Smartthings garage door opener device handler.

You are on your way home your smartthings device knows you re within 1 mile of your house. In looking at the works with smartthings page it seems that there isn t an opener that inherently connects to smartthings as there are only 2 add on devices that connect to it gocontrol and iris. Smartthings device handler and smartapp to convert a z wave relay into a garage door opener button. The relay goes on and has a built in timer that once makes contact turns off after 1 second.

The meross msg100 garage door opener works perfectly with smartthings app. The iris z wave garage door controller gd 00z 1 along with smartthings allows you to remotely open close and monitor your garage door. It turns on the a c to ensure you come home to a comfortable temperature. The smart plug feeds the relay and the relay goes to the two switch terminals on the garage door opener.

But hey it s pretty good for 34. To do this in the smartthings app. It looks like my current garage door opener is failing and as i replace it i would like to get something that works with smartthings. Also adds into google assistant one thing though you have to add it separately into both google and smartthings.

Added via brand then meross and then switches. Then you should be able to install and configure the smart app. As you approach the house it opens the garage door unlocks the front door and disarms your security system. Now the smart plug when activated stays on only 1 second enough to activate the relay.

The motivation for this project was the lack of garage door support by google s assistant. This allows for control through the door locks section of st mobile app and also from any smart app which turns on off lights switches. From the home screen touch menu and select devices. You can also automate your garage door to open and close based on a schedule your mobile presence or other smartthings connected devices whatever suits your needs.

It turns on the light in your kitchen and turns on some music. This allows any garage door to interact with any st apps through a standard switch on off interface to open close respectively. Yep you need to add the device handler under my device handlers then add a new device that uses virtual garage door as the type under my devices. Right now i am trying to get it working on the dashboard but the smartthings door type of garage door is currently limited to a standard on off relay only.
