Like the idea to disable the notification.
Yes, this was an absolute for the WAF. I made sure to make it easy for her to just tell Alexa to “shut up” when she would get annoyed when Alexa would keep reminding her that she had left the garage door open, lol.
I like your interface with Ring, but since Ring did not exist when I made my system and I already had a rock solid 64 zone DSC system in place that I had installed 20 years ago, my system is more “old school”, utilizing a dedicated magnetic sensor system that was specifically designed for overhead garage doors. It is very sturdy and strong with a 2” operating gap:
This is how I have it installed on my garage door:
As it is magnetic, it also does not use any power and is just another contact sensor on my DSC system. My security system is integrated to Hubitat via the Envisalink Integration giving me internet access as well as Hubitat control and automation capabilities.
Speaking of Hubitat garage control and automation, here are some links to other DIY projects that involve the garage that I have had fun with:
Cutting out MyQ cloud from Garage Door control
Garage Door Blockage Indicator System (my “fricken laser beams on top of sharks”parking guide design is towards the bottom of this thread)
Its really easy to start that trip down the rabbit hole! Hope these give others some ideas and inspiration to come up with even better implementations (again, my stuff was implemented many years ago, lol).
