ValueError: Channel must be an integer #27

I have GarageQTPi installed on a Raspberry Pi B running Raspbian Stretch Lite. I'm also running a Raspberry Pi 3 with Hass.io installed. I'm wanting to control my garage door from within Home Assistant using GarageQTPi over MQTT.

When I run python main.py from within the GarageQTPi directory, I get the following Traceback: Traceback (most recent call last): File "main.py", line 61, in <module> door = GarageDoor(doorCfg) File "/home/pi/GarageQTPi/lib/garage.py", line 31, in __init__ GPIO.setup(self.relay_pin, GPIO.OUT) ValueError: Channel must be an integer or list/tuple of integers

My config.yaml file looks like this:

`mqtt: host: 192.168.1.136 port: 1883 user: homeassistant password: my_password doors:

         id: 'garage_door'
         relay: '23'
         state '17'
         state_topic: "home-assistant/cover/garage_door"
         command_topic: "home-assistant/cover/garage_door/set"
         position_topic: "home-assistant/cover/garage_door/set_position"
         availability_topic: "home-assistant/cover/garage_door/availability"

`

I'm new to using MQTT, so please let me know if anything is incorrect/incompatible with my config. I've added the position_topic and availability_topic only since they were included in the Home Assistant config and I figured everything should be identical between the two.

Any ideas as to why I'm getting the error? I've been unsuccessful getting anything other than "unavailable" or "unknown" as a status for the garage door in Home Assistant.

Thanks in advance, jerry

The relay and and state values should be just the numbers without apostrophes or quotes, just like the port is.

Thank you. That solved that issue. I'm still not getting an updated status in Home Assistant, though. I'm sure that's another issue.

Thanks for the help.
