Trying to Build My Own Z-Wave Garage Door Opener (Looking for a Relay Switch Suggestion)

[JDRoberts]

@NomadTech

My DirectDrive (Sommer) will not close second time no matter what remote/automation I try to use. It’s in the mechanism controlling the motor.

Excellent.

@JDRoberts

As I mentioned, this did happen to some community members using a relay method and the previous “ridiculously automated garage door” smart app.

Any link? Maybe they have some older openers.

Definitely could be, the thread was from before the 2016 UL change.

Ridiculously automated garage door - Closing on my wife's van issue

Hello ST Community! I recently installed the ridiculously automated garage door app for the Linear Garage Door Opener (gd00z-1). The only problem i’m having is that the it is triggering the garage door to close after my wife arrives and she has to park with the rear of the car sticking out of the garage to open the trunk hatch without it getting scratched up to get items out. After she gets them out she pulls the van into the appropriate position. Since I am not a coder/developer by any means… how can I set a delay to keep it from closing for a certain period of time? or is there a way to wait for a motion sensor to be triggered before closing it? Any advice is greatly appreciated! Thanks, Brent
