Yes, good question.

The best and simplest way is via esphome command line. This works on Windows, Mac and Linux in a terminal window.

  1. First, install ESPHome command line on your computer. Follow this guide.

  2. Then, download Konnected’s open-source config file for the GDO blaQ from GitHub.

  3. Find out the IP address of your GDO (from the Konnected app or your router) and then run esphome logs with the project config file and your device IP address like this:

esphome logs garage-door-GDOv2-Q.yaml --device 192.168.X.X

This will stream the logs the logs to your terminal window. If you want to save the logs to a file called gdo_logs.txt for example, you can do that like:

esphome logs garage-door-GDOv2-Q.yaml --device 192.168.X.X > gdo_logs.txt

The latter is probably best because you can leave it running on your computer all day or overnight, and it will save everything that happens and then you can post the log here.
