Has anyone had success using the home-link buttons found in there vehicle to trigger routines like I’m Home or Goodbye? What would be a few options to do this? Could this be done using a device like a Liftmaster 850LM homelink receiver wired into a dry contact sensor? It would need to be some kind …

I looked into using Homelink but the frequencies are not right to communicate with much. I have a garage door set up in ST and Homelink in both cars that I use for triggers (a ST sensor and a evolve relay) which works well but I was never able to figure out how to do anything direct from Homelink.…

The frequencies I don’t see being a problem as you can use a generic homelink receiver, I believe the problem is finding the right zwave hardware that can monitor the open close command (wire short) then treat it as a momentary button press to activate a virtual switch. I’m not very familiar with th…

The dry contacts in small battery operated sensors are useful for adding zwave capability to low-power situations like a pressure Mat. If you want to wire something inline to a mains-powered device, the Mimolite is a popular option. For example, people will use this to report if a powered HVAC ve…

Here’s my Homelink receiver modified to use ZigBee. Source is on my github. [image] Wayne-Dalton WDHA-12 doesn't connect, can I bridge two zwave networks? Devices & Integrations This conversation spurred me on to do the ZigBee modification to my WDHA. It turned out grea…

I have seen the WDHA-12 but it seemed there was not much information on how to make it work. It does seem like a cheaper option, as using a homelink receiver would require a dry contact sensor for each channel/scene. What is the reason to convert it to zigbee? How does it really function?

SmartThings doesn’t support the way it worked with Z-Wave. I’ve already made a few other ZigBee devices so I converted it to ZigBee. The ZigBee board detects the short LED flash that occurs when the remote button is pressed. The DTH makes that available as a three button controller which works wi…

I tried to configure it with my buddy’s Vera to program the scenes, but I gave up. It seems like it should be possible, though. Another option is having it control a light or something and then triggering SmartThings with the change in the light state. Not sure if it could be connected to a dry c…

I think I’m with you now. How involved is the zigbee conversion, is it still cost effective? I’m not quite sure how using a dedicated device off the homelink gateway would work, if you can’t connect a zwave device but to one network then how is smartthings suppose to poll it’s state. Unless you used…
