Currently using st version 2.
Smartthings garage door routines.
Not worried too much when is being opened but when it.
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.
I have been using my 2 garadget garagedoor opener devices integrated with my smartthings 2 0 hub for a while now.
Easy enough to do in the smart things app on my phone however when i.
I hvae 3 linear gd00z 4 z wave garage door devices hooked up to my garage doors.
Connect the gd00z 4 with smartthings to open or close your garage door from anywhere perfect for allowing entry for a handyman or for closing the door if you forgot to.
The best idea i ve had which i haven t tried yet is to great a virtual switch in st have alexa turn the switch off and on and then create an st routine that controls the door based on the virtual switch.
Manage your gocontrol garage door opener and other connected devices with smartthings routines for good morning goodbye good night and more.
Then you have the option to pick either garage door or conventional door.
This z wave garage door opener provides peace of mind convenience security and safety.
A smartthings garage sensor is merely a sensor which monitors or controls a garage door.
Turn on or off lights and switches lock or unlock doors and open or close garage doors.
For this what you ll need is a garage door sensor for smartthings and smartthings hub.
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.
Automate other connected devices with smartthings and set them to turn on or off when your gocontrol garage door opener detects that your garage door has been opened or shut.
Ifttt and smartthings to open or close the door.
Now that i have an echo in the garage it would be really handy to be able to tell it to open or close the door.
These routines do other things like turn off lights lock doors.
The problem i m having is when the front door is being manually locked or opened the garage doors opens.
They all work great and i have no issues with them detecting the status and opening closing the garage doors until i put them in a routine i tried to create a routine where at a certain time if any of them are open it would close them.
I created a routine in which when i leave the house itsecures and when returning it unsecures.
However recently maybe associated with the last hub update i m not sure i have noticed that the routines that i have to ensure my garage doors are closed at night no longer actually close my garage doors.
When the routine is told to run it will operate the devices you tell it to.
I purchased a myq garage door opener and integrated with st.
You can also use routines to change the status of smart home monitor armed home armed away disarmed and smartthings mode home away night.
My entire home is pretty much fully integrated.
