I installed a Linear/GoControl/Nortek Garage opener last night and found something odd. My opener is a Craftsman (non-AssureLink/MyQ model) unit that’s from 2007. I’ve found that if I have the wall mounted switch hooked up with the gd00z-4 device, it doesn’t work. It reads if the door is open or closed, but won’t actually open or close it. However, if I unhook the wall mounted Craftsman switch, and only have the gd00z-4 hooked up, it can open and close the garage fine.

I tired running extra wires from the gd00z-4 device to the back of the wall switch instead of going directly to the opener, this didn’t work either.

I’m thinking about just ditching the wall switch and getting a z-wave button to be my wall mounted switch instead.

Any thoughts as to why it doesn’t work when the wall switch is hooked up too?
