pkkaiser Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 My installer wired the two garage doors directly with relays over cat5 from the overhead doors to my EA5. SO I can open and close the garage doors via C4. But, we don't know if the doors are open or closed. I noticed that I have these which should be able to tell status but I think they are part of the security system (see pictures) which is also integrated into C4 (Elk M1 Gold). Any way to use the sensors to connect with C4 to be able to tell the system if the garage doors are open or closed and program off of it (eg. close doors if they are open at night).

pkkaiser Posted September 15, 2019 Author Share Posted September 15, 2019 This is how the garage door is bound. Cannot program off the contact state, only the relay state PK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Lowe Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 The contact sensors are updated via the ELK security panel. So the panel is not showing the correct information or the contact needs to be inverted. the first screen shot in the security panel i would check to see if the icon to the right changes when the door opens and closes. if it does not that means the panel is not setup correct or the sensor might have a dead battery.

pkkaiser Posted September 15, 2019 Author Share Posted September 15, 2019 Icon changes correctly when garage door closes (as in it disappears). I can add a generic garage door sensor and bind the contact sensor to the same Elk zone and that correctly shows sensor state, but the programming is ugly. Was wondering if there was an easier way using the above driver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anon2828 Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 MyQ garage door openers support what the current status is. What we need is a MyQ driver that works with Control4. I'm unaware that one exists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Lowe Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 the programming should be on the added driver. when door opens and when door closes should be really easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm unaware that one exists. there is a driver. but due to the API limitations it can be slow to update status. the best is to get the driver for control. and use contact sensors for the door state. or if your crafty wire and extra controller into a relay for controller.
