Possibility to make motion sensor available? #91

Closed jalustig closed 4 years ago

jalustig commented 4 years ago

My LiftMaster automatically turns on its lights when it detects motion. Is there a way to make this available via HomeBridge so that we could have essentially a built in motion sensor?

hjdhjd commented 4 years ago

Short answer is: unlikely. If the myQ API exposes it, I can do something with it...but I haven't seen anything in the API that seems usable that can show motion sensor status. You can take a look for yourself by turning on debugging (but be warned, a lot of data will be logged). Look for the JSONs that show the myQ devices that get detected in status refreshes. If there's a field or entry for your motion sensors and their status, post it here and I'll take a look.

Looking at my own devices, there isn't a way to do this currently that I am aware of. Thanks!

Bump on this one - if you have the JSON details above, I can look into supporting this in the future. Otherwise, I'll close this one due to inactivity. Thanks!

I’ve looked at the JSON and I don’t believe that the device (or at least my version) makes the motion sensor data available.

It seems actually that the motion sensor is on the wall mounted unit (which also incidentally has the button to turn on/off the light), not the actual ceiling mounted garage door opener.

Thanks for the followup. That's unfortunate. I hope in the future there's a bit more sophisticated support for things like that from myQ but time will tell. Closing this one out.
