Chamberlain 9200 GDO (Red button) - Only Obstruction sensor works #39

Closed Spiral1401 closed 6 months ago

Spiral1401 commented 6 months ago

I uploaded a gallery of 4 images to imgur showing my wiring, and a picture of my GDO model number and wall button.

I finally got MQTT working (fyi - don't put any spaces in the Device Name...) - but it appears only the obstruction sensor is functional.

My software/hardware versions taken from the device web config page: ratgdo v2.55 for hardware v2.50 - RatGDO

Upon the device being added to HA - Door/Light/Obstruction report as "unknown"

I then tried to control it via HA. Door and Light control do nothing.

Then checked the wall button - still works 100% normally - opens, closes, lights on/off.

When I opened it I walked through the sensor. HA recorded these events. I closed it and came back to HA to try to control door or lights - no luck. Only the obstruction sensor recorded any events. The door and light have had no events past the initial "unknown".

Now I am here :)

I saw in some other tickets that disconnecting the wall panel was something to try- should that be my next step? Any other information I can provide?

Thanks

So turns out I just didn't read the configuration UI fully.

I missed the bottom selector for choosing protocol. After changing to Sec 1.0, control of lights worked, but door was still unresponsive. So I opened the door manually with the wall switch. After that, the RatGDO seems to control the door as expected.

Sorry for the pointless ticket!

If I may make a suggestion, to avoid this for dummies like me - it might be worth forcing the user to select an option from this dropdown rather than default it to 2.0. I am not sure if that is possible.
