You could make one with a sonoff sv which is wifi not zigbee and add a wired door sensor or add a zigbee one instead.
FYI anyone - I'm liking this Zigbee In-Wall Switch. MS-104Z. It appears to be very well made.
I cracked one open. Take a look. There's a wee TUYA Zigbee board inside....
And discovered its switched contacts are "Dry Contacts". That is they DO NOT have voltage on them. This makes them useful in situations where you might want to switch "other" circuits. The switch contacts are completely isolated.
When you DO want to switch something like a light fixture, then you need to place an external jumper wire between the external "L1" and "L" terminals.
S1 is the switch wire
Lout is one side of the relay (Load)
L1 is the other side of the relay (can be linked to L)
L are the Live terminals
N is the Neutral terminals
I like the fact that they've underrated the device to 10Amps even though there's a 15A relay inside. That's good to see. All the caps are 105c as well

Thanks for that it's another option for a garage door controller i think. Mine's currently a wi-fi sonoff board but this might make a nice replacement with a rule to toggle it quickly.
If you can make it work as a garage controller let me know. I have been searching for a ZigBee version for a while.
I have pretty close to zero electronic skills so hoping to have someone do it I can then learn/copy from
Been searching for a dry contact switch
Will definately work with my garage door opener. Wire it line with the push button!
This seems like a perfect device!
If you have a momentary button to open close your garage, use this diagram (replace fibaro with any dry contact)

So are you saying can do garage opener with a switch? Does not have to be this zwave garage opener specific one?
@coops8d if your garage opener supports a switch!
The fibaro gets wired inline with the switch
What garage opener do you have?
Just have a basic centurion one with the aeotec opener hooked to it, but that is a waste of money, which is why looking for alternatives.
Not sure of that model in particular, but I would assume that the aeotec is wired into a switch terminal. The fibaro would just replace the aeotec.
If you didn't have the aeotec is could be wired to a momentary switch
Do you have a model number for your opener?
Should be no need for a switch at all if it's a dry contact, the contact closes on the zigbee switch which then bridges the terminals on the door motor. Just looking at the wiring diagram again though on the lid it dosn't look like a dry contact. Did you actually test it @njanda
Yep.
Without the link there’s nothing on the relay.
That’s actually what prompted me to pop it open because on first wiring, my light Didn’t turn on but I could hear the relay clicking.
I’d left the link out.
Then I tested it with a multimeter.

That looks like this model ....
In which case you’d want the Fibaro or equivalent to do a ‘momentary’ switch.
Like a quick ‘close then open’ of the contacts (Fibaro or MS-104z or similar)
Yep that's it. Sorry was out so could not double check to get the model number.
Is there any other option that you have come across that is a zigbee switch? As Fibaro is zwave which trying to stay away from.
If its a dry contact device, it would work, providing there's an option in the driver to auto open/close circuit after x seconds.
Otherwise, i havent seen anh zigbee dry contact relays, only zwave
Awesome mate might grab a couple i think.
Anyone tried one of these

$50 cheaper than the schlage connect and $100 than yale lock.
I have been using a Smartthings Multisensor as a sensor for my garage door. Battery lasted 8 months. I understand there's different variables in play but curious if that would be within normal range for the battery life.
Can anyone recommend a good zigbee lightswitch? I have a few 3aSmarthome switches that have failed, and he wont replace. It is out of the warranty, but I'm not spending >$50 for 12 month warranty, and these single endpoint devices are failing. I'd rather go with someone else.
I saw at Bunnings they had some new ones the other day, they are usually pretty good with warranty issues as well.
I will try to get the name of them when there next.
