I installed the GDO blaQ, and updated the firmware to 1.2.4.1 through the Konnected app. ESP Home within HA, however, does not detect the GDO. I am able to view the device ip via browser and there are a string of recurring errors similar to what others have reported. Motion sensor randomly detects and clears motion when no one is in the garage.
I have a Liftmaster 3585S and 398LM control panel - purple button and wire. Security is set to security+1.0. screenshot for the error list is attached. Any help resolving the errors and detecting through HA/ESPHome is appreciated.
@Sjmcman Native API must be enabled in order for it to talk to Home Assistant. It can’t be greyed out. You have to edit the firmware settings, enable it, and then perform a new firmware update.
Was able to enable Native API and update the firmware. blaQ discovered and configured by HA - thanks @drothenberger and @nate.
Device doesn’t show up in ESPHome Dashboard and I still receive the errors from the first screen shot. Tried Security 1.0 with Smart Panel, which reduced the errors. Both new screenshots from the device web page attached.
If you are using the Konnected app to manage firmware updates, then you cannot also use ESPHome dashboard to manage firmware updates. Choose one or the other.
Enable the “Security+ 1.0 with smart panel” protocol only if you have a digital wall button like the 889LM. These are the ones that have a motion sensor and extra buttons for timed closing and learn.
398LM control panel has learn and motion features. Any insights on the recurring errors:
Unhandled Command: 40, resp: 00
Unhandled Command: 51, resp: 01
You should use the Security+ 1.0 with smart panel protocol option with this wall button.
They’re not really errors. This just means that the blaQ has received a data packet that it didn’t care about or was inconsequential so it was ignored.
The way the GDO blaQ works is by listening to the chatter over the wire between your garage opener motor and the digital wall button. The older Security+1.0 openers talk by constantly sending 2-byte commands over the wire. The blaQ can understand and emulate certain commands. The ones we care about are defined here: gdolib/gdo_priv.h at master · konnected-io/gdolib · GitHub
