You’re welcome, Senad.

Okay, my example.  
Device to control: Arris TV settop box

- Controlled by Broadlink IR blaster device called Budget TV box.  
Screenshot of the mobile phone Broadlink app:  

- GHome:  
Broadlink is coupled to GHome, with the “Budget TV box” device  

- Homey:  
A virtual switch called “Arris SetTopBox” is used as a GHome Routine-starter;  
Make sure you pick “Household” as Routine type  

- This routine pushes the virtual ‘ON’ button of the Broadlink IR remote.  

##### For the OFF switch I made a similar routine.

In your particular case, you can also choose to use the Tuya cloud app [tap-to-run method](https://community.homey.app/t/app-pro-tuya-cloud/21313/296). A garagedoor opener is not directly supported by the app yet, but you can always make a [request here](https://community.homey.app/t/app-pro-tuya-cloud/21313).
