Check if you have a license field or check the documentation to see if it's a houselogix driver. If so, you may need your dealer to update or install the auto update driver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JGLI Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 I'm having a problem with the driver not telling Control4 that a door has opened or closed. If I use Control4 to open or close the door then the macro works (turning HVAC off while door is open). But when I do it from the button at the door it doesn't seem to turn the stat off. It worked for a while. Any thoughts? Liftmaster app is still working properly (sending notifications, etc.). Not sure how to check the status of the door.

JGLI Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 I think I fixed my problem, I changed the polling frequency to 60 seconds from 5 minutes... hopefully it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rickg Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Thanks again for the wink Hub driver. Shows when programming has a 30 day trial. Any cost thereafter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes and I can quote you an activation key via houselogix if you like. Pm me Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rickg Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Anyone having issues with the wink driver for this? Mine stopped working this weekend. Shows that you can open and close the door and will show change when doing it. But, door does not open or close. Any suggestions? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rickg Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 It will open from the chamberlain and the wink apps and not the C4 HC-250. Will change to open or close but, no reposnse from door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zaphod Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 What's the current status of MyQ drivers. Do any of them still work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zaphod Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 That's the one that's $200, correct? I think that's about what I paid for my two garage door openers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that was about what I paid for it. Right now I just use it for open and close control. After 2.10 caused a problem with the driver triggering an open/close event every polling interval (rather than just on state change) (fixed in the latest version of the driver), I put tilt sensors on the garage doors to figure out door state.

Adidaswood Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 I'm also looking to integrate wired contact sensors, all these polling drivers are pretty inconsistent if you ask me. I've tried them all and I find they only work sorta ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zaphod Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Does anyone know why Chamberlain made big changes with the API? Did they change their strategy and decide to lock things up? Or were there safety concerns around liability for unsafe door closures? I think I saw a warning in the MyQ iOS app about certain instances where the door would close when it shouldn't.

The other issues were issues with incompatibilities with the drivers and C4 releases, not any changes by Chamberlain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That change seemed to break most of the third pary tools that hooked into the API, including other HA systems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The HouseLogix driver works as expected on 2.10 and has been rock solid since it was installed a few years ago. i *think* the free EDS driver worked again after the API change, but I always had problems with it and there is zero support. Deleted the driver and never looked back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you use the sensors with the houselogix driver or could the sensors replace the driver all together as a stand-alone solution? I used to have the free driver and it’s not worth the hassle.

I used to have the free driver and it’s not worth the hassle. I use the sensors with the HL driver. I still need the HL driver to programmatically open and close the doors, but no longer use the polling to report door status. if you don't need to control the door then all you need are the tilt sensors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to have the free driver and it’s not worth the hassle. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I had the wires run when the house was built, but decided to try the Polling drivers because the the control4 garage package was cost prohibitive. so I'm thinking all I need to do is install the contact sensors or tilt sensor that I can buy on my own. I'm going to solder some leads to an extra door remote and using the relay\contacts on my controller. That's the basics of it. If you don't have the wires you might need a wireless contact sensor. I need to iron out a few details, but it seems there are several examples on these forums of how to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JGLI Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 I updated to 2.10 about a week ago and have been having a weird problem. I have a thermostat in the garage (an Ecobee, also running with the HouseLogix driver). I had a macro that worked very well for 18 months - when the door was closed, it would start a timer to run for 5 minutes, and when that timer expired it would turn on the thermostat. When the door is open, it turns off the thermostat. Now "When Door is Closed" is not really an Event, its more of a boolean and it runs every minute which is my polling frequency. So the timer resets every minute. This didn't happen before. Anyone have a thought? Ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
