Garage Door Virtual Switch Smartthings

The first two update the switch status if the door is opened manually outside of smartthings if open garage door then switch on garage door virtual switch if close garage door then switch off garage door virtual switch.

Garage door virtual switch smartthings. It looks like my current garage door opener is failing and as i replace it i would like to get something that works with smartthings. Attempt to retry close open operations if they don t succeed automate. Create a virtual device see elsewhere. This solution allows you to build your own custom bespoke garage door opener using a relay and a door open close sensor or a tilt sensor and optionally integrate other sensors controls in to your virtual garage door controller.

I created a virtual switch in smartthings then in ifttt i created 4 applets. Combines an actuator switch device and multisensor contact acceleration into a single logical garage door device capability doorcontrol properly reflects the state of the door if opened closed externally door button garage remote etc opens closes immediately when you tell it to what it doesn t do. 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. Key features of this solution.

Configure and automatically install up to 5 virtual. 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.
