@fuzzyligic First off, thanks for this code and integration. I have done everything and can find Garadget (Connect) under Marketplace/My Apps but the credentials does not work - it does not let me connect my Garadget account to SmartThings. The login step asks me to check my Garadget login and password. I have verified multiple times on the Garadget app that the username (my email) and password is the same as I am entering in Garadget (Connect). any idea why this is happening?
@abhi.ko sorry its taken me so long to get back to you.
yes its a strange issue for sure. could you please PM me the logs from the Garadget (Connect) section of the live logging window when you are attempting to put in your username and password.
failing that if you would like me to correctly troubleshoot. if could set a temporary password on your account and provide me with the details. if you are worried about security you can disconnect your garadget from the opener and i can troubleshoot directly and hopefully replicate the issue to come up with a fix.just PM me either the log or your details.
SmartThings does not see my Garadget unit, during the last phase of linking the Garadget app with the SmarThings smartApp.
Instead it only sees my other three Photons devices I have in my house(that control LED lights)
Please advise.
What is the best way to ask questions with respect to troubleshooting?
Thank you very much for putting the tutorial together in GitHub!
Ask away.
What is the issue you are having?
If it’s an issue once the device handler is installed. You can grab the log from smartthings logging and DM me it.
Can I hire someone to install the app in ST? Who wants to make some money?
First of all, thanks fuzzyligic for your job. I have a problem. I connect ST to Garadget with my credentials. The reply is: Credential Accepted! Garadget is now connected to SmartThings! Then I press the NEXT button, but in the “Choose devices” windows i have: “Select Device(s) You can’t currently add this”.
Can anyone help me.
Thanks.
Hi everyone I did all the steps to add this in Smart things via the instructions, but when I go into the smart things app on the phone and enter my correct UN and PW it will not let me login
Is there a FIX or another way you all can share to get Garadget on my smart things
Thanks all
@garadget @fuzzyligic Hi Denis & Stuart, currently I’m using IFTTT to trigger my smart lights when the garage open/close. Is it possible to do that with this integration?
Thank you very much and thank you Stuart for writing all this code for everyone!

I am having a similar issue. I have followed the instructions and when I attempt to add the Garadget SmartApp In ST I get a page with the message “please check your username and password”.
I can access the Garadget account with their iOS app on my iPhone, iPad, and through web access. I have even changed my password. After the change it still does not work with the ST Garadget Smart App but does work from all other interfaces.
Thanks,

I’m tagging in here also but this is now broken on Hubitat also. Can not log in via app even with correct credentials and OAuth being turned on.
@garadget @fuzzyligic any chance this app will get updated in the future at some point to support the new Auth method?
@ecastete Same thing happened to me. I followed the integration instructions to the teeth. Just like yours, ST kept giving me same message “please check your username and password”. I tried changing Garadget password. Still no luck.
If anyone else ran into this problem and found an answer please let us know. Thank you very much.
Hi Garadget community, i got this product recently and installed it today. Installation went fine but integration into SmartThings isn’t yet working for me. A lot of other people are having the same issue, which is that the SmartApp can’t create an authentication token with particle.io, response is that credentials are invalid.
I suspected it could be special characters (although I see it’s url encoding them) so I changed my password to something simple, and I can see I’m typing it correctly via what’s in the logs, but it continues to say invalid credentials.
It looks to be a problem at particle.io and not with you guys, but is there someone who can help me to resolve it?
Great, cool product…but if your hopes were SmartThings integration I think you may have gone the wrong route. It seems no one is supporting this anymore. If ST is important to you, you might want to return the garadget and go a different supported route.
For me, my main goal was to just know if my garage door was open or closed without walking downstairs, and secondary was to be able to remotely trigger the open/close from my phone. I wish i could have used garadget for both, but that wasn’t possible. Instead, I kept the garadget connected for the remote open capability (if i ever need it, it’ll be very cool) but for smartthings detection of open/closed, i used a “Ecolink Intelligent Technology Z-Wave Garage Door Tilt Sensor” which I had connected in a few minutes and the combination did the trick.
I have since left the Smartthings platform but went to Hubitat which is similar but local(and better). The ST app was ported over and hence with the auth broke is now no longer working. I wrote a MQTT driver for the Garadget for the Hubitat platform. I have no idea what kind of MQTT support exists in ST today but that may be an option. Otherwise there are some far cheaper options that use a relay and a contact or tilt sensor that should do the job.
The official SmartThings integration is live.
In SmartThings mobile app use “add device” and then look for Garadget under the brands tab.
We going to sort out the categorization so it is in “Garage Doors” instead of “Other”, but other than that it’s good to go.

As SmartThings integration is fully functioning now, I went out and bought and installed a second garadget device. I can see and control both doors within the garadget app, but I can’t add the second door to SmartThings. When I go to add the garadget device, only my first device is listed and not my second. Any suggestions?
I’ve tested the feature with the account hosting two doors and it worked without issues.
See if unlinking and re-linking the account solves the issue. If that still doesn’t work, please PM me the device IDs of both units and I’ll check things out on my end.
