I think one channel with the latest action (open/closed at [date time]) is sufficient, unless you may be thinking of something else too?

Just thinking out loud here, would it be possible to maybe show the “Last time garage door opened” and “Last time garage door closed”?

[sonyxperiageek]

Overwrote the previous JAR and added new item in and voila! “Vehicle detected” is showing on my sitemap! It’s late night here in NZ now so will move the car tomorrow to see if vehicle status changes.

So far so good!

Thanks Paul! Yeah, temperature readings not a massive biggie for me. Main thing is the distance sensor, vehicle detection and that it can open/close garage. 🙂

By the way, did you ever receive AUD25 from @opengarageio ? 😀

[sonyxperiageek]

No problem @psmedley

Yeah it would be great to add your binding to the Openhab releases. Have you tried creating one of these threads on the OpenHab Community Forums? You may get more people there who could test too if they also have an OG.

In terms of adding vehicle detector or temperature sensor channels, why not! 🙂 I could set up some rules in OpenHab based on the distance sensor readings, but if it’s in the channel, would make it easier for others if they want it I guess. Re temperature sensor, is that the device temperature? That won’t be as important to add a channel, but as a “geek” I’d include it.

Cheers.

Well that was easy! 🙂

Dropped the gson jar into the add-ons folder, and OpenGarage binding is there now. Set up OpenGarage settings and now I have a switch for my garage door as well as distance measurement on my sitemap! Thanks @psmedley for building this binding!

Now I just need to see where I can get a longer piece of the white control wire as I want to mount my OpenGarage device closer to the beginning of the actual garage door for better accuracy.

Found the issue. Yep it’s what you just described!

org.osgi.framework.BundleException: Could not resolve module: org.openhab.binding.opengarage [217]
Unresolved requirement: Import-Package: com.google.gson; version=”[2.8.0,3.0.0)”

Will installing that version of gson mess anything else up in OpenHab I wonder?

Thanks.

Hi @psmedley, I have added your jar file to the addons folder of my openHab installation. What are the next steps to get this going please? Thanks!
