[Release] Virtual Garage Door App/Driver (ST Port)

[csteele]

There has been discussion about a DIY Garage Door App.. one that 'combines' two physical devices.

I found this discussion:

DIY Garage Door Controller

I've used a Konnected NodeMCU to control a relay that will "push the button" on my garage door opener. I've also connected a magnetic sensor to the Konnected, so I can tell if the garage door is open or closed. I like this solution better than the GoControl opener (which I also have), because it responds right away (don't have to wait for the beeping before my door opens or closes). With some simple rules, I've created a couple virtual switches: Open Garage - toggles the Konnected relay only…

there could easily be more...

Garage door opener

Found a few threads relating to garage door opener. This one... recommends the GoControl. Seems there are pros and cons to it like the sensor is not replaceable. I found this z-wave dry contact module on Amazon. [SL1500] It's a little pricey at $43. But it would work for the controller and then I could use a ST contact sensor for the door status. Thoughts?
