"garage door set" device type

[curtmcgirt]

I have successfully configured a gen1 smartthings multi sensor as a tilt open/closed sensor for my garage door, and a relay as a virtual momentary switch for my garage door. Both work as expected.

There is a device type in the IDE called “garage door set” that appears to allow me to group these two together in one tile that lets me both open/close the garage and see opened/closed status. But that tile doesn’t open or close the garage, and doesn’t appear to actually be linked to the garage door opener switch- the icon doesn’t match the actual icon of the switch.

Is this device type supported? I can’t find any documentation on it.

ping. ping.

Please search the community for garage door and you will find several threads on this topic. I don’t know anything about the device you mentioned but you will need a SmartApp to sync the devices.

There are a few solutions that I have used, one free:

New smart app to link the virtual/simulated garage door device with two actual devices

Syncs a Simulated garage door device with 2 actual devices, either a tilt or contact sensor and a switch or relay. The simulated device will then control the actual garage door. In addition, the virtual device will sync when the garage door is opened manually, \n It also attempts to double check the door was actually closed in case the beam was crossed. create a virtual device (see elsewhere for instructions) for device type use the simulated garage door. You can also create a modified version for yourself I recommend decreasing the runin time to 1 sec, otherwise it takes 6 secs before the door starts closing or opening when you toggle the simulated device icon. (That is what I did) install this smart app. select your relay /switch, and actual garage door sensor in the app, Also s…

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

Virtual Garage Door Manager and Controller On overwhelming requests from users: This solution allows you to build your own custom/bespoke Garage Door Opener using a Relay and a Door Open/Close sensor or a Tilt sensor and optionally integrate other sensors/controls in to your Virtual Garage Door Controller. It can also work with Gates, Sliding doors / Patio doors to detect if it’s partially open or closed. Key features of this solution: Configure and automatically install up to 5 Virtual Garage Doors Controllers (Required) Use a relay/momentary and door/window/contact/tilt sensor to create a virtual garage door controller (Optional) Use dual contact sensors to detect if Gate / Sliding door is partially open/closed (Optional) Separate Open/Close relays for controllers with Open/Close/Sto…
