[OBSOLETE] MIMOlite Garage Door Sensor with Position Indicator

rewrite the code so Amazon echo recognize it as a regular door opener instead of switch? Can we import the code from the Linear/GoControl GD00Z-4 Garage door opener?

All the capabilities are already in the code for it to be recognized as a door opener, except maybe:

capability “Door Control”

Adding that won’t help Alexa though. Amazon made some change on their end that took away the functionality of the words open and close. It use to work a while back, and now it doesn’t. I don’t use the GD00Z-4, but I suspect it has the same issue. This thread discussed some of the recent changes:

Echo Naming Quirks

So I have that same semantic dilemma. I created a group called “bedtime” to power off the TV and living room lights. But, I have my “off” switch position in the start activity sequence. It didn’t seem to work to power off TV, etc in the end sequence. However, I have to say “turn on bedtime” to turn the TV off, but “turn off bedtime” to turn the lights off. I feel like I’m missing the obvious in my set up, but I tried a few methods and then nothing would power off.
