Garage door icon openhab. I will be connecting my chamberlain garage door opener to open. The garage opener i bought is called boxer 3000 and it seems similar to almost all other openers on the market. If you have multiple garage door openers and or lights the device index is based on the order the garage door opener light s were added to the myq app. These icons can be used when describing items.

Also i changed the item names to reflect which garage door they are foor so i put a 1 at the end of the ones for garage door 1 and a 2 for garage door 2. For people with only one garage door opener the value needs to be set to 0. This shows an icon for a garage door as well as the current status in text. Adjust this to match the ip address of your openhab mqtt server.

It has a actually 2 remote controls with one button that controls the opening. One press starts or stops the opening and it runs until it s fully opened or closed. Starting openhab in debug mode will display your myq devices and the order they are listed in the api. The only real value you will need to customize is the mqtt server variable.

Since the garagedoor icon expects the states open and closed the icon will visually change to match the door state. Since the door icons end in open png and closed png they won t work with a switch unless you make copies of them and rename to end in on png and off png.
