Smartthings Relay Garage Door

Best smartthings garage door sensor options.

Smartthings relay garage door. The relay goes on and has a built in timer that once makes contact turns off after 1 second. Connect the power cable to the outlet and pair the linear fs20z 1 z wave relay. Current code requires that an audio and visual warning fire for 5 seconds before the door moves. For control you ll need a smartthings garage door sensor and a relay switch.

Connect the ge z wave light appliance module between the garage power cable and the line. Pair with the st hub and test to see if it activates the garage door. The smart plug feeds the relay and the relay goes to the two switch terminals on the garage door opener. After installing the relay switch in your garage and placing a smartsense multi on your garage door which senses if the door is open or close you ll be able to trigger your garage door to automatically open close when you arrive leave through two different ways.

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. I also have a camera in the garage for extra verification if i think the tilt sensor is lying to me or something. Tap on select relay switch to choose the relay the child relay device so r1 r2 or r3 rather than the master zen16 multirelay connected to your garage door.

It is not code in most places. I do use a tilt sensor to see if the door is open or close then activate the relay to move the door. Therefore the sensor tells if a door is open or closed.
