open to open and open to close it.

Asking status always returns closed whether closed or open.

Home also shows the same; however this time it clearly showed 'Opening' while opening (but the state immediately changes to closed).

from homebridge-liftmaster2.

My fault, didn't mean to close.

from homebridge-liftmaster2.

I know it's not fixing anything yet. I just need the log to see what's the state reported by the server.

from homebridge-liftmaster2.

I think the state's 2:

[10/23/2016, 8:21:36 PM] 2

Which I assume is closed?

from homebridge-liftmaster2.

Can you please add self.log(device); on
https://github.com/luisiam/homebridge-liftmaster2/blob/master/index.js#L313

and post your log afterwards?

I actually need the log prior to that as well. It should starts with something like
[10/23/2016, 5:46:09 PM] { MyQDeviceId: xxxxxxx,

from homebridge-liftmaster2.

Any way to take this offline?

There's quite a bit of info I'm uncomfortable posting in-the-blind (email, SN, device ID).

from homebridge-liftmaster2.

You can always email me at [email protected]

from homebridge-liftmaster2.

You can also remove those sensitive information. I just want to know the whole structure of the object.

This shows that door was CLOSED, I set to OPEN (state changed), but then to close it again its state is OPEN again.

The entire time it was OPEN, Home reported as CLOSED.

from homebridge-liftmaster2.

I believe something went wrong with the state reporting and conversion. HomeKit always reports the state as closed. Therefore, you can never close the garage door since HomeKit thinks that it's always closed.

Can you install with the following command:
npm install -g git+https://github.com/luisiam/homebridge-liftmaster2.git#419e22ba9121d28ae8b095e843b18546541798bf

Restart homebridge afterwards. Have the garage door closed, open the garage door. Post the log afterwards. Thanks.

Did you use sudo for all the npm install? If you have been using sudo, you need to add sudo at the beginning as well

from homebridge-liftmaster2.

I did and this didn't change anything (same as before: always shows state of CLOSED and have to tell it to OPEN to open and OPEN to close).

Thanks for your time, but I officially give up. Nothing is worth this this many wasted hours (especially this).

I appreciate all the devs work on projects like this, but I work IT (and have for 25y) and couldn't get this working after wasting over 20h on it. I honestly cannot imagine someone non-IT literate ever getting something like this working (and that's a problem, because nothing should be this hard/impossible to deploy).

Again, ultimate fault/blame lies with both Apple (for their lack of Homekit 'seriousness') and Chamberlain (for their non-existent Homekit implementation).

from homebridge-liftmaster2.

Well, I am still pinpointing the problem. I still need to log for troubleshooting. Anyways, it's your choice.
