Node Iris by Lowe's tool for Aladdin Connect Garage Door

This tool can be used to check the status and open/close an Aladdin Connect Garage Door connected to Iris by Lowe's via a node script.
Aladdin Connect Garage Door must be setup on Iris by Lowe's (Instructions).

Usage

var irisGarageDoor = require('node-iris-aladdin-connect-garage-door');

function callback(text)  {
  console.log(text);
}

irisGarageDoor('IRIS_USERNAME', 'IRIS_PASSWORD', 'ACTION', callback, 'DEVICE NAME');

Parameter	Description
IRIS_USERNAME	Your Iris By Lowe's Username (usually an email address)
IRIS_PASSWORD	Your Iris By Lowe's Password
ACTION	status, open, or close
callback	a callback function
DEVICE_NAME	(optional) for multiple Garage Doors, specify device name

The callback function (added in v0.0.2) runs when your action is actually called (after the script connects to the login server and the websocket).
If ACTION was status, it will get CLOSED or OPEN, otherwise it will get OPENING or CLOSING.

Limitations

Not tested with other garage door controllers connected to Iris (only Aladdin Connect), but I assume it should work.
