Interface with your MyQ devices. Works and tested with both Chamberlain and LiftMaster.
NOTE: This package is currently not working. A new update will be released after this pull request is merged in.
yarn add myq-api or npm install myq-apiInitialize credentials of the user using email and password.
| Parameters | Required | Type | Details |
|---|---|---|---|
| true | String | User email | |
| password | true | String | User password |
Example code:
var { myQ, constants } = require('myq-api');
var account = new myQ('email', 'password');Logs into the MyQ account and generates a security token. This security token must be generated before you access the rest of this API. Note that this security token is short-term and will not work after some time.
Example code:
account.login()
.then(function (result) {
console.log(result);
}).catch(function (err) {
console.error(err);
});Example returned object if call is successful:
{
"returnCode": 0,
"token": "abcd1234-a1b2-ab12-a1b2-abcdef123456"

}Since the underlying MyQ API is volatile, there might be changes unforeseen by the current version of this software. An extra message detailing the request error that it encountered will be returned whenever possible.
{
returnCode: 11,
message: "Something unexpected happened. Please wait a bit and try again."
unhandledError: // request error

This API depends on a native ES6 Promise implementation to be supported. If your environment doesn't support ES6 Promises, you can polyfill.
