Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Homebridge Plugin for Konnected's GDO blaQ

Konnected's GDO blaQ device is an interface to garage door openers from Liftmaster, Chamberlain, and others. You can purchase a GDO blaQ device here: Konnected Store or Amazon

This plugin enables the use of a GDO blaQ device with Homebridge (and derivatives like HOOBS). It supports most of the same features available to the GDO blaQ REST API. This includes garage door/light/lock controls as well as some sensor data. The full list is below:

  • Garage Door Status/Control
  • Garage Light Status/Control
  • Garage Remote Lock Status/Control
  • Garage Learn Mode Status/Control
  • Firmware Version Status
  • Motion Sensor Status
  • Play Pre-close Warning
  • Obstruction Sensor Status

It could, but does not currently, support:

  • Toggle Only Mode
  • Restart GDO blaQ Device
  • Resync GDO blaQ Device
  • Factory Reset GDO blaQ Device
  • Reset door timings
  • Security protocol selection

Please request these features via the issues section on this repo if you would find them useful.

Configuration

First, ensure you have fully setup your GDO blaQ device. If you have not purchased one, you can do so here: Konnected Store or Amazon

Once you've installed this plugin into Homebridge, it will automatically attempt to discover GDO blaQ devices using mDNS. If auto discovery does not work, the configuration is very straightforward - just use the GUI. If, for whatever reason, you don't want to do so, all you need to supply is a name, port, and host, like so:

{
    "platform": "BlaQHomebridgePlugin",
    "name": "BlaQHomebridgePlugin",
    "devices": [
        {
            "displayName": "West Garage Door",
            "port": 80,
            "host": "10.0.1.17",
            "mac": "00:11:22:33:44:55:66"
        },
        {
            "displayName": "East Garage Door",
            "port": 80,
            "host": "10.0.1.38"
        }
    ]
}

The mac field is optional, but is quite helpful if provided - this field is used to automatically update the connection if the IP address changes.

Implementation

GDO blaQ devices expose a real-time event source API as /events. This allows the plugin to stay up to date with no lag. The plugin caches the most recent status we've received for each accessory, enabling immediate replies to any status checks. For controlling, the GDO blaQ devices have a REST API that is automatically enabled. Therefore, this plugin uses the API routes exposed for sending commands to control different accessories.
