I’m using the OpenGarage device.
I am able to open and close it with the Gateway using the HTTP add-on. There is an HTTP action to open and close the garage door:
http://192.168.1.xyz/cc?dkey=xyz&open=1
http://192.168.1.xyz/cc?dkey=xyz&close=1
For reference, the API documentation can be found here:
https://openthings.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/folders/5000283223
There is also an endpoint to get the status of the door (whether it’s open or closed), and a bunch of other properties. Is there a way with an existing add-on to get the values of these properties into the Gateway to use for rules and such?
Also, I’m wondering if there a better way to incorporate this device into the Gateway?
I just created a new OpenGarage add-on, based on that API document (I don’t actually have one of these devices). Can you give it a try?
Absolutely, I’m willing to test it out! Just let me know what to do!
I was thinking about creating an add-on myself, but I didn’t know where to start, so this will be a good learning experience for me too!
You just need to install the add-on the usual way, then configure it with the device’s IP address and device key.
Oh, I didn’t realize it was already available!
Anyhow, I just tried to add it, but I ran into an error:

Oops, my fault. That should be fixed now, with version 0.1.1.
I got the new version, and I entered the IP address and the device key. Then I tried to add a new Thing, but nothing is showing up. Is there something else I should try?
Are there any errors being logged?
Ah yes, I see another error in the logs:

Can you post the output of http://<ip address>/jc please?

Thanks! Hopefully v0.1.2 will work better for you.
Thanks for writing this add-on, I really appreciate it!
