Z-Wave Garage Door Opener Recommendations

[Santiago_Perez]

It’s almost 2021 would love to know the following that works with smartthings 3rd gen Hub:

1. What smart Z-wave garage door openers are people using?
2. In place of a garage door opener, what controller is everyone using?

Thank you,
Santiago

@Jake_Mohl Did you have to do anything special to get it to show up right on your smartthings? Are you using 3rd gen hub for ST.

V2 hub.

Try factory resetting it.

Perform a device factory reset before pairing by pressing the include button on the GD00Z 5 times.

Then go through the pairing process. You then have to pair the sensor to the control unit.

In the link below is instructions how how to repair the sensor. You don’t have to manually flip it like how he says. I just pressed the garage door button to open the door and again to close it.

Keep in mind that you might actually need to pair the tilt sensor with the garage door opener itself under some circumstances. After fiddling with my units for days I was able to piece together this info from a few different sites and comments from people who purchased the unit on Amazon. The tilt sensor uses some kind of proprietary communication protocol and talks directly with the main unit and not through the Z-Wave network, so ST doesn’t know anything about it. This is important because the sensor talks to the unit to let it know the garage door state… If you send the controller a command to open / close the door, it waits to hear from the tilt sensor about the door state (closing / closed, opening / open). If it doesn’t get that message for whatever reason, you get one more chan…
