Garage door virtual switch smartthings.

Key features of this solution. I created a virtual switch in smartthings then in ifttt i created 4 applets. 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. The next two allow smartthings to open close.

Create a virtual device see elsewhere. In looking at the works with smartthings page it seems that there isn t an opener that inherently connects to smartthings as there are only 2 add on devices that connect to it gocontrol and iris. Configure and automatically install up to 5 virtual. Virtual garage door manager and controller on overwhelming requests from users.

Attempt to retry close open operations if they don t succeed automate. Syncs a simulated garage door device with 2 actual devices either a tilt or contact sensor and a switch or relay. 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.
