Best choice for Garage Door Control Relay

[Brad_Leonard]

In 2015 I bought a Linear FS20Z dry contact relay to control my garage door opener. I also used a Monoprice tilt sensor. The relay lasted until this last summer when it totally failed. I only paid $35 for it, but I would have expected it to last longer.

What is a good relay today that doesn’t cost $90 such as the FortrezZ product?

You can find a bunch of them discussed on this topic:

[RELEASE] Virtual Garage Door Opener/Controller with Relays and Contact/Tilt/Door Sensors

Folks have asked for examples of devices that can be used to build this custom garage door controller. Dry Contact Relays Qubino Flush Relay Remotec ZooZ Zen16 Multi Relay Vision Micro Switch Garage Door Tilt Sensors EcoLink Tilt Sensor Monoprice Garage Door Sensor Samsung SmartThings Multipurpose Sensor Door/Window Sensors (Mounted or Recessed) Monoprice 15268 Monoprice 15270 Monoprice 24859 Ecolink Dome Optional Accessories Ring/Chimes Toggle Switches Toggle Buttons These are just examples, most of these components are fairly cheap. Maybe you just have some older components lying around or can be sourced for multiple places Monoprice has fewer options but you can find deals running on these products from time to time @TheSmarte…

I ended up removing my FortrezZ Mimolite because it kept having problems, so I went with the Linear opener. If price is your focus, take a look at the Qubino Flush 1D Relay that’s in the link RBoy posted. Their site even includes how to use it with a garage door.
