Does the tilt sensor for the GD00z get wacky when the battery is getting low? Mine has been pretty stable except for the past couple days it will flip flop closed-open-closed within one minute without the door moving. I think I remember reading in this thread the battery for the DTH only goes from 100 to dead with nothing in between or something like that.
That’s correct. It doesn’t report intermediary values and battery low could cause issues. In my experience sometime voltage fluctuations on the controller causes issues like what you’re mentioning. Putting it into a UPS solves the issues but that’s not an option for everyone.
Interesting. I’ll start with the batteries in the tilt sensor and if it still acts up go for some kind of UPS.
RBoy, quick question. Is there any way to put a delay on opening the garage door? The way that my neighborhood is situated, there are often times that the garage door will open a good 30 seconds to a minute before I get to the garage. I’ve tried making the geofence as small as possible, but if I’m going by the front of my house, it will still be a good minute before I get around to the back. I know the odds of someone taking something in that short of a time isn’t very high, but I’d feel better if it wasn’t open at all while I’m still driving to the back. Thanks.
Sure will add it to the next release of the SmartApp.

Wow. That was fast and more than I had even hoped for. I knew I tell everyone who will listen about your smart apps/DTHs for a reason. Thanks, @RBoy!
@RBoy thank you
would it be possible to add an option to set SHM as well?
basically making sure SHM is disarmed before opening the garage door.
SmartThings automation has all this but enabling disarming SHM causes a 20-30 second delay to open the garage door.
The SHM disarms right away not sure why it causes the delay in opening Linear garage door. Hopefully your DH will solve this. (removing the disarming of SHM in the options and the delay is gone other than the Linear built in 5 second lights/beeping delay.)
It’s possible to add it but essentially you’re moving the problem from the routines to the SmartApp, if controlling the SHM from the routines takes 20 seconds it will take the same with the SmartApp which may lead to timing out.
What you should use this SmartApp to open/close your garage doors and use the Routines to control the SHM only, that works fine.

Hey RBoy,
I really appreciate you so quickly implementing the delayed opening into the app, but it appears to not actually open the door. I’ve been sitting each day cause I wanted to make sure I was right before I bothered you again. I’ve even changed the timer to only 5 seconds so the delay should be pretty much unnoticeable, but it never seems to open. I get the notifications saying it’s going to open the door after said time as it should, but no action. I’ve gone ahead and made sure to open the DH page again and refresh and open the SmartApp and click done. I’ll try and remember to pull up live logging next time I’m arriving home to see what is going on.
Thanks for reporting it, we found the issue and have patched it.

I just wanted to report back that the patch worked like a charm. Garage door opened after the set delay when I arrived home tonight. Much appreciated. Stellar work as always. Thanks.

I just loaded this up! Thanks again for another great device handler.
Is it ok to make a request to have the main tile that is displayed on the Things page view to not be able to initiate any action? It is too easy to accidentally initiate an open/close when simply scrolling the Things view.
It is a lot safer to require the user to click on it in Thing and control it instead from the device view using the OPEN and CLOSE tiles. The small advantage gained being able to toggle the garage door from the Thing view is not worth an accidental “open” when you are away from the house.
I modified the code so it is no big deal for me but just a thought to throw out there.
