hi,
yes, the username and pass are stored and setup correctly
Hi,
I believe there is something more to this.
i have another vera with ui7 and i am getting the same error.
IS anyone else having this error?
thanks
KJ
sorry your having this issue… my system is working fine…
no errors… did you try to add the user name and pass again in the fields and click update then restart/refresh browser
Check out the below post. Just in case the plugin you have is lacking that particular update.

GOT IT!!! Works…
I needed to uploaded the lua fix…
Thanks everyone…

Is anyone else having problems with the plugin communicating with myq? I can get it to open/close the door maybe 1/10 times I try from the UI. The my app is still working every time. I’ve changed a few things in my setup over the last couple of months (upgraded to UI7 and veraplus) but I’m not sure when the problem started.
Note that I did upload the extra lua fix last summer, so don’t think that’s the problem (unless I need to upload again after the transition).
Not experiencing any issues with MyQ. Have VeraPlus with firmware version 1.7.1754. Have Chamberlain HD520EVG opener with Internet Gateway. Opens and closes every time. Did not do upgrade when I got my VeraPlus. Removed everything from my VeraLite and then installed as new to VeraPlus. Installed the latest MyQGateway app (v1.9) and did not make any changes or fixes.
Hi,
I wonder if you can help me please, I?m attempting to setup a rule that when a sensor shows the door as open, it contacts the MyQ Server to update the lock status. Is there a bit of Luup code that would force the MyQ plugin to check immediately please? I tried just setting a really short check time but that doesn?t really work very well so I thought that if when the door tilt sensor showed and open / close I automatically ran some Luup code a few seconds later to poll the MyQ servers that would do a better job and cause less communication between the servers.
Hope you can help and thanks very much for your plugin 
I just saw this posted on reddit (Discontinuation of MyQ Connect Community SmartApp - Announcements - SmartThings Community), seems as though Chamberlain is shutting down the unofficial API that is used to integrate MyQ into Smartthings, which I would assume is the same way we are able to connect to the MyQ API as well. So does anyone know if we going to lose the functionality of our doors?
The “shutdown” was supposed to start on May 5. It is May 8 and the ST integration is apparently still working.
The plugin here appears to be access the general user portal which may be different. One thing that I personally would recommend to people is to adjust the polling interval of the plugin. There is NO POINT in having it authenticate to the portal as often as it does as it’s far too many times per day (288) just to see if the door status has changed (which happens, what, six times per day?). And nowhere near often enough to actually be able to really monitor the status - use scenes and a tilt sensor to do this more accurately and drop the polling interval down to once or even twice per hour.
ST is getting “kicked out of the party” because A) they used a non-public API and b) placed a heavy enough load on Chamberlain’s infrastructure to essentially “crash it”.
The Vera plugin is ‘masquerading’ as the MyQ/Craftsman app using it’s unique app ID. I’m not familiar with the ST solution but chances are they are both based on the same unofficial API that was published somewhere on the web. Whether the ST solution uses the same masquerading technique I do not know.
Luckily I have a parallel solution. A Telguard GDC1 that does not depend on any internet servers.
Glad to hear it’s likely to keep working
Is it possible to check status via a luup command?

I a query against the MyQ plugin but that didn’t seem to do what I was looking for. I suspect that what needs to be done is to command the MyQ plugin to “refresh” at the time it’s polled as opposed to waiting until the next time time interval. I had also considered looking for a way to programmatically set the next refresh time for the plugin, but I don’t know if that would actually wake the system up correctly to do it. I personally don’t like that the status of the opener is not available “locally” and has to be queried out of the cloud - it would be MUCH better if we were able to force a poll to the opener itself to get its status.
I gave up on the idea completely and now rely on a tilt sensor to tell me the door’s status.
I use a tilt sensor too but obviously the lock then shows the wrong status. I did setup a scene to change the status but just thinking it may have been better to make the plugin poll the servers instead when the tilt sensor said to.
Also, I wonder how difficult it would be to poll the actual opener, after all, it’s in the exact same network as my Vera. Probably encrypted communication though
Actually, after the last rework of the plugin, an option was added to poll the MyQ/Craftsman servers after a door status change occured (as in you hit open or close) to get the current value of the door status. This defaults to 30 seconds after the status change but can be set to a different value under Advanced → Variables in the plugin device itself via variable RefreshAfterChangeInterval.
It is not possible to poll the local MyQ/Craftsman gateway as the APi for the communication between it and the MyQ/Craftsman servers has not been released or leaked. It would require some major hacking/reverse engineering to get that info. Which would undoubtedly result in legal action from MyQ/Craftsman against whoever did that. This based on previous responses from them regarding their ‘IP’.

So, what you’re alluding to is that the plugin is alerted to the status change of the door and it then needs to poll the MyQ servers to get the “new” status? Why isn’t it defaulted, then, to waiting a VERY short interval (like 2 seconds) to poll the servers so that we can use the status update as a trigger to do other things like turn lights or on off? 30 seconds seems a “very long” default interval… No?
I assume you mean after we hit the button in Vera rather than a button on the remote. My Vera status doesn’t update on its own 30 seconds after a change.
Is there no way we can call that poll of the MyQ server using code so that we can link to a tilt sensor?

I found the polling to be A) completely unnecessary and B) totally unreliable.
In my scenario, I need to receive email notification of the door being opened and then closed so that I know that the kids have gotten home from school, are in the house, and the door went back down. With the Telguard GDC1, I received almost instantaneous notification because the GDC1 is built as a notifying device. When I changed to the Liftmaster opener with MyQ, the kids were able to open the door, come in, and close door all before anything was updated in Vera. So, no notification. Also, I need the fastest alert I can get because I have the overhead lights in the garage connected in so that they turn on when the door opens after dark. The MyQ plugin by itself simply wasn’t cutting it.
I built two scenes for the opening of the garage door: One is triggered off of a tilt sensor and it sends an “open” command to the MyQ-enabled opener. Since the door is already in motion, the additional “open” command only has the effect that it trips the status of the opener in Vera. The second scene is triggered by the status change of the opener and will turn on the interior shop lights of the garage if it’s after dark. The result is that I will get notification of the door being opened about five seconds after it completes the open cycle and the lights come on about one second before the door is fully open.
There is one additional scene that is triggered by the tilt sensor for closing of the door. It immediately sends a “close” command (which updates the status of the opener in Vera) and sets a five minute timer in motion to turn the lights off.
My tilt sensor is located at the top of the second panel down on the door. So, it will always sense a status change while the door is still in motion although this admittedly delays the turning on of the lights by about three seconds because the door has to be about 1/4 of the way open before it recognizes that the door is being opened.
I started out using the MyQ/Craftsman plugin for the existing Craftsman opener which I had upgraded to MyQ. Before that I had already installed a tilt sensor. Which I relied on for door status as it directly reported to Vera. When I had a chance, I installed a GDC1 in parallel to the same opener. Which is basically the one getting the most use. The MyQ is still there as a backup and actually the plugin is on both my Vera’s so the door can be controlled from either. The Ui7 Vera uses that to close it if I forget and she goes to Away mode. As the GDC1 is on the Ui5 Vera.
