Garage Door Icon Openhab

This shows an icon for a garage door as well as the current status in text.

Garage door icon openhab.

The garage opener i bought is called boxer 3000 and it seems similar to almost all other openers on the market. One press starts or stops the opening and it runs until it s fully opened or closed. Since the door icons end in open png and closed png they won t work with a switch unless you make copies of them and rename to end in on png and off png. For people with only one garage door opener the value needs to be set to 0.

In this video i will show you how to connect or setup a chamberlain myq device with openhab 2. Also i changed the item names to reflect which garage door they are foor so i put a 1 at the end of the ones for garage door 1 and a 2 for garage door 2. The funny thing is that i actually added garage door number 2 before number 1 so in my items file i have it backwards if you are looking at the myq number. These are the classic icons from eclipse smarthome.

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. I will be connecting my chamberlain garage door opener to open. It has a actually 2 remote controls with one button that controls the opening. Adjust this to match the ip address of your openhab mqtt server.

Starting openhab in debug mode will display your myq devices and the order they are listed in the api. Grab the garagedoor sketch from github and and modify the code to your taste. These icons can be used when describing items. When the door is opened externally to oh only the reed switch triggers a message to oh and because the actuators and sensors are separate items there is no looping problem.
