Sync garage door

[Themlruts]

I am using a rsm2 to control my garage doors. I have two virtual relays. I also have two virtual garage door controller. I’m also using two smarthings contact sensors in garage mode. What I want to is sync the contact sensors to the virtual garage door controller.
So if I manually open the door the contact sensor would update the virtual garage controller status

Can this be done? I can’t seem to figure how to update status of a virtual switch.
Thanks
Mike

There is an app for that…

FYI (another good to find apps/solutions): http://thingsthataresmart.wiki/index.php?title=How_to_Quick_Browse_the_Community-Created_SmartApps_Forum_Section

There are actually some other apps, too but this is the one I have been using for quite some time without issues:

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…

Thanks the problem with that app it doesn’t work with a dual relay setup. Since it’s dual relay I have to creat to virtual switches. I would have to choose those instead of the physical opener. And it doesn’t work.

What about Trend Setter?

[OBSOLETE] Trend Setter

Trend Setter - A SmartApp for grouping devices Read First I am not usually one for releasing stuff I write because I am my own worst critic and usually self destruct before putting anything out into the general public (I’ve revised this post more times than I’d like to count). I am trying to change that behaviour… Although I am a software engineer by trade, I am not a Java/Groovy developer so I may not have written some of the code in the most efficient way. I expect this to change from feedback and as my knowledge grows. I tend to find I use the app to control a lot of things more than anything else so this is useful for that. I have only used this on an Android phone and can’t be sure how it’ll behave on an iOS device due to the parity issues between Android and iOS apps so give no g…

Thanks for the apps. But is there a way to do this with core?

[pizzinini]

I tried to set up a CoRE piston to sync my garage tilt sensor with a virtual door and it worked well for automated changes. I was never able to get the physical switch sync working because the time difference between opening the door and the sensor actually showing it was not consistent and the garage door would always stop half way open or closed. I am sure there is a right way though… well here is my automated piston (should be easy to adapt for 2 doors).

Idea for a Garage Door project need input

[image] Here is the setup for the door opening and closing by turning on the relay. I still need to set up the rule to sync the virtual door with the the real door if it is opens manually.

Thanks I have something similar but using two pistons. .but like how you used one. I saw you said you could not get the sync to work. Do you have the Piston details for the sync?

[pizzinini]

sorry - I abandoned the piston effort and installed the app from post 2 above.

You may be able to install two instances of the app, one to sync each relay/sensor?
