Hi all,
I’ve got an odd setup I need a little help with.
My gate opener’s receiver is in my garage, and something’s happened to the wiring out to the gate opener that’s stopped it working. I bought a MIMOLite to act as a sensor to detect when the receiver closes the dry contact on the command of the keypad or a remote, then signal HA via Z-Wave to run an automation to open the gate via MyQ (LiftMaster gate opener) since it has that function built in.
It works, but only intermittently. I have to go into Z-Wave JS, click on the MIMOLite, go to binary sensor, and refresh the data, then it will work for one more time. Then I have to go back and refresh the binary sensor in ZWJS. I don’t have an option to have the automation refresh the binary sensor data after it sends the signal to MyQ.
I bought another one to use as a replacement for the Insteon garage door kit since Insteon is done for, but if the sensor input can’t detect the NO dry contact of the receiver closing, will it work detecting an NC magnetic switch?
I have it set to “ANALOG trigger OUTSIDE thresholds” and all the thresholds are set default. TBH this part isn’t making much sense to me, so I have a feeling I’m missing something, and it’s probably obvious. I did test its communication, and when I trigger its relay (which isn’t connected to anything), it responds instantly every time, and I’m not getting any errors.
I’m lost. Open to ideas.
I’m running the latest version of HA on an RPi4.
