I’m having a few issues with my Chamberlain MyQ App and getting it to sync with my smartthings app.Firstly - I’m currently using the chamberlain app to open and close the door. It seems to be taking a very, very long time to respond if the door is opening, or doing anything. I’m thinking my wifi range may be to blame. Has anybody else had this issue?Secondly - I haven’t found a way to sync it with my smartthings app yet. I’ve done some research on the forums but haven’t come across anything that made sense (to me) regarding a simple solution.
I’m not trying to do anything overly fancy or complex, just open and close with the smartthings app.Thanks for any help. This SmartApp integrates Chamberlain/LiftMaster MyQ doors and light controls into SmartThings. It creates a garage door or light switch (MyQ light module, not the light on the door itself) device in your list of Things and allows you to control the deviceBy tapping the device buttons in the SmartThings mobile appAutomatically by your presence (coming or going) in a Routine or other SmartThings rules appVia switch tiles in a SmartTiles dashboardBy asking Alexa or Google Home to turn the on the door or lightimage imageInstallation and UsageFollow the instructions and get the code here:. Make sure and install the SmartApp code as well as the applicable device handlersAn optional (but strongly recommended) Contact/Tilt Sensor caIt was simple to set up and has never failed me. Chamberlain has been very “unfriendly” with regards to letting apps poll status. The current iteration of the app does a good job considering limitations imposed by Chamberlain. I have an ST multi sensor on my garage door and the app tells me whether the door is open or closed reliably.
Either way, I have an alert in the Chamberlain app that alerts me if the door stays open for more than X minutes as a backup. I do not think there are many (if any) other solutions that work better than this and are not “overly complex”.My Chamberlain MyQ garage door opener is the type that has a device wired via Ethernet that talks to the opener via their regular wireless protocol (it does not have WiFi baked in). To see if you are having coverage issues, you could use a ‘WiFi analyzer’ app on your phone to do a heat map of that area.
That might give you an idea of how good or bad the WiFi signal is in general. Does the garage door opener give you any indication of the signal strength anywhere?
If it does, I would not bother with scanning the area with your phone. The tilt sensor simply switches and it orientation changes from vertical to horizontal. Its not a vibration detection.
I don’t see the sensor on Monoprices website right now though. I’m sure you find the same switch elsewhere.Some users have set up a regular door contact sensor with the magnet on a hinge so when the door goes up, the magnet swings/hangs down away from the sensor and it reports open.
You can find photos in one of the MyQ threads. This is essentially what the tilt sensor does but built in.
There is a readme at the github site that hosts that program. It has very detailed instructions on how to install it. If you follow those, it’ll work for you.Look here under “Installation Instructions - Manually”# SmartThings MyQ Lite SmartApp### Current Notes. Please note this SmartApp cannot read the status of the MyQ door using the MyQ tilt sensor. Getting the door status will require a separate SmartThings-compatible sensor.
Myq App Instructions
It's an unfortunate hassle but is the only way we can do this without polling MyQ for status (which they will not allow done from the SmartThings cloud). This SmartApp is currently only supported in the.SmartThings Classic mobile app.; the new app does not yet support custom apps like this. If you get an error saying 'No supported devices found,' the most likely cause is you're running an older version of the SmartApp. Double check to see you're using the latest code. If you're still having trouble, there's a small chance your IDE info is not sync'd properly across all SmartThings cloud shards. One way to tell this is by checking the Hubs link and noticing your hub missing. Another way to check that is to reset all cookies and log in again (or try from a different computer) to see if it logs you into a different shard at that point, which will let you verify if things are out of sync.
If there's a problem with that, SmartThings support can help.### OverviewThis SmartApp integrates Chamberlain/LiftMaster MyQ doors and light controllers into SmartThings.

You should see the MyQ app in the right most column. Select publish and then select Execute Update.Now go to Device Handers and do the same thing.You can now add the App to Smartthings in your phone or tablet. It should show up the MyApps category at the bottom. Please note I’m writing this from memory so I may have missed some steps or detail. I posted primarily to put you onto the method that links your IDE account to the code in Github that Brian maintains. As he does fairly frequent updates and improvements installing the code this way will save some headache later when getting updates.JD has good general tutorial on installing custom code here.

So you’re new to SmartThings, you asked a question, and someone suggested “custom code” as an answer.Or you were browsing the forums, and you found something that sounded like it would be perfect for what you wanted, but again, “uses custom code.”What does that mean, how hard is it to do, and what’s the difference between a “SmartApp” and a “Device Type Handler”?(Note: the official terminology has changed a couple of times. “device type handler,” “device handler,” “DTH,” and “device type” all mean the same thing, and you will find all these terms used in the forums.)SECTION I: SMARTAPPS AND DEVICE HANDLERS: WHAT THEY ARESmartAPPS: Tiny Programs to decide what a specific device should do when, or to collect the information from a specific deviceSmartApps, including the various f.
