Good day, I am a smarthome noob. Before I got a smarthome I bought entrematic in order to open my garage door with my phone. I can’t seem to find the entrematic app under apps on homey. How can I get it to work or do I need to buy a new system for the garage door? Thanks for answers.😊 ---

Welcome Big Guy, Most garage door openers have a additional input, to be able to control it with a remote, by connecting it by a so called ‘dry contact’. You can for instance connect a Shelly UNI smart implant and control it with Homey like that. Here’s an example to control a motor the same way: > [@Zigbee 3.0 Ansteuerung Motor Beamerleinwand](https://community.homey.app/t/zigbee-3-0-ansteuerung-motor-beamerleinwand/103238/4): > > Hello El Capitan, Kein Problem. Das Anschlussschema des Fibaro Smart implant des Smart implant sieht fast gut aus. Aber: du solltest den ‘Neutral/COM’ von die Leinwand NICHT mit dem ‘GND’ des Smart Implants verbinden. Überprüfe auch, dass die ‘ab’ und ‘auf’ Spannung der Ausgänge unter 30VDC / 20VAC ±5% bleibt! (DC = Gleichspannung, AC = Wechselspannung) → das ist die Höchstgrenze für die Kontakte des Smart-Implants. Gegebenenfalls beim Hersteller nachfragen. Verbindest den ‘+’ (9-30V… ---

You provide too less information to be able to answer your question. I made the effort and searched the internet for Entrematic, but got different results. However, if you use Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant or Apple Siri, for example, and the garage door opener is compatible with them, you may be able to control it with Homey. With additional smart devices, it’s usually possible to control a non-smart garage door opener with Homey, as Peter has already mentioned. However, I think he mentioned a poor example because the way a garage door opener works is slightly different. The opening, closing and stopping of a garage door opener is controlled by a pulse, but the example above doesn’t use a pulse. There are already many examples specifically for garage door openers in the forum, please use the search function. As there are no official instructions for such DIY solutions, a certain level of technical understanding is required. Another option are ready-made solutions such as those from ismartgate or Meross. So please search the Homey App Store. ---

> [@DirkG](#): > > controlled by a pulse It’s the principle, Dirk. You can make a relay send a pulse by turning it on, and then turn it off after 1s. No problem. ---
