[OBSOLETE] Ridiculously Simple Virtual Garage Door

[sandro2304 (Sandro)]

The issue with this code is that it requires a door sensor that has ‘acceleration’ capabilities. This comes form the line of code:

section("Garage door multisensor"){
    input "contactSensor", "capability.contactSensor",
        title: "Garage Door Contact Sensor",
        required: true
    input "accelerationSensor", "capability.accelerationSensor",
        title: "Garage Door Acceleration Sensor",
        required: true

}

My Ecolink tilt sensor does have acceleration capabilities so it would not work without modifications to either the “Virtual Garage Door Manager” code or to my Ecolink’s device handler.

I use @Lgkahn implementation which works pretty well straight out of the box. Also, his implementation works with Alexa.

Here is the link:

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…

Note: The thread is long, but if you read the first 50 posts, almost all the info you need is there.
