I have a LiftMaster GDO with a yellow button. I have purchased the Garadget button that was recommended on this site. I also have a Zooz Zen16 Multirelay that I was using with my old GDO.
I want to install the new button and store it on top of the GDO, and will use this only with HE, will use the pre-installed button to control the garage locally.
Does anyone have a picture or diagram of how to wire the Garadget?
From my research, it seems the red and white wires go into the first two slots on the GDO (red and white) alongside the current wires.
Connect the black wire from the button to r1/r1 (or which ever door you want to control if you have a multi door system. If multi door you will need one per door). Connect the terminals from the button 2 controller to the terminals on the garage door opener. (Leave your old button connected to the terminals on the garage door opener as well)
w*r to r1/r1, a&b to terminals on garage door opener itself. Leave existing button wires on same terminals so you can use both. Get rid of 1 & 2 and just use a usb cable and a charging block (like the one that came with your hubitat or an iphone)
@rlithgow1 Look at the ZEN16 again (it's upside down). The 1 & 2 wires shown in the photo are connected to R1 R1, not power. Power is via the power cable on the side.
@hubme .. Lose 1 & 2 and connect A and B to R1 and R1 .. polarity doesn't matter. Connect W & R in parallel to your existing button.
The new button really isn't meant to work. It's meant to bridge the signal between dry contact and security 2.0 protocols so the garage door opener reacts to the zen-16 output.
Sure it does, unless they did a really destructive job when soldering. The copper wires are just soldered to the vias on the PC board.
Now, @hubme .. are you sure you have the red and white wires connected in parallel to your GDO just like your existing button is? And are you sure you have a Security+ 2.0 opener (what color is your learn button)?
Once wired correctly the light on the new button lit up and with one click the garage opened. I then attached the devices to the GDO so they won't move and get in the way of the belts.
I tried to add the button to my Dashboard, and I think this is where things are getting messed up.
I added it using the template "Garage (Control)" - Initially it showed the Garage closed, I clicked the software button, it said "are you sure" and after clicking "yes" the garage door opened. GREAT!
But then it reported the garage as either "null" or "closing" and wouldn't allow me to close the garage. I refreshed and closed the page on my phone and no luck.
On my computer, I can go into the device details and from there I can click "open" or "close" and they work, but the door status is reported as "null" - I have a garage door sensor... is there a way to link them so it doesn't say null?
Should I be using a different template? (I tried "switch" and "button") but those don't work.
Your ZEN16 multirelay should be represented in Devices as something like
When you go into the device page for the R1 relay (that I cleverly called Garage Door Opener (Physical Relay)), you can control the garage door opener as follows:
Click ON.
A second later, Click OFF.
The garage door changes state, right? If it was closed, now it is open, and vice versa.
Great. So at this point, there are several directions you can go in, but I’ll tell you what I did. Install a special virtual garage door opener as described here starting in highlighted orange under step 3.
did everything... In my devices, the "Garage Door" accurately reports the status of the door (using my tilt sensor), and when I click "open" or "close" it opens/closes the garage door.
The only remaining issue is that the tile on my Dashboard will not open or close the door...
Here's what I have. The device is the "Garage Door Opener (Virtual)" created from the Zooz driver. Template is Garage (Control). When the GDO is open, it is green. When closed, red. When I click on it, it says "Are you sure?" and when I click yes, the GDO operates.
