I have multiple Aqara u200 locks and myQ garage door opener. I want to run an automation in home assistance that if garage door is closed then lock the door too and vice versa. Any pointers would be great

@abambah To create an automation in Home Assistant that integrates your Aqara U200 locks with the myQ garage door opener, you’ll need to follow a few steps. Here’s a guide to help you get started:

  1. Ensure HomeKit Compatibility: Since Aqara products that support HomeKit can be connected to Home Assistant, make sure your U200 locks are reset and not currently paired with another HomeKit controller. Connect them to your local network.

  2. Add HomeKit Controller Integration:

    • In Home Assistant, navigate to Settings > Devices & Services.
    • Click on Add Integration and search for HomeKit Controller.
    • Follow the prompts to pair your Aqara U200 locks with Home Assistant.

  3. Install myQ Integration:

    • Similarly, you will need to add the myQ integration in Home Assistant to control your garage door opener.

  4. Create Automation:

    • Once both devices are integrated, you can set up an automation using Home Assistant’s automation editor.
    • For your specific use case, you would create an automation with the following logic:
      • IF: myQ garage door closes
      • THEN: Lock the Aqara U200 door lock
      • And vice versa for unlocking.

These steps should get you closer to having your desired automation running smoothly. Don’t hesitate to share your progress or any hurdles you encounter—our community is always here to help!

There is no integration between myQ and home assistant

@abambah It looks like there might be some confusion regarding the integration between myQ and Home Assistant. While there isn’t a direct native integration officially supported by myQ for Home Assistant, many users have successfully used third-party integrations or community-developed solutions to connect myQ garage door openers to Home Assistant. These methods often involve custom components or scripts that allow for control and automation within Home Assistant.

For your Aqara U200 locks, as they support HomeKit, you can integrate them with Home Assistant using the HomeKit Controller integration. With both systems integrated, you can create automated routines that control both the garage door and the locks as you desire.

Remember, community forums and discussions can be invaluable for finding creative solutions and workarounds for integration challenges. Feel free to explore and ask questions—your fellow smart home enthusiasts are always ready to lend a hand!

I’m sure there are other ways to accomplish what you’re looking to do, but I went with RATGDO.

Once I installed these on my two Chamberlain openers, I blocked the Chamberlains from all internet access (I didn’t want Chamberlain pushing an update that blocked the RATGDO). The RATGDO connects to Home Assistant through ESPHome locally. No need to worry about MyQ outages or internet outages. Additionally, it adds some cool features.
I know it sucks to spend more money on the openers (especially if you just bought some shiny new “smart” openers), but I’ve been using RATGDO for a couple of years and have no regrets.
Money well spent.

Yes, I was thinking about this too adding ESP32 based presence and laser sensor which will work with home assistant to run automation.
