Garage Door Virtual Switch Smartthings

I created a virtual switch in smartthings then in ifttt i created 4 applets.

Garage door virtual switch smartthings.

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. Key features of this solution. The next two allow smartthings to open close. Create a virtual device see elsewhere.

Attempt to retry close open operations if they don t succeed automate. 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. 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. The simulated device will then control the actual garage door.

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 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. Syncs a simulated garage door device with 2 actual devices either a tilt or contact sensor and a switch or relay.
