> I use the Fibaro pulse switch to open my garage door. When I’m home, fine. The moment I accidentally press the “device button” when I am not at home, the gate will also open unintentionally. How can I prevent this? Can I protect the button? Can I build in a flow into a code that must be actively entered as security to prevent unwanted opening? Who needs a flowchart solution for this? Or do you have another idea to incorporate this protection?
