Home automation integration

[saintman]

Hi,
received my opengarage hardware. Everything works like described. Thanks!

Any chance to see in future a step-by-step integration tutorial for noobs to use OG in various HASs? I am personally interested in Domoticz integration.
Maybe using MQTT is the easiest way? I know that there is a JSON output in opengarage, but my scripting skills are close to zero(((

Any help would be appreciated.

Domoticz integration using LUA script is here.

Sorry, I need to sit down and write the API document. For the moment, you can take a quick look at the source code:
https://github.com/OpenGarage/OpenGarage-Firmware/blob/master/OpenGarage/main.cpp#L654
to find out all HTTP GET commands that the firmware supports and go to the corresponding callback functions to see the return value of each command.

Actually it is working OK with Domoticz atm (using the script above). The only drawback is a delay with the door status (script runs once per minute). That is why support for sending MQTT messages from OpenGarage side would be awesome 🙄

Today I coded some bash scripts that will run on a system at my house. These scripts open/close/check status of a specified device. I’m calling from cron like this

15 9 * * * root /opt/opengarage/closedoor.sh http://192.168.0.100 opendoor

I’ll post the scripts here and probably build a powershell version. I haven’t looked at other scripts on the forum yet because I did all of this in about an hour for fun. Happy to work with others. I’d really like to modify the opengarage app I found on google play.

Cool. Thanks for sharing!

Hey, here is the start of some Powershell scripts to work with the Open Garage device. Read the first few lines to find options.

Enjoy!

Some tips of IFTTT integration would be cool 🙂 I see some people have other Blynk projects working with ifttt, but I’m too sick right now to try and decipher how to do it myself 😛

Hi – thanks for providing these. Unfortunately, I can’t get them to work:
sudo ./opendoor.sh http://192.168.1.65 opendoor
DEBUG ON
Door is Closed Opening Door

However, the door doesn’t open 🙁

status.sh works correctly.

Check the DEBUG flag. I have it set to on by default. in debug mode it doesnt send the signal to the device.

Thanks – I had set DEBUG to 0, but found I had to comment out the DEBUG line to get things working – all good now 🙂

Cheers,
