Problem controling my Lift Master 8500

[Edwin_Baranov]

So my garage is equipped with a Lift master 8500 side mounted motor that uses a 3 button wall mount controller

I recently got the Iris Z-Wave Garage Door Controller sold at Lowes in hopes to control my Door. What I found is if I use the Iris controller by itself then it will open and close the door, however if I wire it to also be connected with the 3 button wall mount it does nothing.

After much research I’ve found that apparently my door is compatible with the MyQ opener and gateway. Does the MyQ work with Smartthings and if not is there a way/hack that I could do to make it work

Linear GD00Z (Garage Controller) and Wall Switch (with Motion Detector)

I was able to get full functionality with the Linear GD00Z controller and a Smart LCD wall controller. It did take custom integration work. Installation Overview Instead of trying to trigger the opener directly, we’ll use the Linear GD00Z to close a relay which will close the button contacts on our smart controller and thus open our door. Materials and Supplies 4 wires (instead of the standard 2) from the opener to the smart controller. Alternatively you can mount the Linear GD00Z on the wall next to your smart controller. I used 18/5 thermostat wire. A 12-volt automotive relay. The Linear GD00Z doesn’t produce enough voltage to trigger the smart controller. It will however close a relay. An additional 12-volt DC power supply. I had an extra lying around from an old wireless router. St…

While that thread I linked has a ton of methods, what I did was solder the leads from the Iris box right to the switch solder points on the board in the wall switch. Essentially, simulating a button press. You have to determine which 2 solder points to use, as my switch (as an example) had 4 contact points soldered to the board.
