Maxwell70 commented 5 years ago

Hi! Please add garage doors.

ArjanKranenburg commented 5 years ago

Just the icons or do you need more?

Maxwell70 commented 5 years ago

@ArjanKranenburg An icon that can then be used in flow and in the HomeKit. Thanks!

Additionally, i want to have such devices: purifier (with air quality) and humidifier.

Hi, regarding garage doors, can you add a new class "garage door" with a push button (open/close) and a status (opened/closed)? I'm using opengarage.io and currently opening/closing them with button class, but this way I only get an mqtt notification about what it did with the latest action (door just opened or closed), but cant check current status (determined by distance - if that matters here). Thank you!

Thanks for the suggestions. Classes are defined bij Athom, I cannot add my own. There is no 'Garage' class, but there is 'Windowcoverings' which is similar in its functionalities.

I can specify the capabilities to choose for a class and I see that there are 2 Window-coverings capabilities that are not yet supported bij VD: windowcoverings_closed and windowcoverings_set

I'll add those capabilities.

sirotkaslo commented 5 years ago

Yeah I took a look at those classes, will write to them to add this class, but for now a windowscoverings with a button and those capabilities will do just fine! Thank you!

I am also interested in a solution for my garage door. The windowcoverings_state with up, idle, down can be used to control the garage door for open and close. But at the moment I can not find a nice solution to show the actual state of the garage door.

@ArjanKranenburg What about the plan to include the windowcoverings_closed and windowcoverings_set capabilities? Would it be possible to have a status icon at the device to show if the garage door is open or closed?

I have tried also the "Home Alarm" class with the capability "Door/Window open" that have a alarm_contact. But also this does not show a status icon at the device button. You can only see the status if you "open" the device.

I am also Interesses in Garagedoor with status of Open/closed.

sirotkaslo commented 5 years ago

I kinda solved this issue with an esp8266 with mqtt and I open/close doors with it and it also sends me a notification when either of these events happen. Then I bought a door sensor from xiaomi and I use it for open/closed statuses.

tohmc commented 5 years ago

Hi But how do you assoziate These two with each Other? I Want an device that Control the Garagedoor and Give me the Status in one. I dont know how to say. Virtual device -> use Xiaomi to Show Status Virtual device -> use shelly to Control the Garage. AND Show it as one device.

Sorry for my Pore english. Did you unterstand what i want to explain?

sirotkaslo

Can you explain how you done this?

sirotkaslo commented 4 years ago

Sorry for my late reply, holiday season:) Unfortunately you can't have it as one device, I simply have one switch for opening and next to it xiaomi showing an alarm when the door is open. IMG_4141
