    This is interesting. I’ll try to see if I can get it to work! The opener is very old and currently opens with a doorbell. It doesn’t even have obstruction sensors.

    Thanks!

      No worries.

      No garage for us so no personal experience setting up, but I know it from a few years of soaking up related info.

      We use Homeassistant here & ratgdo is mentioned a lot when the subject comes up. There’s a whole thing about the manufacturers going to shit and locking down their remote options, hence that hack.

      If yours is just a simple switch, something like a Shelly1 could do the job too. I’ve got one of those wired in parallel with our heating thermostat to control the boiler - either by user input or automatically based on other connected sensors :)

        Shelly1 is exactly almost exactly what I was picturing initially.

        I was thinking I just need some sort of simple relay to send a signal.

        Thank you! Shelly is out of stock right now but I’m sure there is something similar out there.
