Is this the best route to go.
Smartthings garage door 2017.
They have to be almost completely horizontal to detect.
This prevents the garage door from closing on yourself your kids your car reversing.
I purchased a kit that includes 2 multipurpose sensors.
So this is my initial cut at just that.
Hey just diving into smartthings.
You can either use your smartphone as a presence sensor and set up a geo fence around your home using the free smartthings app.
I have changed the st multi sensor to a smartsense garage door multi sensor and created a virtual momentary switch that trigers the linear device.
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.
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.
I have switched to a samsung hub for a clarecontrols hub so i can be in total control of my hub.
Does anyone know if smartthings hub 2018 is compatible with overhead garage door openers.
I actually have used the time to rearrange clean up the garage since there is a baby on the way in 2 5 weeks.
Automate your gocontrol garage door opener with smartthings and set it to open when you arrive home close when you leave and much more.
Or you can simply carry a smartsense presence sensor in your car briefcase keychain etc to automatically open or close the garage door when you roll into the driveway.
Clare only works with integrators dealers.
Given the price and how many doors i have i opted for something cheaper on my doors.
Its has been working for long time now but was wondering if there is a better setup i should have.
I wanted a smartapp that would close the garage door if no activity was detected over a period of time using a motion sensor.
I have been using the linear fs20z 1 zwave controller with a smartthings multisensor to control my garage door.
Thank you all for the feedback so i went with the advise of changing the code and also i unplugged the garage door opener so we have not been using the garage.
I have the 2 multipurpose sensors working as tilt sensors on my garage doors.
Add a little smartness to your things.
Audio announcements so i hear when home if the garage door is now opened or closed notifications sounds like you have these on your phone push or sms or both this is a great community and a lot of users willing to help others out.
Something i m not terribly pleased with is the angle of detection.
Lol it is a single car garage.
