Hubitat Garage Door control for Chamberlain MyQ enabled systems

Recently purchased 3 new Chamberlain openers for my doors. They came with the same wall switch which is used in the Garadget Security+ 2.0 Dry Contact Adapter. Instead of spending $75 for 3 extra buttons I already have, is there some instructions on how the extra wire leads are connected in the Garadget adapter?

the dry contacts from the garadget adapter go to the relay inputs (zooz 16/17 or MHCozy inputs)

If you have DC power terminals + the wall switch contacts available on the Garage door opener, you can use a Fibaro Smart Implant. This gives you the ability to control 2 doors with digital inputs for open / close sensors.

I make mine into an actual Garage Door Controller via the "LGK Virtual Garage Door" app/device - it even works via Hubitat HomeKit integration, so you get CarPlay integration too.

The new openers I bought have the same Chamberlain type switch as the Garadget Dry Contact adapter, But I do not know how exactly the extra wires are connected in the Garadget.

I want to modify the switches to replicate the Garadget adapter, since mine are identical, minus the bypass to use a dry contact relay.

I also already have a Zooz 16 from the previous openers I had.

If you're comfortable with opening and soldering wires, then look for the two leads connected to the physical button press on the circuit board of the Chamberlain switch. That's where the two wires which connect to the Zooz dry contact are soldered to. Sorry, I don't have a picture. I needed only one adapter and I don't have the soldering equipment, so it was cheaper to just buy the adapter.

This thread has some ideas for using a remote for three doors.

Thanks I will take a look.

I did see the remote option, but I have 3 doors and was trying to avoid batteries. It seemed the cleanest option was the door switches.

Look above. There’s a battery bypass option as well. USB option for coin battery

I bought this wall adapter and soldered to my garage door remote. I have 3 garage doors also so I just used one of their remotes since it has three buttons on it. Now I operate w/o any batteries. I will post a final pict one my project box arrives and I can neatly tuck it away.

I do have a 3 button remote, so I am curious on how it works out for you. With over 120 devices, I try to cut back on batteries when I can.

It works well so far. Almost a month or more of using it daily. Here are some picts. No making fun of my soldering job. Will post another when I have my project box.

I am thinking of using a USB (5V) adapter and a buck converter (down to 3V) instead of the wall plug but I think this will be the final solution for now.

This might help if it just the push button.

This is the way

Thanks, this is what I needed!

Also just to confirm the 2 wires coming off the button that I solder on, they would go into the R1/R2/R3 ports on the Zen16 and the SW1/SW2/SW3 would not be used?

Correct. For the Security+ devices, you can ignore the SW1/2/3 ports. Just use the R1/2/3 ports :+1:

So I soldered on the wires to each switch and all 3 doors are working great with the Zen16.

Nice :+1:t3:. Can you share pix for others to reference?

Ah yeah I forgot to take a pic before I mounted the switches back on the wall with the Zen16. My two young sons where interested which is good, but distracting lol.

The contacts are a little small, but I just used the same wire that came with my openers.

Mine is mounted in the garage right outside our door from the kitchen. Due to the wires for then openers being so short it's not the neatest setup I would have preferred, but it's not inside the house at least.

I can take a pic of it mounted when I get home

Has anyone tried to integrate the ratgdo with Hubitat?
