I have a controller that plugs right into my opener with a magnetic sensor for if the door is open or not. Running Homebridge I can see it and open and close it from anywhere. Did it all the way from Thailand a while back just for shits and giggles. I gotta see if I can configure it to auto shut if it’s still open at night, have had a couple of whoopsies there.
Comment on My reason for wanting HomeAssistant and a locked down VLAN...
Dudewitbow@lemmy.zip 3 weeks agoif you have a garage, design a method to basically ensure your garage door is closed without you needing to go back to check.
of course if you trust yourself with never making that mistake.

I use GarHAge which uses open hardware and software and was pretty easy and cheap too. github.com/marthoc/GarHAge

That sounds like the way to do it. It’s under your control and it’ll always work.

No garage sadly.

I agree, I set my grandparents doors up on a timer, if its still open at 11 PM it auto closes both doors. I’ve got the ping a few times now saying “emergency door schedule activated” meaning that they were open and had not been closed prior.
