SMART Garage Door! Use this to turn your dumb garage door into smart garage door.

$88 plus tax is not a bad value. You can do the same with Sonoff SV a 12v smart relay module unit and a Zigbee door switch for about $25.

Thanks for sharing today Chris, I enjoyed the video, especially your scrambling with the comm port, one of my more common mistakes!

[@jpileggi1]

Thanks for the vid. I will echo a previous comment here that you can accomplish the same goal with a Zigbee dry contact relay for less than $25. I avoid WiFi based devices whenever possible…Zigbee devices are more reliable, lower cost and fewer headaches.

Interesting comment about Zigbee being more reliable than WiFi. I haven't had issues with my WiFi devices. I run Zigbee, Z-Wave, and WiFi devices in my environment. So far, they all seem to work equally well. For a quick DIY device for those that don't want to build out the dry contact solution, this fits the bill. Does it cost a bit more, probably. However, it is more plug and play and that same concept is why one might pay more for a product at a local corner store rather than driving miles to a grocery store. It's the "convenience fee".

I couldn't find a link. I went to your web site and searched but still couldn't find a link. Only link I found was to a device that uses a tilt sensor.

Can you stop the door half way and then close it?

[@OGKenG]

Did you ever find out what the "str output" was for?

[@BenCos2018]

It's a 12 volt output for a strobe according to their docs defn not the best name to call it str though tbh

What cards to idea with this opener? Simple switch.

[@jeffstolpa8174]

How is this different from ratGDO?

[@jeffrey_k]

Well, It is significantly more expensive :) Might be okay with Genie doors, but if you have a MYQ door, ratGDO is the way to go. Being able to tell my garage door to open to 30% when my laser is running for ventilation is awesome.

[@Barnez2006]

Agreed I love my ratGDO!

[@mostlychris]

ratGDO is made for digital door openers. It's targeted to those MyQ users that want to use those openers with their smart home platforms now that MyQ has closed access. I think Konnected also has a version that can do that now. This device is a contact closure device. I have a cloud connected Genie, but I find their connectivity to be lacking and had some significant outages when I first moved in to this house. I ditched the cloud for a local control.

Nice video,dear.Would you like to review Zemismart smart home devices?

[@dakshkukkar2150]

Guys please stay away from this company, they arnt reasonable to deal with when things go wrong, the optical sensor isnt stable enough either. Please look somewhere else.
