Using RM4, I created a rule which announces when the garage door is opening or closing. It works if I click on the garage door from the dashboard. But it doesn't work if I click the physical garage door remote button. The rule is: Trigger Events: Garage Door changed Action: IF (Garage Door o…

I think you can leave the IF out. The only trigger is garage door changed, and the only changes can be opened or closed, so the IF is redundant. Not sure why it's not working. When you push the physical button, does the change show up right away on your dashboard, or is there a lag?

Good thinking, jabecker. I tried watching the Garage door device directly in the Devices list. When I open/close it using the dashboard, the device has "door: opening" and "door:closing" while moving. When I use the physical remote control, the device doesn't show those. It just shows the normal "do…

Wait...when you say "phsycial button" do you mean your hardwired button in your garage or the button on the dashboard. Because if you're talking about the physical button in the garage then I would suspect the problem is in the way that your device is wired to your opener. What type of device are …

I have made an Arduino (ESP8266) with a momentary switch/ relay. It’s using the ‘hardwire’ as you probably are to open / close the door. There is no feedback back to Hubitat, so I’ve also mounted a sensor connected to the same Arduino. When the door is open, it will not close if I hit open again. S…

I’m using two magnetic normal open switches with my esp8266, zipped tied the magnets to the chain for open, closed, closing, opening and obstructed indications.

[image] m11: So to the question. What’s the best way to send sensor data from the Arduino and back to Hubitat (open / closed) / (on / off)? Code examples if there is available The easiest way is to simply use my HubDuino project to handle this. I even have an example sketch for controlling …

What type of device are we talking about? It's a GoControl/Linear GD00Z-4 Z-Wave+" ( Amazon ), using the "Generic Z-Wave Garage Door Opener" type/driver.

Then your wiring is wrong. That would have nothing to do with Hubitat. How do you have the Linear wired in to the opener? Is it in parallel or in series? The problem is, you want to have both the button and Go-Control able to close the connection between the two wires. What type of opener do yo…

[image] Ryan780: In general, you would have added the go-control to the two screws that your push button was wired to without disconnecting any of the existing wiring. Right, that's exactly how it's connected.

Garage door 'opening'/'closing' rule works from dashboard, but not physical button
