Dummy Caseta With Pico to Operate Garage Door

[YareliVaughn]

I don't think you can implement your idea because as @randyc said there are typically 3 ways to control a garage door opener. I recommend that you choose one of the options or ask the professionals who installed the door for you. We are on the lookout for a quality garage door, too. We decided to replace the doors and gates in the whole house. We ordered quality interior doors at doordesignlab.com. Now we have to choose and order the front door, garage door, and pantry door. We plan to choose something similar in style to the interior doors so that they match each other.

I used a Shelly 1 relay set to momentary wired in parallel to the dumb switch for my garage opener. I use home-assistant to control my smart stuff (which Lutron has an integration) but it can be controlled via HomeKit, Alexa, Google, etc. The Shelly 1 has the benefit of using mains or 12v-48v wiring (can be powered directly from the garage door opener).

Just google "Shelly 1 garage door" or look on youtube... there are tons of how-tos using all kinds of different scenes and automations using reed switches and other creative hackery. ;).

I’ve been thinking about getting into home automation myself. Your mention of using it for the garage opener is inspiring; I hadn’t considered how versatile it is with different power options. It’s great to see so many resources online for DIY projects like this. If anyone’s in the Portland area and runs into issues with their garage door, I found some solid repair services here: https://portlanddoorsandlocksguy.com. They seem really reliable! Just a thought in case anyone needs a hand.
