jhanson999, there is no such thing as GarageDoor device in Vera, so plugin creates new lock device for each garage door. At least conceptually it’s the same with open and close actions, something like BinaryLight would be way more confusing with on and off.
Has this stopped working for everyone else? It authorizes still but hasn’t checked the door status in almost a week. something wrong with the scripting?
When I had to start from scratch I noticed the status variable is missing from the list. So essentially I’m having the same issue.
I checked both my UI5 and UI7 Vera 3 units. No issues with checking either auth or door status by the plugin.
Mine has been working as expected

Mine wasn’t working, but a restart of my Vera Edge and it started working again.
I had 1.8 modified with the new files from several pages back. It wasn’t opening but still said authorized. I uninstalled and got the 1.9 version re-setup and now it’s fine.
I went to the list of files in the UI and clicked on the “open in device simulator” next to the “D_GarageDoor1.json” file and suddenly the lock device showed up. There is no logical reason I can think of for that to work, but it did so I’m not going to argue.
Mine stopped working today. Here is what I noticed: when I logged into my Vera, I had two new devices that were in “No Room”. These devices were my garage door names with a “1” after them. When scrolled down to my garage room, and the garage door opener devices were now missing. So the first thing I did was try using the new devices that were created in “no room”. Neither of them worked. I then checked my settings in the MYQ app, everything seemed to be good, but I re-logged in just to make sure. Nothing worked. Then I tried renaming the new devices to remove the 1 from the name. I got an error message saying I could not do this because another device already existed with that name. I then completely uninstalled the MYQ app which automatically removed the devices. I restarted my Vera and reinstalled the MYQ app. Once I logged into the app, the two devices were automatically created, again with a 1 at the end of the name. However, they are still not working and I still can’t remove the 1 from the name because my Vera still thinks the original device exist.
So as it stands now, I have the app installed. The authorization is good and it has found my two “garage doors / gates”. The two openers have Vera Devices automatically created, but they don’t work for control and their status isn’t updated if i open the doors manually. I should also mention that I do not have any error messages of any type.

Update; I restored a backup from a few days ago and now everything is back to normal. No clue what was going on there. I have been having some weird things happen recently though…
There appears to be a bug in the UI of the setup.
Password text field doesn’t honour special characters. In my case my password contained a # and the app chopped off everything including and after that character.
I was able to manually stick it in the variable, but it had me head-scratching for a while (note: it clearly showed it truncated on the setup window to the left of the text entry.)

My only guess is they updated the app a couple of times and perhaps that caused some goofiness where the plugin reads the json from the web.
I modified the code a little bit, and was able to get it working again with my Vera Edge. It’s not been working for me for several months.
I recently replaced a failed garage door opener with a Chamberlain myQ unit. I was happy to see there was a Vera plugin for myQ. I installed the GDO and then setup the plugin. Everything seemed to go smoothly and I can open and close my new GDO through my VeraLite. My question has to do with the device type. The myQ plugin creates a device type of a Door Lock (category 7, sub 0) while my Linear GD00Z-4 creates a device type of a Garage Door Switch (category 3, sub 5). I was wondering why? I would like to have both Garage Door Openers listed in the same grouping so I don’t have to scan up and down the page to find my right and left GDO. Does anyone know if there are any plans to update this plugin? If so, would you please consider making it a Garage Door Switch with the next update? I only suggest the myQ be changed since the Linear is part of the MCV baseline now so, it should be the standard.
@kendad if you (or anybody else) are willing to volunteer to make this or other change(s) to myQ plugin - please send me a PM and I will add you as a developer. I had some time to spare in the beginning, so I bundled original machro sources into a plugin, made few fixes and published it via the MIOS plugin repository to make it an official plugin. We had few other developers who contributed a lot of useful fixes and features (i.e. support for other opener types and devices) but it hasn’t been actively developed recently and all the developers are MIA, so extra help is always welcome.
PS Please note that plugin is currently both UI5 and UI7 compatible, so if Garage Door Switch is only available in 1.7 - MyQ plugin should be flexible enough to fall back to Door Lock for 1.5 installs.
@robbiebyrd what modifications did you do? If you have some critical fixes I’ll try to find time to add your changes to the official repository and certify new version with MIOS.
kornev, I would be happy to help if I could. I have very little coding experience especially with LUA. I can look into the files and follow along in most cases. I have a hard time associating how each file links to the other. Anyway, let me try to see what I can do with this category/sub-category issue. I will assume the latest files are the current app version. I can un-compress them onto my local drive to review and edit. I will let you know if I have any success.
so in order to run this plugin, do you also need an account at liftmaster? I see in the Devices that it added my LiftmasterMyQ but doesn’t work until I sign up over there?
I just see issues here that there are no beginner documents. Do you really have a to be thinking like a programmer to get things to set up and work for you on VeraLite? I do not understand what a Luo is, or half the things that are discussed in this forum. I’m just winging it by installing aps and seeing if something happens.
You need a MyQ account to run the plugin as it can only work via the MyQ servers since liftmaster/chamberlain doesn’t allow it any other way. That same account is also used for the MyQ app that liftmaster/chamberlain published which can operate your garagedoor from your phone and gets notifications.
anyone else getting this error even though the correct username and password are stored
MYQ DEVICES FOUND:Number of garage doors / gates found:Username not configured. Password not configured.

thanks

Make sure once you installed the plugin to go to the Configure tab and set up your model, userID and password or you will get those errors.
